Abstract
Description
本發明係關於一種基板乾燥腔。更特定而言,本發明係關於一種能夠藉由在供應或排放一超臨界流體時引發一對稱流且藉由在一腔中均勻地分佈及供應超臨界流體並自該腔排放超臨界流體來增加基板乾燥效率且防止顆粒在一乾燥程序終止及該腔敞開時引入至該腔內部之一基板上之技術。The invention relates to a substrate drying chamber. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method capable of inducing a symmetrical flow when supplying or discharging a supercritical fluid and by uniformly distributing and supplying the supercritical fluid in a cavity and discharging the supercritical fluid from the cavity. A technology to increase the efficiency of substrate drying and prevent particles from being introduced onto a substrate inside the cavity when a drying process is terminated and the cavity is open.
一半導體器件之一製造程序包含各種程序,諸如一微影程序、一蝕刻程序、一離子植入程序及類似者。在各程序終止之後及在執行一後續程序之前,執行一清潔程序及一乾燥程序以移除留於一晶圓表面上之雜質及殘留物以清潔晶圓表面。A manufacturing process of a semiconductor device includes various processes, such as a lithography process, an etching process, an ion implantation process, and the like. After each process is terminated and before a subsequent process is performed, a cleaning process and a drying process are performed to remove impurities and residues remaining on the surface of a wafer to clean the surface of the wafer.
例如,在一蝕刻程序之後的一晶圓之一清潔程序中,將用於清潔程序之一化學液體供應至一晶圓表面上,且接著供應去離子水(DIW)使得執行沖洗處理。在沖洗處理之後,執行乾燥程序以移除留於晶圓表面上之DIW以乾燥晶圓。For example, in a cleaning process of a wafer after an etching process, a chemical liquid used for the cleaning process is supplied to a surface of a wafer, and then deionized water (DIW) is supplied to perform a rinse process. After the rinsing process, a drying process is performed to remove the DIW remaining on the wafer surface to dry the wafer.
例如,已知一種藉由用異丙醇(IPA)置換一晶圓上之DIW來乾燥一晶圓之技術作為一種執行乾燥處理之方法。For example, a technique of drying a wafer by replacing DIW on a wafer with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is known as a method of performing a drying process.
然而,如圖1中所展示,根據此一習知乾燥技術,在乾燥處理期間,發生形成於晶圓上之一圖案歸因於作為一液體之IPA之表面張力而塌陷之一問題。However, as shown in FIG. 1, according to this conventional drying technique, during the drying process, a problem occurs that a pattern formed on the wafer collapses due to the surface tension of the IPA as a liquid.
為了解決上述問題,已提出一種其中表面張力變為零之超臨界乾燥技術。In order to solve the above problems, a supercritical drying technique in which the surface tension becomes zero has been proposed.
根據此一超臨界乾燥技術,將處於一超臨界狀態之二氧化碳(CO2 )供應至其表面在一腔內被IPA潤濕之一晶圓使得晶圓上之IPA溶解於一超臨界CO2 流體中。接著,自該腔逐漸排放溶解有IPA之超臨界CO2 流體使得可乾燥晶圓而無圖案之塌陷。According to this supercritical drying technology, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in a supercritical state is supplied to a wafer whose surface is wetted by IPA in a cavity so that the IPA on the wafer is dissolved in a supercritical CO 2 fluid middle. Then, the supercritical CO 2 fluid dissolved with IPA is gradually discharged from the cavity so that the wafer can be dried without pattern collapse.
圖2繪示韓國專利特許公開申請案第10-2017-0137243號(其係結合一基板處理裝置使用此一超臨界流體之先前技術)中所揭示之一基板處理腔。FIG. 2 shows a substrate processing chamber disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Application No. 10-2017-0137243 (which is a prior art that uses this supercritical fluid in conjunction with a substrate processing device).
參考圖2,在一超臨界乾燥程序中移除一有機溶劑之一程序中,可將一有機溶劑引入至一耦合表面上,在該耦合表面上構成一高壓腔410之一上主體430及一下主體420彼此接觸。引入至上主體430與下主體420之間的耦合表面中之有機溶劑變成累積於耦合表面周圍之顆粒。Referring to FIG. 2, in a process of removing an organic solvent in a supercritical drying process, an organic solvent can be introduced onto a coupling surface on which a high-
在超臨界乾燥程序終止之後,敞開高壓腔410以將經處理基板返回至外部。在此情況下,歸因於高壓腔410之一內部與其外部之間的一壓差,上主體430與下主體420之間的耦合表面周圍之顆粒可經引入至高壓腔410之內部中。After the supercritical drying process is terminated, the high-
根據韓國專利特許公開申請案第10-2017-0137243號,由於一基板經定位於上主體430與下主體420之間的耦合表面下方,而上主體430與下主體420之間的耦合表面周圍之顆粒經引入至高壓腔410之內部中,因此存在一些顆粒歸因於重力而引入至基板上之一高概率。According to Korean Patent Laid-open Application No. 10-2017-0137243, since a substrate is positioned below the coupling surface between the
如上文所描述,由於引入至基板上之顆粒引起一程序缺陷以便防止引入顆粒,因此必需另外將一阻擋簾安裝於上主體430與下主體420之間的耦合表面周圍。據此,存在裝置之一總體結構複雜之一問題。As described above, since the particles introduced onto the substrate cause a process defect in order to prevent the particles from being introduced, it is necessary to additionally install a barrier curtain around the coupling surface between the
此外,根據包含韓國專利特許公開申請案第10-2017-0137243號之相關技術,由於用於供應一待初始加壓超臨界流體之一下供應埠422及用於在乾燥之後排放超臨界流體之一排放埠426未經定位於下主體420之一中心處,因此當供應及排放超臨界流體時,形成超臨界流體之一非對稱流使得難以在高壓腔410中均勻地分佈及供應超臨界流體且自高壓腔410排放超臨界流體。因此,發生乾燥效率降級之一問題。In addition, according to the related technology including Korean Patent Laid-Open Application No. 10-2017-0137243, one of the

透過一個整合式供應/排放埠50,提供待初始加壓超臨界流體的供應路徑及溶解有在乾燥之後形成於基板W上之有機溶劑之超臨界流體的排放路徑,使得存在以下效應:藉由在供應及排放超臨界流體時引發一對稱流以在基板乾燥腔1中均勻地分佈及供應超臨界流體且自基板乾燥腔1排放超臨界流體來增加基板乾燥效率。Through an integrated supply/
例如,整合式供應/排放埠50包含:第一管線510,其自下殼體20之一個側表面24形成至其中間區28;共同埠520,其經形成以在中間區28中與第一管線510連通且指向基板放置板40;及一第二管線530,其經構形以在中間區28中與共同埠520及第一管線510連通且經形成朝向下殼體20之另一側表面26。第一管線510及共同埠520可經構形以提供待初始加壓超臨界流體之供應路徑,且共同埠520及第二管線530可經構形以提供溶解有有機溶劑之超臨界流體之排放路徑。For example, the integrated supply/
上供應埠60係形成為在上殼體10之一中央區中指向基板放置板40以提供待乾燥超臨界流體之供應路徑之一組件。The

例如,歸因於基板放置板支撐件70而存在於下殼體20之底表面22與基板放置板40之間的一第一分離空間R1可執行以下功能:藉由允許透過整合式供應/排放埠50供應之待初始加壓超臨界流體沿基板放置板40之一底表面移動來引發待初始加壓超臨界流體逐漸擴散至其中配置基板W之一處理區域中。For example, a first separation space R1 existing between the
基板支撐件80係其之一端經耦合至基板放置板40之一頂表面及其另一端經耦合至基板W且在支撐基板W時將基板W與基板放置板40之頂表面分離之一組件。The
例如,歸因於基板支撐件80而存在於基板放置板40之頂表面與基板W之間的一第二分離空間R2執行以下功能:藉由將基板W之一底表面暴露於透過整合式供應/排放埠50供應之待初始加壓超臨界流體及透過上供應埠60供應之待乾燥超臨界流體來縮減乾燥程序之一時間。For example, a second separation space R2 existing between the top surface of the
殼體驅動器90係用於敞開或閉合上殼體10及下殼體20之一部件。在乾燥程序終止之後,驅使下殼體20與上殼體10分離以敞開基板乾燥腔1,或當乾燥程序開始時,殼體驅動器90可執行以下功能:驅動下殼體20且將下殼體20耦合至上殼體10以閉合基板乾燥腔1。儘管殼體驅動器90已在圖式中被繪示為驅動下殼體20,但此僅僅係一項實例,且殼體驅動器90可經構形以驅動上殼體10。The
例如,待初始加壓超臨界流體及待乾燥超臨界流體可包含二氧化碳(CO2 ),且有機溶劑可包含醇,但本發明不限於此。作為一特定實例,該醇可包含甲醇、乙醇、1-丙醇、2-丙醇(異丙醇(IPA))及1-丁醇,但本發明不限於此。For example, the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized and the supercritical fluid to be dried may include carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and the organic solvent may include alcohol, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As a specific example, the alcohol may include methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol (isopropanol (IPA)), and 1-butanol, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
