Description

基板乾燥腔Substrate drying chamber

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-pressure cavity 410, an upper body 430 and a lower body are formed. The main bodies 420 are in contact with each other. The organic solvent introduced into the coupling surface between the upper body 430 and the lower body 420 becomes particles accumulated around the coupling surface.

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-pressure chamber 410 is opened to return the processed substrate to the outside. In this case, due to a pressure difference between the inside of one of the high pressure chambers 410 and the outside, particles around the coupling surface between the upper body 430 and the lower body 420 may be introduced into the inside of the high pressure chamber 410.

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 upper body 430 and the lower body 420, and the coupling surface between the upper body 430 and the lower body 420 is around the The particles are introduced into the interior of the high-pressure chamber 410, so there is a high probability that some particles are introduced onto the substrate due to gravity.

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 upper body 430 and the lower body 420. Accordingly, there is a problem that the overall structure of one of the devices is complicated.

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 lower supply ports 422 is used to supply a supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized and one of the supercritical fluids is discharged after drying. The discharge port 426 is not positioned at a center of the lower body 420, so when the supercritical fluid is supplied and discharged, an asymmetric flow of the supercritical fluid is formed, making it difficult to uniformly distribute and supply the supercritical fluid in the high pressure chamber 410 and The supercritical fluid is discharged from the high pressure chamber 410. Therefore, one of the problems of degradation of drying efficiency occurs.

The particles are present on a sealing component arranged on a coupling surface between the upper casing and the lower casing and are present around the sealing component.

參考圖3至圖7,根據本發明之一項實施例之一基板乾燥腔1包含一上殼體10、一下殼體20、一密封部件30、一基板放置板40、一整合式供應/排放埠50、一上供應埠60、一基板放置板支撐件70、一基板支撐件80及一殼體驅動器90。3-7, a substrate drying chamber 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper housing 10, a lower housing 20, a sealing member 30, a substrate placement plate 40, and an integrated supply/discharge Port 50, an upper supply port 60, a substrate placement board support 70, a substrate support 80, and a housing driver 90.

上殼體10及下殼體20可開閉自如地彼此耦合且提供其中執行一乾燥程序之一空間。例如,上殼體10及下殼體20可各經構建以具有一圓柱形狀,但本發明不限於此。如下文所描述,上供應埠60經形成於上殼體10中,且整合式供應/排放埠50經形成於下殼體20中。The upper casing 10 and the lower casing 20 can be freely coupled to each other and provide a space for performing a drying process. For example, the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 20 may each be constructed to have a cylindrical shape, but the invention is not limited thereto. As described below, the upper supply port 60 is formed in the upper housing 10 and the integrated supply/discharge port 50 is formed in the lower housing 20.

密封部件30經設置於下殼體20與上殼體10之間的一耦合表面C上且維持下殼體20與上殼體10之間的耦合表面C之氣密性以將基板乾燥腔1之一內部區與外部隔離。The sealing member 30 is disposed on a coupling surface C between the lower casing 20 and the upper casing 10 and maintains the airtightness of the coupling surface C between the lower casing 20 and the upper casing 10 to dry the substrate 1 One of the internal areas is isolated from the outside.

例如,如用於描述防止顆粒流入至一基板W上之原理之圖7中所展示,顆粒存在於設置於上殼體10與下殼體20之間的耦合表面C上之密封部件30上且存在於密封部件30周圍,且當一乾燥程序終止以及下殼體20及上殼體10敞開時,基板W可配置於基板放置板40上以便定位成高於下殼體20與上殼體10之間的耦合表面C,且當乾燥程序終止以及下殼體20及上殼體10敞開時,基板乾燥腔1可經構形以防止顆粒歸因於根據基板W與耦合表面C之間的一高度差之重力而流入至基板W上,其中顆粒存在於設置於耦合表面C上之密封部件30周圍。For example, as shown in FIG. 7 for describing the principle of preventing particles from flowing onto a substrate W, the particles exist on the sealing member 30 provided on the coupling surface C between the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 20 and Exist around the sealing member 30, and when a drying process is terminated and the lower casing 20 and the upper casing 10 are opened, the substrate W can be arranged on the substrate placement plate 40 so as to be positioned higher than the lower casing 20 and the upper casing 10 When the drying process is terminated and the lower casing 20 and the upper casing 10 are opened, the substrate drying chamber 1 may be configured to prevent particles from being attributed to the coupling surface C between the substrate W and the coupling surface C. The gravity of the height difference flows into the substrate W, in which particles exist around the sealing member 30 provided on the coupling surface C.

基板放置板40經耦合至下殼體20之一底表面22且係其上配置基板W(一有機溶劑形成於基板W上)之一組件。The substrate placement board 40 is coupled to a bottom surface 22 of the lower casing 20 and is a component on which a substrate W (an organic solvent is formed on the substrate W) is disposed.

例如,透過構成整合式供應/排放埠50之一第一管線510及一共同埠520供應之一待初始加壓超臨界流體可由基板放置板40阻擋以防止直接注入至基板W上。For example, a first line 510 and a common port 520 that form an integrated supply/discharge port 50 supply a supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized by the substrate placement plate 40 to prevent direct injection onto the substrate W.

更具體而言,如繪示待初始加壓超臨界流體之一擴散路徑之圖4及繪示溶解有有機溶劑之一超臨界流體之一排放路徑之圖6中所展示,可藉由以下步驟縮減乾燥程序之一時間使得可防止形成於基板W上之一圖案塌陷:使用作為乾燥程序之一目標、配置基板W必不可少之基板放置板40阻擋在乾燥程序終止之後敞開基板乾燥腔1時再引入之顆粒及由此阻擋待初始加壓超臨界流體之一流在乾燥程序之一初始階段直接朝向基板W之一表面;防止待初始加壓超臨界流體中可含有之顆粒沈積於基板W上之一問題;縮減顆粒之一沈積量;及歸因於基板放置板40所佔據之一體積而縮減基板乾燥腔1之一工作體積。More specifically, as shown in Fig. 4 showing a diffusion path of the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized and Fig. 6 showing a discharge path of a supercritical fluid dissolved in an organic solvent, the following steps can be performed Reducing the time of the drying process makes it possible to prevent the pattern formed on the substrate W from collapsing: Use the substrate placement plate 40, which is one of the targets of the drying process and essential for arranging the substrate W, to block the opening of the substrate drying chamber 1 after the drying process is terminated The particles to be re-introduced and thereby block the flow of the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized directly face a surface of the substrate W at an initial stage of the drying process; prevent the particles that may be contained in the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized from being deposited on the substrate W One problem is to reduce the amount of deposited particles; and to reduce the working volume of the substrate drying chamber 1 due to a volume occupied by the substrate placement plate 40.

整合式供應/排放埠50經形成以自下殼體20之一個側表面24延伸至另一側表面26且經形成為自一個側表面24及另一側表面26之一中間區28指向基板放置板40。整合式供應/排放埠50係用於提供待初始加壓超臨界流體之一供應路徑及在乾燥之後溶解有形成於基板W上之有機溶劑之超臨界流體之一排放路徑之一組件。The integrated supply/discharge port 50 is formed to extend from one side surface 24 to the other side surface 26 of the lower housing 20, and is formed to be positioned toward the substrate from an intermediate region 28 of one side surface 24 and the other side surface 26板40. The integrated supply/discharge port 50 is a component for providing a supply path of the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized and a discharge path of the supercritical fluid in which the organic solvent formed on the substrate W is dissolved after drying.

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/discharge port 50, a supply path of the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized and a discharge path of the supercritical fluid dissolved in the organic solvent formed on the substrate W after drying are provided, so that the following effects are present: When the supercritical fluid is supplied and discharged, a symmetrical flow is induced to uniformly distribute and supply the supercritical fluid in the substrate drying chamber 1 and discharge the supercritical fluid from the substrate drying chamber 1 to increase the substrate drying efficiency.

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/discharge port 50 includes: a first pipeline 510, which is formed from a side surface 24 of the lower housing 20 to a middle region 28; a common port 520, which is formed to communicate with the first line in the middle region 28 The pipeline 510 communicates and points to the substrate placement plate 40; and a second pipeline 530, which is configured to communicate with the common port 520 and the first pipeline 510 in the intermediate region 28 and is formed to face the other side surface of the lower housing 20 26. The first pipeline 510 and the common port 520 can be configured to provide a supply path for the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized, and the common port 520 and the second pipeline 530 can be configured to provide discharge of the supercritical fluid dissolved in organic solvent path.

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 upper supply port 60 is formed as a component in a central area of the upper casing 10 that points to the substrate placement plate 40 to provide a supply path for the supercritical fluid to be dried.

基板放置板支撐件70係其之一端經耦合至下殼體20之底表面22及其另一端經耦合至基板放置板40且在支撐基板放置板40時將基板放置板40與下殼體20之底表面22分離之一組件。The substrate placement board support 70 has one end coupled to the bottom surface 22 of the lower housing 20 and the other end thereof is coupled to the substrate placement board 40 and connects the substrate placement board 40 and the lower housing 20 when the substrate placement board 40 is supported. The bottom surface 22 is separated from one component.

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 bottom surface 22 of the lower housing 20 and the substrate placement plate 40 due to the substrate placement plate support 70 may perform the following function: by allowing the integrated supply/discharge The supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized supplied by the port 50 moves along a bottom surface of the substrate placement plate 40 to cause the supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized to gradually diffuse into a processing area in which the substrate W is disposed.

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 substrate support 80 is a component whose one end is coupled to a top surface of the substrate placement board 40 and the other end is coupled to the substrate W and separates the substrate W from the top surface of the substrate placement board 40 when supporting the substrate W.

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 substrate placement plate 40 and the substrate W due to the substrate support 80 performs the following function: by exposing one of the bottom surfaces of the substrate W to the integrated supply /The supercritical fluid to be initially pressurized supplied by the discharge port 50 and the supercritical fluid to be dried supplied through the upper supply port 60 to reduce the time of the drying process.

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 housing driver 90 is used to open or close one of the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 20. After the drying process is terminated, the lower housing 20 is driven to separate from the upper housing 10 to open the substrate drying chamber 1, or when the drying process starts, the housing driver 90 may perform the following functions: drive the lower housing 20 and remove the lower housing 20 is coupled to the upper housing 10 to close the substrate drying chamber 1. Although the housing driver 90 has been shown as driving the lower housing 20 in the drawing, this is only an example, and the housing driver 90 can be configured to drive the upper housing 10.

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.

例如,根據在根據本發明之一項實施例之基板乾燥腔1中執行之超臨界乾燥技術,將處於一超臨界狀態之CO2 供應至基板W,基板W之一表面在基板乾燥腔1中被有機溶劑(諸如醇或類似者)潤濕使得基板W上之醇溶解於一超臨界CO2 流體中。接著,自基板乾燥腔1逐漸排放溶解有醇之超臨界CO2 流體使得可乾燥基板W而無一圖案塌陷。For example, according to the supercritical drying technology performed in the substrate drying chamber 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, CO 2 in a supercritical state is supplied to the substrate W, and one surface of the substrate W is in the substrate drying chamber 1 Wetting by an organic solvent (such as alcohol or the like) dissolves the alcohol on the substrate W in a supercritical CO 2 fluid. Then, the alcohol-dissolved supercritical CO 2 fluid is gradually discharged from the substrate drying chamber 1 so that the substrate W can be dried without a pattern collapse.
