Description

基板處理裝置及利用該裝置的基板處理方法 Substrate processing apparatus and substrate processing method using the same

本發明涉及基板處理裝置及利用該裝置的基板處理方法,詳言之,涉及利用電漿在基板表面執行基板處理的基板處理裝置及利用該裝置的基板處理方法。 The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method using the same, and more particularly, to a substrate processing apparatus for performing substrate processing on a substrate surface using plasma and a substrate processing method using the same.

基板處理裝置包括形成密封的內部空間的真空腔室和設置在所述真空腔室內並安裝有基板的基板支撐部,是一種在內部空間注入處理氣體的同時施加電源來蝕刻或者沉積基板表面的裝置。 The substrate processing apparatus includes a vacuum chamber that forms a sealed inner space and a substrate support part that is arranged in the vacuum chamber and has a substrate mounted thereon. It is a device for etching or depositing the surface of a substrate while injecting a processing gas into the inner space and applying a power source. .

由所述基板處理裝置處理的基板有半導體用晶片、LCD面板用玻璃基板、太陽能電池用基板等。 The substrates processed by the substrate processing apparatus include wafers for semiconductors, glass substrates for LCD panels, substrates for solar cells, and the like.

但是,因為在基板處理過程中在基板上面沉積的薄膜層數增加以及向基板施加高熱,按照基板上面的區域施加的壓力可有不同,結果可能出現安裝在基板支撐部的安裝面的基板邊緣位置向上側抬起的翹曲(warpage)現象。 However, due to the increase in the number of thin film layers deposited on the substrate during substrate processing and the application of high heat to the substrate, the pressure applied may vary according to the area on the substrate, and as a result, the edge position of the substrate on the mounting surface of the substrate support may occur The phenomenon of warpage that lifts upward.

因為基板在基板支撐部向上翹曲,導致在電漿製程中在基板與基板支撐部之間形成的空間出現電弧(Arc),降低了薄膜厚度的均勻度(THK uniformity),因此出現降低基板品質及生產力的問題。 Because the substrate is warped upward at the substrate support part, arcing (Arc) occurs in the space formed between the substrate and the substrate support part during the plasma process, which reduces the film thickness uniformity (THK uniformity), thus reducing the quality of the substrate. and productivity issues.

即使在累積的基板上面執行基板處理,也使用靜電夾盤利用靜電力夾住已安裝的基板來防止基板的翹曲現象,但是若使用靜電夾盤,則在基板未安裝在靜電夾盤時(諸如,交換基板時)可能因為殘留於真空腔室內部的氣體而在靜電夾盤的安裝面形成薄膜,據此弱化對於基板的夾持力,存在無法避免基板翹曲現象的問題。 Even if substrate processing is performed on top of the accumulated substrates, the mounted substrate is clamped by electrostatic force to prevent the warpage of the substrate, but if the electrostatic chuck is used, when the substrate is not mounted on the electrostatic chuck ( For example, when exchanging substrates), a thin film may be formed on the mounting surface of the electrostatic chuck due to the gas remaining in the vacuum chamber, thereby weakening the clamping force for the substrate, and there is a problem that the substrate warpage cannot be avoided.

例如,通過所述氣孔312供應到基座部310中心的吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG以第一流量通過第一連接凹槽340d及基座部310上面的第一壓花之間的空間向第一中心凹槽340c擴散,向第一中心凹槽340c擴散的吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG以第二流量通過第二連接凹槽340e及基座部310上面的第一壓花之間的空間向第二中心凹槽340b擴散,向第二中心凹槽340b擴散的吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG以第三流量通過基座部310上面的第一壓花之間的空間可向周邊凹槽340a擴散。 For example, the purging gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG supplied to the center of the base portion 310 through the air hole 312 passes through the space between the first connecting groove 340d and the first embossing on the base portion 310 at a first flow rate The purging gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG diffused toward the first central groove 340c passes through the second connecting groove 340e and the first embossing on the base portion 310 at a second flow rate. The space between them diffuses toward the second central groove 340b, and the purging gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG diffused toward the second central groove 340b passes through the space between the first embossings on the base portion 310 at a third flow rate. Diffusion toward the peripheral groove 340a.

此時,對於吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG,因為如上所述的凹槽340結構,第一流量、第二流量及第三流量具有相同的流量值,進而可引導吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG以預定的流量以放射狀從基座部310的中心區域向周邊區域均勻地擴散。 At this time, for the purging gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG, because of the groove 340 structure as described above, the first flow rate, the second flow rate and the third flow rate have the same flow value, so that the purging gas PG or the surface cleaning gas can be guided. The purge gas SCG is uniformly diffused from the central region of the base portion 310 to the peripheral region in a radial pattern at a predetermined flow rate.

再者,為了使吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG以基座部310的中心為基準以放射狀均勻地擴散,以基座部310中心為基準以放射狀等角配置的複數個第二連接凹槽340e的間隔α較佳可以是30度至60度。 Furthermore, in order to uniformly diffuse the purge gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG in a radial shape with reference to the center of the pedestal portion 310 , a plurality of second connections are arranged radially equiangularly with respect to the center of the pedestal portion 310 . The interval α of the grooves 340e may preferably be 30 degrees to 60 degrees.

另外,如圖4所示,較佳為,包括第一中心凹槽340c、第二中心凹槽340b、周邊凹槽340a的凹槽340的橫截面寬度W為2mm至4mm,深度H為50μm至100μm。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, preferably, the cross-sectional width W of the groove 340 including the first central groove 340c, the second central groove 340b, and the peripheral groove 340a is 2 mm to 4 mm, and the depth H is 50 μm to 50 μm to 4 mm. 100μm.

圖5是顯示在圖2及圖3的基板支撐部300的基座部310上面與被凸出部320支撐的基板10底面之間的空間流動的氣體(吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG)的流量的曲線圖。 5 shows the gas (purging gas PG or surface cleaning gas SCG) flowing in the space between the upper surface of the base portion 310 of the substrate support portion 300 of FIGS. 2 and 3 and the bottom surface of the substrate 10 supported by the protruding portion 320 flow graph.

如圖5的(a)及(b)所示,參照第一個設計,顯示了若通過氣孔312供應的氣體通過連接通道直接向周邊區域的周邊凹槽340a擴散,則從基座部310 的中心向周邊區域流動的氣體的流量因為基座部310的位置而發生很大的偏差。 As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 5 , referring to the first design, it is shown that if the gas supplied through the air hole 312 diffuses directly to the peripheral groove 340a of the peripheral area through the connecting channel, the gas from the base portion 310 The flow rate of the gas flowing from the center to the peripheral region greatly varies depending on the position of the base portion 310 .

另外,參照第三個設計,若第一中心凹槽340c和第二中心凹槽340b由以基座部310的中心為基準以放射狀等角配置的複數個第二連接凹槽340e連接,以及第二中心凹槽340b和周邊凹槽340a也由以基座部310的中心為基準以放射狀等角配置的複數個第二連接凹槽340e連接,則與第一個設計相同,顯示從基座部310的中心向周邊區域流動的氣體流量因為基座部310的位置而發生偏差。 In addition, referring to the third design, if the first central groove 340c and the second central groove 340b are connected by a plurality of second connecting grooves 340e arranged radially and equiangularly with respect to the center of the base portion 310, and The second central groove 340b and the peripheral groove 340a are also connected by a plurality of second connecting grooves 340e radially and equiangularly arranged with respect to the center of the base portion 310, which is the same as the first design. The flow rate of the gas flowing from the center of the seat portion 310 to the peripheral region varies depending on the position of the base portion 310 .

然而,參照與本發明一實施例的基板支撐部300類似的第二個設計和第四個設計,若第一中心凹槽340c和第二中心凹槽340b由以基座部310的中心為基準以放射狀等角配置複數個第二連接凹槽340e連接,而周邊凹槽340a未用另外的連接凹槽連接,則顯示與基座部310的位置無關地從基座部310的中心向周邊區域流動的氣體的流量都非常恒定。 However, referring to the second design and the fourth design similar to the substrate support portion 300 of an embodiment of the present invention, if the first central groove 340c and the second central groove 340b are based on the center of the base portion 310 A plurality of second connecting grooves 340e are arranged in a radial and equiangular manner to connect, and the peripheral grooves 340a are not connected by another connecting groove, which shows that the center of the base portion 310 is not connected to the periphery of the base portion 310 regardless of the position of the base portion 310. The flow rate of the gas flowing in the area is very constant.

亦即,本發明通過氣孔312將吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG供應於由基座部310上面與由凸出部320支撐的基板10底面之間,並且形成凹槽340及凸出部320,以用於在基座部310上面將吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG以預定的流量均勻地擴散到基座部310周邊區域,進而可防止在周邊區域沉積金屬薄膜,並且可防止在基板交換時或者製程之間殘留氣體沉積在基座部310上面。 That is, the present invention supplies the purge gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG between the upper surface of the base portion 310 and the bottom surface of the substrate 10 supported by the protruding portion 320 through the air hole 312 , and the groove 340 and the protruding portion 320 are formed. , so as to evenly diffuse the purge gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG on the base portion 310 to the peripheral area of the base portion 310 at a predetermined flow rate, thereby preventing the deposition of metal thin films in the peripheral area and preventing the substrate The residual gas is deposited on the base portion 310 during exchange or between processes.

因此,在累積的基板處理中保持基座部310整體均勻且良好的夾持力能夠穩定地夾持基板10,並且防止因為基板10翹曲(Warpage)導致在基板10底面出現電弧,進而可具有減少基板處理缺陷發生的效果。 Therefore, it is possible to stably hold the substrate 10 by maintaining a uniform and good holding force as a whole of the base portion 310 during the accumulated substrate processing, and to prevent arcing on the bottom surface of the substrate 10 due to warpage of the substrate 10 , thereby having The effect of reducing the occurrence of substrate processing defects.

另外,所述基板支撐部300還可包括壩部350,所述壩部350沿基座部310上面的邊緣周圍形成相同或者高於凸出部320的高度。 In addition, the substrate support portion 300 may further include a dam portion 350 , and the dam portion 350 is formed at the same height or higher than the height of the protruding portion 320 along the periphery of the upper surface of the base portion 310 .

所述壩部350作為圍繞基座部310的邊緣周圍的環形狀的壁體,在基板處理時產生防止製程氣體流入基座部310上面與基板10底面之間的作用,同時可產生引導供應到氣孔312的吹掃氣體PG或者表面清掃氣體SCG停留在基座部310上面與基板10底面之間的空間的作用。 The dam portion 350 acts as a ring-shaped wall around the periphery of the base portion 310, and prevents the process gas from flowing into the space between the upper surface of the base portion 310 and the bottom surface of the substrate 10 during substrate processing, and at the same time can guide the supply to the base portion 310. The purging gas PG or the surface cleaning gas SCG of the air hole 312 acts to stay in the space between the upper surface of the base portion 310 and the bottom surface of the substrate 10 .

以下,參照圖8及圖9,詳細說明由包括上述結構的基板處理裝置執行的基板處理方法。 Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9 , the substrate processing method performed by the substrate processing apparatus having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.

所述基板處理方法可包括:主清掃步驟,間隔地反復執行,以通過氣體噴射部200供應腔室清掃氣體CCG清掃製程腔室100整個內部;基板支撐部清掃步驟,通過基板支撐部300向基板支撐部300與被基板支撐部300支撐的基板10之間的空間供應表面清掃氣體SCG來清掃基板支撐部300。 The substrate processing method may include: a main cleaning step, which is repeatedly performed at intervals, so as to supply the chamber cleaning gas CCG through the gas injection part 200 to clean the entire interior of the process chamber 100; The space between the support portion 300 and the substrate 10 supported by the substrate support portion 300 is supplied with the surface cleaning gas SCG to clean the substrate support portion 300 .

所述主清掃步驟是多次反復執行基板處理,之後可通過氣體噴射部200供應腔室清掃氣體CCG,以清掃製程腔室100整個內部。 The main cleaning step is to repeatedly perform substrate processing for many times, and then the chamber cleaning gas CCG can be supplied through the gas injection part 200 to clean the entire interior of the process chamber 100 .

所述腔室清掃氣體CCG以被遠程電漿啟動的活性物種狀態供應到製程腔室100,或者在製程腔室100內部以原位(In-situ)方式啟動以清掃製程腔室100整個內部。 The chamber cleaning gas CCG is supplied to the process chamber 100 in an active species state activated by remote plasma, or activated in an in-situ manner inside the process chamber 100 to clean the entire interior of the process chamber 100 .

如圖6所示,所述主清掃步驟間隔預定數量地反復執行,每當累積的基板處理數量達到已設定值時執行。舉一示例,在每次累積執行6000個的基板處理時可執行一次所述主清掃步驟。 As shown in FIG. 6 , the main cleaning step is repeatedly performed at predetermined intervals, and is performed every time the accumulated number of substrate processes reaches a set value. For example, the main cleaning step may be performed once every time 6000 substrate processes are cumulatively performed.

通過所述主清掃步驟,在累積的基板處理過程中可清除在製程腔室100內部的氣體噴射部200或者腔室內側壁、基板支撐部300沉積之不必要的沉積物質。 Through the main cleaning step, unnecessary deposition substances deposited on the gas injection part 200 inside the process chamber 100 or the inner sidewall of the chamber, and the substrate support part 300 can be removed during the accumulated substrate processing.

若完成所述主清掃步驟,則可多次執行基板10的基板處理。 If the main cleaning step is completed, the substrate processing of the substrate 10 may be performed multiple times.

在基板處理步驟中,所述控制部可控制氣體供應,以在基板處理製程中通過氣體流道部330持續供應吹掃氣體PG。 In the substrate processing step, the control unit may control the gas supply, so as to continuously supply the purge gas PG through the gas flow channel unit 330 during the substrate processing process.

所述基板支撐部清掃步驟通過基板支撐部300向基板支撐部300與被基板支撐部300支撐的基板10之間的空間供應表面清掃氣體SCG以清掃基板支撐部300。 The substrate support portion cleaning step supplies the surface cleaning gas SCG to the space between the substrate support portion 300 and the substrate 10 supported by the substrate support portion 300 through the substrate support portion 300 to clean the substrate support portion 300 .

所述基板支撐部清掃步驟在主清掃步驟之間執行,或者可與主清掃步驟一同執行。 The substrate support portion cleaning step is performed between the main cleaning steps, or may be performed together with the main cleaning step.

舉一示例,如圖6及圖8所示,所述基板支撐部清掃步驟可在主清掃步驟之間執行,也可間隔數量地反復執行。 As an example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 , the cleaning step of the substrate support portion may be performed between the main cleaning steps, or may be repeatedly performed at intervals.

圖6至圖8顯示了基板支撐部清掃步驟在主清掃步驟之間間隔地執行多次的實施例,但是當然也可以實現基板支撐部清掃步驟與主清掃步驟同時執行的實施例。 FIGS. 6 to 8 show an embodiment in which the substrate support cleaning step is performed multiple times at intervals between the main cleaning steps, but of course an embodiment in which the substrate support cleaning step and the main cleaning step are performed simultaneously is also possible.

所述基板支撐部清掃步驟在導入製程腔室100被基板支撐部300夾持的基板10翹曲(wargage)程度於已設定的基準以上的情況下執行,或者可在 每個在已設定的基板處理累積數量時(例如,每次累積2000個的基板處理時)執行。 The cleaning step of the substrate support portion is performed when the warpage of the substrate 10 held by the substrate support portion 300 introduced into the process chamber 100 is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference, or may be performed at Each is executed at the set cumulative number of substrate treatments (for example, every time 2000 substrate treatments are accumulated).

在未執行所述主清掃步驟或者基板支撐部清掃步驟時,在製程腔室100中進行基板處理的基板處理步驟可累積反復執行。 When the main cleaning step or the substrate support portion cleaning step is not performed, the substrate processing steps in which the substrate processing is performed in the process chamber 100 may be cumulatively and repeatedly performed.

在所述基板處理步驟中,上述的控制部可控制吹掃氣體閥門及清掃氣體閥門的動作,以使吹掃氣體PG通過氣孔312供應到基座部310與基板10之間的空間,進而在基板處理中不在基板10底面進行基板處理。 In the substrate processing step, the above-mentioned control part can control the action of the purge gas valve and the purge gas valve, so that the purge gas PG is supplied to the space between the base part 310 and the substrate 10 through the air hole 312 , and then in the During the substrate processing, the substrate processing is not performed on the bottom surface of the substrate 10 .

在基板10未安裝基座部310時,諸如基板處理步驟之間交換基板10時,殘留於製程腔室100內的反應性氣體沉積在基座部310上面,隨著這種基板處理步驟反復執行,基座部310的夾持力變弱,需要清掃以去除基板支撐部300(尤其是基座部310)上面的薄膜。 When the base portion 310 is not mounted on the substrate 10, such as when the substrate 10 is exchanged between substrate processing steps, the reactive gas remaining in the process chamber 100 is deposited on the base portion 310, and the substrate processing steps are repeatedly performed. , the clamping force of the base portion 310 becomes weak, and cleaning is required to remove the film on the substrate support portion 300 (especially the base portion 310 ).

若到需要執行清掃基板支撐部的時間點,例如因為基座部310的夾持力變弱,基板10導入製程腔室100被基板支撐部300夾持的基板10的翹曲(wargage)程度在已設定的基準以上等,則可執行基板支撐部清掃步驟。 When it is time to perform cleaning of the substrate support portion, for example, because the clamping force of the base portion 310 is weakened, the warg of the substrate 10 that is introduced into the process chamber 100 and clamped by the substrate support portion 300 is within If it is more than the set standard, the cleaning step of the substrate support portion can be performed.

所述基板支撐部清掃步驟中,控制部可控制吹掃氣體閥門及表面清掃氣體閥門的動作,以通過氣孔312使表面清掃氣體SCG或者表面清掃氣體SCG和惰性的吹掃氣體PG一同供應到基座部310與基板10之間的空間。 In the cleaning step of the substrate support part, the control part can control the action of the purge gas valve and the surface cleaning gas valve, so that the surface cleaning gas SCG or the surface cleaning gas SCG and the inert cleaning gas PG are supplied to the substrate through the air hole 312. The space between the seat portion 310 and the substrate 10 .

更詳細地說,所述基板支撐部清掃步驟可包括:向製程腔室100導入虛擬基板的虛擬基板導入步驟S901;基板支撐部300夾持虛擬基板的虛擬基板夾持步驟S902;向基板支撐部300上面與虛擬基板之間的空間供應表面清掃氣體SCG的清掃氣體供應步驟S903。 In more detail, the cleaning step of the substrate support portion may include: a dummy substrate introduction step S901 for introducing a dummy substrate into the process chamber 100 ; a dummy substrate clamping step S902 for the substrate support portion 300 to clamp the dummy substrate; 300 Step S903 of supplying the cleaning gas of the surface cleaning gas SCG to the space between the upper surface and the dummy substrate.

所述虛擬基板結構與上述的基板10相同,可以是在基板支撐部清掃步驟中使用的清掃用基板。 The dummy substrate has the same structure as the substrate 10 described above, and may be a substrate for cleaning used in the step of cleaning the substrate support portion.

亦即,所述基板支撐部清掃步驟可在基板支撐部300夾持虛擬基板10的狀態下執行,以使基板支撐部300上面與虛擬基板之間的空間中的表面清掃氣體SCG可有效地從基板支撐部300的中央向外側擴散。 That is, the substrate supporting portion cleaning step may be performed in a state in which the substrate supporting portion 300 clamps the dummy substrate 10, so that the surface cleaning gas SCG in the space between the upper surface of the substrate supporting portion 300 and the dummy substrate can be effectively removed from the substrate supporting portion 300. The center of the substrate support portion 300 spreads outward.

所述清掃氣體供應步驟可將惰性的吹掃氣體PG與表面清掃氣體SCG一同供應到基板支撐部300上面,更詳細地說可供應到基座部310上面與虛擬基板之間的空間。 The purge gas supply step may supply the inert purge gas PG together with the surface purge gas SCG to the upper surface of the substrate support portion 300 , more specifically, to the space between the upper surface of the base portion 310 and the dummy substrate.

向所述基座部310上面與虛擬基板之間的空間供應的表面清掃氣體SCG在去除基座部310上面的薄膜之後與副產物一同向製程腔室100外側排放,而虛擬基板從製程腔室100排出S904,進而可完成基板支撐部清掃步驟。 The surface cleaning gas SCG supplied to the space between the upper surface of the susceptor 310 and the dummy substrate is discharged to the outside of the process chamber 100 together with by-products after the film on the susceptor 310 is removed, and the dummy substrate is discharged from the process chamber 100 discharges S904, and then the cleaning step of the substrate support portion can be completed.

所述基板支撐部清掃步驟只對與基板支撐部300上面相對應的非常小的區域執行清掃,因此如圖6所示,與需要一天左右的時間的主清掃步驟不同,只執行30分鐘左右的非常短的時間也可得到充分的效果。 The cleaning step of the substrate support part is performed only on a very small area corresponding to the upper surface of the substrate support part 300, so as shown in FIG. 6, unlike the main cleaning step which takes about a day, only about 30 minutes is performed A sufficient effect can be obtained in a very short period of time.

本發明在除了清掃整個製程腔室100的主清掃步驟以外,在主清掃步驟之間將在短時間的時間間隔期間去除沉積在基板支撐部300上面的薄膜的基板支撐部清掃步驟執行一次以上,進而即使有增加累積的基板處理次數,也能夠持續保持基板支撐部300對基板10的良好的夾持力,因此具有可防止引起電弧或者基板處理缺陷的基板翹曲現象(Warpage)的優點。 In the present invention, in addition to the main cleaning step of cleaning the entire process chamber 100, the substrate support cleaning step of removing the film deposited on the substrate support 300 during short time intervals is performed more than once between the main cleaning steps, Furthermore, even if the accumulated number of substrate processing times is increased, the good clamping force of the substrate support portion 300 to the substrate 10 can be continuously maintained, so there is an advantage that the substrate warpage phenomenon (warpage) that causes arcing or substrate processing defects can be prevented.

另外,本發明在製程腔室100的主清掃步驟之間還針對基板支撐部300表面執行基板支撐部清掃步驟,進而也具有可將對執行主清掃步驟的清掃週期的利用最大化的優點。 In addition, the present invention also performs the substrate support portion cleaning step on the surface of the substrate support portion 300 between the main cleaning steps of the process chamber 100 , thereby maximizing the utilization of the cleaning cycle for performing the main cleaning step.

例如,假設在以往對400個的基板10反復執行基板處理之後定期進行主清掃時,由於本發明包括基板支撐部清掃步驟,因此即使定期執行400個以上(例如,600個)的基板處理,也可得到充分的清掃效果。 For example, if the conventional main cleaning is performed periodically after the substrate processing is repeatedly performed on 400 substrates 10, since the present invention includes the substrate support portion cleaning step, even if 400 or more (for example, 600) substrate processings are periodically performed, the A sufficient cleaning effect can be obtained.

亦即,本發明對執行所需時間長的主清掃的利用最大化,進而可提高基板處理裝置的產量。 That is, the present invention maximizes the utilization of the main cleaning that takes a long time to perform, thereby improving the throughput of the substrate processing apparatus.

以上僅是說明了可由本發明實現的較佳實施例的一部分,眾所周知本發明的範圍不被上述的實施例限定地解釋,以上說明的本發明的技術思想及其根本的技術思想應全部包括在本發明的範圍內。 The above is only a part of the preferred embodiments that can be realized by the present invention.
