Description
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.

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
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
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
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
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
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.
