Description

晶圓承載固定機構及應用該晶圓承載固定機構的薄膜沉積設 備 Wafer carrying and fixing mechanism and thin film deposition device using the wafer carrying and fixing mechanism prepare

本發明有關於一種晶圓承載固定機構,用以將晶圓固定在承載盤上,並可減少製程氣體或靶材原子污染腔體。 The invention relates to a wafer carrying and fixing mechanism, which is used to fix the wafer on the carrying plate, and can reduce process gas or target material atoms from polluting the cavity.

化學氣相沉積(CVD)、物理氣相沉積(PVD)及原子層沉積(ALD)皆是常用的薄膜沉積設備,並普遍被使用在積體電路、發光二極體及顯示器等製程中。 Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) are commonly used thin film deposition equipment, and are widely used in the manufacturing processes of integrated circuits, light-emitting diodes and displays.

沉積的設備主要包括一腔體及一承載盤,其中承載盤位於腔體內,並用以承載至少一晶圓。以物理氣相沉積為例,腔體內需要設置一靶材,其中靶材面對承載盤上的晶圓。在進行物理氣相沉積時,會透過固定裝置將晶圓固定在承載盤上,並將惰性氣體及/或反應氣體輸送至腔體內,分別對靶材及承載盤施加偏壓,其中承載盤還會加熱承載的晶圓。腔體內的惰性氣體會因為高壓電場的作用,形成離子化的惰性氣體。離子化的惰性氣體會受到靶材上的偏壓吸引而轟擊靶材。從靶材濺出的靶材原子或分子會受到承載盤上的偏壓吸引,並沉積在加熱的晶圓的表面,以在晶圓的表面形成薄膜。 The deposition equipment mainly includes a cavity and a carrier plate, wherein the carrier plate is located in the cavity and is used to carry at least one wafer. Taking physical vapor deposition as an example, a target needs to be set in the chamber, wherein the target faces the wafer on the carrier. During physical vapor deposition, the wafer will be fixed on the carrier plate through the fixing device, and the inert gas and/or reaction gas will be transported into the chamber, and the bias voltage will be applied to the target material and the carrier plate respectively. The loaded wafer is heated. The inert gas in the chamber will form an ionized inert gas due to the action of the high-voltage electric field. The ionized noble gas is attracted by the bias voltage on the target and bombards the target. Target atoms or molecules sputtered from the target are attracted by the bias voltage on the susceptor plate and deposited on the surface of the heated wafer to form a thin film on the surface of the wafer.

此外在進行物理氣相沉積製程時,承載盤可相對於靶材位移,並改變承載盤承載的晶圓與靶材之間的距離,以調整沉積製程的參數。 In addition, during the physical vapor deposition process, the carrier plate can be displaced relative to the target material, and the distance between the wafer carried by the carrier plate and the target material can be changed to adjust the parameters of the deposition process.

如先前技術所述,習用的薄膜沉積設備雖然可以透過調整承載盤與靶材之間的距離,改變沉積製程的參數。然而習用的薄膜沉積設備的承載盤與靶材之間的距離可調整幅度很小,當承載盤朝靶材的方向位移時,可能會造成製程氣體及/或靶材原子及/或靶材分子傳遞至腔體,並在腔體的內表面形成薄膜沉積,進而對腔體造成汙染。為此本發明提出一種新穎的晶圓承載固定機構及應用該晶圓承載固定機構的薄膜沉積設備,可增加承載盤與靶材之間距離的可調整幅度,並可減少製程氣體及/或靶材原子及/或靶材分子進入腔體。 As mentioned in the prior art, conventional thin film deposition equipment can change the parameters of the deposition process by adjusting the distance between the carrier plate and the target. However, the distance between the carrier plate and the target of the conventional thin film deposition equipment can be adjusted very little. When the carrier plate moves towards the target, it may cause the process gas and/or target atoms and/or target molecules Transfer to the cavity, and form film deposits on the inner surface of the cavity, thereby polluting the cavity. For this reason, the present invention proposes a novel wafer carrying and fixing mechanism and film deposition equipment using the wafer carrying and fixing mechanism, which can increase the adjustable range of the distance between the carrying plate and the target, and can reduce the process gas and/or target. material atoms and/or target molecules enter the cavity.

本發明的一目的,在於提出一種晶圓承載固定機構及薄膜沉積設備,主要包括一承載盤、一蓋環及一擋件,其中承載盤用以承載至少一晶圓。擋件用以承載蓋環,當承載盤帶動承載的晶圓朝蓋環的方向靠近時蓋環會接觸晶圓,以將晶圓固定在承載盤上,並於擋件、蓋環、承載盤及/或腔體之間形成一反應空間。 An object of the present invention is to provide a wafer carrying and fixing mechanism and thin film deposition equipment, which mainly include a carrying plate, a cover ring and a stopper, wherein the carrying plate is used to carry at least one wafer. The stopper is used to carry the cover ring. When the carrying plate drives the carried wafer towards the direction of the cover ring, the cover ring will contact the wafer to fix the wafer on the support plate. And/or a reaction space is formed between the cavities.

本發明的蓋環的側邊與擋件之間的間距小於10毫米,以提高蓋環及擋件對腔體的遮擋效果,可避免反應空間內的反應氣體、靶材原子及/或靶材分子接觸蓋環及/或擋件外部的腔體,以減少腔體內表面上的薄膜沉積。 The distance between the side of the cover ring and the stopper of the present invention is less than 10 mm, so as to improve the shielding effect of the cover ring and the stopper on the cavity, and avoid reaction gas, target atoms and/or target materials in the reaction space Molecules contact the cavity outside the cover ring and/or the barrier to reduce film deposition on the inner surfaces of the cavity.

此外承載盤可帶動承載的晶圓及蓋環繼續往靶材的方向靠近,使得蓋環離開擋件,以進一步縮短晶圓與靶材之間的距離。由於本發明的蓋 環與擋件之間的間距較小,即便蓋環離開擋件,蓋環及擋件仍可提供良好的遮擋效果,可避免反應空間內的反應氣體、靶材原子及/或靶材分子傳遞至蓋環及/或擋件外側的腔體。 In addition, the carrying plate can drive the carried wafer and the cover ring to continue to approach the target, so that the cover ring leaves the stopper, so as to further shorten the distance between the wafer and the target. Due to the cover of the present invention The distance between the ring and the baffle is small, even if the cover ring is away from the baffle, the cover ring and the baffle can still provide a good shielding effect, which can avoid the transfer of reaction gas, target atoms and/or target molecules in the reaction space to the cavity outside the cover ring and/or stopper.

本發明的一目的,在於提出一種晶圓承載固定機構及薄膜沉積設備,其中蓋環包括一第一蓋環及一第二蓋環,且第一蓋環的半徑大於第二蓋環,並用以承載第二蓋環。當承載盤與蓋環接觸時,只有第二蓋環會接觸承載盤上的晶圓,而承載盤則用以承載第一蓋環。透過第一蓋環及第二蓋環的設計可減少蓋環施加在晶圓上的壓力,並降低晶圓被蓋環壓碎的機率。 An object of the present invention is to provide a wafer carrying and fixing mechanism and thin film deposition equipment, wherein the cover ring includes a first cover ring and a second cover ring, and the radius of the first cover ring is larger than that of the second cover ring, and is used for Carries the second cover ring.

在本發明一實施例中,薄膜沉積設備100可以是物理氣相沉積裝置,並於腔體17內設置一靶材19,其中靶材19面對承載盤11及/或晶圓12。腔體17上可設置至少一進氣口,其中進氣口流體連接腔體17的容置空間14,並用以將一製程氣體輸送至容置空間14內,以進行沉積製程,例如製程氣體可以是惰性氣體或反應氣體。此外亦可於腔體17上設置一抽氣口,並透過幫浦經由抽氣口將腔體17內的氣體抽出,使得容置空間14為低壓或真空。 In an embodiment of the present invention, the thin film deposition apparatus 100 may be a physical vapor deposition device, and a target 19 is disposed in the chamber 17 , wherein the target 19 faces the carrier plate 11 and/or the wafer 12 . At least one gas inlet can be provided on the cavity 17, wherein the gas inlet is fluidly connected to the accommodating space 14 of the cavity 17, and is used to deliver a process gas into the accommodating space 14 to perform a deposition process. For example, the process gas can be Is an inert gas or reactive gas. In addition, a gas extraction port can also be provided on the cavity body 17, and the gas in the cavity body 17 can be sucked out through the pump through the gas suction port, so that the accommodating space 14 is under low pressure or vacuum.

如圖3所示,承載盤11可帶動承載的晶圓12朝蓋環15、擋件13及/或靶材19的方向位移,使得承載盤11位於擋件13的開口132內,其中蓋環15的主體部151接觸承載盤11上的晶圓12,以將晶圓12固定在承載盤11上。此時承載盤11、蓋環15、擋件13及腔體17會在容置空間14內定義一反應空間141,並對反應空間141內的晶圓12表面進行薄膜沉積。反應空間141基本上為容置空間14內的隔離空間,其中反應空間141內的反應氣體、靶材原子及/或靶材分子不會接觸擋件13外部的腔體17,以避免在腔體17的表面沉積薄膜,進而造成腔體17的汙染。 As shown in FIG. 3 , the carrying tray 11 can drive the carried wafer 12 to displace in the direction of the cover ring 15, the stopper 13 and/or the target 19, so that the carrying tray 11 is located in the opening 132 of the stopper 13, wherein the cover ring The main body 151 of 15 contacts the wafer 12 on the susceptor 11 to fix the wafer 12 on the susceptor 11 . At this time, the carrier plate 11 , the cover ring 15 , the stopper 13 and the cavity 17 define a reaction space 141 in the accommodating space 14 , and film deposition is performed on the surface of the wafer 12 in the reaction space 141 . The reaction space 141 is basically an isolated space in the accommodating space 14, wherein the reaction gas, target atoms and/or target molecules in the reaction space 141 will not contact the cavity 17 outside the barrier 13, so as to avoid the A thin film is deposited on the surface of the cavity 17, thereby causing pollution of the cavity 17.

如圖4及圖5所示,為於擋件13的開口132內的承載盤11可繼續帶動承載的晶圓12朝靶材19的方向位移,以縮短靶材19與承載盤11承載的晶圓12之間的距離。此時承載盤11亦會承載蓋環15,並帶動蓋環15離開擋件13。 As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the carrying plate 11 in the opening 132 of the stopper 13 can continue to drive the carried wafer 12 to move toward the direction of the target material 19, so as to shorten the target material 19 and the wafer carried by the carrying plate 11. The distance between circles 12. At this time, the supporting plate 11 also carries the cover ring 15 and drives the cover ring 15 away from the stopper 13 .

由於本發明的蓋環15的遮擋部153與擋件13的側壁131之間的間隙小於10毫米,因此即便承載盤11帶動蓋環15離開擋件13,仍可避免反應空間141內的反應氣體、靶材原子及/或靶材分子進入擋件13外部的容置空間14。 Since the gap between the shielding portion 153 of the cover ring 15 and the side wall 131 of the stopper 13 of the present invention is less than 10 mm, even if the carrier plate 11 drives the cover ring 15 away from the stopper 13, the reaction gas in the reaction space 141 can still be avoided. , target atoms and/or target molecules enter the accommodating space 14 outside the blocking member 13 .

具體而言,透過本發明所述的薄膜沉積設備100,可避免在腔體17的內表面形成沉積薄膜的情況下,增加承載盤11承載的晶圓12與靶材19之間距離的可調整範圍。如此一來將可以依據沉積製程的需求,調整晶圓12與靶材19的距離,以提高沉積在晶圓12表面的薄膜均勻度。 Specifically, through the thin film deposition equipment 100 of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the formation of a deposited film on the inner surface of the cavity 17, increasing the adjustable distance between the wafer 12 carried by the carrier plate 11 and the target 19. scope. In this way, the distance between the wafer 12 and the target 19 can be adjusted according to the requirements of the deposition process, so as to improve the uniformity of the film deposited on the surface of the wafer 12 .

相較之下,一般的沉積腔體的承載盤11承載的晶圓12與靶材19之間距離的可調整範圍則較小,若欲縮小承載盤11與靶材19之間的間距, 往往會造成蓋環15與擋件13之間產生過大的空隙,導致反應空間141內的反應氣體、靶材原子及/或靶材分子進入擋件13外部的容置空間14,進而在腔體17的內表面形成薄膜沉積。 In contrast, the adjustable range of the distance between the wafer 12 and the target material 19 carried by the carrier plate 11 of the general deposition chamber is small. If the distance between the carrier plate 11 and the target material 19 is to be reduced, It often causes an excessively large gap between the cover ring 15 and the stopper 13, causing the reaction gas, target atoms and/or target molecules in the reaction space 141 to enter the accommodation space 14 outside the stopper 13, and then in the cavity The inner surface of 17 forms a thin film deposition.

此外,本發明的蓋環15的遮擋部153與擋件13的側壁131之間的間隙會大於3毫米,以避免蓋環15與擋件13電性導通,並防止蓋環15的遮擋部153接觸或摩擦擋件13的側壁131,而產生微粒子的汙染。 In addition, the gap between the shielding portion 153 of the cover ring 15 and the side wall 131 of the stopper 13 of the present invention is greater than 3 millimeters to avoid electrical conduction between the cover ring 15 and the stopper 13 and to prevent the shielding portion 153 of the cover ring 15 from The sidewall 131 of the blocking member 13 is contacted or rubbed to generate particulate pollution.

在本發明一實施例中,如圖1所示,蓋環15與承載盤11之間可分別設置一對應的對位單元,例如在蓋環15的下表面設置一凸出部155,並在承載盤11上設置一凹部113,其中凸出部155與凹部113之間具有對應的斜面。當承載盤11朝蓋環15靠近時,蓋環15的凸出部155會接觸承載盤11的凹部113,並對位蓋環15及承載盤11。 In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 , a corresponding alignment unit can be provided between the cover ring 15 and the carrier plate 11, for example, a protrusion 155 is provided on the lower surface of the cover ring 15, and A concave portion 113 is disposed on the carrier plate 11 , wherein there is a corresponding slope between the protruding portion 155 and the concave portion 113 .

升降單元161連接承載構件163及承載盤11,並用以帶動承載構件163相對於承載盤11位移,例如升降單元161可相對於承載盤11的承載面111伸長,並帶動承載構件163離開承載盤11,以透過承載構件163帶動晶圓12離開承載盤11的承載面111,有利於透過機械手臂拿取晶圓12。 The lifting unit 161 connects the carrying member 163 and the carrying plate 11, and is used to drive the carrying member 163 to move relative to the carrying plate 11. For example, the lifting unit 161 can be extended relative to the carrying surface 111 of the carrying plate 11, and drives the carrying member 163 to leave the carrying plate 11 , so as to drive the wafer 12 away from the carrying surface 111 of the carrying tray 11 through the carrying member 163 , which is beneficial to take the wafer 12 through the robot arm.

在本發明另一實施例中,升降單元161連接承載盤11,並位於承載盤11承載的晶圓12下方。升降單元161可相對於承載盤11的承載面111伸長,並帶動晶圓12離開承載盤11的承載面111,如此一來便不需要設置承載構件163。 In another embodiment of the present invention, the lifting unit 161 is connected to the susceptor 11 and located below the wafer 12 carried by the susceptor 11 . The lifting unit 161 can be extended relative to the carrying surface 111 of the carrying tray 11 and drive the wafer 12 away from the carrying surface 111 of the carrying tray 11 , so that the carrying member 163 is not required.

如圖5所示,蓋環15可包括一第一蓋環157及第二蓋環159,第一蓋環157及第二蓋環159的俯視形狀為環形,其中第一蓋環157的最大周長及/或最大半徑大於第二蓋環159的最大周長及/或最大半徑。第二蓋環159位於第一蓋環157的上方,並以第一蓋環157承載第二蓋環159。當承載盤11朝第一蓋環157及/或第二蓋環159位移時,第二蓋環159會接觸承載盤11承載的晶圓12的邊緣,並將晶圓12固定在承載盤11的承載面111。 As shown in Figure 5, the cover ring 15 can include a first cover ring 157 and a second cover ring 159, the top view shapes of the first cover ring 157 and the second cover ring 159 are ring-shaped, wherein the largest circumference of the first cover ring 157 The length and/or maximum radius are greater than the maximum circumference and/or maximum radius of the second cover ring 159 . The second cover ring 159 is located above the first cover ring 157 , and the second cover ring 159 is supported by the first cover ring 157 . When the carrier tray 11 is displaced toward the first cover ring 157 and/or the second cover ring 159, the second cover ring 159 will contact the edge of the wafer 12 carried by the carrier tray 11 and fix the wafer 12 on the carrier tray 11. Bearing surface 111 .

在實際應用時,可將第二蓋環159放置在第一蓋環157上,並透過第二蓋環159將尺寸較小的晶圓12固定在承載盤11上。此外,亦可將第二蓋環159由第一蓋環157上取下,並透過第一蓋環157將尺寸較大的晶圓12固定在承載盤11上。在以第一蓋環157將較大尺寸的晶圓12固定在承載盤11時,有可能需要更換承載盤11或在承載盤11上配置額外的構件。第一蓋環157及第二蓋環159之間可分別設置一對應的對位單元,並透對對位單元對位第一蓋環157及第二蓋環159。 In actual application, the second cover ring 159 can be placed on the first cover ring 157 , and the wafer 12 with a smaller size can be fixed on the susceptor 11 through the second cover ring 159 . In addition, the second cover ring 159 can also be removed from the first cover ring 157 , and the wafer 12 with a larger size can be fixed on the susceptor 11 through the first cover ring 157 . When the wafer 12 with a larger size is fixed on the susceptor 11 by the first cover ring 157 , it may be necessary to replace the susceptor 11 or configure additional components on the susceptor 11 . A corresponding alignment unit can be provided between the first cover ring 157 and the second cover ring 159 respectively, and the first cover ring 157 and the second cover ring 159 can be aligned through the alignment unit.

由於本發明相較於先前技術而言,蓋環15的長度、面積及重量可能較大,並會增加蓋環15施加給晶圓12的壓力,進而提高晶圓12破碎的機 率。當蓋環15包括第一蓋環157及第二蓋環159時,可透過承載盤11承載第一蓋環157的重量,透過第二蓋環159接觸並將晶圓12固定在承載盤11上,可減少蓋環15施加在晶圓12上的壓力,降低晶圓12碎裂的機率。 Compared with the prior art, the present invention may have larger length, area and weight of the cover ring 15, which will increase the pressure applied to the wafer 12 by the cover ring 15, thereby improving the chance of breaking the wafer 12. Rate. When the cover ring 15 includes the first cover ring 157 and the second cover ring 159, the weight of the first cover ring 157 can be carried through the carrier plate 11, and the wafer 12 can be fixed on the carrier plate 11 through the second cover ring 159. , can reduce the pressure exerted by the cover ring 15 on the wafer 12 , and reduce the probability of the wafer 12 breaking.

如圖6所示,蓋環15的遮擋部153包括一第一凸起部1531,其中第一凸起部1531朝擋件13的環形底部133的方向凸起。如圖7所示,蓋環的遮擋部153包括一凸起部1535,其中凸起部1535朝遠離擋件13的環形底部133的方向凸起。 As shown in FIG. 6 , the shielding portion 153 of the cover ring 15 includes a first protrusion 1531 , wherein the first protrusion 1531 protrudes toward the annular bottom 133 of the blocking member 13 . As shown in FIG. 7 , the shielding portion 153 of the cover ring includes a protruding portion 1535 , wherein the protruding portion 1535 protrudes away from the annular bottom portion 133 of the blocking member 13 .

由於本發明所述的蓋環15可提供良好的遮蔽效果,因此可進一步縮短擋件13的環形凸部135與遮擋部153的第一凸起部1531的高度,以在不影響蓋環15及擋件13對腔體17的遮蔽效果的情況下,增加承載盤11承載的晶圓12與靶材19之間的可調整距離,例如可在蓋環15的主體部151仍接觸晶圓12的前提下,增加晶圓12與靶材19之間的距離。 Since the cover ring 15 of the present invention can provide a good shielding effect, the heights of the annular convex portion 135 of the blocking member 13 and the first raised portion 1531 of the shielding portion 153 can be further shortened so as not to affect the cover ring 15 and In the case of the shielding effect of the stopper 13 on the cavity 17, the adjustable distance between the wafer 12 carried by the susceptor 11 and the target 19 is increased, for example, the main body 151 of the cover ring 15 can still contact the wafer 12. On the premise, the distance between the wafer 12 and the target 19 is increased.

以上所述者,僅為本發明之一較佳實施例而已,並非用來限定本發明實施之範圍,即凡依本發明申請專利範圍所述之形狀、構造、特徵及精神所為之均等變化與修飾,均應包括於本發明之申請專利範圍內。 The above is only one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not used to limit the scope of the present invention, that is, all changes and equal changes made according to the shape, structure, characteristics and spirit described in the patent scope of the present invention Modifications should be included in the patent application scope of the present invention.
