Description

改善等離子體蝕刻速率的處理方法、零部件、氣體噴淋頭及等離子體處理装置Processing method, components, gas shower head and plasma processing device for improving plasma etching rate

本發明涉及等離子體蝕刻的技術領域,尤其涉及一種改善等離子體蝕刻速率的處理方法、零部件、氣體噴淋頭及等離子體處理裝置。The present invention relates to the technical field of plasma etching, and in particular to a processing method, components, gas shower head and plasma processing device for improving plasma etching rate.

蝕刻腔體中微顆粒的污染是晶片生產中的重要議題。嚴重的腔體污染會造成積體電路的短路及阻擋蝕刻(block etch)等。因此,隨著特徵尺寸的持續縮小,蝕刻腔體中微顆粒(particle,簡稱PA)的數量和尺寸的控制也越來越嚴格。例如,在0.11~0.13μm 時代,蝕刻腔體檢測0.16μm以上的微顆粒,即可保證蝕刻晶片的安全。但是當到了10nm的技術節點,必須監控小於0.045μm的微顆粒的數目。Microparticle contamination in the etching chamber is an important issue in wafer production. Severe cavity contamination can cause short circuits and block etch of integrated circuits. Therefore, as feature sizes continue to shrink, the number and size of particles (PA for short) in the etching cavity are increasingly controlled. For example, in the 0.11~0.13μm era, the etching chamber can detect microparticles above 0.16μm to ensure the safety of etched wafers. But when reaching the 10nm technology node, the number of microparticles smaller than 0.045μm must be monitored.

對於微顆粒的來源,主要有兩個:一方面是蝕刻過程中產生的含碳副產物。對於有機掩膜層材料的蝕刻,主要的氣體為NH 3, N 2/H 2等。在蝕刻過程中,部分碳氮聚合物會沉積在腔體壁上,包括上電極和晶圓周邊的區域。另一方面,由於等離子體內有高活性的自由基和高能量的離子, 會造成腔體材料尤其是上電極氣體噴淋頭(showerhead,簡稱SH)的改制。這種改制會造成上電極Y 2O 3材料的腐蝕,從而形成PA 的源頭。同時這種改制也造成氣體噴淋頭壽命的減少,拉高了COC(cost of consumable,耗材成本)。 There are two main sources of microparticles: on the one hand, they are carbon-containing by-products produced during the etching process. For the etching of organic mask layer materials, the main gases are NH 3 , N 2 /H 2 , etc. During the etching process, part of the carbonitride polymer will be deposited on the cavity wall, including the upper electrode and the area around the wafer. On the other hand, since there are highly active free radicals and high-energy ions in the plasma, the cavity materials, especially the upper electrode gas showerhead (SH), will be modified. This modification will cause corrosion of the Y 2 O 3 material of the upper electrode, thus forming the source of PA. At the same time, this modification also reduces the life of the gas sprinkler head and increases the COC (cost of consumable, consumable cost).

為了減少顆粒污染,可以在反應腔裡的元件表面鍍膜,鍍膜雖然隔絕了等離子體與保護層的直接接觸,但是其表面形貌卻因為吸附反應氣體的粒子而對蝕刻速率產生了不穩定的影響。In order to reduce particle contamination, a film can be coated on the surface of the components in the reaction chamber. Although the coating isolates the direct contact between the plasma and the protective layer, its surface morphology has an unstable impact on the etching rate due to the adsorption of reaction gas particles. .

為使本發明實施例的目的、技術方案和優點更加清楚,下面將結合本發明實施例中的附圖,對本發明實施例中的技術方案進行清楚、完整地描述,顯然,所描述的實施例是本發明一部分實施例,而不是全部的實施例。基於本發明中的實施例,本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者在沒有做出具進步性改變前提下所獲得的所有其他實施例,都屬於本發明保護的範圍。In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments These are some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those with ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs without making any progressive changes shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

為了防止等離子體對真空反應腔內部件的腐蝕而產生污染物,一種解決方案是在真空反應腔內通入氨氣(NH 3)和氬氣(Ar)的混合氣體對部件表面進行陳化處理,以形成一層矽鍍層,但這種鍍膜因為表面鬆散結構的原因,會對蝕刻速率的穩定性產生影響,如圖1所示,在有機蝕刻中,針對含氫(H)製程,對每個基片在反應時間內持續的記錄蝕刻速率點,從圖中可以看出,對於單個基片,蝕刻速率在從高到低波動,而通過(1)和(2)兩組實驗資料都顯示出了隨著蝕刻基片數量的增加,蝕刻速率的變化趨勢在不斷降低。而對於在有機蝕刻中,針對含碳(C)製程,如圖2所示通過四組實驗資料,顯示出了隨著蝕刻基片數量的增加,蝕刻速率從較低的值逐漸上升最後區域穩定的現象。不管以上有機蝕刻的哪種製程,都造成了基片蝕刻均一性的破壞,在批量生產中製程參數的波動。 In order to prevent plasma from corroding components in the vacuum reaction chamber and causing contaminants, one solution is to introduce a mixed gas of ammonia (NH 3 ) and argon (Ar) into the vacuum reaction chamber to age the surface of the components. , to form a layer of silicon coating, but this coating will have an impact on the stability of the etching rate due to the loose structure of the surface, as shown in Figure 1. In organic etching, for the hydrogen (H) process, each The substrate continuously records the etching rate points during the reaction time. It can be seen from the figure that for a single substrate, the etching rate fluctuates from high to low, and both sets of experimental data (1) and (2) show that It shows that as the number of etched substrates increases, the change trend of the etching rate continues to decrease. For organic etching, for the carbon (C) process, as shown in Figure 2, four sets of experimental data show that as the number of etched substrates increases, the etching rate gradually increases from a lower value to a stable region. phenomenon. No matter which of the above organic etching processes is used, it will cause damage to the uniformity of substrate etching and cause fluctuations in process parameters during mass production.

具體原因可以結合圖3進行解釋,以部件是噴淋頭為例,針對含H製程,因為形成含矽(Si)鍍層表面緻密性低,導致其表面易於吸附足夠多的H,進而對後續的有機蝕刻產生了較高的蝕刻速率,隨著H的消耗,則蝕刻速率便逐漸下降趨於穩定。而對於含C製程,則同樣因為噴淋頭的表面低緻密性易於吸附足夠多的C,進而對後續的有機蝕刻產生了滯緩作用,隨著C的消耗,則蝕刻速率逐漸升高後趨於穩定。The specific reason can be explained in conjunction with Figure 3. Taking the component as a shower head as an example, for the H-containing process, because the surface of the silicon (Si)-containing coating is low in density, the surface is easy to absorb enough H, which in turn affects subsequent processes. Organic etching produces a higher etching rate. As H is consumed, the etching rate gradually decreases and stabilizes. For the C-containing process, the low density of the surface of the shower head is easy to adsorb enough C, which in turn has a retarding effect on subsequent organic etching. With the consumption of C, the etching rate gradually increases and then tends to to stability.

實施例一Embodiment 1

如圖4所示,本發明的改善等離子體蝕刻速率的處理方法,包括如下步驟: S1,將矽晶圓經過熱氧化處理,以在其表面形成緻密度較高的二氧化矽層,再將該襯底放入等離子體處理裝置中; S2,將含有保護層的氣體噴淋頭放入所述等離子體處理裝置中,保護層可以是氧化釔(Y 2O 3)塗層或氧化鋁/碳化矽(Al 2O 3/SiC)塗層,以提高氣體噴淋頭的耐腐蝕能力; S3,通入有機蝕刻氣體作為反應氣體,向真空反應腔施加一射頻訊號,將所述反應氣體激發為等離子體,將緻密性較高的二氧化矽轟擊下來覆蓋到氣體噴淋頭表面; S4,使用完成上述步驟的等離子體處理裝置進行有機蝕刻製程。 As shown in Figure 4, the processing method for improving the plasma etching rate of the present invention includes the following steps: S1, thermally oxidize the silicon wafer to form a denser silicon dioxide layer on its surface, and then The substrate is placed into the plasma processing device; S2, the gas shower head containing the protective layer is placed into the plasma processing device. The protective layer can be a yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ) coating or aluminum oxide/ Silicon carbide (Al 2 O 3 /SiC) coating to improve the corrosion resistance of the gas shower head; S3, introduce organic etching gas as the reactive gas, apply a radio frequency signal to the vacuum reaction chamber, and excite the reactive gas For plasma, the denser silicon dioxide is bombarded to cover the surface of the gas shower head; S4, use the plasma processing device that has completed the above steps to perform the organic etching process.

經過高緻密性矽薄膜的覆蓋後,氣體噴淋頭可以避免對H或C的吸附,且能隔絕等離子體對保護層的直接腐蝕,也即減少了污染物的形成。After being covered with a high-density silicon film, the gas shower head can avoid the adsorption of H or C, and can isolate the plasma from direct corrosion of the protective layer, which means reducing the formation of pollutants.

在一些實施例中,該處理方法在暖機過程中進行,尤其是在等離子體處理裝置長時間停機,進行高偏壓清洗後,可以運行上述步驟,也可以在多次反應後檢測到污染物增加或者反應速率產生較大波動時,重複上述步驟。In some embodiments, the treatment method is performed during the warm-up process, especially after the plasma treatment device is shut down for a long time and high-bias cleaning is performed. The above steps can be run, or contaminants can be detected after multiple reactions. When the reaction rate increases or the reaction rate fluctuates greatly, repeat the above steps.

在另一些實施例中,對矽晶圓的熱氧化處理是在爐管製程中進行的,將矽晶圓置於溫度大於800℃中,通入氫氣(H 2)和氧氣(O 2),即濕法氧化,H 2和O 2的流量比在1:4-4:1之間,尤其可以選擇10:7-13:10的流量比,H 2和O 2在高溫條件下,產生水蒸氣,跟矽晶圓的表面反應產生緻密性較高的熱二氧化矽,H 2氣可以提高二氧化矽之間的應力,而應力高伴隨著高緻密性,但是過高的應力也會導致膜的性質易斷裂產生剝離,影響污染物的含量。在使用等離子體對矽晶圓進行轟擊時,優選使等離子體的溫度小於130℃,控制在噴淋頭表面形成的高緻密性矽薄膜厚度小於30nm,較小的厚度可以降低高緻密性矽薄膜表面分子所受的應力,不容易脫落,也即不會成為顆粒污染源。 In other embodiments, the thermal oxidation treatment of the silicon wafer is performed in a furnace tube process. The silicon wafer is placed at a temperature greater than 800°C, and hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) are introduced, That is, wet oxidation, the flow ratio of H 2 and O 2 is between 1:4-4:1, especially the flow ratio of 10:7-13:10 can be selected. H 2 and O 2 produce water under high temperature conditions. Steam reacts with the surface of the silicon wafer to produce hot silicon dioxide with higher density. H 2 gas can increase the stress between silicon dioxide. High stress is accompanied by high density, but too high stress can also cause The nature of the membrane is prone to breakage and peeling, which affects the content of pollutants. When using plasma to bombard a silicon wafer, it is preferred to keep the temperature of the plasma less than 130°C, and control the thickness of the high-density silicon film formed on the surface of the shower head to less than 30nm. A smaller thickness can reduce the density of the high-density silicon film. The stress on the surface molecules prevents them from falling off easily, which means they will not become a source of particle pollution.

實施例二Embodiment 2

如圖5所示,本發明的改善等離子體蝕刻速率的處理方法,與實施例一的區別在於,在放入熱氧化後的矽晶圓系列步驟之前,先放入未氧化的一般矽晶圓,然後通入NH 3和Ar的混合氣體對噴淋頭表面的保護層進行陳化處理,向真空反應腔施加一射頻訊號,將混合氣體激發為等離子體後與矽晶圓反應,具體反應機理如下: NH 3+eàNH+H*; Ar+eàAr++2e; xH*+SiàSiHx。 As shown in Figure 5, the difference between the processing method for improving the plasma etching rate of the present invention and the first embodiment is that before placing the thermally oxidized silicon wafer in the series of steps, an unoxidized general silicon wafer is first placed. , then a mixed gas of NH 3 and Ar is introduced to age the protective layer on the surface of the shower head, and a radio frequency signal is applied to the vacuum reaction chamber to excite the mixed gas into plasma and then react with the silicon wafer. The specific reaction mechanism As follows: NH 3 +eàNH+H*; Ar+eàAr++2e; xH*+SiàSiHx.

SiHx會重新沉積在氣體噴淋頭等零部件表面變成Si 沉積層,Ar+的物理轟擊效果會加速Si 沉積層沉積的速度,加速鈍化(passivation),生成矽鍍層在噴淋頭的表面,在此基礎上,放入熱氧化後的矽晶圓,激發有機蝕刻氣體等離子體在噴淋頭的矽鍍層上覆蓋一層高緻密性矽薄膜。矽鍍層和高緻密性矽薄膜結構類似,結合起來較穩定,不容易脫落,且兩者共同作用,可以起到更好的減少污染物效果,並且,該實施例不需要對現有氣體噴淋頭已覆蓋的矽鍍膜進行清除後再覆蓋新的高緻密性矽薄膜,適用性較強。SiHx will be re-deposited on the surface of gas shower heads and other components to become a Si deposition layer. The physical bombardment effect of Ar+ will accelerate the deposition speed of the Si deposition layer, accelerate passivation, and generate a silicon coating layer on the surface of the shower head. Here Basically, the thermally oxidized silicon wafer is placed, and the organic etching gas plasma is excited to cover the silicon coating of the shower head with a highly dense silicon film. The silicon coating has a similar structure to the high-density silicon film. The combination is relatively stable and not easy to fall off. The two work together to achieve a better effect of reducing pollutants. Moreover, this embodiment does not require any modification to the existing gas shower head. The covered silicon coating is removed and then covered with a new high-density silicon film, which has strong applicability.

在本實施例中,有機蝕刻氣體包括H 2和矽烷(SiH 4),還包括氧氣(O 2)、一氧化碳(CO)和二氧化碳(CO 2)中的一種或幾種。 In this embodiment, the organic etching gas includes H 2 and silane (SiH 4 ), and also includes one or more of oxygen (O 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).

對比例一Comparative Example 1

如圖6所示,針對有機蝕刻反應中的含H製程,折線(1)是使用矽鍍層處理方法的噴淋頭在蝕刻過程產生的污染物數量監測,折線(2)和(3)是使用本發明處理方法後在不同壓力下蝕刻過程產生的污染物數量監測。可以看出隨著處理基片的片數(pcs)增加,矽鍍層處理方法雖然也減少了污染物的產生,但是經過兩組資料的平均值,還是達到4.7個(ea)。而採用本發明的處理方法後,分別在壓力為270毫托(mT)測量了污染物的數量記錄為折線(2),得出平均污染物數量為2.8ea,在壓力為60mT下測量了污染物的數量記錄為折線(3),得出平均污染物的數量為2.4ea,可見,採用本發明的處理方法,能起到更好的防止污染物產生的技術效果。As shown in Figure 6, for the H-containing process in the organic etching reaction, the broken line (1) is the monitoring of the number of pollutants produced by the shower head using the silicon coating treatment method during the etching process. The broken lines (2) and (3) are the Monitor the number of pollutants produced during the etching process under different pressures after the treatment method of the present invention. It can be seen that as the number of processed substrates (pcs) increases, although the silicon coating treatment method also reduces the generation of pollutants, the average value of the two sets of data still reaches 4.7 (ea). After adopting the treatment method of the present invention, the number of pollutants was measured at a pressure of 270 mTorr (mT) and recorded as a broken line (2). It was found that the average number of pollutants was 2.8ea, and the pollution was measured at a pressure of 60 mT. The number of objects is recorded as a broken line (3), and the average number of pollutants is 2.4ea. It can be seen that the treatment method of the present invention can achieve better technical effects in preventing the generation of pollutants.

如圖7所示,針對有機蝕刻反應中的含H製程,折線(2)是使用矽鍍層處理方法的噴淋頭的蝕刻速率的監測,折線(1)和(3)是使用本發明處理方法後在不同壓力下蝕刻速率的監測。可以看出,雖然使用矽鍍層處理方法的反應速率比較穩定,但是平均速率675.1埃/分(Å/min)要高於相同壓力60mT時本發明處理方法的速率668 Å/min,在折線(1)中,本發明的處理方法在壓力為270mT時也能保持較低的平均蝕刻速率。而在實際反應中,期望蝕刻速率維持穩定且不要過快,所以結合圖1中使用矽鍍層處理方法蝕刻速率隨著基片的增加,蝕刻速率先快後慢的情況,本發明的處理方法更能滿足實際蝕刻的需求。As shown in Figure 7, for the H-containing process in the organic etching reaction, the broken line (2) is the monitoring of the etching rate of the shower head using the silicon plating treatment method, and the broken lines (1) and (3) are the monitoring of the etching rate using the treatment method of the present invention. Then the etching rate was monitored under different pressures. It can be seen that although the reaction rate using the silicon plating treatment method is relatively stable, the average rate of 675.1 Angstroms/min (Å/min) is higher than the rate of 668 Å/min of the treatment method of the present invention at the same pressure of 60mT, at the broken line (1 ), the treatment method of the present invention can also maintain a low average etching rate when the pressure is 270mT. In the actual reaction, it is expected that the etching rate will remain stable and not be too fast. Therefore, in conjunction with the etching rate using the silicon plating treatment method in Figure 1 as the substrate increases, the etching rate first becomes faster and then becomes slower. The treatment method of the present invention is more Can meet actual etching needs.

There are three sets of experimental data. Each set measures the number of contaminants in increasing order of the number of substrates processed. It can be seen that after etching reactions of up to 425 wafers, the number of contaminants can be maintained within 6. For the use of silicon plating treatment methods, the number of pollutants produced can reach hundreds. It can be seen that in the organic etching process containing C, the treatment method of the present invention has a better effect on reducing pollutants than the silicon plating method.

如圖9所示,針對有機蝕刻反應中的含C製程,柱狀圖(1)是使用矽鍍層處理方法後的噴淋頭蝕刻速率的監測,柱狀圖(2)、(3)和(4)是使用本發明處理方法後在不同基片數量下蝕刻速率的監測。柱狀圖(1)是在最多10片數量下的蝕刻速率變化情況,按照基片數量的增加,依次選取了3組記錄蝕刻速率,可以看出,反應速率在逐漸增加,而柱狀圖(2)、(3)和(4)分別是在基片數量最多為10、125和340條件下,依次選取了3組記錄蝕刻速率,可以看出,反應速率一直保持比較穩定的值,從均一性折線也可以顯示出來,本發明的處理方法相對矽鍍層處理方法具有更穩定的速率。As shown in Figure 9, for the C-containing process in the organic etching reaction, the bar graph (1) is the monitoring of the etching rate of the shower head after using the silicon coating treatment method. The bar graphs (2), (3) and ( 4) is the monitoring of the etching rate under different substrate numbers after using the processing method of the present invention. The histogram (1) shows the changes in etching rate at a maximum of 10 wafers. According to the increase in the number of substrates, 3 groups were selected to record the etching rate. It can be seen that the reaction rate is gradually increasing, while the histogram ( 2), (3) and (4) respectively selected 3 groups to record the etching rate when the number of substrates was up to 10, 125 and 340. It can be seen that the reaction rate has always maintained a relatively stable value, from uniform to The linear fold line can also be shown, and the processing method of the present invention has a more stable rate than the silicon plating processing method.
