Description
本創作涉及電漿蝕刻技術領域,尤其涉及一種具有射頻功率分佈調節功能的電漿處理裝置。 This creation relates to the technical field of plasma etching, in particular to a plasma processing device with a radio frequency power distribution adjustment function.
在電漿蝕刻設備中,氣體噴淋頭可作為上電極,基座可作為下電極,並且一個源射頻電源連接到上電極或下電極,而一個偏置射頻電源連接到下電極。源射頻電源輸出的高頻射頻功率用於點燃並維持反應腔內的電漿,偏置射頻電源輸出的低頻射頻功率用於控制形成在基片上表面的和聚焦環上表面的鞘層厚度。 In plasma etching equipment, the gas shower head can be used as the upper electrode, the base can be used as the lower electrode, and a source RF power supply is connected to the upper electrode or the lower electrode, and a bias RF power supply is connected to the lower electrode. The high frequency radio frequency power output by the source radio frequency power supply is used to ignite and maintain the plasma in the reaction chamber, and the low frequency radio frequency power output by the bias radio frequency power supply is used to control the thickness of the sheath formed on the upper surface of the substrate and the upper surface of the focusing ring.
然而,由於聚焦環長期保留在充滿蝕刻氣體的電漿中,所以在進行一定時間的電漿處理後,聚焦環表面材料會被腐蝕,因此聚焦環上表面的高度會隨之下降,下降的高度會嚴重影響基片邊緣區域鞘層的分佈和形態,而造成基片邊緣區域蝕刻速率和蝕刻方向與基片中心區域的具有差別(edge tilting),而降低基片加工均勻性,影響最終晶片的良率。 However, since the focus ring remains in the plasma filled with etching gas for a long time, after a certain period of plasma treatment, the surface material of the focus ring will be corroded, so the height of the upper surface of the focus ring will decrease accordingly. It will seriously affect the distribution and morphology of the sheath in the edge area of the substrate, and cause the edge tilting of the etching rate and etching direction in the edge area of the substrate and the central area of the substrate (edge tilting), which reduces the uniformity of substrate processing and affects the final wafer. Yield.
先前技術中,偏置射頻電源輸入的低頻射頻功率只能部分的補償至聚焦環而抬升聚焦環上方的鞘層,因此這種補償只能維持較短的時間。 In the prior art, the low-frequency RF power input by the bias RF power supply can only be partially compensated to the focus ring to lift the sheath above the focus ring, so this compensation can only be maintained for a short time.
因此,需要開發一種新的調節裝置,來更有效的調節耦合至聚焦環上的射頻功率,從而維持較長時間的對聚焦環被腐蝕的補償,以此改善基片處理製程的均勻性。 Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new adjustment device to more effectively adjust the RF power coupled to the focus ring, so as to maintain a longer period of time to compensate for the corrosion of the focus ring, so as to improve the uniformity of the substrate processing process.
有鑑於此,本創作提供了一種電漿處理裝置,透過阻抗調節組件調整基片邊緣區域射頻功率,補償聚焦環長期使用中的損耗帶來的基片邊緣傾斜蝕刻(edge tilting)。 In view of this, the present invention provides a plasma processing device that adjusts the RF power in the edge area of the substrate through an impedance adjustment component to compensate for the edge tilting of the substrate edge caused by the loss of the focus ring during long-term use.

It is obvious that the illustrated embodiments are part of the embodiments of this creation, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this creation, all other embodiments obtained by those with ordinary knowledge in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this creation.
圖1是一個習知的電容耦合型電漿處理裝置,電漿處理裝置包括由複數個壁圍成的反應腔10,反應腔10的上方設置有氣體噴淋頭20,用以將氣體供應裝置內的反應氣體引入反應腔10內,以形成電漿對基片w進行蝕刻。氣體噴淋頭20可作為上電極。氣體噴淋頭20的外周環設有隔離環30,用以將電漿約束於隔離環30的相應壁體內。反應腔10的下方設置有用於承載基片w的基座40,基座40可作為下電極。一個源射頻電源透過一個高頻射頻功率匹配器連接到下電極,以及一個偏置射頻電源透過一個偏置射頻功率匹配器連接到下電極。源射頻電源輸出高頻射頻功率到反應腔10,使得經氣體噴淋頭20噴入反應腔10的反應氣體產生電漿,源射頻電源輸出的高頻射頻訊號的頻率大於13MHz。偏置射頻電源輸出的低頻射頻訊號的頻率小於13MHz。氣體噴淋頭20與基座40之間為電漿處理區域。基座40通常由鋁合金進行表面陽極氧化製成,或者在鋁合金表面塗覆一層絕緣的耐腐蝕材料層,以避免被反應腔10內的蝕刻氣體腐蝕,造成顆粒污染等一系列問題。基座40上表面設置有一個靜電夾盤41用於固定待處理基片w到靜電夾盤41上表面。基座40下部外圍進一步包括一個突出的臺階部,臺階部上設置有耦合環42,耦合環42圍繞在基座40外周圍,透過對耦合環42的材料和形狀尺寸的選擇,可以改變基片w邊緣區域耦合的射頻能量分佈。耦合環
42上方設置有一個聚焦環43,其中聚焦環43圍繞靜電夾盤41且其內壁圍繞並緊貼基片w,而且聚焦環43的上表面在電漿處理過程中暴露於電漿。反應腔10底部進一步包括一個排氣裝置以排出氣體,進而維持反應腔10內低壓。在電漿處理過程中,源射頻電源輸出的高頻射頻功率用於點燃並維持反應腔10內的電漿,偏置射頻電源輸出的低頻射頻功率用於控制形成在基片w上表面的和聚焦環43上表面的鞘層厚度,鞘層的厚度決定了電漿中的離子入射到基片w的能量和方向。如果基片w邊緣區域和聚焦環43的鞘層不連續分佈的話將會造成基片w邊緣區域蝕刻速率和蝕刻方向與基片w中心區域的差別(edge tilting),而降低基片w的加工均勻性,影響最終晶片的良率。
Figure 1 is a conventional capacitive coupling type plasma processing device. The plasma processing device includes a
由於聚焦環43是長期處於充滿蝕刻氣體的電漿中的,所以在進行一定時間的電漿處理後,聚焦環43表面材料必然會被腐蝕,因此聚焦環43上表面的高度會隨之下降,其下降的高度會嚴重影響基片w邊緣區域鞘層的分佈和形態,為了抵消這種長期工作中所產生的電漿處理效果不均,需要設計對應的補償機構或方法。部分的先前技術中透過在反應腔10內設置機械驅動裝置,以驅動耦合環42或者聚焦環43可以微量上下運動,以改變基片w邊緣區域的電場分佈。然而,使用這種方法會因為存在有運動部件會帶來顆粒污染的問題,而且運動的耦合環42和聚焦環43的精確定位也是很大的問題,1mm以下的位置偏移都會導致基片w上處理效果的不均勻分佈。
Since the
上述調節方法不僅存在問題,而且更存在一個最嚴重的缺陷,上述調節方法對耦合到聚焦環43的低頻射頻功率的影響很小,也就是必須進行大幅度的調節才能有效改善功率分配。如圖2所示,輸入的低頻射頻功率P0經過基座40與基片w之間的等效電容C11耦合功率P1’到基片w,同時經過基座40到耦合環42和聚焦環43之間的等效電容C12耦合功率P2’到聚焦環43。其中等效電容C12的值非常小,而且很難調節,所以功率P2’會遠小於功率P1’且功率比例很以調
整。為了增加等效電容C12可以選擇鋁、碳化矽等高導電性的材料來製造耦合環42,但是這種透過所選擇的材料來補償的方法只能補償一段時間,而無法動態的補償由於聚焦環43損耗帶來的處理效果不均。
The above adjustment method not only has a problem, but also has one of the most serious defects. The above adjustment method has little effect on the low-frequency RF power coupled to the
以下將結合圖3及圖5,以進一步說明本創作的具體實施例。 The following will further illustrate the specific embodiments of this creation in conjunction with FIG. 3 and FIG. 5.
經過創作人研究發現,當高頻的射頻功率被輸入基座140時射頻功率能夠輕易的耦合到聚焦環143處,因為對於高頻訊號來說基座140表面很薄(數十微米),絕緣耐腐蝕層和耦合環142阻抗很小。但是對於低頻射頻訊號來說,較低的頻率導致同樣的絕緣耐腐蝕層和耦合環142形成很大的阻抗,這一阻抗導致只有很少的低頻射頻能量能耦合到聚焦環143,即使採用各種手段調節耦合環142與聚焦環143的介電常數、位置,最終可調的範圍仍然有限。因為基座140側壁的絕緣耐腐蝕層必不可少,而且耦合環142通常選擇絕緣材料,如氧化鋁或者氧化矽材料製成,所以在現有硬體結構下無法將低頻射頻功率可調的分配到基片w邊緣的聚焦環143上。其中耦合環142也可以選擇高導電材料製成,但是這種耦合環142只能在短時間內取得較好的蝕刻效果,時間一長仍然無法補償聚焦環143損耗帶來的處理效果不均。而且高導電性的耦合環142除了影響低頻射頻功率的分佈也會同時影響高頻射頻功率的分佈,也就影響了電漿濃度的分佈,所以為了聚焦環143上方鞘層厚度的調整反而造成電漿濃度分佈不均勻,也無法改善整體的電漿處理效果。聚焦環143通常是由石英、氧化鋁等絕緣材料或者碳化矽、矽等半導體材料製成,以避免電漿處理過程中產生的顆粒污染基片w,同時提供足夠的導電性。
After the creator’s research, it was found that when high-frequency RF power is input to the
基於這一發現,本創作提出了如圖3所示的一種新的電漿處理裝置,其基本結構與圖1所示的技術相同。圖3示出了於基座140的下方環設有導體環144,導體環144透過導電連接部與由鋁、碳化矽等高導電性的材料製成的耦合環142電性連接,導體環144可以由銅等導電材料製成;阻抗調節組件150設置
於基座140的下方且與基座140電性連接;導電連接部電性連接阻抗調節組件150及導體環144。透過調節阻抗調節組件150來調節輸送到聚焦環143的低頻射頻功率。本創作中,將由鋁、碳化矽等高導電性的材料製成的耦合環142當作環形電極,而由導電連接部連接導體環144與耦合環142而電性導通,當然在其他實施例中,也可以設置由絕緣材料製成的耦合環142,然後單獨設置環形電極,將此環形電極設置於耦合環142內或者將環形電極設置於耦合環142與聚焦環143之間,並透過導電連接部連接導體環144與環形電極而實現導體環144與環形電極的電性導通。較佳地,導電連接部為一導線。
Based on this discovery, this author proposes a new plasma processing device as shown in Figure 3, the basic structure of which is the same as the technology shown in Figure 1. FIG. 3 shows that a
結合圖5所示,阻抗調節組件150包括複數個電容器151及複數個繼電器152,各繼電器152分別與單個電容器151電性連接以控制單個電容器151的導電狀態。本創作中,電容器151及繼電器152的個數相等,且均為至少兩個,較佳為設置三個電容器151及三個繼電器152。單個繼電器152與單個電容器151電性連接,以單獨控制各電容器151的電路導通。各電容器151的電容值可以相同也可以不相同。阻抗調節組件150進一步包括電感153,電感153電性連接於基座140,電感153為一低通濾波器,可阻止源射頻電源輸出的高頻射頻功率耦合至聚焦環143,而偏置射頻電源輸出的低頻射頻功率仍可被耦合至聚焦環143。氣體噴架154,設置於複數個電容器151的周側,氣體噴架154面向電容器151的壁面設有複數個氣嘴155,氣體噴架154內挖設有氣體容積區域156,氣嘴155與氣體容積區域156相連通,氣嘴155用於向電容器151所在的空間噴氣,以降低電容器151及其周側環境溫度。陶瓷板157,用於電容器151及氣體噴架154固定於其上,且具有良好的耐高溫性能。固定架158的一端連接於陶瓷板157以及另一端連接於基座140,以將阻抗調節組件150整體固定於基座140。
As shown in FIG. 5, the
阻抗調節組件150的複數個繼電器152透過控制線連接於控制器,此控制器可單獨控制各繼電器152的開關,以將複數個電容器151中的部分電容器151電路導通或者電路關閉,以調節輸送到聚焦環143的低頻射頻功率。
The plurality of
阻抗調節組件150的氣體噴架154透過氣體管道與氣體裝置M連通,且於氣體管道上設置一閥,以控制向氣體容積區域156內通入冷卻氣體。氣體為乾燥壓縮氣體,可被輸送至電容器151周邊環境區域,以降低電容器151及其周邊環境溫度。
The
如圖4所示為本創作的等效電路圖和射頻功率分佈圖,本創作中耦合到基片w的等效電容C21仍然很大,所以主要功率能夠耦合到基片w,基座140經過側壁耐腐蝕絕緣層和耦合環142到聚焦環143的等效電容C22仍然很小,無法傳輸較大功率的射頻功率。阻抗調節組件150不是透過傳統的耦合的方式傳遞射頻功率,而是透過直接電連接的方式將基座140中的射頻功率直接引導到了聚焦環143,所以繞過了嚴重影響低頻射頻功率耦合的阻抗。其中,阻抗調節組件150中可以根據需要自行選擇具有不同電容值的電容器151進行組合,且可透過繼電器152來選擇性地將具有所需要電容值的電容器151於電路上進行電性導通,所以本創作的阻抗調節組件150透過簡單地將具有需電容值的電容器151電路導通就可以有效的調節輸送到聚焦環143的低頻射頻功率。當反應腔處於初始狀態時,複數個電容器151均未被電性導通,在電漿處理過程中,可對基片w蝕刻效果進行監測,並重點監測基片w邊緣區域的蝕刻效果是否與中心區域的蝕刻效果不同,如果基片w邊緣的蝕刻孔傾斜角度在預設角度範圍內,則繼續執行基片w蝕刻效果監測步驟,如果基片w邊緣的蝕刻孔傾斜超過預設角度,則對阻抗調節組件150進行調整。依據基片w蝕刻效果監測中監測的基片w邊緣的蝕刻孔傾斜的程度,透過控制器將複數個繼電器152中的至少一個開啟,以使得與啟動的繼電器152電性連接的某一個或某些具有所需電容值的電容器151電性導通,
隨即更多低頻射頻功率被輸送到基片w邊緣的聚焦環143,且基片w邊緣聚焦環143的低頻射頻功率改變,進而抬高聚焦環143處的鞘層,使得基片w邊緣到聚焦環143上方具有相同高度的鞘層,改善蝕刻均一性。繼續監測基片w處理的效果,直到處理效果的均一性再次偏移超出預設的閥值,根據監測到的數值再次調整被電性導通的電容器151的數值,以電性導通相應的電容器151來補償聚焦環143的損耗。這樣本創作就可以在長期不更換聚焦環143的情況下,只需要改變電性導通的電容器151的數值即可長期保持電漿蝕刻效果的穩定。

The equivalent capacitance C21 coupled to the substrate w in this creation is still very large, so the main power can be coupled to the substrate w, and the base 140 passes through the sidewalls.
