Description
本創作涉及半導體設備的技術領域,具體涉及一種集成有氣體輸送系統的等離子體蝕刻設備。The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor equipment, in particular to a plasma etching equipment integrated with a gas delivery system.
等離子體反應裝置廣泛應用於積體電路的製造製程中,如沉積、蝕刻等。其中,常用的等離子體反應裝置包括電容耦合型等離子體反應裝置(Capacitively Coupled Plasma,CCP)和電感耦合型等離子體裝置(Inductively Coupled Plasma,ICP),主要是使用射頻功率將輸入反應裝置中的反應氣體解離成等離子體,利用該等離子體對放置於其內部的基片進行等離子體蝕刻處理。Plasma reaction devices are widely used in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits, such as deposition and etching. Among them, commonly used plasma reaction devices include capacitively coupled plasma reaction devices (Capacitively Coupled Plasma, CCP) and inductively coupled plasma devices (Inductively Coupled Plasma, ICP), which mainly use radio frequency power to input the reaction in the reaction device The gas dissociates into plasma, which is used to perform plasma etching on the substrate placed inside it.
為了提高通孔的側壁的垂直度和粗糙度的要求,現有技術在蝕刻矽通孔(Through Silicon Via,TSV)時通常採用Bosch(博世)蝕刻製程,通過下述步驟進行蝕刻:第一,蝕刻步驟,在等離子體反應腔內通入蝕刻氣體,在矽基底表面進行通孔蝕刻;第二,聚合物沉積步驟,在等離子體反應腔內通入沉積氣體,所述沉積氣體在通孔側壁沉積形成側壁保護。蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟交替進行,直至通孔蝕刻完成。採用該方法的特點是能夠蝕刻較深的矽孔,但是由於蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟交替進行,會在側壁形成扇貝狀的粗糙表面,對矽孔的後續製程產生不良影響,故為了保證矽孔蝕刻的合格率,需要矽孔側壁的粗糙表面越小越好,越光滑越好。因此,一種降低矽孔側壁扇貝狀粗糙表面的方式是提高蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟的交替頻率,降低每一步蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟所需時間。In order to improve the verticality and roughness requirements of the sidewall of the through hole, the prior art usually adopts the Bosch (Bosch) etching process when etching the through silicon via (TSV), and the etching is carried out through the following steps: first, etching In the first step, the etching gas is fed into the plasma reaction chamber, and the through hole is etched on the surface of the silicon substrate; the second step is the polymer deposition step, the deposition gas is fed into the plasma reaction chamber, and the deposition gas is deposited on the side wall of the through hole Form sidewall protection. Etching steps and deposition steps are alternated until via etching is complete. The feature of this method is that it can etch deep silicon holes, but because the etching step and the deposition step are performed alternately, a scallop-like rough surface will be formed on the side wall, which will have a negative impact on the subsequent process of the silicon hole. Therefore, in order to ensure silicon hole etching The pass rate needs to be as small as possible for the rough surface of the sidewall of the silicon hole, and the smoother the better. Therefore, one way to reduce the scalloped rough surface of the sidewall of the silicon hole is to increase the alternating frequency of etching steps and deposition steps, and reduce the time required for each etching step and deposition step.
現有的儲存氣體源的氣體輸送系統通常設置為氣櫃(Gas box)形式。對於蝕刻設備來說,氣櫃的設計至關重要,其功能是將各路製程氣體集成在一個空間環境內,並按製程需求對不同氣體進行傳輸、分配和混合,對個別關鍵製程氣體進行精確流量控制,根據製程不同步驟的設定實現對製程氣體進行開關控制等功能。不同蝕刻製程需要的反應氣體不盡相同,例如,典型的TSV需要博世製程氣體(SF
6,C
4F
8...),特殊的TSV製程需要腐蝕性氣體(Cl
2,HBr,BCl
3…),儲存這兩類氣體的氣櫃的設計規則和要求完全不同。對於博世製程氣體安全要求較低。對於CR氣櫃(Corrosive gas box),需要更高的安全要求(密封,N
2吹掃,聯鎖,SEMI認證……),以及需要足夠的空間安裝額外的吹掃管線、吹掃閥、壓力開關表等元件,為保證安全,在地板上或高架上放置是首選方法。圖1為現有技術的蝕刻設備的示意圖。等離子體蝕刻設備10內設有反應腔20,等離子體蝕刻設備10外設有第一氣櫃30或第二氣櫃30’,第一氣櫃30和第二氣櫃30’均為CR氣櫃。圖1示出了CR氣櫃的兩種安裝方式,其中第一氣櫃30設置在地板上,第二氣櫃30’設置在高處。由於包含有腐蝕性氣體或者有毒性氣體的CR氣櫃未集成於等離子體蝕刻設備,氣體源與蝕刻設備的反應腔距離較遠,將難以實現博世蝕刻製程中的蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟的快速交替。
Existing gas delivery systems for storing gas sources are usually set in the form of gas boxes. For etching equipment, the design of the gas cabinet is very important. Its function is to integrate various process gases in a space environment, and to transmit, distribute and mix different gases according to process requirements, and accurately control individual key process gases. Flow control, according to the settings of different steps of the process, it can realize the function of switching and controlling the process gas. Different etching processes require different reactive gases, for example, typical TSV requires Bosch process gases (SF 6 , C 4 F 8 ...), special TSV processes require corrosive gases (Cl 2 , HBr, BCl 3 ... ), the design rules and requirements for gas cabinets storing these two types of gases are completely different. The safety requirements for Bosch process gases are relatively low. For CR gas cabinets (Corrosive gas box), higher safety requirements are required (sealing, N 2 purge, interlock, SEMI certification...), and sufficient space is required to install additional purge lines, purge valves, pressure For components such as switchgear, placement on the floor or on an elevated shelf is the preferred method for safety. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an etching device in the prior art. The
近年來,出現了一些關於利用蝕刻方式來實現晶圓切片的等離子體切片技術。在半導體元件製造領域,通常都是先在同一晶圓表面上的不同區域製作出一系列相同的元件,而後將該晶圓切割成一個個獨立的功能元件單元(即,晶片,DIEs)。上述切割的製程通常被稱為晶圓切片(wafer dicing)。傳統的晶圓切片通常都借助切割刀具來完成。等離子體切片技術利用等離子體蝕刻替代刀具實現晶圓切割,切割道內的金屬層需要Cl 2等腐蝕性氣體進行蝕刻。 In recent years, there have been some plasma slicing technologies using etching to realize wafer slicing. In the field of semiconductor device manufacturing, a series of identical devices are usually fabricated on different regions on the surface of the same wafer, and then the wafer is cut into individual functional device units (ie, wafers, DIEs). The above dicing process is generally called wafer dicing. Traditional wafer dicing is usually done with the help of dicing tools. Plasma slicing technology uses plasma etching instead of cutters to achieve wafer dicing, and the metal layer in the dicing road needs to be etched by corrosive gases such as Cl 2 .

氣體輸送系統31包含:用於通入所述反應腔20內的第一氣體源,所述的第一氣體源包含腐蝕性氣體。本創作中,腐蝕性氣體是指Cl
2、HBr、BCl
3等具有強腐蝕性,在半導體工業需要嚴格保證安全的氣體,這類氣體通常儲存於CR氣櫃,需要高的安全要求,例如需要採取嚴格的密封措施;在需要更換部件而開箱時,需要有吹掃氣體將可能存在洩漏的腐蝕性氣體吹掃乾淨;需要經過SEMI(Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International,半導體設備與材料的國際性組織)認證等。
The
另一些實施例中,只在反應腔20的單側設有電氣箱50,氣體輸送系統31與電氣箱50分別設於設備箱體40的兩側。In other embodiments, the
另一些實施例中,氣體輸送系統31與電氣箱50之間不設隔板60,而是將氣體輸送系統31設於氣體箱內,該氣體箱獨立於電氣箱50設置。隔板60或氣體箱等確保氣體輸送系統31的封閉性,以保證使用安全。In some other embodiments, no
將儲存有腐蝕性氣體的氣體輸送系統31集成到蝕刻設備的設備箱體40內,可以縮短腐蝕性氣體輸送到反應腔20的距離,實現通入反應腔20內的氣體的快速切換,滿足特殊的TSV製程中蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟需要快速交替的要求。通過設置隔板60或者獨立的氣體箱,使氣體輸送系統31與設備箱體40內其他配件隔離,實現了密封性,確保使用安全。Integrating the
設備箱體40內設置的反應腔20不限定為一個。設有兩個或兩個以上反應腔20的蝕刻設備可共用同一個氣體輸送系統31。The
圖3和圖4為等離子體蝕刻設備10內部的部分示意圖,其中示出氣體輸送系統31和電氣箱50。所述第一氣體源還包含:非腐蝕性氣體。本創作中,非腐蝕性氣體是指常規博世製程氣體,例如SF
6、C
4F
8等,這種氣體的安全要求較低。對於這類氣體,在需要開箱時,並不強制使用N
2吹掃可能洩露的氣體。如圖3和圖4所示,氣體輸送系統31通過第一管路311輸送腐蝕性氣體,通過第二管路312輸送非腐蝕性氣體。氣體輸送系統31還包含:儲存吹掃氣體的第二氣體源,以及用於輸送吹掃氣體的第三管路313(請參閱圖6)。需要更換部件而開箱之前,需要吹掃氣體將第一管路311所在的空間進行吹掃。利用抽氣裝置70形成負壓,吹掃氣體將可能洩露的腐蝕氣體吹到抽氣側一並排走,再開箱,以確保操作人員的安全。圖3所示實施例中,第一管路311和第二管路312設於同一空間內,第三管路313對整個空間進行吹掃。圖4所示實施例中,第一管路311和第二管路312設於不同的空間內,第三管路313僅對第一管路311所在的空間進行吹掃。第一管路311周圍設有漏氣監控裝置,以監控是否存在腐蝕性氣體的洩露。

有限的空間是多功能蝕刻設備設計的最大困難。鑒於等離子體蝕刻設備箱體空間的限制,安裝氣體輸送系統31時,應儘量節省空間。因此,如圖6所示,在一些實施例中,將第三管路313的主體設於設備箱體40外,即第三管路313的兩端連接於氣體輸送系統31內部,主體暴露於設備箱體,例如暴露於設備箱體40的底部或背側,從而節省了氣體輸送系統31所佔用的空間。The limited space is the biggest difficulty in the design of multifunctional etching equipment. In view of the limitation of the space of the plasma etching equipment box, when installing the
等離子體切片技術與特殊TSV製程採用了類似的氣體配置,因此可嘗試將兩種功能結合到一台蝕刻設備上,以節省蝕刻空間和節約成本。Plasma slicing technology and special TSV process adopt similar gas configuration, so it is possible to try to combine the two functions into one etching equipment to save etching space and cost.
實施例2Example 2
圖7為實施例2的整合有等離子體切片技術與特殊TSV功能的蝕刻設備的示意圖。圖7所示的蝕刻設備設有2個反應腔20,分別為第一反應腔201和第二反應腔202。第一反應腔201用於對晶圓進行蝕刻,例如採用TSV製程,以形成半導體結構。第二反應腔202用於對晶圓進行等離子體切片處理。經第一反應腔201處理的晶圓被傳送到第二反應腔202內進行等離子體切片處理。FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of an etching device integrated with a plasma slicing technology and a special TSV function according to Embodiment 2. FIG. The etching equipment shown in FIG. 7 is provided with two
圖8為第一反應腔201的示意圖。第一反應腔201為真空反應腔,包括由金屬材料製成的大致為圓柱形的反應腔側壁。反應腔側壁設置氣體注入口,氣體注入口用於將反應氣體注入真空反應腔內,反應氣體被電離產生等離子體。在第一反應腔201內設有用於支撐晶圓的基座,基座可以是靜電吸盤,靜電吸盤內部設置靜電電極,用於產生靜電吸力,以實現在製程過程中對待處理晶圓90的支撐固定。等離子體中含有大量的電子、離子、激發態的原子、分子和自由基等活性粒子,上述活性粒子可以和待處理晶圓的表面發生多種物理和化學反應,使得晶圓表面的形貌發生改變,即完成蝕刻過程。基座外側設有複數個升降元件,升降元件上部設有晶圓邊緣保護環204。為了滿足某些製程要求的晶圓邊緣保護需求,第一反應腔201設置有晶圓邊緣保護環204,其環繞覆蓋在待處理晶圓90的邊緣上。所述晶圓邊緣保護環204的內徑小於晶圓90的外徑,在進行晶圓傳片時需先將所述晶圓邊緣保護環204移開,複數個升降元件用於升降晶圓邊緣保護環204。其中,升降元件包含升降桿207,用於帶動晶圓邊緣保護環204升降。FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the
第一反應腔201的基座周邊設有插入環206(insert ring),插入環206上方設置圍繞靜電吸盤的聚焦環205(focus ring),聚焦環205用於調節晶圓周圍的電場或溫度分佈,提高晶圓處理的均勻性。基座設有用於將晶圓90頂起以實現晶圓卸載的升舉頂針208(lift pin)。An insert ring 206 (insert ring) is arranged around the base of the
晶圓切割是晶片製造製程流程中一道不可或缺的工序,在晶圓製造中屬於後道工序。晶圓切割就是將做好晶片的整片晶圓按晶片大小分割成單一的晶片(晶粒,DIEs)。為方便對切片後的晶圓進行後續處理,晶圓的背面通常可粘附一層薄膜,切片後被分割開的晶片仍粘附在薄膜上。如圖9所示,晶圓90切片前,待處理的晶圓90被預先裝載到工件支撐件80上。工件支撐件80包含:支撐膜82和框架81。框架81呈環形,內側為圓形開口。支撐膜82以粘附方式安裝到框架81表面,並完全覆蓋框架81的圓形開口。晶圓以粘附方式安裝到位於開口內的支撐膜82的上表面。在需要切片時,已固定的晶圓90隨工件支撐件80一同送入第二反應腔202內。如圖10所示,切片處理時,可在晶圓的晶片區域上覆蓋光致抗蝕劑,未被覆蓋的部分形成切割道902,形成的等離子體對切割道902,包括沉積於切割道902內的金屬層903進行蝕刻,從而將整片晶圓分割成單一的晶片。雖然被切割後的晶片依然粘附在支撐膜82上,但由於第一反應腔201通過升舉頂針208將晶圓頂起實現卸載的方式無法將所有晶片平穩頂起,會導致晶片排列發生錯亂,因此需要對第一反應腔201進行改進,以適用於等離子體切片技術。Wafer dicing is an indispensable process in the wafer manufacturing process, and it belongs to the subsequent process in wafer manufacturing. Wafer dicing is to divide the entire wafer into single wafers (die, DIEs) according to the wafer size. In order to facilitate subsequent processing of the wafer after slicing, a thin film can usually be adhered to the back of the wafer, and the divided wafers after slicing are still adhered to the thin film. As shown in FIG. 9 , before the
圖11為第二反應腔202的示意圖。第二反應腔202在第一反應腔201的升降桿207上安裝橫向支架209,橫向支架209設於晶圓邊緣保護環204下方。橫向支架209用於在抬升或沉降工件支撐件80時,托舉框架81。橫向支架209長度應不超過基座,避免升降時與基座發生觸碰。橫向支架209可對框架81進行托舉。切片時,晶圓90連同支撐膜82和框架81一同送入第二反應腔202內,框架81被基座支撐,在等離子體作用下晶圓被分割成獨立的晶片。切片結束後,升降桿207抬升,帶動橫向支架209提升,從而使框架81脫離基座。第二反應腔202的側壁設有晶圓傳輸口,晶圓被抬升至預定高度時,由設置於第二反應腔202外的機械手(圖中未示)通過該晶圓傳輸口將晶圓取出。FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the
由於第二反應腔202是在第一反應腔201的基礎上改進,因此第二反應腔202也可用於對晶圓進行蝕刻,例如採用TSV製程,以形成半導體結構,即第二反應腔202作為蝕刻和切片一體腔。Since the
另一些實施例中,只需要在常規反應腔內增設升降元件以實現第二反應腔202的功能,並不限定需要在升降元件上部設置晶圓邊緣保護環204。In some other embodiments, it is only necessary to add a lifting element in the conventional reaction chamber to realize the function of the
