本案涉及半導體設備領域,特別涉及一種氣體噴淋頭及等離子體處理裝置。 This case involves the field of semiconductor equipment, in particular a gas shower head and a plasma processing device.

在一些半導體製程期間,通過基板處理設備來處理基板或晶圓。例如,基板處理設備用於通過包括蝕刻、物理氣相沉積(PVD)、化學氣相沉積(CVD)、等離子體增強化學氣相沉積(PECVD)、原子層沉積(ALD)、等離子體增強原子層沉積(PEALD)、脈衝沉積層(PDL)、等離子體增強脈衝沉積層(PEPDL)、抗蝕劑去除的技術處理基板,諸如半導體、玻璃或聚合物基板。在電感耦合型等離子體(inductive coupled plasma,ICP)或者電容耦合型等離子體(Capacitive coupled plasma,CCP)的蝕刻腔室中對晶圓或基板進行等離子體蝕刻處理時,處理氣體被允許通過設置在上述腔室內的噴淋頭進入上述腔室內,並且對腔室施加射頻的振動電能以將氣體激發成等離子體。該氣體與暴露於等離子體的基板或晶圓的表面反應以在晶圓上形成源自處理氣體的組分的膜或清潔該基板或晶圓。 During some semiconductor processes, substrates or wafers are processed by substrate processing equipment. For example, substrate processing equipment is used to process substrates, such as semiconductor, glass or polymer substrates, by techniques including etching, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD), pulsed layer deposition (PDL), plasma enhanced pulsed layer deposition (PEPDL), resist removal. When performing plasma etching treatment on wafers or substrates in an inductive coupled plasma (ICP) or capacitive coupled plasma (CCP) etching chamber, process gas is allowed to enter the chamber through a shower head disposed in the chamber, and radio frequency vibration electrical energy is applied to the chamber to excite the gas into plasma. The gas reacts with the surface of the substrate or wafer exposed to the plasma to form a film of components derived from the process gas on the wafer or to clean the substrate or wafer.

如圖1所示為目前設置在上述腔室內中的常用的一種氣體噴淋頭結構,所述氣體噴淋頭包括一具有進氣面和出氣面的氣體分佈板10,所述氣體分佈板10上分佈有若干個氣孔20,每一所述氣孔20均垂直於所述進氣面和所述出氣面,可稱之垂直氣孔。由此將如圖1所示的氣體噴淋頭應用於等離子體處理 裝置後,如圖2所示,所述等離子體處理裝置包括:真空反應腔30,所述真空反應腔30內設置:基座60,用於支撐待處理的基片50。 As shown in Figure 1, it is a commonly used structure of a gas shower head installed in the above-mentioned chamber at present. The gas shower head includes a gas distribution plate 10 having an air inlet surface and an air outlet surface. Several air holes 20 are distributed on the gas distribution plate 10. Each air hole 20 is perpendicular to the air inlet surface and the air outlet surface, and can be called a vertical air hole. Therefore, the gas shower head shown in Figure 1 is applied to the plasma treatment After the installation, as shown in FIG. 2 , the plasma processing apparatus includes: a vacuum reaction chamber 30 , and a base 60 is arranged in the vacuum reaction chamber 30 for supporting the substrate 50 to be processed.

氣體噴淋頭11,與所述基座60相對設置,用於向所述真空反應腔30內提供反應氣體;等離子體約束環70,其套設在所述基座60外周側,射頻源功率源(圖2中未示出),用於將反應氣體解離產生等離子體40。 The gas shower head 11 is arranged opposite to the base 60, and is used to provide reaction gas into the vacuum reaction chamber 30; the plasma confinement ring 70, which is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the base 60, and a radio frequency source power source (not shown in FIG. 2 ), are used to dissociate the reaction gas to generate plasma 40.

射頻偏置功率源(圖2中未示出),施加到所述基座60,用於驅動等離子體40中的帶電粒子對所述基片50進行處理。位於所述等離子體約束環70下方的真空泵,所述氣體噴淋盤11噴出的反應氣體經由等離子體約束環70被所述在真空泵抽走排至所述真空反應腔30外部。由於所述氣體噴淋盤11噴出的反應氣體是垂直朝向所述基片50,由此反應氣體經過很短的滯留就會抽出至所述真空反應腔30外部,具體的如圖2中的箭頭組成的流線所示,反應氣體的傳輸路徑比較短,導致電離產生的蝕刻反應活性物質(活性自由基)在基片50表面停留時間短,反應效率不高的問題。另外,在垂直進氣時由於抽氣口及其它不對稱腔體部件帶來的角向氣流非對稱性,即氣流分佈沿圓周方向不對稱引起的蝕刻結果(CD、蝕刻速率等)偏邊缺陷。 A radio frequency bias power source (not shown in FIG. 2 ) is applied to the susceptor 60 for driving the charged particles in the plasma 40 to process the substrate 50 . A vacuum pump located below the plasma confinement ring 70 , the reaction gas ejected from the gas shower plate 11 is sucked away by the vacuum pump through the plasma confinement ring 70 and discharged to the outside of the vacuum reaction chamber 30 . Since the reaction gas ejected from the gas shower plate 11 is vertically directed towards the substrate 50, the reaction gas will be drawn out to the outside of the vacuum reaction chamber 30 after a short period of retention. Specifically, as shown in the streamline composed of arrows in FIG. In addition, the angular airflow asymmetry caused by the air inlet and other asymmetrical cavity components during vertical air intake, that is, the etching results (CD, etch rate, etc.) caused by the asymmetry of the airflow distribution along the circumferential direction.

本案的目的是提供一種氣體噴淋頭及等離子體處理裝置,以解決現有的由於氣體噴淋盤的噴淋方向垂直於基片表面,導致噴出的反應氣體由氣體噴淋盤噴出到從等離子體約束環70被抽走之間的流線過短,反應氣體解離產生的蝕刻反應活性物質(自由基等)在反應空間內停留時間短,反應效率低的缺點;以及提高真空反應腔環向氣流分佈均勻性,改善由於氣流分佈沿圓周方向不對稱引起的蝕刻結果(CD、蝕刻速率等)偏邊缺陷。 The purpose of this case is to provide a gas shower head and a plasma processing device to solve the existing shortcoming that the spraying direction of the gas shower plate is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate, causing the jetted reaction gas to be ejected from the gas shower plate and being drawn away from the plasma confinement ring 70. , etch rate, etc.) edge defects.

本案至少具有以下優點之一: This case has at least one of the following advantages:

本案提供的氣體噴淋頭通過設有的第一環形氣體分佈區,包括若干所述第一氣體通孔;第二環形氣體分佈區,包括若干所述第二氣體通孔,所述第一環形氣體分佈區環繞設置在所述第二環形氣體分佈區外圍,即可以將最外圈氣體通孔沿圓周方向傾斜,使得噴淋出的氣流(反應氣體)產生旋轉形成類似於螺旋狀的旋轉氣流,所述旋轉氣流延長了反應氣體在所述氣體噴淋盤至等離子體約束環之間的氣體路徑,由此延長了反應氣體在晶圓(基片)表面的停留時間,提高了反應氣體使用效率。 The gas shower head provided in this case includes a plurality of the first gas through holes through the first annular gas distribution area; the second annular gas distribution area includes a plurality of the second gas through holes, and the first annular gas distribution area is arranged around the periphery of the second annular gas distribution area, that is, the outermost gas through holes can be inclined in the circumferential direction, so that the sprayed gas flow (reaction gas) is rotated to form a spiral-like swirling gas flow, and the swirling gas flow prolongs the gas path of the reaction gas between the gas spray plate and the plasma confinement ring, thus prolonging the flow of the reaction gas on the wafer ( The residence time on the surface of the substrate) improves the use efficiency of the reaction gas.

所述旋轉氣流還可以使反應氣體產生沿圓周方向的流動,改善在垂直進氣時由於抽氣口及其它不對稱腔體部件帶來的角向氣流非對稱性。這樣使得反應氣在角向分佈更均勻,從而改善由於氣流分佈引起的蝕刻結果的偏邊缺陷。 The swirling air flow can also make the reaction gas flow in the circumferential direction, and improve the asymmetry of the angular air flow caused by the air suction port and other asymmetrical cavity parts during vertical air intake. In this way, the reactant gas is distributed more uniformly in the angular direction, thereby improving the side edge defect of the etching result caused by the gas flow distribution.

本案所提供的所述第三氣體通孔形成一第三環形氣體分佈區,所述第三環形氣體分佈區環繞設置於所述第一環形氣體分佈區外圍;或者,所述第一環形氣體分佈區環繞設置於所述第三環形氣體分佈區外圍。所述第三氣體通孔的設置可以對氣流方向產生指向圓心的拉力,避免外圍反應氣體迅速向外擴散排出。由此進一步延長了反應氣體在晶圓(基片)表面的停留時間,提高了反應氣體使用效率。 The third gas through hole provided in this application forms a third annular gas distribution area, and the third annular gas distribution area is arranged around the periphery of the first annular gas distribution area; or, the first annular gas distribution area is arranged around the periphery of the third annular gas distribution area. The setting of the third gas through hole can generate a pulling force pointing to the center of the gas flow direction, so as to prevent the peripheral reaction gas from rapidly diffusing outward and being discharged. Thus, the residence time of the reaction gas on the surface of the wafer (substrate) is further prolonged, and the use efficiency of the reaction gas is improved.

本案所提供的環形凹槽,解決了因氣孔開口暴露於等離子體環境中,長時間受等離子體侵蝕會使氣孔開口變大,形貌發生改變,可能會對氣流方向產生影響導致反應氣滯留時間縮短,導致影響蝕刻結果的問題。在進行等離子體蝕刻時,所述等離子體主要侵蝕所述環形凹槽的開口,由此可以保護氣體通孔開口以保證氣流方向不隨著噴淋頭被侵蝕而產生變化,由此提升所述氣體噴淋頭的壽命,提高對氣體流場控制的穩定性。 The annular groove provided in this case solves the problem that because the pore opening is exposed to the plasma environment, the pore opening will become larger and the shape will change due to the plasma erosion for a long time, which may affect the direction of the gas flow, resulting in shortening the residence time of the reaction gas and affecting the etching result. During plasma etching, the plasma mainly erodes the opening of the annular groove, thereby protecting the opening of the gas through hole to ensure that the gas flow direction does not change as the shower head is eroded, thereby increasing the life of the gas shower head and improving the stability of the control of the gas flow field.

Several circles of second gas through holes 202 are arranged in the second annular gas distribution area, and an annular isolation area is arranged between two adjacent annular gas distribution areas, and no gas through holes are arranged on the annular isolation area. In this embodiment, the annular gas distribution area (the first annular gas distribution area or the second annular gas distribution area) and the annular isolation area are radially arranged alternately.

The residence time on the (substrate) surface improves the use efficiency of the reaction gas. The swirling air flow can also make the reaction gas flow in the circumferential direction, and improve the asymmetry of the air flow distribution at different phase angles caused by the suction port and other asymmetric cavity parts during vertical air intake. In this way, the reactant gas is distributed more uniformly in the angular direction, thereby improving the side edge defect of the etching result caused by the gas flow distribution.

如圖5所示,與上述實施例一的區別在於,所述第一環形氣體分佈區,可以為兩個,兩個相鄰設置的所述第一環形氣體分佈區均環繞所述第二環形氣體分佈區設置。兩個所述第一環形氣體分佈區中的第一氣體通孔203的傾斜方向一致,均沿圓周方向進行傾斜,兩個所述第一環形氣體分佈區中的第一氣體通孔203的傾斜角度可以相同也可以不同,每個第一環形氣體分佈區中的第一氣體通孔203在氣體分佈板100進氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離和出氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離相等;所述第二氣體通孔204在氣體分佈板100進氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離和出氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離相等。可以理解的是,所述第一環形氣體分佈區也可以為多個,多個所述第一環形氣體分佈區均環繞設置在所述第二環形氣體分佈區外圍,或者,多個所述第一環形氣體分佈區與所述第二環形氣體分佈區沿徑向間隔設置,靠近所述氣體分佈板100的邊緣的氣體分佈區為所述第一環形氣體分佈區,但本案不以此為限。在本實施例中,由於設置兩個或多個所述第一環形氣 體分佈區,反應氣體經所述第一環形氣體分佈區的第一氣體通孔203噴出,反應氣體在噴淋頭和晶圓之間的反應空間內的氣流路徑呈類似於螺旋狀,所述螺旋狀的氣流延長了反應氣體在所述氣體噴淋盤至等離子體約束環之間的氣體路徑,由此延長了反應氣體在晶圓(基片)表面的停留時間,提高了反應氣體使用效率。 As shown in FIG. 5 , the difference from the first embodiment above is that there may be two first annular gas distribution areas, and two adjacent first annular gas distribution areas are arranged around the second annular gas distribution area. The inclination directions of the first gas through holes 203 in the two first annular gas distribution areas are the same, and they are all inclined along the circumferential direction. The inclination angles of the first gas through holes 203 in the two first annular gas distribution areas can be the same or different. The distance from the center to the central axis is equal to the distance from the center of the opening on the air outlet surface to the central axis. It can be understood that there may be multiple first annular gas distribution areas, and multiple first annular gas distribution areas are arranged around the periphery of the second annular gas distribution area, or multiple first annular gas distribution areas and the second annular gas distribution area are radially spaced apart, and the gas distribution area near the edge of the gas distribution plate 100 is the first annular gas distribution area, but this case is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, since two or more of the first annular gas The reaction gas is ejected through the first gas through hole 203 of the first annular gas distribution area, and the gas flow path of the reaction gas in the reaction space between the shower head and the wafer is similar to a spiral, and the spiral gas flow prolongs the gas path of the reaction gas between the gas spray plate and the plasma confinement ring, thereby prolonging the residence time of the reaction gas on the surface of the wafer (substrate) and improving the use efficiency of the reaction gas.

實施例三 Embodiment three

如圖6所示,與上述實施例二的區別在於,兩個所述第一環形氣體分佈區中的第一氣體通孔205的傾斜方向相反,且所述第一氣體通孔205在氣體分佈板100進氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離和出氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離相等;所述第二氣體通孔206在氣體分佈板100進氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離和出氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線的距離相等。如此設計可以在每個第一環形氣體分佈區內形成方向不同的螺旋狀的氣流,進一步調節氣體的流動方向。可以理解的是,所述第一環形氣體分佈區也可以為多個,多個所述第一環形氣體分佈區均環繞設置在所述第二環形氣體分佈區外圍,多個所述第一環形氣體分佈區中位於同一所述第一環形氣體分佈區中第一氣體通孔205的傾斜方向相同,位於不同的所述第一環形氣體分佈區中的所述第一氣體通孔205的傾斜方向不同。在本實施例中,由於設置兩個或多個所述第一環形氣體分佈區,反應氣體經所述第一環形氣體分佈區的第一氣體通孔205噴出,反應氣體在噴淋頭和晶圓之間的反應空間內的氣流路徑呈類似於螺旋狀,所述螺旋狀的氣流延長了反應氣體在所述氣體噴淋盤至等離子體約束環之間的氣體路徑,由此延長了反應氣體在晶圓(基片)表面的停留時間,提高了反應氣體使用效率。 As shown in FIG. 6 , the difference from the second embodiment above is that the inclination directions of the first gas through holes 205 in the two first annular gas distribution areas are opposite, and the distance from the center of the opening of the first gas through holes 205 on the gas inlet surface of the gas distribution plate 100 to the central axis is equal to the distance from the center of the opening on the gas outlet surface to the central axis; Such a design can form spiral airflows with different directions in each first annular gas distribution area, further adjusting the flow direction of the gas. It can be understood that the first annular gas distribution area can also be multiple, and the plurality of first annular gas distribution areas are arranged around the periphery of the second annular gas distribution area. Among the multiple first annular gas distribution areas, the inclination directions of the first gas through holes 205 in the same first annular gas distribution area are the same, and the inclination directions of the first gas through holes 205 in different first annular gas distribution areas are different. In this embodiment, due to the arrangement of two or more first annular gas distribution areas, the reaction gas is ejected through the first gas through-hole 205 of the first annular gas distribution area, and the gas flow path of the reaction gas in the reaction space between the shower head and the wafer is similar to a spiral shape, and the spiral air flow prolongs the gas path of the reaction gas between the gas spray plate and the plasma confinement ring, thus prolonging the residence time of the reaction gas on the surface of the wafer (substrate) and improving the use efficiency of the reaction gas.

在一些其他的實施例中,所述第一氣體通孔既可以沿氣體分佈板的圓周方向傾斜,也可以同時在徑向方向具有分量,即所述第一氣體通孔有向 所述中心軸線O-O’的傾斜的趨勢。此種設計的目的在於經所述第一氣體通孔中流出的反應氣體會向中心區域方向流動,同時對其他環形氣體分佈區的氣流產生向中心方向流動的拉力,以延長反應氣體及等離子體在基片表面的停留時間。 In some other embodiments, the first gas through holes can be inclined along the circumferential direction of the gas distribution plate, and can also have a component in the radial direction at the same time, that is, the first gas through holes are oriented The tendency of the inclination of the central axis O-O'. The purpose of this design is that the reaction gas flowing out of the first gas passage hole will flow toward the central region, and at the same time, generate a pulling force toward the center for the gas flow in other annular gas distribution regions, so as to prolong the residence time of the reaction gas and plasma on the substrate surface.

實施例四 Embodiment Four

如圖7所示,基於上述實施例一~實施例三,在本實施例中,所述氣體通孔還包括若干個第三氣體通孔208,所述第三氣體通孔208形成一第三環形氣體分佈區,所述第三環形氣體分佈區位於所述第一環形氣體分佈區(其圖7中標號207為第一氣體通孔)和所述第二環形氣體分佈區(其圖7中標號209為第二氣體通孔)之間,所述第一環形氣體分佈區環繞設置在所述第三環形氣體分佈區外圍;所述第三氣體通孔208在氣體分佈板100進氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線O-O’的距離大於同一所述第三氣體通孔208在氣體分佈板100出氣面上的開口中心到所述中心軸線O-O’的距離。由此可知,所述第三氣體通孔208的設置可以對氣流方向產生指向圓心的拉力,避免外圍反應氣體迅速向外擴散排出。由此進一步延長了反應氣體在晶圓(基片)表面的停留時間,提高了反應氣體使用效率。 As shown in FIG. 7 , based on the first to third embodiments above, in this embodiment, the gas through holes also include several third gas through holes 208, the third gas through holes 208 form a third annular gas distribution area, the third annular gas distribution area is located between the first annular gas distribution area (the number 207 in FIG. The distance from the opening center of the third gas through hole 208 on the gas distribution plate 100 inlet surface to the central axis O-O’ is greater than the distance from the opening center of the same third gas through hole 208 on the gas distribution plate 100 gas outlet surface to the central axis O-O’. It can be seen from this that the arrangement of the third gas through hole 208 can generate a pulling force pointing to the center of the gas flow direction, so as to prevent the peripheral reactant gas from rapidly diffusing outward and being discharged. Thus, the residence time of the reaction gas on the surface of the wafer (substrate) is further prolonged, and the use efficiency of the reaction gas is improved.

在一些其他的實施例中,所述第三環形氣體分佈區環繞設置在所述第一環形氣體分佈區的外圍,在所述第一環形氣體分佈區形成渦旋狀氣流分佈的同時,所述第三環形氣體分佈區進一步對氣流方向產生指向圓心的拉力,延長了反應氣體在反應腔內的停留時間,提高了反應氣體使用效率。 In some other embodiments, the third annular gas distribution area is arranged around the periphery of the first annular gas distribution area. When the first annular gas distribution area forms a vortex-shaped gas flow distribution, the third annular gas distribution area further generates a pulling force toward the center of the gas flow direction, which prolongs the residence time of the reaction gas in the reaction chamber and improves the use efficiency of the reaction gas.

在一些其他的實施例中,所述第三氣體通孔208既可以沿氣體分佈板100的半徑方向傾斜,也可以同時在圓周方向和半徑方向具有分量,即所述第三氣體通孔208有向所述中心軸線O-O’的傾斜的趨勢。此種設計的目的在於經所述第三氣體通孔208中流出的反應氣體會向中心區域方向流動,同時對其他環形 氣體分佈區的氣流產生向中心方向流動的拉力,以延長反應氣體及等離子體在基片表面的停留時間。 In some other embodiments, the third gas through hole 208 can be inclined along the radial direction of the gas distribution plate 100, or can have components in the circumferential direction and the radial direction at the same time, that is, the third gas through hole 208 has a tendency to incline toward the central axis O-O'. The purpose of this design is that the reaction gas flowing out through the third gas passage hole 208 will flow towards the central area, while the other annular The gas flow in the gas distribution area generates a pulling force flowing toward the center, so as to prolong the residence time of the reaction gas and plasma on the surface of the substrate.

在一些其他的實施例中,同一所述環形氣體分佈區中的所述氣體通孔具有相同或不同的傾斜方向和角度。 In some other embodiments, the gas passage holes in the same annular gas distribution area have the same or different inclination directions and angles.

在本案描述的多種實施例中,為了便於對比進氣面和出氣面上的氣體通孔分佈,都假設了氣體通孔具有相同的傾斜角度,實際工作中,由於反應氣體在上電極和下電極之間的分佈與氣體通孔在出氣面上的分佈有很大關係,因此氣體通孔在氣體分佈板上的傾斜角度需要根據實際需要進行設置,可以設置為相同,也可以設置為不同。 In the various embodiments described in this case, in order to facilitate the comparison of the distribution of the gas through holes on the gas inlet surface and the gas outlet surface, it is assumed that the gas through holes have the same inclination angle. In actual work, since the distribution of the reaction gas between the upper electrode and the lower electrode has a great relationship with the distribution of the gas through holes on the gas outlet surface, the inclination angle of the gas through holes on the gas distribution plate needs to be set according to actual needs, and can be set to be the same or different.

在一些其他的實施例中,所述第一環形氣體分佈區包括若干所述第三氣體通孔和第一氣體通孔。由此可知,所述第一環形氣體分佈區包括兩種氣體通孔時,由此,從所述第一氣體通孔中噴出的氣流路徑呈類似於螺旋狀,所述螺旋狀的氣流延長了反應氣體在所述氣體噴淋盤至等離子體約束環之間的氣體路徑,所述第三氣體通孔中流出的反應氣體會向中心區域方向流動,同時對其他環形氣體分佈區的氣流產生向中心方向流動的拉力,以延長反應氣體及等離子體在基片表面的停留時間;由此進一步延長了反應氣體在晶圓(基片)表面的停留時間,提高了反應氣體使用效率。 In some other embodiments, the first annular gas distribution area includes several third gas through holes and first gas through holes. It can be seen that when the first annular gas distribution area includes two kinds of gas through holes, the gas flow path ejected from the first gas through hole is similar to a spiral shape, and the helical air flow prolongs the gas path of the reaction gas between the gas shower plate and the plasma confinement ring, and the reaction gas flowing out of the third gas through hole will flow toward the center area, and at the same time, the gas flow in other annular gas distribution areas will generate a pulling force to flow toward the center direction, so as to prolong the residence time of the reaction gas and plasma on the substrate surface; ) The residence time on the surface improves the use efficiency of the reaction gas.

在本案描述的多種實施例中,為了便於對比進氣面和出氣面上的第三氣體通孔分佈,都假設了第三氣體通孔的傾斜方向為朝向圓心方向或者背離圓心方向,實際工作中,由於反應氣體在上電極和下電極之間的分佈與氣體通孔在出氣面上的分佈有很大關係,因此第三氣體通孔在氣體分佈板上的傾斜方向需要根據實際需要進行設置,可以設置為任何需要的方向。 In the various embodiments described in this case, in order to compare the distribution of the third gas through holes on the gas inlet surface and the gas outlet surface, it is assumed that the inclination direction of the third gas through holes is toward the center of the circle or away from the center of the circle. In actual work, since the distribution of the reaction gas between the upper electrode and the lower electrode has a great relationship with the distribution of the gas through holes on the gas outlet surface, the inclination direction of the third gas through holes on the gas distribution plate needs to be set according to actual needs, and can be set to any desired direction.

During plasma etching, the plasma mainly erodes the opening of the annular groove 101, thereby protecting the opening of the gas through hole to ensure that the gas flow direction does not change as the shower head is eroded, thereby increasing the life of the gas shower head and improving the stability of the control of the gas flow field.

在一些其他的實施例中,所述第三環形氣體分佈區中的氣體通孔的出氣口位於所述環形凹槽內101。 In some other embodiments, the gas outlets of the gas passage holes in the third annular gas distribution area are located in the annular groove 101 .
