Definitions
- FIGS. 1A-E are a schematic illustration of a method for cleaning or reclaiming a process film coated component according to one of the embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of a cleaning method of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of a method of controlling chamber component temperature during cleaning chemistry spraying.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of a chamber component spraying apparatus of the invention.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic drawing of another chamber component spraying apparatus of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic drawing of another chamber component spraying apparatus of the invention.
- the components may be dipped into an acid bath to remove an unintentional coating or film.
- the acid bath dip may result in a violent reaction which may be undesirable.
- a tremendous amount of heat may be produced by the reaction so that a chiller may be needed to cool the process to an operating temperature at which the equipment is not over heated.
- the unintentional coating on the equipment may not be even.
- PVD physical vapor deposition
- the top of the shields near the target or source may accumulate a thicker, denser coating than the bottom of the shields near the substrate.
- Over-etching may damage the shields and may cause future unintentional coatings to shed onto a substrate being processed. Shedding of particles onto a substrate may cause defects in the substrate that may render the substrate inoperative.
- contamination control is a major issue for manufacturers of semiconductor devices, flat panel displays and solar power panels.
- the present invention provides methods and apparatus for cleaning coatings from the surfaces of processing equipment.
- the applicants have discovered that by spraying a cleaning chemistry onto a part, rather than by dipping the part into the cleaning chemistry, enhanced cleaning of processing equipment parts may be obtained.
- the enhanced cleaning may be obtained with less etching of the parts themselves and with less etching of any intentional coating of the part.
- the part may then be pressure washed with DI water, for example, and then may be treated with potassium hydroxide. Finally, the part may be re-rinsed with the DI water.
- FIGS. 1A-1E are a schematic illustration of a method for cleaning (or reclaiming) a process-film coated component according to one of the embodiments of the invention.
- the starting point in FIG. 1A may be a chamber component 102 .
- a chamber component may be made from aluminum, stainless steel or a ceramic.
- the chamber components may be made from aluminum.
- new chamber components 102 may be intentionally covered with a coating 104 .
- This may be referred to herein as an “intentional coating.”
- the coating may, for example, be a protective layer, or a layer which gives the component proper electrical properties in order to be compatible with a plasma environment.
- the coating may minimize contamination of substrates within the chamber.
- One intentional coating 104 is a twin wire arc spray (“TWAS”) coating of aluminum, copper, nickel, molybdenum, or zinc, for example. Other intentional coatings may be used.
- TWAS coating process may include two wires which form an electric arc. Molten metal which results from the arcing metal wires may be atomized by compressed air and sprayed upon a component to form a coating.
- the resulting intentionally coated component may have a roughness which promotes adhesion of PVD materials to the component. This may help prevent unintentionally coated PVD materials from breaking off and contaminating the surface of a substrate.
- Other components such as the ones listed earlier, may also be coated by a TWAS processes.
- adhesion of other process materials such as, for example, CVD films, and etching by-products, etc., as discussed earlier may be enhanced by the TWAS or other intentional coating.
- the next layer may be the accumulated process material layer or unintentional coating 106 .
- the unintentional coating material may vary.
- Common accumulated process films in PVD equipment may include copper (Cu), ruthenium (Ru), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti) and/or titanium nitride (TiN), titanium tungsten (TiW) and tantalum (Ta) and/or tantalum nitride (TaN).
- Unintentional coatings on etching equipment are usually polymeric.
- Unintentional coatings on CVD chambers may be silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbon, doped silicon oxides, oxygenated silicon carbon films (often referred to as SiCOH).
- the first cleaning or reclaiming step takes place.
- the chamber component 102 with intentional 104 and unintentional 106 coatings or films is exposed to a cleaning chemistry spray.
- This cleaning chemistry spray may preferentially remove or etch the unintentional coating 106 as compared to the intentional coating 104 and/or chamber component material itself.
- the unintentional coating 106 may be TaN/Ta and the intentional layer 104 may be a TWAS deposited aluminum layer on an aluminum chamber component 102 .
- Spraying the cleaning chemistry on the component, as opposed to dipping the component in the cleaning chemistry may have several advantages. First, with a spray, the direction of the chemical can be more readily controlled.
- areas with thick unintentional coating can be exposed to a chemical for a longer time than areas of thin unintentional coating. Accordingly, the thick areas of unintentional coating may be completely or substantially cleaned without over-etching the thin areas of unintentional coating. For example, it may take only 30 minutes to remove a thin unintentional coating, whereas it may take about 2 hours to remove a thick or dense unintentional coating.
- spraying a chemical may use less chemical than dipping into a chemical bath uses. For example, a spray process may use a few gallons of chemical (which can be collected and recycled via an automated spray system) whereas a bath may use 20 gallons of chemical. A spray process also generates less heat than a dipping bath process and therefore, the spray process may be safer and the use of a chiller may not be required in spray systems.
- portions of a chamber component which have not accumulated unintentional coating may be masked so that the cleaning chemistry spray will not etch the chamber component or the intentional coating.
- the spray chemistry may vary depending upon the identity of the unintentional film 106 , the intentional film 104 and the substrate 102 .
- an effective selective chemistry may be 15:85 ratio of hydrogen fluoride (HF) to nitric acid (HNO 3 ) or the same ratio of hydrogen chloride (HCl) to nitric acid (HNO 3 ).
- the nitric acid may be commercial grade which may provide a cost benefit.
- the ratio may vary somewhat, a 20:80 ratio of the same constituents may also be effective for selective stripping of TaN/Ta from an Al coating or component.
- the majority, if not all of the unintentional coating 106 may be removed from the thickly accumulated areas (top of the shield near a source/target, for example), while the thinly coated areas may not be over-etched.
- step 1 C the component is power washed with DI water to remove the cleaning chemistry and perhaps to remove some (if any exists) of the remaining unintentional coating 106 (TaN/Ta, for example).
- the pressure of the pressure washing step can vary widely, from 500 to 2000 p.s.i. However, it is expected that for most applications, 1000 p.s.i will suffice.
- the intentional coating 104 (TWAS Al, for example) is removed with a dilute potassium hydroxide (KOH) mixture.
- KOH potassium hydroxide
- the degree of dilution may vary from about 6% KOH up to 25% KOH.
- the KOH may be sprayed on the component, or the component may be dipped in a bath of KOH.
- any of the unintentional coating 106 remains on the chamber component 102 , it is expected that the KOH step will under-cut the fragmented unintentional coating 106 . Such undercutting may help to remove any remaining fragmented unintentional coating 106 .
- the size of a PVD shield it is expected to take about 60 to 90 minutes to remove the intentional coating 104 with a dilute KOH treatment.
- the component may be washed with DI water at about 40 p.s.i following the KOH treatment.
- the cleaned component (PVD shield, for example) is ready for grit-blasting and an application of a new intentional layer 106 (TWAS Al, in the example of a PVD shield) so that the component can be re-installed in a processing chamber.
- TWAS Al a new intentional layer 106
- Details of the grit-blasting process and deposition of the intentional layer can be found in commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 6,812,471 by Popiolkokwski et al., filed on Jul. 17, 2003, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,933,508 also by Popiolkokwski et al., filed on Mar. 13, 2002, which are incorporated herein in their entireties for all purposes.
- FIGS. 1A-1E illustrate a cleaning method of the invention and its effect on a surface of a component.
- FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of one embodiment of the cleaning method 200 of the invention.
- Method 200 begins in step 202 .
- a component to be cleaned is provided wherein the component has an unintentional coating.
- the unintentional coating corresponds to layer 106 of FIGS. 1A-E .
- the cleaning process may also be thought of as a reclaiming process or a stripping process.
