Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an apparatus for thermally processing a substrate.
- embodiments of the present invention relate to simplified, high voltage, tungsten halogen lamps for use as a source of heat radiation in a rapid thermal processing (RTP) chamber or other lamp heated thermal processing chambers.
- RTP rapid thermal processing
- thermal radiation is generally used to rapidly heat a substrate in a controlled environment to a maximum temperature of up to about 1350° C. This maximum temperature is maintained for a specific amount of time ranging from less than one second to several minutes depending on the particular process. The substrate is then cooled to room temperature for further processing.
- High voltage, e.g., about 40 volts to about 130 volts, tungsten halogen lamps are commonly used as the source of heat radiation in RTP chambers.
- High voltage tungsten halogen lamps require a fuse in the circuit to prevent arcing and potential explosion in the lamp during lamp failure.
- Providing the fuse internal to the capsule of the lamp is difficult to implement due to small capsule size and potential contamination affecting the halogen cycle.
- Providing the fuse in the press seal of the lamp may result in undesirable cracking or breaking of the press seal.
- Current lamp designs include a number of additional components (e.g., stainless steel tube, ceramic potting compound, plugs) in order to provide a fuse external to the capsule and press seal while providing sufficient rigidity to the leads for mating to a heating assembly base of an RTP chamber.

- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an apparatus for thermally processing a substrate. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to simplified, high voltage, tungsten halogen lamps for use as a source of heat radiation in a rapid thermal processing (RTP) chamber or other lamp heated thermal processing chambers.
- During RTP of substrates, thermal radiation is generally used to rapidly heat a substrate in a controlled environment to a maximum temperature of up to about 1350° C. This maximum temperature is maintained for a specific amount of time ranging from less than one second to several minutes depending on the particular process. The substrate is then cooled to room temperature for further processing.
- High voltage, e.g., about 40 volts to about 130 volts, tungsten halogen lamps are commonly used as the source of heat radiation in RTP chambers. High voltage tungsten halogen lamps require a fuse in the circuit to prevent arcing and potential explosion in the lamp during lamp failure. Providing the fuse internal to the capsule of the lamp is difficult to implement due to small capsule size and potential contamination affecting the halogen cycle. Providing the fuse in the press seal of the lamp may result in undesirable cracking or breaking of the press seal. Thus, it is desirable to incorporate the fuse external to the capsule and press seal. Current lamp designs include a number of additional components (e.g., stainless steel tube, ceramic potting compound, plugs) in order to provide a fuse external to the capsule and press seal while providing sufficient rigidity to the leads for mating to a heating assembly base of an RTP chamber.
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide a simplified, high voltage, tungsten halogen lamp design to reduce cost and provide arc protection during lamp failure.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, a lamp assembly comprises a capsule having a filament disposed therein, a press seal extending from the capsule and configured to hermetically seal the capsule, a first lead and a second lead, a third lead extending from the press seal, and a fuse electrically coupling the third lead to one of the first and second leads external to the press seal and capsule. Each of the first and second leads is electrically coupled to the filament within the press seal and extends from the press seal. The third lead is electrically isolated from the first and second leads within the press seal.
- In another embodiment, a lamp assembly comprises a capsule having a filament disposed therein, a press seal extending from the capsule and configured to hermetically seal the capsule, a first lead and a second lead, an insulative sleeve coupled to the first lead external to the press seal, a third lead coupled to the insulative sleeve, and a fuse electrically coupling the first lead to the third lead. Each of the first and second leads is electrically coupled to the filament within the press seal and extends from the press seal.
- In yet another embodiment, a lamp assembly comprises a capsule having a filament disposed therein, a press seal extending from the capsule and configured to hermetically seal the capsule, a first lead and a second lead, an insulative sleeve coupled to the press seal, a third lead coupled to the insulative sleeve, and a fuse electrically coupling the first lead to the third lead. Each of the first and second leads is electrically coupled to the filament within the press seal and extends from the press seal. At least the first lead extends into the insulative sleeve.
- So that the manner in which the above recited features of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic, cross-sectional view of anRTP chamber 100 in which embodiments of the present invention are used. TheRTP chamber 100 includessidewalls 102, achamber bottom 104 coupled to thesidewalls 102, and aquartz window 106 disposed over thesidewalls 102. Thesidewalls 102, thechamber bottom 104, and thequartz window 106 define aninner volume 108 for processing asubstrate 110 therein. - A
slit valve door 116 may be formed through thesidewalls 102 for transferring a substrate therethrough. TheRTP chamber 100 is coupled to agas source 118 configured to provide one or more processing gases to theinner volume 108 during processing. Avacuum pump 120 may be coupled to theRTP chamber 100 for pumping out theinner volume 108. - A
substrate positioning assembly 122 is disposed in theinner volume 108 and configured to support, position, and/or rotate thesubstrate 110 during processing. Particularly, thesubstrate positioning assembly 122 may be a non-contact substrate supporting device using flows of fluid to support, position, and/or rotate thesubstrate 110. - A
heating assembly 112 is disposed above thequartz window 106 and configured to direct thermal energy towards theinner volume 108 through thequartz window 106. Theheating assembly 112 includes a plurality oflamps 114, such as high voltage tungsten halogen lamps disposed in a hexagonal pattern and controllable in zones to provide controlled heating to different zones of theinner volume 108. Each of the plurality oflamps 114 is inserted into aheating assembly base 117 for electrical connection to a power supply (not shown). -
FIG. 2 (prior art) is a schematic, cross-sectional view of a prior art tungstenhalogen lamp assembly 200 for use in an RTP chamber such as theRTP chamber 100. Thelamp assembly 200 includes aquartz capsule 202 housing atungsten filament 204. Tungsten leads 206 extend from thefilament 204 and are each attached (e.g., welded) tomolybdenum foil 208. Molybdenum leads 210 are attached to (e.g., welded) and extend from themolybdenum foil 208. Aquartz press seal 212 encapsulates and creates a hermetic seal about themolybdenum foil 208. The molybdenum leads 210 extend out of thepress seal 212 for electrical connection. - The
press seal 212 and molybdenum leads 210 are inserted into astainless steel cylinder 214, where the molybdenum leads 210 are connected (e.g., welded) to aconductive pin assembly 216 extending through thecylinder 214. Afuse 218 is serially attached between at least one of the molybdenum leads 210 and theconductive pin assembly 216. Thecylinder 214 is then filled with aceramic potting compound 215, and the end of thecylinder 214 is sealed with aplastic plug 220. Theplastic plug 220 hasconductive pins 222 extending therethrough and electrically connected to theconductive pin assembly 216. Theconductive pins 222 are inserted into a heating assembly base, such as the base 117 fromFIG. 1 , for connection to a power supply. - The
lamp assembly 200 includes features having a number of drawbacks. For example, thelamp assembly 200 has a number of expensive parts, such as thestainless steel cylinder 214 and theplastic plug 220, of which it would be beneficial to eliminate. In addition, the ceramic potting compound provides rigidity to allow thefuse 218 connection to withstand compressive forces of inserting thelamp assembly 200 into a heating assembly base. However, the potting compound is a porous material that can potentially introduce organic contamination into the RTP chamber. Thus, a simplified lamp assembly design eliminating a number of the parts of prior art lamp designs is desirable. -
FIGS. 3A-3F are schematic depictions of high voltage, tungsten halogen lamp assembly designs according to embodiments of the present invention for use in an RTP chamber, such as theRTP chamber 100 or other lamp heated thermal processing chambers. Thelamp assembly 300 depicted in each of these Figures includes aquartz capsule 302 housing atungsten filament 304. Tungsten leads 306 a, 306 b extend from thefilament 304 and are each attached (e.g., welded) tomolybdenum foil molybdenum foil quartz press seal 312 encapsulates and creates a hermetic seal about themolybdenum foil press seal 312. - Each of the
lamp assemblies 300 inFIGS. 3A-3B also includes athird lead 311 extending from thepress seal 312. Each of theleads 311 includes ahook portion 313 on the end that is encapsulated within thepress seal 312 to provide better attachment and stability of thelead 311. In one embodiment, thehook portion 313 is a right angle bend in thelead 311. Each of the third leads 311 is electrically isolated from theleads press seal 312 via the quartz material making up thepress seal 312. In addition, each of thelamp assemblies 300 includes afuse 318 electrically connected between one of theleads lead 311. Thefuse 318 composition is from the same family of metals used for lamp fuses, e.g., nickel, zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, and alloys thereof. Although shown as a wire or ribbon, thefuse 318 may include an insulating encasement. - In the embodiment depicted in
FIG. 3A , thelead 310 a includes abend 315 within thepress seal 312 and astraight portion 317 that extends from thebend 315 through thepress seal 312 substantially parallel to thelead 310 b. Thethird lead 311 is slightly offset from the lead 310 a and extends from thepress seal 312 substantially parallel to thelead 310 b. Thefuse 318 laterally extends between the lead 311 and the lead 310 a, such that thefuse 318 is substantially perpendicular to thelead 311 and the lead 310 a. - In the embodiment depicted in
FIG. 3B , each of theleads press seal 312 substantially parallel to one another.

Thelead 311 includes a secondstraight portion 323 extending from thebend portion 321 and substantially parallel to thelead 310 b. Thefuse 318 extends between the lead 310 a and thebend portion 321 of thelead 311. - In the embodiment depicted in
FIG. 3C , each of theleads press seal 312 substantially parallel to one another. Thethird lead 311 is embedded in thepress seal 312 between the leads 310 and has a firststraight portion 319 extending from thepress seal 312 substantially parallel to theleads lead 311 includes abend portion 321 extending from the firststraight portion 319 external to thepress seal 312. Thelead 311 includes a secondstraight portion 323 extending from thebend portion 321 and substantially parallel to thelead 310 b. The secondstraight portion 323 of thelead 311 is substantially in-line with the lead 310 a. Thefuse 318 extends between the lead 310 a and the secondstraight portion 323 of thelead 311, such that the lead 310 a, thefuse 318, and the secondstraight portion 323 of thelead 311 are substantially in-line. - Therefore, each of the
lamp assemblies 300 depicted inFIGS. 3A-3C , provides for connection between theleads heating assembly base 117 while eliminating a number of parts (e.g., stainless steel cylinder, plug, ceramic potting compound) from prior art high voltage, tungsten halogen lamps. In addition, the additionalthird lead 311 provides the rigidity to absorb the compressive forces applied during insertion of thelamp 300 into the heating base 117 (i.e., prevents thefuse 318 from undergoing compression). - Although
FIGS. 3A-3C depict only the lead 310 a connected to thefuse 318, either lead 310 a or 310 b could be connected to thefuse 318. In another embodiment shown inFIGS. 3D-3F , twoleads 311 are provided and each of theleads fuse 318 in substantially the same configurations shown inFIGS. 3A-3C , i.e., both thelead 310 b is connected to anadditional lead 311 in the same manner aslead 310 a is shown connected to thelead 311. Additionally, each of theleads -
FIGS. 4A-4F are schematic depictions of high voltage, tungsten halogen lamp assembly designs according to embodiments of the present invention for use in an RTP chamber, such as theRTP chamber 100 or other lamp heated thermal processing chambers.

Thefuse 418 composition is from the same family of metals used for lamp fuses, e.g., nickel, zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, and alloys thereof. Theconductive pin 414, theinsulative sleeve 416, thefuse 418, and theconductive pin 420 provide a rigid, conductive extension for inserting thelamp assembly 400 into theheating base 116. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 4A , theinsulative sleeve 416 has a thinmetallic layer 422 deposited over theinner surface 417 of thesleeve 416. The equivalent cross-section of the metallic layer 422 (normal to the current flow) approximately corresponds to that of a fuse wire or ribbon designed for this application. Likewise themetallic layer 422 composition is from the same family of metals used for lamp fuses, e.g., nickel, zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, and alloys thereof. The lead 410 a and theconductive pin 420 are electrically connected to themetallic layer 422, e.g., soldered or brazed. The thinmetallic layer 422 is constructed to act as thefuse 418. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 4B , theinsulative sleeve 416 has a thinmetallic trace 424 deposited along one side of theinner surface 417 of thesleeve 416. The lead 410 a and theconductive pin 420 are fixed to thesleeve 416 in electrical contact with thetrace 424, which acts as thefuse 418. The lead 410 a and theconductive pin 420 may be attached to thesleeve 416 using a ceramic compound, a high temperature epoxy, a high temperature phenolic resin, or shrink tubing, for example. Thetrace 424 can be extended to cover the entire inner diameter for a short axial extent at the top and bottom of theinsulative sleeve 416 to permit attachment of thesleeve 416 to theconductive pin 420 and the lead 410 a by soldering or brazing. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 4C , awire fuse 418 is attached (e.g., welded, soldered) to the lead 410 a and extends through theinsulative sleeve 416. Thefuse 418 is further attached (e.g., welded, soldered) to theconductive pin 420. The lead 410 a and theconductive pin 420 may be attached to thesleeve 416 using a ceramic compound, a high temperature epoxy, a high temperature phenolic resin, or shrink tubing, for example. For any of the designs shown inFIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C , theinsulative sleeve 416 may be filled with low melting point glass beads or insulating particles to act as an arc quenching ballotini type fuse. - Therefore, each of the
lamp assemblies 400 depicted inFIGS. 4A-4C , provides for connection between theleads conductive pins heating assembly base 117 while eliminating a number of parts (e.g., stainless steel cylinder, plug, ceramic potting compound) from prior art high voltage, tungsten halogen lamps. In addition, the insulative tube configuration provides the rigidity to absorb the compressive forces applied during insertion of thelamp assembly 400 into theheating base 117. - Although each of the
FIGS. 4A-4C depict aconductive pin 414 attached to thelead 410 b, in an additional embodiment shown inFIGS. 4D-4F , thelead 410 b is attached to an additional insulative sleeve 416 (e.g., ceramic or plastic sleeve), anadditional fuse 418, and an additionalconductive pin 420 in the same manner as shown with regard to lead 410 a. Additionally, each of thepins -

Thefuse 518 extends through thesleeve 516, and is electrically connected (e.g., welded, soldered) to thecap 520. Thecap 520 may be crimped over asecond flange portion 525 of thesleeve 516 to secure the connection. - Therefore, each of the
lamp assemblies 500 depicted inFIGS. 5A-5B , provides for connection between theleads conductive pin 514 andcap 520 into a heating assembly base, such as theheating assembly base 116 while eliminating a number of parts (e.g., stainless steel cylinder, plug, ceramic potting compound) from prior art high voltage, tungsten halogen lamps. In addition, the insulative tube configuration provides the rigidity to absorb the compressive forces applied during insertion of thelamp assembly 500 into theheating base 116. - Although in each of the
