- FIG 3' is a diagrammatic representation of FIG.
- the invention comprehends a furnace structure of minimized thermal mass utilizing flat parallel radiant heat diffuser plates juxtaposed in close proximity on opposite sides of coextending semicons ductor wafers supported on radiant heat opaque and absorbing plate disposed within a chamber defined within a radiant heat transparent tube.
- the processing tube is of rectangular configuration with an optimized aspect ratio of height to width to enable an even flow of gasses across the wafers during processing cycles.
- the opaque'radiant heat absorbing support is radiantly heated by an adjacent heater plate means while concurrently an opposite heater plate means is similarly heating the support by transmission of the radiant heat through the wafer, whereby 30 to 70 percent of the heating thereof is by conduction from its support.
- a further object of this invention is a novel furnace characterized with flexibility to change temperaturesso as to adapt the furnace to in-situ multiprocessing capabilities which normally require a pluralityof conventional furnaces with attendant ambient temperature exposure on transfer of wafers between them.
- An additional object of this invention is to provide a novel furnace of simplified design characterized with low capital cost having provision for gas processing atmospheres and which is easy to maintain, replace and replicate.
- a still further object of this invention is a novel furnace adapted to process semiconductor wafers of various sizes.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partly in section, of one embodiment of this invention.
- FIG. 1A is an explanatory drawing of details of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partly in section of a modifiedreactor tube employed in this invention.
- FIG. 3 is a static profile of the thermal characteristics of a furnace in accordance with this invention.
- FIG. 4 is a dynamic profile of dynamic thermal characteristics of a furnace in accordance with this invention.
- the furnace of the invention in the basic configuration comprises a cabinet I through which extends a radiant heat transparent processing tube 2 as for example, a quartz'tube havingwalls of Va inch thickness, and defining within it a high temperature processing chamber 3.
- the tube as shown is of rectangular cross-section having an internal width in the range of about 1.3 inches to 20 inches and an internal height in the range of about 3/ 16 inches to about 1 inch. In a typical application, the tube can have an internal width and height of 7.12 inches and 0.50 inches, respectively, and an overall length of 23 inches.
- One end 4 of tube 2 is open, and the other end 5 is tapered and provided with a gas inlet 6 connected through suitable valving to required processing gas sources.
- baffle 7 extending to within a range of about 30 mils to about one fourth inch from the inner surface 8 of the tube bottom wall 9.
- a second baffle 10 also projects upwardly from the bottom tube wall 9 to define a gap with the inner surface of tube top wall 11 in the range of about 30 mils to about 1/4 inch.
- the top wall 11 and bottom wall 9, of tube 2 extend in spaced parallel relationship to each other, with baffles 7 and 10 extending across the width of tube 2.
- each of baffles 7 and 10 defined gaps of about 55 mils with the tube walls toward which they project.
- the upwardly projecting baffle 10 can function if desired as a-stop of a wafer support or boat 12 which is inserted into the interior of tube 2 for positioning wafers 13 (of about 15 to 18 mils thickness) therein for processing.
- the support 12 is preferably opaque to and absorbing of radiant heat supplied by a plurality of radiant heat diffuser plates 14, normally comprised of four plates units 14 juxtaposed on top of tube 2, and four plate units juxtaposed at the bottom of tube 2 (see FIG. 3).
- the thickness of wafer support or boat 12 will have a thickness which will position wafers 13 in parallel relationship to the tube top and bottom walls 9 and 11, respectively, and also substantially midway therebetween.
- the wafer boat 12 can be ofquartz which is rendered opaque to radiant heat by surface roughening and will have a thickness in the range of about one sixteenth inch to about one fourth inch. For a specific furnace design the boat 12 was provided with a thickness of about 0.125 inches.
- Boat or support 12 is also formed with a groove 40 for operative engagement with a lip 41 from a front portion 42 of a boat handler or pusher unit 43 employed for inserting and withdrawing support 12 into and from the processing tube 2.
- Front portion 42 is attached by tie rods 45 to a rear plug portion 44 which is received in the tube to restrict exit of processing gasses out of the processing tube 2.
- Handling of the pusher unit 43 is facilitated by means of a handle 46 formed on the exposed face of the plug unit 44.
- the plug unit 44 is dimensioned to provide about a 30 to 60 mil clearance with the inner surfaces of processing tube 2.
- all components of the pusher unit 43 can be fabricated of quartz.
- Critical for purposes of this invention is the resultant spacing (S) between the inner surface of tube top wall 11 and the top surface of wafers 13 at which they are positioned by support or boat 12.
- the ratio of such spacing to the inner width (W) of tube 2 defines a critical aspect ratio (W/S) which in conjunction with baffles 7 and 10 control gas in even flow in distribution through the processing length of tube 2 and across the top surfaces of wafer 13 without any dead or stagnant flow areas.
- W/S critical aspect ratio
- the height of or spacing between the inner surface of tube top wall 11 and the wafers will be in the general range of about one eighth inch to about three fourth inch, and it is necessary that this spacing (S) conform to aspect ratio W/S relative to the internal width (W)'of the tube 2.
- the aspect ratio W/S can be in the range of about 7 to about 30, and optimallyabout l8.
- a throttle baffle l6 projecting downwardly from the tube top wall 11 to restrict gas flows towardoutlet tubes 17 through which they are exhausted from tube 2 with assist from back pressure generated by injection of an inert gas through inlet ports 18 from a common manifold 19 fed from the gas inlet tube 20.
- the radiant heat diffuser plate means 14 is formed of electrically insulating material characterized with a relatively high thermal conductivity in the ranging about 0.3 to about 4 (Btu/Hr-Ft- F) typical of which is aluminum oxide (A1 0 of relatively high purity, mulite with approximately 25 percentup to 96 percent A1 0 and the like.
- the back sides of diffuser plate means 14, are formed with mounting grooves 25 through which are threaded a helical resistance element 26 for generating the primary heating energy for'radiant heat diffusion by the secondary heater plate means 14. Controlof heat generation is obtained by means of conventional thermocouples which extend into the furnace with the exposed sensing bead disposed between the heater plate means 14 and the reactor tube 2 opposite wafers 13, as shown.
- any suitable insulating material 28 Surrounding the heater units and reactor tube 2 is any suitable insulating material 28 having a mass of about to about 34 pounds and a thermal conductivity in the range of about 0.08 to about 0.1 l (Btu/Hr-Ft- F) enclosed within a casing 29 for packaging of the furnace.
- a particularly advantageous insulating material is fibrous aluminum silicate (available from the Eagle-Picker Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio) which is lightweight, dimensionally stable and very efficient and having one-half of the thermal conductivity of firebrick at l,00() C. Another advantage of this ceramic fibrous material is that itis available in blocks which can be suitably shaped about its enclosed contents.
- FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment of the'invention utilizing a modified reactor tube 2A which can be employed with processing gasses compatible with ambient atmospheres (e.g., oxygen).
- the exhaust ports 17 are omitted as well as the backflow gas entry inlet 20 and ports 18.
- the gas is discharged into the atmosphere from the loading end of reactor tube 2A.
- reactor tube 2A has substantially the same configuration as reactor tube 2 required for purposes of this invention.
- Curves l and 2 are outputs from the control thermocouples embedded in the heater elements at the rpective zones shown in the drawing. (Alternatively, control thermocouple may be located between heater plate and process tube.)
- Curves 3 and 4 are outputs from thermocouples resting directly over the center of two wafer positions on the process boat, as for the static profile above. Curve 3 is taken in zone 1 and curve 4 taken in zone 2. As can be seen, in both zones, the heater elements and wafer position tracked substantially identically.
- silicon substrates 13 with gate openings are placed on boat 12 and inserted into the first" furnace heated to l,000 C for a process cycle time of about 72 minutes with dry oxygen flowing through the reactor tube 2A at a rate of 1,300 cc./mm.
- a dry gate silicon oxide is grown on the 5 66 minutes are feasible with temperature wafer 13, after which the boat 12 is transferred immediately to a second" furnace, at a temperature of 840 C where for a 2-5 minute stabilization period 1182 cc/min of nitrogen and 1 l8 cc/min of oxygen is passed through the reactor tube 2 (e.g., FIG. 1) by injection through feed nozzle 6 in conjunction with a back flow of 945 cc/min of nitrogen injection through back-flow ports 18.
- a dopant gas is then also added into reactor tube 2 (via inlet nozzle 6) which was comprised of cc/min of nitrogen containing 440 ppm of POCl for 5 to 7 minutes to deposit a phosphosilicate glass (PSG) on the substrate at the 840 C temperature.
- PSG phosphosilicate glass
- the oxygen and the POCI doped nitrogen gasses were valve-off, and the furnace temperature was ramped to l,050 C over a 15 minute anneal period to stabilize surface charges and distribute the phosphorous impurities through the silicon oxide coating on the substrate.
- the furnace was ramped down to 840 C. Meanwhile, the boat was withdrawn for cooling of wafers in the ambient.
- the resultant SiO and PSG combined thickness wassubstantially 675 Angstroms with a PSG thickness of l 10 Angstroms. 1
- a furnace for processing semiconductor wafers comprising:
- the internal width between the side walls of said tube being in the range of about 1 Va to about inches
- D. gas diffuser means for constraining an injected gas in even flow through and across said tube having at least one said wafer disposed therein on said support;
- first and second planar radiant heat diffuser means juxtaposed externally in parallel relationship on respective ones of said top and bottom walls;
