Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plasma reactor.
  • the apparatus finds particular use in a plasma abatement system for treating gas streams that have been exhausted from process chambers.
  • a primary step in the fabrication of semiconductor devices is the formation of a thin film on a semiconductor substrate by chemical reaction of vapour precursors.
  • One known technique for depositing a thin film on a substrate is chemical vapour deposition (CVD).
  • CVD chemical vapour deposition
  • process gases are supplied to a process chamber housing the substrate and react to form a thin film over the surface of the substrate. Examples of gases supplied to the process chamber to form a thin film include, but are not restricted to:
  • Silane and ammonia for the formation of a silicon nitride film
  • Silane, ammonia and nitrous oxide for the formation of a SiON film
  • Plasma etching processes are typically also performed in the process chamber to etch circuit features.
  • Etching gases are typically perfluorocompound gases such as CF 4 , C 2 F 6 , CHF 3 , NF 3 and SF 6 .
  • the inside surface of the process chamber is also regularly cleaned to remove the unwanted deposition material from the chamber.
  • One method of cleaning the chamber is to supply a perfluorocompound cleaning gas such as NF 3 or C 2 F 6 to react with the unwanted deposition material.
  • a process tool typically has a plurality of process chambers, each of which may be at respective different stage in a deposition, etching or cleaning process.
  • the composition of the gas stream exhausted from a process chamber typically includes a residual amount of the gas supplied to the process chamber, together with by-products from the process. Therefore, during processing a waste stream formed from a combination of the gases exhausted from the chambers may have various different compositions.
  • Process gases such as silane and TEOS, and cleaning gases such as perfluoro- compounds are highly dangerous if exhausted to the atmosphere, and so before the exhaust gases are vented to the atmosphere they are conveyed to abatement apparatus.
  • the abatement apparatus converts the more hazardous components of the exhaust gases into species that can either be readily removed by conventional scrubbing, and/or can be safely exhausted to the atmosphere.
  • the different exhaust gases may contain chemicals that are incompatible with one another.
  • the exhaust gas from a chamber in which a silicon oxide deposition process is taking place may contain TEOS, oxygen and SiO 2 particulates that have been generated within the chamber.
  • the exhaust gas from a chamber in which an NF 3 cleaning process is taking place may contain fluorine (F 2 ).
  • TEOS and fluorine will spontaneously combust on contact, potentially leading to fire or an explosion within the exhaust gas pipework. Whilst these gas streams may be treated separately using respective abatement apparatus, this increases the costs associated with the abatement system.
  • the gas inlet is typically of the order of 1 mm 2 . Consequently, the presence of particulates of only a few microns in diameter in the exhaust gas can lead to rapid clogging of the inlet of the plasma abatement device.
  • the present invention provides a plasma reactor comprising: a reaction chamber; an inlet head having an open end connected to the reaction chamber, a plasma inlet located opposite to the open end, an inner surface tapering from the open end towards the plasma inlet, and first and second gas inlets each located between the plasma inlet and the open end; and a plasma torch for injecting a plasma stream into the reaction chamber through the plasma inlet; wherein the plasma inlet is shaped to cause the plasma stream to spread outwardly towards the gas inlets.
  • This shaping of the inlet head and the plasma inlet can enable the plasma stream to impinge upon gas streams as they exit from the gas inlets.
  • the plasma stream can provide a source of energy that can cause a significant proportion of at least one component of the gas streams to be reacted before the gas streams begin to mix within the chamber.
  • the plasma stream can provide ignition energy for causing substantially complete, controlled combustion of the flammable component before that gas stream mixes with the other gas stream within the reactor.
  • This can inhibit an uncontrolled reaction occurring within the plasma reactor between the flammable component of one gas stream, for example TEOS, with a component of the other gas stream, for example fluorine.
  • This component of the other gas stream can be reacted with a reactant, for example water vapour, supplied separately to the reaction chamber, or previously entrained within the gas stream, with the plasma stream providing a source of energy for promoting this reaction.
  • the plasma reactor may be used to treat simultaneously the gas streams exhaust from two process chambers with reduced power consumption and costs in comparison to an abatement system comprising a plasma reactor for each gas stream.
  • the reaction chamber preferably comprises an annular body and means for supplying gas to the inner surface of the annular body for inhibiting the build-up of deposits thereon.
  • a plasma reactor comprising: a reaction chamber; at least one gas inlet for supplying a gas to the reaction chamber plasma; and a plasma torch for injecting a plasma stream into the reaction chamber; wherein the reaction chamber comprises an annular body and means for supplying gas to the inner surface of the annular body for inhibiting the build-up of deposits thereon.
  • the annular body may comprise a porous annular member, with the gas supply means comprising a plenum chamber extending about the annular member for receiving the gas.
  • the gas passes under pressure from the plenum chamber through the annular member and dislodges any deposits that may have accumulated on the inner surface of the annular member.
  • Means may be provided for heating the gas supplied to the inner surface of the annular body.
  • the means may be provided by electrical resistance heaters located in the plenum chamber, or alternatively by a heater surrounding the plenum chamber.
  • Heating the gas supplied to the reactor chamber can enable a high temperature to be maintained along the length of the reactor chamber, thereby increasing the length of time during which the components of the gas stream are exposed to the high temperature conditions generated within the chamber and so enhancing the abatement performance of the reactor.
  • the gas may be an inert purge gas, for example nitrogen or argon, and may comprise a reactant, for example water vapour, oxygen, hydrogen or methane for reacting with a component of a gas stream entering the reactor through one of the gas inlets.
  • a reactant for example water vapour, oxygen, hydrogen or methane for reacting with a component of a gas stream entering the reactor through one of the gas inlets.
  • a cooling column may be provided below and in fluid communication with the reaction chamber, along with means for maintaining a flow of water along the inner surface of the cooling column. This can enable the reaction product stream leaving the reaction chamber to be cooled whilst enabling acidic gases contained within the gas stream, such as HF, to be taken into solution by the water flow coating the inner surface of the column, and also enabling solid particulates to be captured by this water flow.
  • the cooling column may also comprise a heat exchanger to reclaim heat to provide to other parts of the reactor.
  • the first gas inlet is preferably located diametrically opposite to the second gas inlet.
  • the shape of the inner surface is preferably chosen so that it conforms closely to the shape of the plasma stream, thereby minimising the length of the gas path between a gas inlet and the plasma stream.

  • Each gas inlet comprises a nozzle for receiving a gas stream to be treated within the reaction chamber, and an annular passageway extending about the nozzle for receiving a purge gas.
  • This purge gas can serve to cool the inlet head, with the additional advantage that the heat that is being drawn from the inlet head by the purge gas is re-introduced back into the reaction chamber by the purge gas.
  • the purge gas may comprise a relatively inert gas, such as nitrogen or argon, and may also include a reactant, such as hydrogen, water vapour, oxygen or methane, for reacting with a component of the gas stream that is conveyed into the reactor by that gas inlet.
  • the nozzle may terminate within the gas inlet to provide opportunity for the reactant to mix with the gas stream before it leaves the gas inlet.
  • the inlet may also comprise a reactant gas inlet pipe extending into the nozzle concentrically surrounded by the nozzle and annular passageway.
  • the reactant gas passed to the reactant gas inlet pipe may comprise, for example, hydrogen, water vapour, methane or oxygen.
  • the reactant gas passed to the reactant gas inlet pipe may be in addition to, or instead of, any reactant passing to the annular passageway.
  • the inlet head may comprise means located between the plasma inlet and the reaction chamber for directing the plasma stream towards the first and second gas inlets, thereby reducing further the gas path extending from the gas inlet to the plasma stream.
  • a ceramic body may be located within the inlet head and shaped so as to direct the plasma stream into a conical or frustro-conical channel located between the body and the inner surface of the inlet head.
  • Means may be provided for generating a gas layer on the outer surface of the body.
  • the ceramic body may be porous, with a stream of gas being supplied to the body to generate the gas layer on the outer surface of the body. This gas layer can provide a protective gas boundary for the ceramic body.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un réacteur à plasma comportant une chambre de réaction et une tête d'orifice d'entrée reliée à la chambre de réaction. La tête d'orifice d'entrée comporte une extrémité ouverte reliée à la chambre de réaction, un orifice d'entrée de plasma située en regard de l'extrémité ouverte, une surface intérieure se rétrécissant depuis l'extrémité ouverte vers l'orifice d'entrée de plasma, et des premier et second orifices d'entrée de gaz situés chacun entre l'orifice d'entrée de plasma et l'extrémité ouverte. Un chalumeau à plasma injecte un flux de plasma dans la chambre de réaction à travers l'orifice d'entrée de plasma, qui est conformé pour entraîner la diffusion du flux de plasma vers l'extérieur en direction des premier et second orifices d'entrée de gaz. Cette conformtion de la tête d'orifice d'entrée et de l'orifice d'entrée de plasma peut permettre le flux de plasma de créer un impact sur les flux de gaz lors de leur sortie depuis les orifices d'entrée de flux de gaz et d'entraîner ainsi la réaction d'une proportion importante d'au moins un constituant des flux de gaz avant le début du mélange des flux de gaz dans la chambre.
