Definitions
- the present invention relates to an atomic layer deposition (hereinafter also referred to as ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition)) apparatus for forming a thin film on a substrate, and a thin film forming method for forming a thin film on a substrate by an atomic layer deposition method.
- ALD atomic layer Deposition
- the ALD method two types of gas mainly composed of elements constituting a film to be formed are alternately supplied onto a film formation target substrate, and a thin film is formed on the substrate in units of atomic layers repeatedly several times.
- This is a thin film forming technique for forming a film having a desired thickness.
- a source gas containing Si and an oxidizing gas containing O are used.
- a nitriding gas is used instead of the oxidizing gas.
- the ALD method has both high step coverage and film thickness controllability compared to the general CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method. Therefore, it is expected to be put to practical use for forming capacitors for memory elements and insulating films called “high-k gates”.
- an insulating film can be formed at a temperature of 300 ° C. or lower. Therefore, it is expected that the ALD method is applied to formation of a gate insulating film of a thin film transistor of a display device using a glass substrate such as a liquid crystal display.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an ALD apparatus for forming a thin film on a substrate, a source gas adsorption chamber that adsorbs at least one type of source gas to the substrate, and a reaction that irradiates the substrate with at least one type of reactive gas.

- This apparatus is realized as an object to provide an apparatus capable of forming a film efficiently without requiring frequent maintenance of a film formation chamber in vacuum film formation by the ALD method.
- Patent Document 1 since the film forming chamber is divided for each necessary process, neither the source gas adsorption chamber nor the reactive gas irradiation chamber is deposited on the wall surface of the room, as in the prior art. It is described that maintenance of a film forming chamber is unnecessary, and radicals having high reactivity can be used effectively. However, such an apparatus becomes large and the cost increases. In particular, when an 8th generation glass plate having a side exceeding 2 m is used as a target substrate on which a thin film is formed, the installation area and the equipment cost are greatly increased.
- the present invention is different from the ALD apparatus described above in order to reduce costs, and has a single film formation chamber, and an atomic layer deposition apparatus capable of forming a thin film with uniform film quality on a substrate, and An object is to provide a method for forming a thin film.
- An atomic layer deposition apparatus of the present invention is an atomic layer deposition apparatus that forms a thin film on a substrate, a container that forms a first internal space, and a substrate loading / unloading port for loading or unloading a substrate;
- a first container provided at a different position with a gas inlet for introducing a gas for forming a thin film on the substrate into the inside, and provided in the first container and separated from the first internal space
- a second container that forms a second internal space and includes a first opening; a first moving mechanism that moves the second container in a predetermined direction; and a substrate that is loaded or unloaded,
- the first moving mechanism is controlled so that the second container is moved to the position of 2. And having a control unit for, a.
- the thin film forming method of the present invention includes a first container that forms a first internal space, and a second internal space that is provided inside the first container and separated from the first internal space.
- the thin film forming step of forming a thin film by moving to a second position opposite to the gas inlet for introducing the gas forming the gas into the second internal space, and the first opening includes the substrate loading / unloading port. And a substrate unloading step for unloading the substrate. And wherein the door.
- a thin film having a uniform film quality can be formed on a substrate.

Abstract
Description
原子層堆積装置10は、TMA(Tri-Methyl-Aluminium)等の原料ガスと、オゾンO3等の酸化ガスを交互に供給して、原子単位で堆積して薄膜を形成する。
図1は、薄膜形成工程時における、基板12上に薄膜を形成する原子層堆積装置(以降、ALD装置という)10の概略の装置構成を示す断面図である。
以下、これらの構成について、より詳細に説明する。
まず、図1を参照して、第1の容器20について説明する。
第1の容器20は、SUS等の金属材料で構成されている。第1の容器20の上壁には、N2ガス(あるいは不活性ガス)を第1の内部空間22に導入するガス導入口が設けられている。また、第1の容器20の上壁には、排気管42が接続される排気口が設けられている。第1の内部空間22内のガスは、ターボ分子ポンプなどの排気部44により、第1の容器20の外部に排気される。これにより、第1の内部空間22内は、導入されたN2ガスの雰囲気で、所定の圧力に維持される。第1の内部空間22を所定の圧力に減圧することにより、後述するヒータ24、25が酸化するのを抑制することができる。
なお、基板12の搬入、搬出時の状態は、図3に示されている。図3についての説明は後述する。
また、第1の移動機構36はキャスタ37を備えており、第1の容器20の底面32の面内方向に移動することができる。

そして、シャッタ27が開き、シャッタ27、基板搬入出口28、第1の開口64を通して、基板12が第2の容器60の内部に搬入される。基板の搬入は、図2(b)に示すように、搬送台車の基板載置先端のフォーク部70に基板12を載置して行う。

次に、基板搬出工程について説明する。図3は、基板搬出工程時における原子層堆積装置10の状態を示す断面図である。第2の容器60は第1の位置にある。
