Abstract
Description
Polymerization)は、反応性の高い低分子モノマーであるPMDA及びODAを気化させて、チャンバー内に設置した基板表面に共蒸着し、基板表面で重合させて高分子ポリマーとしてのポリイミドを得る方式である。
具体的に、この蒸着重合反応は下記に示すような反応である。
PMDA+ODA→PAA(ポリアミド酸)→PI(ポリイミド)+H2O
蒸着重合方式による成膜処理を行う基板処理装置においては、基板上での蒸着重合に寄与することのなかった原料モノマーは、ポリイミド膜の成膜に寄与することなくモノマーの状態で排出され、処理装置のチャンバー内を排気するための真空ポンプ内に到達する。このような原料モノマーは、真空ポンプに到達するまでの間に温度が低下し、気体から固体等の状態に変化し、真空ポンプ内において固着等してしまい真空ポンプの故障の原因となることが知られている。このため、これら原料モノマーが真空ポンプ内に到達する前に除去する必要があり、このような装置としては、水冷コイルを備えたモノマートラップを有する真空重合装置が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1)。
本実施の形態は、基板処理装置である原料モノマーとしてPMDAとODAを用いて、蒸着重合によりポリイミドを得る成膜装置及びこの基板処理装置に組み込まれるトラップ装置である。
(成膜装置)
図2及び図3に基づき、本実施の形態におけるトラップ装置及び基板処理装置について説明する。尚、図2は、本実施の形態における基板処理装置を示し、図3は、本実施の形態における基板処理装置の排気系、即ち、本実施の形態におけるトラップ装置を含む排気系を示す。
次に、第1のトラップ30について説明する。図4に第1のトラップ30を示す。第1のトラップ30は円筒状の筐体部31を有し、筐体部31の内部には複数の円盤状のフィン32が配置されている。第1のトラップ30の吸入部33は、チャンバー11の排気口15と接続されており、第2のトラップ50を介し、真空ポンプ70により排気を行うことにより、排気される気流(ガス)が吸入部33より第1のトラップ30の内部に入り込む。第1のトラップ30は、コントローラ80により、140~200℃に保たれており、よって、第1のトラップ30の内部に設置された複数のフィン32も、この温度に保たれている。この温度では気化したPMDAとODAが反応しポリイミドが形成されるため、チャンバー11から第1のトラップ30の内部に流れ込んだPMDAとODAとが反応し、フィン32の表面にポリイミド膜を形成する。このようにして、排気される気流中において、気化した状態のPMDAとODAとを蒸着重合させることにより、PMDAとODAできる限り排除することができる。この後、この気流は排出口34より排気される。
次に、図5から図7に基づき、本実施の形態におけるトラップ装置である第2のトラップ50について説明する。第2のトラップ50は、円筒状に形成されており、円筒状の内部において、上段におけるバイパス部51と下段の冷却トラップ部60を有している。図5は、第2のトラップ50の機能の説明図であり、図6は、第2のトラップ50をバイパス状態にした場合の内部の構造を示し、図7は、第2のトラップ50をトラップ状態にした場合の内部の構造を示す。
次に、第2の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態は、第1の実施の形態におけるトラップ装置とは異なる構造のトラップ装置であり、第1の実施の形態における基板処理装置における第2のトラップとして用いることができる。
尚、上述した内容以外については、第1の実施の形態と同様である。
次に、第3の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態は、第1の実施の形態及び第2の実施の形態におけるトラップ装置とは異なる構造のトラップ装置であり、第1の実施の形態における基板処理装置における第2のトラップとして用いることができる。
