Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a substrate processing apparatus having a semi-circular antenna.
- the semiconductor device has many layers on a silicon substrate, and these layers are deposited on the substrate through a deposition process.
- This deposition process has several important issues, which are important in evaluating the deposited films and selecting the deposition method.
- the first is the 'qulity' of the deposited film. This means composition, contamination levels, defect density, and mechanical and electrical properties.
- the composition of the films can vary depending on the deposition conditions, which is very important for obtaining a specific composition.
- the second is uniform thickness across the wafer.
- the thickness of the film deposited on the nonplanar pattern on which the step is formed is very important. Whether the thickness of the deposited film is uniform may be determined through step coverage defined by dividing the minimum thickness deposited on the stepped portion by the thickness deposited on the upper surface of the pattern.
- Another issue with deposition is filling space. This includes gap filling between the metal lines with an insulating film including an oxide film. The gap is provided to physically and electrically insulate the metal lines.
- uniformity is one of the important issues associated with the deposition process, and non-uniform films result in high electrical resistance on metal lines and increase the likelihood of mechanical failure.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a plasma processing apparatus and a plasma antenna capable of securing process uniformity.
- a substrate processing apparatus includes a chamber in which a process is performed on a substrate; A substrate support installed in the chamber and on which the substrate is placed; And an antenna installed at an upper portion of the chamber to form an electric field in the chamber, wherein the antenna has first and second antennas arranged to be symmetrical with respect to a predetermined center line.
- the first antenna has first and second radii, respectively, and has a semicircular shape of a first inner antenna and a first intermediate antenna positioned at one side and the other side with respect to a predetermined center line, respectively, the first inner antenna and the first antenna.
- the second antenna has a first connection antenna that connects the intermediate antennas to each other, and the second antenna has a first and a second radius, respectively, and has a semicircular second intermediate antenna and a second shape positioned on one side and the other side with respect to the center line. And a second connection antenna connecting the inner antenna, the second intermediate antenna, and the second inner antenna to each other.
