Description

石墨盘、 具有上述石墨盘的反应腔室和对衬底的加热方法 本申请要求于 2012 年 02 月 22 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201210041203.6、 发明名称为 "石墨盘、 具有上述石墨盘的反应腔室和对村 底的加热方法 "的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请 中。
技术领域
本发明涉及化学气相沉积（CVD )技术领域， 特别涉及化学气相沉积设 备的石墨盘、 反应腔室和对村底的加热方法。
背景技术
MOCVD( Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition )是在气相外延生长
(VPE)的基础上发展起来的一种化学气相外延沉积工艺。 它以 III族、 II族元 素的有机化合物和 V、 VI族元素的氢化物等作为晶体生长的源材料， 以热分 解反应方式在石墨盘上进行沉积工艺， 生长各种 III -V族、 II -VI族化合物半 导体以及它们的多元固溶体的薄层单晶材料。 为例， 请参考图 1所示的现有的化学气相沉积工艺设备的结构示意图。
手套箱 10内形成有相对设置的喷淋头 11和石墨盘 12。 所述喷淋头 11 内可以设置多个小孔， 所述喷淋头 11用于提供反应气体。 所述石墨盘 12内 具有多个 槽， 每个 槽内对应放置一片村底 121 , 所述村底 121的材质通 常为价格昂贵的蓝宝石。 所述石墨盘 12的下方还形成有加热单元 13, 所述 加热单元 13对石墨盘 12进行加热，石墨盘 12受热升温，能够以热辐射和热 传导方式对村底 121进行加热。由于村底 121放置在石墨盘 12中，两者接触， 因此石墨盘 12对村底 121的加热以热传导为主。
在进行 MOCVD工艺时，反应气体自喷淋头 11的小孔进入石墨盘 12上 方的反应区域（靠近村底 121 的表面的位置）， 所述村底 121 由于加热单元 13的热传导加热而具有一定的温度，从而该温度使得反应气体之间进行化学 反应， 从而在村底 121表面沉积外延材料层。
在实际中发现，现有的化学气相沉积工艺的均匀性不高，外延芯片的良 率偏低。
发明内容

与现有技术相比， 本发明具有以下优点：
本发明实施例提供的石墨盘的凹槽具有与之对应的支撑架， 利用该支撑 架将村底悬置， 使得村底与石墨盘不接触， 在进行化学气相沉积工艺时， 石 墨盘作为村底的热源 （石墨盘在加热单元的加热下升温， 能够以热辐射和热 传导方式提供热量）， 由于村底与石墨盘不接触， 因此利用本发明所述的石墨 盘能够实现对村底的加热以热辐射方式为主， 而现有技术将村底直接放置在 石墨盘的凹槽中（即村底与石墨盘直接接触）， 因此现有技术对村底的加热以 热传导为主， 当村底发生翘曲变形时， 现有技术容易造成村底的各点受热不 均匀， 导致村底上形成的外延材料层不均匀， 由于本发明利用热辐射方式加 热， 消除了现有技术利用热传导加热给村底上各点的加热的不均匀造成的影 响， 提高了对村底加热的均匀性， 相应改善了化学气相沉积工艺的均匀性和 村底上形成的外延材料层的均匀性；

进一步优化地， 所述支撑架的与村底接触的表面上形成有多个孔隙， 用 于减小所述支撑架与村底的接触面积， 减少了来自石墨盘的热传导， 进一步 改善了村底受热的均匀性；

具体实施方式
现有技术的化学气相沉积工艺的均匀性不高， 外延芯片的良率偏低。 经 过发明人研究发现， 由于村底受热不均匀 （村底的各点有温差）导致化学气
常村底放置于石墨盘中， 两者接触， 石墨盘能够以热传导和热辐射两种方式 对村底进行加热。 当村底翘曲变形后， 村底原本应与石墨盘接触的各点与石 墨盘之间的距离不同， 使得村底受热不均匀。 并且发明人还发现， 基于不同 的材质， 村底在应力的作用下发生的翘曲变形的趋势不同。 虽然不同材质的 村底发生翘曲变形的趋势不同， 但是均会造成村底受热不均匀。
具体地， 请参考图 2所示的翘曲变形的蓝宝石村底与石墨盘的结构示意 图。 石墨盘 12内具有凹槽， 石墨盘 12的正面朝向喷淋头（未图示）， 石墨盘 12的凹槽内放置有村底 121 ,所述村底 121的正面朝向喷淋头。所述村底 121 的材质为蓝宝石， 由于应力作用， 村底 121的背面 （与正面相对的表面）原 本位于同一平面的三点 A点、 B点、 C点形成了圓弧状（圓弧的开口向上）， 而整个村底 121在凹槽内呈碗口上的碗状。 对于 A点和 C点与石墨盘 12直 接接触， 因此 A点和 C点可以以热辐射和热传导两种方式接受来自石墨盘 12的热量， 并且可以把部分热量逐渐向 B点传递， 而 B点悬置于石墨盘 12 上方，只能以热辐射方式接受来自石墨盘 12的热量，这使得村底 121的各点 受热不均匀， 村底 121的温度自边缘向中心降低。
对于材质为硅的村底， 其翘曲变形与蓝宝石村底相反。 请参考图 3所示 的翘曲变形的硅村底与石墨盘的结构示意图， 与图 2相同的结构采用相同的 标号表示。村底 121正面向上放置于石墨盘 12内， 其材质为硅， 由于应力作 用， 所述村底 121的背面原本位于同一平面的三点 A点、 B点和 C点形成了 圓弧状（圓弧的开口向下），但是该圓弧的开口方向与蓝宝石村底的背面的圓 弧的开口方向相反， 整个村底 121呈碗口向下 （倒扣） 的碗状。 村底 121背 面的 C点由于与石墨盘 12直接接触， 其能够同时以热传导和热辐射两种方 式接收来自石墨盘 12的热量， 并且 C点将热量向村底 121的中部传递， 而 对于 B点和 A点只能以热辐射的方式接受来自石墨盘 12的热量， 这使得村 底 121的边缘温度高， 中部温度低， 并且对于发生图 3所述的变形， 村底中 部接受的热传导的热量比图 2中的村底中部接受的热传导的热量小， 更加加 剧了村底 121温度分布的不均匀。
并且无论是蓝宝石村底或硅村底， 由于对村底加热的 "边缘效应"（即村 底边缘的升温速度大于村底中部的升温速度， 使得村底边缘的温度高于村底 中部的温度） 的影响， 这使得现有的方法对村底加热普遍有受热不均匀的问 题。 并且如前所述， 硅村底由于其翘曲变形为为开口向下， 其边缘与中部的 温度不均匀的问题更为严重。 但是利用硅作为化学气相沉积工艺的村底制作 外延芯片是 LED芯片制作领域的技术发展趋势，而硅村底的翘曲变形问题暂 时没有有效的解决办法。 如何在村底（尤其是硅村底）发生翘曲变形的情况 下对其实现较为均勾的加热， 是本发明要解决的技术问题。
为了解决上述问题， 本发明提出一种对新的对村底的加热方法， 所述方 法利用与 槽对应的支撑架， 将所述村底悬置， 使得所述村底与石墨盘不接 触， 利用石墨盘的热辐射对所述村底进行加热。 所述方法适用于 MOCVD工 艺， 当然， 也适用于其他的村底受热变形后以热辐射加热会影响工艺均匀性 的化学气相沉积工艺。
本发明通过改变对村底的加热方式， 使得现有的热传导（为主要加热方 式）和热辐射共同对村底进行加热的方式转变为采用以热辐射对村底进行加 热或以热辐射加热为主对村底进行加热， 提高了村底的各点受热的均匀性。 在村底发生翘曲变形的情况下，虽然村底各点与下方的石墨盘的距离有差异， 但是上述差异对热辐射加热的影响较小， 因此， 采用本发明实施例的方法可 以实现对翘曲变形的村底实现较为均匀的加热。
以 MOCVD设备为例，现有的 MOCVD设备的石墨盘中通常设置有凹槽， 村底放置于凹槽内， 本发明可以通过凹槽内或凹槽两侧的石墨盘上设置支撑 架， 将村底悬置于石墨盘上， 从而使得所述村底与石墨盘不接触， 利用石墨 盘的热辐射对所述村底进行加热。
下面结合实施例对本发明的技术方案进行详细的说明。 为了更好地说明 本发明的技术方案， 请结合图 4所示的本发明第一实施例的石墨盘的结构示 意图。 作为一个实施例， 石墨盘 20的正面向上， 石墨盘 20内具有凹槽， 所 述 槽具有侧壁和底部。所述 槽的侧壁为 槽的沿着垂直于所述石墨盘 20 正面的两侧， 凹槽的底部露出下方的石墨盘 20。 本发明所述的石墨盘的正面 是指石墨盘的朝向喷淋头 （未示出）一侧的表面， 以上定义全文适用， 特此 说明。
本发明所述的支撑架 21位于凹槽的底部， 且该支撑架 21环绕凹槽的底 部一周， 村底 22位于支撑架 21上方。 作为一个实施例， 图 4所示的石墨盘 20中仅有一个 槽， 在其他的实施例中， 石墨盘 20中可以有多个 槽。
所述支撑架 21用于将村底 22悬置， 使得村底 22与石墨盘 20不接触， 从而消除由于村底 22与石墨盘 20接触带来的热传导，使得石墨盘 20对村底 22的加热为热辐射或以热辐射为主。
请结合图 5 , 为图 4所示的石墨盘的俯视示意图。 所述支撑架 21的形状 为环形。 该环形的支撑架 21环绕 槽的侧壁和底部一周， 村底 22位于支撑 架 21上。
请继续参考图 4,作为本发明的一个可选实施例，支撑架 21位于村底 22 的下方。 村底 22的背面与石墨盘 20不接触。 所述支撑架 21的高度 L应满 足， 当村底 22呈现碗状的变形（即村底 22的中部朝向凹槽的底部变形）时， 村底 22的背面仍然与石墨盘 20不接触。 作为本发明的又一可选实施例， 所 述支撑架 21的高度 L与村底 22的厚度 D之和应等于凹槽的深度11。本发明 所述的村底 22的厚度 D是指未发生形变的村底的正面 （朝向喷淋头一侧的 表面）和背面 （与正面相对的表面）之间的距离， 本发明所述的支撑架的高 度 L是指支撑架 21的正面与背面 （与正面相对、 且与喷淋头距离最远的一 侧的表面）的距离。 作为一个实施例， 所述凹槽的深度 H范围为 300微米 ~2 毫米， 所述村底 22的厚度范围为 300微米 ~1.5毫米， 相应地， 所述支撑架 21的高度范围为 290微米 ~1.7毫米。
本实施例中， 虽然村底 22的侧面与凹槽的侧壁仍然有部分接触，通过该 部分接触， 石墨盘 20能够以热传导方式将部分热量传给村底 22, 但是热传 导方式传导的热量有限，对村底 22的受热的均匀性影响不大。在其他的实施 例中， 可以在村底 22的两侧与石墨盘 20之间设置绝热层， 该绝热层的材质 可以为陶瓷。
作为一个实施例， 所述支撑架 21的宽度应尽可能小， 以减小与村底 22 的接触。作为优选的实施例，所述支撑架 21的宽度范围为其上方放置村底的 半径的 1/10~1/20, 以保证能够稳定的将村底 22悬空。
作为一个实施例， 所述支撑架 21的材质为石墨， 其可以与石墨盘 20— 体化加工而成， 也可以单独加工， 然后通过螺丝螺母等机械零件与石墨盘 20 固定在一起或者通过耐热胶与石墨盘 20粘合为一体。
作为本发明的一个的实施例，所述支撑架 21的材质可以为透明材质，这 样保证支撑架 21下方的石墨盘 20的热量可以透过支撑架 21传输至村底 22。 例如所述支撑架 21的材质可以为石英、蓝宝石或者两者的混合。本实施例中， 所述支撑架 21的材质为蓝宝石。 作为本发明的又一实施例， 所述支撑架 21 的材质还可以为绝热材质， 这样可以减少石墨盘 21将热量传递给村底 22, 比如所述支撑架 21的材质可以为陶瓷、 氧化锆或两者的混合。
由于石墨盘 20在工艺过程中可能会旋转运动， 为了保证村底 22在石墨 盘 20中能稳定，所述 槽的侧壁与底部可以有一定的倾斜， 槽的侧壁和底 部形成 V型，目的是使得凹槽的底部的直径大于凹槽的正面的开口处的直径， 从而整个凹槽呈圓台状， 保证村底 22在随石墨盘 20的旋转过程中的位置相 对稳定。
下面请结合图 6所示的本发明第二实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图。 与第 一实施例相同的结构采用相同的标号。 本实施例与前一实施例的区别在于， 石墨盘 20 中具有孔洞， 该孔洞位于村底 22的边缘的凹槽下方的石墨盘 20 内。 所述孔洞用于减小石墨盘 20对村底 22边缘的热辐射。
因为发明人发现， 在对村底 22进行加热时， 由于边缘效应的影响， 村底 22的边缘的温度通常高于村底 22的中部的温度，本发明通过在村底 22的边 缘的石墨盘 20中设置孔洞， 可以减少对村底 22的边缘的热辐射， 从而使得 村底 22的边缘的温度与村底 22的中部的温度一致。 本发明实施例的孔洞位 于村底 22两侧的石墨盘 20中，该孔洞设置在石墨盘 20的正面，也是为了便 于石墨盘 20的加工制作。在其他的实施例中，所述孔洞还可以位于村底边缘 附近的其他位置， 比如该孔洞可以位于村底的边缘下方的石墨盘中， 也可以 位于村底的边缘的两侧的石墨盘中； 该孔洞可以与凹槽相连通， 或者该孔洞 与凹槽之间可以有部分石墨盘隔绝， 具体将在后续的实施例中进行详细的说 明。
下面请参考图 7所示的本发明第三实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图。 与第 一实施例相同的结构采用相同的标号表示。 本实施例与第一实施例的区别在 于，所述支撑架 21悬挂于所述 槽两侧的石墨盘 20上，所述支撑架 21的顶 部固定于所述凹槽的两侧的石墨盘 20上， 所述支撑架 21的底部用于放置村 底 22。
所述支撑架 21为阶梯型。 即， 支撑架 21的顶部与 槽两侧的石墨盘 20 的正面接触，支撑架 21的侧面石墨盘 20接触，所述支撑架 21的底部悬置于 槽上。所述支撑架 21的底部用于放置村底 22,支撑架 21的侧壁将村底 22 的侧面与石墨盘 20隔离，使得村底 22与石墨盘 20完全不接触，这样可以减 小石墨盘 20以热传导方式将热量传输给村底 22, 使得石墨盘 20对村底 22 的加热以热辐射方式为主， 从而进一步改善对村底 22的受热的均匀性。
作为优选的实施例， 所述支撑架 21的正面、 村底 22的正面与石墨盘 20 的正面齐平，这样可以防止支撑架 21和石墨盘 20对村底 22上方的气体带来 影响，提高村底 22上方的气流分布的均勾性。本发明所述的支撑架的正面是 指支撑架的朝向喷淋头 （未示出）一侧的表面， 以上定义适用于全文。
作为本发明的一个实施例，所述石墨盘 20中具有孔洞，该孔洞位于村底
22的边缘的凹槽的底部，所述孔洞用于减小石墨盘 20对村底 22的边缘的热 辐射。 本实施例中， 所述孔洞与凹槽相连通， 可以在利用同一工艺步骤制作， 便于石墨盘 20的加工和制作。
下面请结合图 8所示的本发明第四实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图， 与前 一实施例相同的部件采用相同的标号表示。 本实施例与前一实施例的区别在 于， 槽的侧壁和底部形成 V型， 相应地， 支撑架 21的形状为 Z型， 所述 支撑架 21悬挂于 槽两侧的石墨盘 20上，所述支撑架 21的顶部固定于 槽 的两侧的石墨盘 20上， 所述支撑架 21的底部用于放置村底 22。 采用本实施 例所述的 Z型的支撑架 21可以更好地固定村底 22,防止村底 22随着石墨盘 20转动时被甩出去。 本实施例中， 孔洞位于村底 22的边缘的下方的石墨盘 20中。
下面请参考图 9所示的本发明第五实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图， 与前 一实施例相同的结构采用相同的标号表示。 本实施例与前一实施例的区别在 于， 所述村底 22的正面、 支撑架 21的正面和石墨盘 20的正面齐平， 这样有 利于改善村底 22表面的气体分布的均匀性。
下面请参考图 10所示的本发明第六实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图，与前 一实施例相同的结构采用相同的标号表示。 本实施例与前一实施例的区别在 于， 村底 22的边缘的侧壁和底部的石墨盘 20中均形成有孔洞， 并且在本实 施例中该孔洞与凹槽相连通。 在其他的实施例中， 所述孔洞与凹槽之间还可 以有部分石墨盘 20隔离。 本实施例中， 所述支撑架 21的形状为阶梯型， 该 支撑架 21 的侧壁与凹槽两侧的石墨盘 20不接触， 这样可以防止石墨盘 20 通过支撑架 21的侧壁将热量传导给村底 22, 防止对村底 22的边缘加热过多 造成村底 22的边缘温度高于村底 22的中部的温度，进一步改善村底 22的温 度分布的均匀性。
本实施例中， 所述支撑架 21的底部与石墨盘 20不接触， 也可以防止石 墨盘 20通过支撑架 21将热量传递给村底 22的边缘， 减小村底 22的边缘与 中部的温度差异， 进一步改善村底 22的温度的分布的均匀性。
为了进一步减小石墨盘通过支撑架传导给村底的热量， 改善村底的边缘 和中部的温度分布的均勾性， 作为可选的实施例， 还可以在支撑架的与村底 接触的部分形成孔隙， 这样进一步减小支撑架与村底的接触面积。 具体地， 请参考图 11所示的图 9中的支撑架的底部的结构示意图。 作为一个实施例， 支撑架的顶部 （未图示）放置于石墨盘上， 支撑架的底部 （即用于放置村底 的部分）为双环形结构。 如图， 该支撑架的底部具体包括外环 211、 内环 212 和连接外环 211和内环 212的连接桥 213。 采用所述双环形结构的支撑架与 村底的接触面积少， 减少了石墨盘通过支撑架向村底的热传导的热量传输。
请参考图 12所示本发明第七实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图。与第六实施 例相同的结构采用相同的标号表示。 本实施例与第六实施例的区别在于， 村 底 22正面向上放置于阶梯形的支撑架 21上， 所述村底 22的正面、 支撑架 21的正面和石墨盘 20的正面齐平。 本实施例与第六实施例的区别在于， 孔 洞的形状和位置不同。 本实施例的孔洞位于村底 121的边缘的底部， 与凹槽 底部相连通。 本发明的孔洞的深度自 槽的侧壁下方沿村底 121的径向向村 底 121的中部方向的依次减小， 整个孔洞呈三角状。 采用所述孔洞可以进一 步消除村底边缘的热辐射。
请参考图 15所示翘曲变形的硅村底温度分布曲线。 其中横轴 D表示与 村底的中心的距离 （单位为毫米）， 纵轴 T表示温度（单位为 κ )。 图中并未 定量地沿径向标出村底上的温度， 而是定性地示出了沿径向村底的温度变化 趋势， 虚线左侧为村底中部， 虚线右侧为村底边缘。 其中曲线 1为采用现有 技术的石墨盘对翘曲变形的硅村底加热的模拟结果。 曲线 1表明村底的中部 温度分布比村底的边缘温度分布均勾， 由于边缘效应的影响， 村底的边缘的 温度比村底的中部的温度高， 并且越靠近村底的边缘温度上升越快， 温度分 布的均匀性越差， 村底的边缘和中部的最大温差超过 10Κ。 曲线 2为采用本 实施例的石墨盘对翘曲变形的硅村底加热的模拟结果。 曲线 2的村底中部的 温度分布比村底边缘的温度分布更为均勾， 与曲线 1相比， 村底的边缘的温 度变化较为平緩，村底的边缘和中部的最大温差小于 4K,这说明采用本发明 实施例的石墨盘可以有效改善村底上温度分布的均匀性。
下面请参考图 13所示的第八实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图。与第七实施 例相同的结构采用相同的标号表示。 与前一实施例的区别在于， 支撑架 21 位于 槽的中部， 且所述支撑架 21由多个支撑柱构成。 本实施例中， 所述支 撑柱的数目为 3个， 所述支撑柱呈等边三角形排布， 等边三角形的中心与 槽的中心位于同一垂直线上（该垂直线与凹槽的底部垂直）。采用本实施例的 支撑柱结构将村底悬置于 槽内， 可以进一步减小村底与石墨盘之间的热传 导。
下面请参考图 14所示的本发明第九实施例的石墨盘的结构示意图。与前 一实施例相同的结构采用相同的标号表示。 本实施例与前一实施例的区别在 于， 石墨盘 20内的 槽的侧壁和底部形成 V型， 且村底 22的边缘的下方和 两侧的石墨盘 20内均形成有孔洞， 这样可以进一步减少对村底 22的边缘的 热辐射。
综上， 本发明实施例提供的石墨盘的凹槽具有与之对应的支撑架， 利用 该支撑架将村底悬置， 使得村底与石墨盘不接触， 在进行化学气相沉积工艺 时， 石墨盘作为村底的热源 （石墨盘在加热单元的加热下升温， 能够以热辐 射和热传导方式提供热量）， 由于村底与石墨盘不接触， 因此利用本发明所述 的石墨盘能够实现对村底的加热以热辐射方式为主， 而现有技术将村底直接 放置在石墨盘的 槽中（即村底与石墨盘直接接触）， 因此现有技术对村底的 加热以热传导为主， 当村底发生翘曲变形时， 现有技术容易造成村底的各点 受热不均匀， 导致村底上形成的外延材料层不均匀， 由于本发明利用热辐射 方式加热， 消除了现有技术利用热传导加热给村底上各点的加热的不均匀造 成的影响， 提高了对村底加热的均匀性， 相应改善了化学气相沉积工艺的均 勾性和村底上形成的外延材料层的均匀性；
进一步优化地， 所述支撑架的正面、 村底的正面与石墨盘的正面齐平， 可以避免村底两侧的石墨盘和支撑架影响村底的正面的气流的分布， 进一步 改善村底正面的气流分布的均匀性；
进一步优化地， 所述石墨盘中具有孔洞， 位于与所述村底的边缘对应的 石墨盘中， 所述孔洞用于减小石墨盘对村底的边缘的热辐射， 使得村底的边 缘与村底的中部受到的热辐射的基本相同， 从而进一步提高村底受热的均匀 性；
进一步优化地， 所述支撑架的与村底接触的表面上形成有多个孔隙， 用 于减小所述支撑架与村底的接触面积， 减少了来自石墨盘的热传导， 进一步 改善了村底受热的均匀性；
进一步优化地， 所述支撑架悬挂于所述 槽两侧的石墨盘上， 所述支撑 架的顶部固定于所述 槽的两侧的石墨盘上， 所述支撑架的底部用于放置村 底，所述支撑架的形状为 Z型圓环， 当村底需要随着石墨盘一起转动的时候， 有利于保证村底在石墨盘中的位置相对稳定。
虽然本发明己以较佳实施例披露如上， 但本发明并非限定于此。 任何本 领域技术人员， 在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内， 均可作各种更动与修改， 因此本发明的保护范围应当以权利要求所限定的范围为准。
