Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a substrate processing apparatus for disposing a gas supply passage outside the upper portion of the substrate to supply the process gas toward the interior space.
- Semiconductor device manufacturing processes require uniform heat treatment of the substrate at high temperatures.
- Examples of such processes include chemical vapor deposition, silicon epitaxial growth, and the like, in which a layer of material is deposited from the gas phase onto a semiconductor substrate placed in a susceptor in the reactor.
- the susceptor is heated to a high temperature, generally in the range of 400 to 1250 degrees by resistive heating, high frequency heating, and infrared heating, and the gas passes through the reactor and a chemical reaction causes the deposition process in close proximity to the substrate surface. This reaction causes the desired product to deposit on the substrate.
- Semiconductor devices have many layers on a silicon substrate, which 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.
- deposition space 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.

These embodiments are provided to explain in detail the present invention to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the shape of each element shown in the drawings may be exaggerated to emphasize a more clear description.
- the substrate is described as an example, but the present invention may be applied to various target objects.
- the substrate processing apparatus 1 includes a main chamber 10 and a chamber cover 50.
- the main chamber 10 has an open shape at an upper portion thereof, and has a passage 8 through which the substrate W is accessible.

- the susceptor 20 is installed inside the main chamber 10 and heats the substrate W placed thereon.
- the susceptor 20 has a disc shape corresponding to the substrate W, and the substrate W may be seated on the upper surface of the susceptor 20 so that a deposition process may be performed.
- the lift pin 25 may be installed through the susceptor 20, and the substrate W transferred through the passage 8 is loaded onto the lift pin 25.
- the lift pin 25 may be elevated by the lift pin driver 27, and when the substrate W is loaded, the lift pin 25 may be lowered to seat the substrate W on the susceptor 20.
- the chamber cover 50 is installed in the open upper portion of the main chamber 10. An internal space cut off from the outside by the main chamber 10, the chamber cover 50, and the heating block 60 described later is formed.
- the substrate W is loaded into the process space through the passage 8 and the process for the substrate W takes place in the process space.
- the chamber cover 50 is positioned above the susceptor 20 and has an upper installation space 52 communicating with the process space.
- a heating block 60 for heating the substrate W thereon is installed in the upper installation space 52.
- the heating block 60 has an open shape at the top, and the heating block cover 68 closes the upper portion of the open heating block 60 to block from the outside. Therefore, the accommodation space 61 formed in the heating block 60 is not only distinguished from the internal space, but also blocked from the outside.

- the heating block 60 is heated by the heater 65 installed in the accommodation space 61.
- the substrate may be heated by any one or both of the heating block 60 and the heater installed in the susceptor 20. That is, the substrate may be heated by conduction in contact with the susceptor 20 and may be heated through radiation through the heating block 60. Since conduction transfers heat through contact, the susceptor 20 can easily transfer a lot of heat to heat the substrate, while the amount of heat transferred to the substrate varies depending on the heater position inside the susceptor 20, Heating deviation depending on the position of the substrate is inevitable. However, since radiation transmits energy through electromagnetic waves, the heating block 60 cannot transfer much heat, while the heating block 60 can minimize the heating deviation of the substrate regardless of the arrangement of the heater 65. . Accordingly, the heating deviation on the substrate W may be minimized by using the heating blocks 60 and the susceptor 20 disposed on the upper and lower portions of the substrate W, respectively.
- the susceptor 20 and the heating block 60 are disposed substantially parallel to the substrate W. As shown in FIG. In addition, the surfaces facing the substrate W of the susceptor 20 and the heating block 60 are larger than the area of the substrate W in order to uniformly heat the substrate W, respectively. It may be a corresponding circular disk. Therefore, the heating of the substrate W may be minimized by heating the substrate W at the upper and lower portions of the substrate W to prevent the cause of process unevenness on the substrate W and the occurrence of the thickness variation of the deposited thin film.
- the time for heating the substrate W to a process temperature can be shortened, and warpage of the substrate due to heating can be prevented.
- the degree of thermal expansion between the top surface and the bottom surface of the substrate W is slightly different, which causes deformation of the substrate W.
- the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate W are simultaneously heated, deformation of the substrate W can be prevented.

- the process space also has a circular disk shape corresponding to the substrate W.
- the process space has a circular disk shape, a space in which the process gas does not react with the substrate W also occurs.
- a flow guide 40 is installed to reduce the space that does not react with the substrate W and to smoothly guide the movement of the process gas toward the exhaust passage 45. Since the process gas moves toward the exhaust passage 45, in order to distribute the process gas uniformly on the surface of the substrate W, it is necessary to guide the process gas so as to react uniformly on the substrate W. Therefore, the flow guide 40 is installed in the main chamber 10 and disposed outside the nozzle ring 35, and the straight guide portion 42 and the process gas which reduce the space not reacting with the substrate W are exhaust passages. It includes a circular guide portion 44 having a plurality of guide holes 43 for guiding a uniform movement toward (45).
- the circular guide part 44 is installed on the opposite side of the diffusion plate 75 and has an arc shape corresponding to the adjacent nozzle ring 35.
- the circular guide part 44 is formed with a plurality of guide holes 43 at predetermined intervals to guide the process gas introduced through the diffusion plate 75 to flow uniformly toward the substrate W.
- the linear guide part 42 is connected to the circular guide part 44 and is disposed at both sides of the susceptor 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the linear guide part 42 is disposed in parallel with a straight line L connecting the center of the gas supply passage 70 and the center of the exhaust passage 45 (or the outlet 46a). It has a guide surface 41, the straight guide portion 42 guides the linear flow in parallel with each other toward the circular guide portion 44 from the diffuser plate (75). In addition, the linear guide portion 42 may reduce the volume of the process space (C) to increase the reactivity of the process gas and the substrate (W) and minimize the consumption of the process gas.
- the present invention proceeds the deposition process by supplying a process gas from the outside of the substrate (W). Therefore, recently, the substrate W is gradually enlarged to overcome the limitation of supplying the process gas from the upper portion of the substrate W.
- the substrate W is heated by using the heating block 60 and the susceptor 20 respectively disposed above and below the substrate W, the temperature gradient is controlled to prevent warpage of the substrate W. Can be.
- the flow guide 40 is installed in the main chamber 10 to substantially reduce the process space in which the process is performed on the substrate W, and uniformly guide the process gas on the substrate W so that The uniformity of the center part and the edge part can be improved.
- the present invention can be applied to various types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and manufacturing methods.
