Description

加热装置以及加热腔室 技术领域
本发明涉及半导体设备加工技术领域,具体地,涉及一种加热装置以及加热腔室。
背景技术
物理气相沉积(Physical Vapor Deposition,以下简称PVD)技术是半导体领域常用的加工技术,例如磁控溅射工艺,通常是在真空腔室中进行的,且在真空腔室内设置有加热装置,该加热装置包括用于承载基片的基座,以及加热组件,该加热组件用于对基片进行加热和温度保持,以使其达到溅射工艺所需要的温度。
现有的一种加热装置是电阻加热器,其是通过在基座内设置电阻丝,由电阻丝产生的热量通过基座传递至基片,来实现基片的加热。为了提高热传导效率,提高加热均匀性,在基座内还设置有背吹管路,用以向基座与基片之间的间隙输送惰性气体(例如氩气)。此外,电阻加热器还具有热电偶,用以检测基座的温度用于控制。
电阻加热器在实际应用中不可避免地存在以下问题:
其一,电阻加热器的加热效率较低,基片的升温速度较慢,从而降低了生产效率。尤其对于高温PVD工艺,要求基片在被传送至工艺腔室之后,能够迅速被加热至工艺所需温度并保持;在工艺结束之后,又要求基片的温度能够迅速被降至机械手的耐受温度以下,以保证机械手能够正常进行取放片操作。因此,目前的电阻加热器无法达到高温PVD工艺对快速升降温的要求。
其二,由于热电偶是通过测量基座的温度来间接获取基片温度,而基座与基片会因热传导效率等因素存在温度差异(相差至少100℃), 从而基片温度控制的准确度较低。
为解决上述问题,通常利用加热灯泡采用热辐射的方式辅助电阻加热器对基片进行加热。具体地,图1为现有的PVD设备的结构示意图。请参阅图1,PVD设备包括加热腔室10,在加热腔室10的内部设置有密封石英窗13,借助密封石英窗13将加热腔室10分隔为上子腔室和下子腔室。其中,在下子腔室内设有用于承载基片的基座11,在基座11的内部设置有电阻丝111,用以加热设置于基座11上的基片14。为了使基片14能够快速升温,提高工艺效率,在上子腔室内的顶部设置有加热灯泡12,其通过热辐射方式透过密封石英窗13对设置在基座11表面的基片14进行加热。如图2所示,为沿图1中A-A线的剖面图。加热灯泡12沿加热腔室10的周向排列设置。
上述加热装置在实际应用中不可避免地存在以下问题:
其一,由于加热灯泡12只能在大气环境中使用,因而只能采用上加热的方式,即,在基片上方对其进行热辐射,这种加热方式的应用范围较小,例如无法应用在顶部具有靶材的磁控溅射腔室。
其二,由于加热灯泡12只能在大气环境中使用,热量损失较大,这在进行高温加热(500℃以上)时尤为明显,从而加热效率较低,无法维持高温加热。而且,加热灯泡12必须透过密封石英窗13间接加热基片14,从而造成热量损失,这进一步造成加热效率降低。

而且,通过设置加热灯管24的形状和加热丝的长度,可以获得有效加热区域244的形状和尺寸。优选的,有效加热区域244的形状与上述承载面的形状相对应。例如,在本实施例中,如图4A所示,被置于支撑柱22的顶端上的被加热件23在基板21上正投影的形状为圆形,即,承载面在基板21上正投影的形状为圆形。在这种情况下,各根加热灯管24中的加热丝共同形成的形状也为圆形,具体来说,多个加热丝的长度自承载面的中心区域分别向两侧的边缘区域逐渐减小,且通过将各根加热丝的端点依次连接,可以获得一个圆形,从而最终形成了圆形的有效加热区域244。在实际应用中,有效加热区域244的直径C可以大于被加热件23的直径,以保证有效加热区域244在基板21上的投影覆盖承载面在基板21上的投影。另外,相邻两根加热灯管24之间的间距D可以根据具体情况而自由设定。
优选的,加热灯管为红外短波灯管,由于短波辐射的功率要大于中长波,而红外短波灯管的热能分配主要集中在波长<2μm区域,为62.5%,可以对物体迅速加热,从而红外短波灯管可以穿透被加热件23的表面,进而实现对被加热件23的快速加热。
另外优选的,多根加热灯管24按承载面的不同区域被划分为多组加热组,且同一加热组中的加热灯管24电性连接,不同加热组中的加热灯管相互屏蔽。具体地,图4B为本发明实施例采用的加热灯管的分区排布图。请参阅图4B,多根加热灯管24按承载面的中心区域和两侧的边缘区域被划分为两组加热组(Z2,Z1),在每组加热组中,加热灯 管24之间通过导线电性连接,而不同组的加热组之间相互屏蔽,从而可以分别对两组加热组中的加热灯管24的加热功率进行单独控制,进而可以实现分区调节被加热件23中心区域和边缘区域的温度,以减少二者之间的温差,进一步提高被加热件23的温度均匀性。
进一步地,可以利用加热控制系统对上述被加热件23中心区域和边缘区域的温度进行单独控制。具体地,图4C为本发明实施例采用的加热控制系统的原理框图。请参阅图4C,加热控制系统包括测温器301、温度控制器302、调节控制器303以及两个功率控制器(304,305),其中,测温器301用于在加热工艺执行阶段检测被加热件23任一位置的实时温度,并将其发送至温度控制器302。温度控制器302用于根据由测温器301发送而来的实时温度Tmeas以及预设目标温度Tp生成控制信号U,并将其发送至调节控制器303。该预设目标温度Tp为工艺所需的被加热件温度。调节控制器303用于根据控制信号U和加热权重函数分别获得与两组加热组(Z1,Z2)相对应的两个子控制信号(U1,U2),并将子控制信号U1发送至第一功率控制器304,将子控制信号U2发送至第二功率控制器305。第一功率控制器304用于根据子控制信号U1调节加热组Z1中加热灯管的加热功率,从而实现被加热件23边缘区域的温度调节。第二功率控制器305用于根据子控制信号U2调节加热组Z2中加热灯管的加热功率,从而实现被加热件23中心区域的温度调节。
由此,可以实现对被加热件中心区域和边缘区域的温度进行独立控制,从而可以使被加热件的温度均匀性满足要求。而且,通过在加热工艺执行阶段利用单个测温器301检测被加热件23任一位置的实时温度,即仅使用单一测温点,就可以实现被加热件23温度的分区控制,从而在提高被加热件的温度均匀性的基础上,可以避免因多个测温点带来的机台设计和安装难度增加问题,而且还可以降低真空腔室泄漏的几率, 从而可以降低影响薄膜沉积质量的风险。
另外,如图4B所示,三个支撑柱22分别为第一支撑柱221、第二支撑柱222和第三支撑柱223,其中,可以将其中一个支撑柱22用作测温器301的热电偶,例如,将第二支撑柱222用作测温器301的热电偶,并设置在加热组Z1所在区域内,该第二支撑柱222兼具支撑和温度检测两个功能,从而不仅可以简化加热装置的结构,而且由于热电偶可以与被加热件23直接接触,因而可以更准确地获得被加热件23的温度,从而可以提高温控的准确度。当然,在实际应用中,测温器也可以为诸如红外传感器等的非接触式传感器。
上述加热权重函数满足:平衡各组加热组中加热灯管的加热功率比重,以达到被加热件23中心区域和边缘区域之间的温差,提高被加热件23的温度均匀性的目的。具体地,加热权重函数可以为:在Tmeas<Tp-T时,Un=U。在Tmeas≥Tp-T时,Un=fn(U)=knU+b。其中,n为大于0,且小于或等于N的整数,N表示加热组的组数。Tmeas为由测温器检测到的实时温度。Un表示与第n个加热组相对应的子控制信号。U表示控制信号。fn(U)表示与第n个加热组相对应的预设对应法则。Tp为预设目标温度。T为预设阈值温度。kn表示与第n个加热组相对应的权重系数。b为常数。
图4D为本发明实施例采用的加热控制系统的流程框图。请参阅图4D,假设T为50℃。当Tmeas<Tp-50℃时,Un=U,这样,在被加热件的实时温度升温至Tp-50℃的升温阶段中,各个功率控制器均在子控制信号Un=U的控制下分别调节两组加热组(Z1,Z2)中加热灯管的加热功率,保证升温速度。当Tmeas≥Tp-50℃时,Un=fn(U)=knU+b,即,U1=f1(U)=k1U+b;U2=f2(U)=k2U+b。这样,当被加热件的实时温度接近工艺温度时,第一功率控制器在子控制信号U1=f1(U)=k1U+b的控制下调节加热组Z1中加热灯管的加热功率;第二功率控 制器在子控制信号U2=f2(U)=k2U+b的控制下调节加热组Z2中加热灯管的加热功率,从而在将被加热件的温度保持在Tp-50℃内的保温阶段中,保证被加热件的温度均匀性满足要求。
由上可知,采用如上分段函数作为加热权重函数,不仅可以在保温阶段实现被加热件的温度均匀性满足要求,而且还在升温阶段保证升温速度,从而可以减少工艺时间,提高工艺效率。
优选的,该加热权重函数的建立可以采用以下方式:加热权重函数是在预设阶段,根据被加热件的温度分布情况通过试凑方法建立。例如,在建立加热权重函数的过程中,在预设阶段,一一对应地在用于支撑被加热件的承载面中各组加热组所在区域内设置测温点。在检测过程中,对各个测温点的实时温度进行检测;若任意一个测温点检测到的实时温度接近预设目标温度时,则根据此时由各个测温点检测到的实时温度,获得被加热件的温度分布情况,并根据该温度分布情况建立加热权重函数,以使被加热件不同区域之间的温差满足工艺对温度均匀性的要求。在实际应用中,可以利用多个热电偶或者红外传感器一一对应地检测被加热件在各个测温点处的实时温度。
下面对建立加热权重函数的具体实施方式进行详细描述。其中,加热灯管的分区方式以如下为例:多根加热灯管被划分为三组加热组(Z1~Z3),分别为被加热件的承载面的中心区域Z1、位于该中心区域Z1两侧的中间区域Z2以及分别位于两个中间区域Z2外侧的两个边缘区域Z3。与之相对应的,测温点为三个,且分别位于中心区域Z1、中间区域Z2和边缘区域Z3内。
图4E为本发明实施例建立加热权重函数的流程框图。请参阅图4E,建立加热权重函数包括以下步骤:
步骤S1,初始化权重系数kn=1,即,初始化加热权重函数为:U1=U,U2=U,U3=U,以及设置预设目标温度Tp为工艺所需的温度。
步骤S2,各组加热组开始加热,同时分别检测在被加热件中心区域Z1、中间区域Z2和边缘区域Z3内的测温点的实时温度Tmeas,并将其发送至温度控制器。
步骤S3,温度控制器在任意一个测温点检测到的实时温度Tmeas接近预设目标温度Tp时,判断被加热件的温度均匀性是否满足要求,若是,则进入步骤S4,若否,则进入步骤S5。具体地,若实时温度Tmeas∈[Tp-5℃,Tp+5℃],则认为该实时温度Tmeas接近预设目标温度Tp。
步骤S4,确定当前权重系数作为工艺所需的权重系数。
步骤S5,参考实时温度接近预设目标温度Tp的区域(在此,为中心区域Z1),并根据检测到的中间区域Z2和边缘区域Z3的实时温度对k1和k2进行调整。具体地,判断边缘区域Z3的实时温度是否大于中心区域Z1的实时温度,若是,则减小k1,然后将减小后的权重系数作为当前权重系数k1;若否,则增大k1,然后将增大后的权重系数作为当前权重系数k1。同时,判断边缘区域Z2的实时温度是否大于中心区域Z1的实时温度,若是,则减小k2,然后将减小后的权重系数作为当前权重系数k2;若否,则增大k2,然后将增大后的权重系数作为当前权重系数k2。
步骤S6,各组加热组停止加热,并在被加热件的温度降至室温之后,进入步骤S2。
在上述步骤S1中,优选地,权重系数的初始值kn=1,这样,在升温阶段,可以使各组加热组均能达到额定功率输出,从而可以保证升温速度,减少工艺时间,进而可以提高工艺效率。当然,本发明并不局限于此,在实际应用中,加热权重函数的初始值还可以根据实际情况设置其他数值。
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,加热权重函数为分段函数,但是,本发明并不局限于此,在实际应用中,加热权重函数还可以为Un=fn (U),这样同样能够实现被加热件的温度均匀性满足要求。
还需要说明的是,在本实施例中,Un为线性函数,但是,本发明并不局限于此,在实际应用中,Un还可以为诸如二次函数等的非线性函数,例如,二次函数Un=k1nU2+k2nU+b。
热辐射屏蔽组件用于屏蔽由加热灯管24朝向周围和底部辐射出的热量。具体地,请一并参阅图5A-5C,在本实施例中,热辐射屏蔽组件包括第一屏蔽件和第二屏蔽件。其中,第一屏蔽件为三个,分别为第一屏蔽件261,第一屏蔽件262和第一屏蔽件263,每个第一屏蔽件包括第一水平和第一竖直部,其中,第一水平部位于加热灯管24的下方,且覆盖有效加热区域244;第一竖直部与第一水平部连接,且环绕在加热灯管24的加热段241(即有效加热区域244)的周围,并且第一竖直部的顶部高于加热灯管24,如图5C所示。此外,各个第一屏蔽件的第一竖直部沿平行于承载面的方向间隔排布;各个第一屏蔽件的第一水平部沿垂直于承载面的方向间隔排布。借助上述三个第一屏蔽件,可以防止加热灯管24直接作用于腔室中除了被加热件23之外的其他零件,而且第一屏蔽件的数量越多,屏蔽掉的辐射热量越多,这是因为:在真空中,热量的传导主要为热辐射,假设加热灯管24中加热丝的温度为T0,由其产生的红外短波直接辐射作用于第一屏蔽件261,该第一屏蔽件261吸收辐射热量,并且温度升高至T1,同时发出热辐射至第一屏蔽件262,同理,第一屏蔽件262吸收辐射热量,并且温度升高至T2;第一屏蔽件263吸收辐射热量,并且温度升高至温度为T3。当第一屏蔽件263发出热辐射至基板21时,基板21吸收辐射热量,并且温度升高至T4。根据热辐射规律,用作反射屏的三个第一屏蔽件由内而外会有温度的梯度变化,即T0>T1>T2>T3>T4,从而可以降低加热灯管24辐射到基板21和腔室内其他零件的热量,进而可以有效避免这些零件的温度过高。在实际应用中,第一屏蔽件的数量并不局限于三个,还可以 根据具体情况设定为一个,两个或者四个以上。
第二屏蔽件包括第二水平部252和第二竖直部251,其中,第二竖直部251环绕在承载面的周围,且第二竖直部251的顶部高于承载面;第二水平部252环绕在第二竖直部251的外侧,且第二水平部252所在平面高于第一竖直部和加热灯管24。在本实施例中,第二竖直部251位于最内层第一竖直部的内侧,当然,在实际应用中,第二竖直部251也可以位于最外层第一竖直部的外侧,或者插在任意的相邻两个第一竖直部之间。
借助第二屏蔽件,可以有效屏蔽加热灯管24向四周辐射出的热量。由上可知,在上述第一屏蔽件和第二屏蔽件共同作用下,可以防止加热灯管24直接作用于腔室中除了被加热件23之外的其他零件,从而可以有效避免这些零件的温度过高。在实际应用中,第一水平部、第一竖直部、第二水平部252和第二竖直部251的朝向加热灯管24的表面可以根据具体情况包括平面或者曲面。而且,第一屏蔽件和第二屏蔽件的材料可以包括诸如钼、不锈钢或者石英等的耐高温、且在高温下变形小、放气小的材料。另外,优选的,分别对第一水平部、第一竖直部、第二水平部252和第二竖直部251的朝向加热灯管24的表面进行抛光或者涂镀处理,以提高光反射率。
在本实施例中,加热装置还包括两个电极281和两个电连接件282。其中,两个电极281设置在基板21上,且位于靠近基板21的中心位置处;电极281的上端和下端分别位于基板21的上方和下方;两个电连接件282位于最下层第一水平部与基板21之间,各个电连接件282的其中一端分别与各个电极281电连接,各个电连接件282的其中另一端通过导线(图中未示出)与加热灯管24电连接。
优选的,为了防止电连接件282与加热灯管的连接处以及电极281与电连接件282的连接处对其他元件产生电场干扰,加热装置还包括第 一电屏蔽件271和第二电屏蔽件272。其中,第一电屏蔽件271采用环形结构,且环绕设置在基板21上,并且具有第一封闭空间,用于屏蔽在电连接件282和加热灯管24的连接处产生的电场;第二电屏蔽件272包覆在电极281与电连接件282的连接处,形成第二封闭空间,用于分别屏蔽在两个电极281及二者与电连接件282的连接处产生的电场。
优选的,为了降低基板21的温度,在基板21内设置有冷却通道(图中未示出),并利用冷却水管31向该冷却通道内输送冷却水,从而可以实现对基板21进行冷却。
作为上述实施例的一个变型实施例,图6为本发明实施例的变型实施例采用的加热灯管的排布图。请参阅图6,本变型实施例与上述实施例相比,其区别仅在于,加热灯管的排布方式不同。
具体地,在本实施例中,每根加热灯管包括弧形部321和与该弧形部321的两端连接的直线部322,其中,各根加热灯管的弧形部321同心、且半径不同,并且等间隔排布;各根加热灯管的直线部相互平行,且等间隔排布。各根加热灯管中的加热丝共同形成有效加热区域323,该有效加热区域323可以实现均匀地加热被加热件。
需要说明的是,在上述各个实施例中,加热灯管为多根,但是本发明并不局限于此,在实际应用中,加热灯管还可以为一根,并通过均匀缠绕形成一定形状而形成有效加热区域,例如,该加热灯管可以为为等间距的平面螺旋管,以实现均匀地加热被加热件。
作为另一个技术方案,本发明实施例还提供一种加热腔室,图7为本发明实施例提供的加热腔室的剖视图。请一并参阅图3和图7,加热腔室40包括加热装置和用于驱动该加热装置上升或下降的驱动装置。其中,加热装置设置在加热腔室40内部,其采用了上述各个实施例提供的加热装置。
在本实施例中,驱动装置包括第一提升轴30、第一驱动机构(图 中未示出)、至少三个动支撑柱41、连接件43、第二提升轴44和第二驱动机构42。其中,第一提升轴30竖直设置,且该第一提升轴30的上端与基板21连接,第一提升轴30的下端竖直向下延伸至加热腔室的外部。第一驱动机构设置在加热腔室40的底部,并与第一提升轴30连接,用于通过第一提升轴30驱动基板21上升或下降,从而带动支撑柱22上升或下降,进而实现被加热件23的取放片操作。
至少三个动支撑柱41竖直设置在连接件43上,且沿基板21的周向间隔分布,并且至少三个动支撑柱41的顶端用于支撑被加热件23;第二提升轴44竖直设置,且该第二提升轴44的上端与连接件43连接,第二提升轴44的下端竖直向下延伸至加热腔室40的外部;第二驱动机构42设置在加热腔室40的底部,并与第二提升轴44连接,用于通过第二提升轴44驱动至少三个动支撑柱41同步上升或下降。当被加热件23被传入加热腔室40内时,首先放置在动支撑柱41上;然后在第二驱动机构42的驱动下,动支撑柱41下降至低于支撑柱22的顶端位置处,在此过程中被加热件23从动支撑柱41被传递至支撑柱22上,此时可以开始加热被加热件23。
当然,在实际应用中,也可以仅使用上述第一提升轴30和第一驱动机构驱动基板21上升或下降,以实现被加热件23的取放片操作,在这种情况下,还需要通过在热辐射屏蔽组件的相应位置处开设通道,用以供用于传输被加热件23的机械手通过,并实现取放片操作。
另外,为了保证腔室的真空度,加热腔室40还包括波纹管组件,该波纹管组件包括上法兰293、下法兰295和波纹管294。其中,上法兰293通过紧固螺钉291固定在基板21的底部,且套设在第一提升轴30的顶端,并且电极281位于由上法兰293的中心孔以及第一提升轴30的中空空间内。此外,在上法兰293与基板21之间还设置有密封件292,用以对二者之间的间隙进行密封。下法兰295套设在第一提升轴 30上,并与之密封连接;波纹管294套设在第一提升轴30上,且位于上法兰293和下法兰295之间。
本发明提供的加热腔室,其通过采用上述加热装置,不仅可以应用在真空环境和大气环境内,而且可以提高加热效率和加热均匀性。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本发明的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对本发明专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本发明的保护范围。
