所述遮蔽体290开设有一开口291。所述开口291位于所述第一电极220和所述第二电极230之间的正上方,从而与所述气流通道240连通。所述待成膜工艺气体进入所述第一电极220和所述第二电极230之间后,仅可以从所述开口291流出所述遮蔽体290。所述开口291正对的上方设置所述沉积基板250,所述待成膜工艺气体经过所述气流通道240后自所述开口291流出,最后在所述沉积基板250上成膜。所述承载单元251承载所述沉积基板250,所述承载单元251可以是可平行移动的。
所述进气口260设置于所述遮蔽体290底部,所述喷嘴结构261连接所述进气口260,所述待成膜工艺气体进所述进气口260进入,并自所述喷嘴结构261喷出至所述气流通道240。
所述抽气管270的一端连接所述腔体210,另一端连接一真空泵VP。通过
所述抽气管270,所述真空泵VP将所述腔体210内空气抽走,以实现所述腔体210内的真空状态。
本实施方式中,所述第一电极220邻近所述第二电极230的一侧为非平面结构。具体地,所述第一电极220侧面的下端,也就是所述第一电极220远离所述开口291的一端,朝远离所述第二电极230的方向凹陷从而形成至少一凹陷部221。其中,当所述至少一凹陷部221的数量不止为一个时,多个所述凹陷部221在所述第一电极220的侧面上,越靠近所述开口291的所述凹陷部221的凹陷程度越小。
在一变更实施方式中,所述第一电极220邻近所述第二电极230的一侧及所述第二电极230邻近所述第一电极220的一侧,均为非平面结构。所述第一电极220的下端,也就是第一电极220远离所述开口291的一端,朝远离所述第二电极230的方向凹陷从而形成有凹陷部221。同时所述第二电极230的下端,也就是远离所述开口291的一端,朝远离所述第一电极220的方向凹陷从而形成有凹陷部221。所述凹陷部221的存在,能够克服由于所述进气口260附近的等离子体密度和气流密度较其他区域高,导致的成膜均匀性不佳的问题。
使用所述化学气相沉积设备200进行成膜工艺时,首先通过所述抽气管270将所述腔体210内的空气抽掉以使所述腔体210处于真空状态;然后打开所述射频电源280,使所述第一电极220和所述第二电极230之间产生射频电场;以此同时,使所述待成膜工艺气体进入所述腔体210。其中,打开所述射频电源280和使所述待成膜工艺气体进入所述腔体210中,这两个步骤可以先后进行,或者同时进行。
