具体实施方式
以下通过特定的具体实例说明本公开的实施方式,本领域技术人员可由本说明书所揭露的内容轻易地了解本公开的其他优点与功效。本公开还可以通过另外不同的具体实施方式加以实施或应用,本说明书中的各项细节也可以基于不同观点与应用,在没有背离本公开的精神下进行各种修饰或改变。
请参阅图1,本实施例提出一种半导体设备100,该半导体设备100包括生长腔体110,基座111,靶材123及磁体122。基座111设置在生长腔体110内,基座111可设置在生长腔体110的底端,在基座111上允许放置一个或多个基板112(例如四个、六个或更多个)。在一些实施例中,基座111的直径范围可例如在200mm-800mm。在一些实施例中,基座111的尺寸例如为2-12英寸。基座111可由多种材料形成,包括碳化硅或涂有碳化硅的石墨。基板112的材料可包括蓝宝石,碳化硅,硅,氮化镓,金刚石,铝酸锂,氧化锌,钨,铜和/或铝氮化镓,该基板112还可例如为钠钙玻璃和/或高硅玻璃。一般而言,基板112可能由以下各种组成:具有兼容的晶格常数和热膨胀系数的材料,与生长其上的III-V族材料兼容的基板或在III-V生长温度下热稳定和化学温定的基板。基板112的尺寸在直径上可从50mm至100mm(或更大)的范围。例如,该基板112可为硅衬底,并可在硅衬底上形成金属化合物膜,例如为氮化铝薄膜或氮化镓薄膜,例如为(002)取向的氮化铝膜。如图1所示,基座111还连接一驱动单元113,驱动单元113可电性连接控制单元(未显示),驱动单元113用于驱动基座111上升或下降,驱动单元113可以采用诸如伺服电机或步进电机等的驱动装置,控制单元用于在磁控溅射的过程中控制驱动单元113驱动基座111上升,以使靶材123与基座111的间距可保持预定值不变,该预定值可以根据具体需要设定,以获得理想的薄膜均匀性、沉积速率等的工艺结果的最优值。因此,通过借助控制单元在磁控溅射的过程中控制驱动单元113驱动基座111上升,可使靶基间距保持不变,以提高薄膜均匀性和沉积速率,进而可以提高工艺质量。控制单元可以例如采用上位机或PLC等。在一些实施例中,基座111还可连 接一旋转单元,旋转单元用于在膜沉积期间使基座111旋转,进一步改善镀膜的厚度均匀性,及改善镀膜的应力均匀性。
值得说明的是,在一些实施例中,半导体设备100还可例如包括负载锁定室、承载盒和选择性附加的MOCVD反应腔室(未显示)以供大量应用。在一些实施例中,半导体设备100的靶材123可包括,但不限于含Al金属,合金,化合物,比如Al、AlN,AlGa,Al 2O 3等,且靶材可例如II/IV/VI族元素掺杂,以改善层相容性与装置性能。在一些实施例中,溅射工艺气体可包括,但不限于,比如N 2,NH 3,NO 2,NO等的含氮气体和比如Ar,Ne,Kr等的惰性气体。
在一些实施例中,本公开的半导体设备可用于形成高质量缓冲层和III-V族层的设备和方法,所述高品质缓冲层和III-V族层可用来形成可能的半导体组件,如射频组件、功率组件、或其它可能组件。
请参阅图2,在一些实施例中,基座111的中间部分可相对于边缘是凸起的,基板112设置在基座111的中间部分上,从而基板112的一部分覆盖边缘区域并且可与边缘区域间隔开。在基板112的边缘处,基座111与基板112之间没有直接的接触,这被认为能够减少基座111对基板112的接触冷却。当基板112在整个沉积过程因离子轰击而被加热时,由于基板112与基座111的中间部分热接触,所以基板112的中间部分可被基座111冷却,基板112的边缘不会受到直接接触冷却,因此经受较高的温度。这使得膜层的边缘更具拉伸性,从而再次起到膜层上应力的总体变化的作用。
请参阅图3-4,图3显示为基座111的背面。在一些实施例中,在基座111的背面上可设置有至少一个加热器,其中,加热器可包括多个加热电极126及一个加热线圈127,在靠近加热电极126的位置上还可设有测温点128。在本实施例中,多个加热电极126连接在一个加热线圈127。在一些实施例中,加热线圈127可包括第一部分及第二部分,第一部分及第二部分关于该加热线圈127的中心对称连接,其中第一部分从外至内依次包括第一弧边127a,第二弧边127b及第三弧边127c,第一弧边127a,第二弧边127b及第三弧边127c可以为同心圆形状。第一弧边127a的一端连接第二弧边127b的一端,第二弧边127b的另一端连接第三弧边127c,第一部分通过第三弧边127c连接第二部分,形成圆形的加热线圈127。第一弧边127a的另一端连接加热电极126,
如图3所示,在多个加热电极126连接外部电源后,该加热线圈127开始对该基座111进行加热。通过加热线圈127,能够保证对基座111的加热均匀性,从而能够保证基板112的温度均匀性。该加热线圈127可例如设置在热解氮化硼基底上。在一些实施例中,为进一步提高加热的均匀性,可对该加热线圈127的形状及圈数进行调整。在一实施例中,基座111 的背面可设置7个、8个或更多個加热电极126。
请参阅图5,在一些实施例中,为进一步提高基座111的加热均匀性,可对该加热线圈127进行调整,例如该加热线圈127通过一漆包线127d经过弯折形成的,该漆包线127d的横截面可为圆形或方形或扁平形。可根据实际情况,调整该漆包线127d的饶制圈数,或者将该加热线圈127设置成非对称形状,或者将漆包线饶制成其他形状。
请参阅图3及图6,在本实施例中,靠近加热电极126的位置上还可设有测温点128,该测温点128连接至测温装置,在本实施例中,该测温装置包括依次连接的检测回路129a以及温度采集模块129b。其中,检测回路129a可例如由两种不同材质的导体构成,该检测回路129a的一端(工作端)与测温点128接触,以产生热电信号。温度采集模块129b用于通过检测回路129a的另一端(自由端)的第一检测点和第二检测点,接收热电信号,并根据该热电信号计算测温点128的温度。由于检测回路129a由多种不同材质的导体构成,该热电信号对第一检测点和第二检测点的电势差会产生影响,温度采集模块129b通过计算第一检测点和第二检测点的电势差来计算测温点128的温度。本实施例中,该测温装置可例如为热电偶。在一些实施例中,还可以使用其他测温仪来测量基座111上的温度,例如还可以通过红外感温仪来测量基座111上的温度。本实施例中通过测温装置可实时得知基座111各个位置上的温度情况,可以保证基座111上的温度处于均匀稳定的状态,同时还可以保证基座111上的基板112处于均匀稳定的温度环境中。
请再参阅图1,在本实施例中,靶材123可设置在生长腔体110的顶部,靶材123与溅射电源(未显示)电连接,在磁控溅射过程中,溅射电源向靶材123输出溅射功率,以使在生长腔体110内形成的等离子体刻蚀靶材123。在一些实施例中,靶材123的材料选自但不限于以下各者的群组:大体上的纯铝、含铝合金、含铝化合物(如AlN、AlGa、Al 2O 3)和掺杂有II/IV/VI族元素以改良层兼容性和装置性能的含铝靶材。在一些实施例中,可通过用掺杂靶材料和/或将掺杂气体输送至所产生溅射等离子体来将掺杂原子添加至沉积薄膜,以调节沉积PVD AlN缓冲层的电特性、机械特性和光学特性,例如以使得薄膜适合在其上制造III族氮化物装置。在一些实施例中,在生长腔体110内形成的薄膜(例如AlN缓冲层)的厚度在0.1-1000纳米之间。
请参阅图1,在本实施例中,磁体122可位于靶材123的上方,磁体122围绕靶材123的中心轴进行旋转,例如磁体122围绕靶材123的中心轴旋转90°或180°或360°或任意角度,或者磁体122可围绕靶材123的中心轴旋转任一角度。在本实施例中,该磁体122连接一驱动机构,该驱动机构带动该磁体122进行旋转的同时,还可以进行上下往复运动。该驱动机构包括第一电机114,传动杆115,第二电机116及升降组件。其中第一电机114通过 传动杆115连接第二电机116,第一电机114例如为伺服电机或步进电机,传动杆115可例如为丝杆,第二电机116例如为旋转伺服电机,由此第一电机114可通过传动杆115带动第二电机116进行上下往复运动,第一电机114驱动传动杆115正向,或反向转动可使第二电机116作往复运动。在不同实施例中,该升降组件包括外轴118及内轴119,内轴119设置在外轴118内,内轴119允许沿着外轴118运动,同时外轴118设置在生长腔体110上,部分内轴119设置在生长腔体110内,在内轴119的一端上还设有一固定装置121,磁体122通过该固定装置121固定在内轴119的一端上,同时在外轴118在与生长腔体110接触的周围还设置有密封装置120,通过该密封装置120来实现真空密封,该密封装置120可例如为密封圈。在不同实施例中,第二电机116通过输出轴117连接内轴119,输出轴117部分位于外轴118内,第二电机116通过该输出轴117可带动内轴119进行旋转,同时第一电机114通过传动杆115带动第二电机116进行上下往复运动,由此当同时打开第一电机114及第二电机116时,该内轴119可在进行上下往复运动的同时,还可以进行旋转运动,从而可以带动内轴119上的磁体122也作相应的运动。当打开第一电机114,关闭第二电机116时,该内轴119可只进行上下往复运动。当关闭第一电机114,打开第二电机116时,该内轴119可只进行旋转运动。由此工作人员可根据实现情况选择打开和/或关闭第一电机114和/或第二电机116。
在一些实施中,磁体122在作旋转运动时,靶材123可保持静止状态,也可绕自身中心轴旋转,但是靶材123和磁体122之间可存在旋转速度差。当磁体122进行旋转时,可以通过动力源如电机来驱动靶材123环绕自身中心轴旋转,以使靶材123和磁体122之间存在速度差。靶材123和磁体122的相对运动,可使得磁体122所产生的磁场均匀地扫描过靶材123的溅射面,且由于本实施例中电场与均匀分布于靶材123溅射面的磁场同时作用于二次电子,可调整二次电子的运动轨迹以增加二次电子与氩原子的碰撞次数,使得靶材123溅射面附近的氩原子被充分电离,以产生更多的氩离子;且通过更多的氩离子轰击靶材123,可有效地提高靶材123的溅射利用率和溅射均匀性,进一步提高沉积薄膜的质量和均匀性。

请参阅图34,在一实施例中,对基板上的薄膜(例如氮化铝镀膜)进行分析,从图中可以看出,当相对温度小于0.1时,A1区表现为疏松纤维状微晶,在该结构为倒锥状纤维,同时晶界存在大量间隙,薄膜强度差。当相对温度在0.1-0.3时,A2区表现为致密纤维状微晶。当相对温度在0.3-0.5时,A3区表现为柱状晶特征,在该区域内各个晶粒分别生长获得均匀柱状晶,柱状晶晶体内缺陷密度低,晶界致密度高,呈现出晶体学平面特征。当相对温度大于0.5时,A4区表现为粗大的等轴晶,等轴晶内缺陷密度很低,薄膜结晶非常完整,强度较高。由此,当相对温度较低时,即0-0.3时,溅射离子在入射到基板表面后,未能发生充分的表面扩散,就被后续溅射离子不断覆盖,由此形成相互平行生长的较致密纤维组织,纤维间被相对较疏松的边界所包围,纤维组织边界致密度低,结合强度低,薄弱而易于开裂,且在断面形貌上表现出明显的束状纤维特征。当相对稳定较高时,即0.3-0.7时,溅射离子在入射到基板表面后,能发生充分的表面扩散,溅射离子的迁移距离增加,微细纤维组织由于表面扩散形成柱状晶,柱状晶在经过体扩散及晶界移动形成粗大的等轴晶,晶界间的缺陷减少。因此,本公开的半导体设备在均匀高温下沉积镀膜,可成膜速度快,薄膜(例如氮化铝)的晶格排列呈现柱状晶方向生长,成膜的结晶性好,成膜均匀性也得到提高。其中,相对温度为基板温度与薄膜熔化温度的比值,如果基板温度较低,则相对温度较低,如果基板温度较高,则相对温度较高。

请参阅图36,图中显示为两种不同成膜条件下形成的氮化铝薄膜的摇摆曲线,然后通过摇摆曲线来研究氮化铝薄膜(002)晶面的位错密度。需要说明的是,两次成膜条件的差别仅在于对基板的前处理。从图36中可以看出,C1曲线的半峰宽为227弧角,C2曲线的半峰宽为259弧角,由此得出未对基板进行前处理获得的氮化铝薄膜的生长速度快,位错密度大,对基板进行前处理获得氮化铝薄膜的生长速度慢,位错密度小。因此在对基板进行前处理后,在相同条件下形成的氮化铝薄膜的质量得到提高。
