下面以具体地实施例对本申请的技术方案以及本申请的技术方案如何解决上述技术问题进行详细说明。
本申请实施例提供了一种工艺腔室,应用于半导体工艺设备,该工艺腔室的结构示意图如图1及图3所示,包括:腔室本体1、基座2及卡盘组件3;腔室本体1内形成有反应腔11,基座2位于反应腔11内,卡盘组件3与基座2连接,用于承载晶圆(图中未示出);基座2包括基座本体21和多个悬臂22,多个悬臂22沿基座本体21的周向间隔且均匀设置,且每个悬臂22分别连接反应腔11的内壁和基座本体21的外壁,并且腔室本体1、基座本体21和悬臂22为一体成型结构,且由具有导电性和导热性的材质制成。
如图1及图3所示,腔室本体1具体可以采用金属材质制成的立方体结构,腔室本体1的中部形成中空的反应腔11,用于容置基座2及卡盘组件3。在实际应用中,腔室本体1的顶部可以设置有盖体(图中未示出),底部的抽气口12可以与半导体工艺设备的排气组件(图中未示出)连接,排气组件可以对反应腔11内部进行抽气,以使反应腔11呈真空状态,从而为晶圆提供反应环境。
基座2与腔室本体1采用一体成型结构,而且,基座2和腔室本体1的材质相同,并且均采用具有导电性和导热性的材质制成,例如采用金属材质。具体来说,基座本体21具体为圆柱形结构,基座本体21的外周设置有三个悬臂22,三个悬臂22沿基座本体21的周向间隔且均匀分布,且三个悬臂22与基座本体21及腔室本体1均采用一体成型的方式制成,并且每个悬臂22的两端分别与腔室本体1的内壁及基座本体21的外壁连接。卡盘组件3整体结构可以采用圆盘形结构,卡盘组件3设置于基座本体21的顶部,以用于承载并吸附晶圆。
本申请实施例提供的工艺腔室,其腔室本体、基座本体及悬臂采用相同的具有导电性和导热性的材质制成的一体成型结构,这使得悬臂与腔室本体之间不存在缝隙,以使得悬臂和腔室本体之间的导电性能较佳,从而大幅提高工艺腔室的射频回路均匀性;另外还提高了腔室本体向悬臂的热传导性能,从而大幅提高工艺腔室的整体温度均匀性,进而大幅提高晶圆的良率。进一步的,由于腔室本体、基座本体和悬臂为一体成型结构,这不仅能提高本申请实施例的结构稳定性,而且还能大幅降低应用及维护成本。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例并不限定悬臂22及腔室本体1的具体实施方式,例如悬臂22可以采用两个或者三个以上,而腔室本体1也可以采用圆筒形结构。因此本申请实施例并不以此为限,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图1所示,基座本体21内具有容置腔211,该容置腔211具有朝上的敞口;多个悬臂22内均设置有与容置腔211连通的安装通道221,腔室本体1上开设有通孔13,该通孔13将安装通道221与腔室本体1的外部连通;卡盘组件3与基座本体21密封连接,用以密封容置腔211的上述敞口。
如图1所示,基座本体21具体为圆筒形结构,以使基座本体21内形成有容置腔211。各悬臂22例如采用矩形的杆状结构,悬臂22为中空结构以形成安装通道221,腔室本体1上设置有与各悬臂22内安装通道221对应的通孔13。通孔13具体可以采用矩形结构,并且通孔13的截面尺寸与悬臂22内的安装通道221尺寸相同。安装通道221既可用于设置腔室本体1内外连接的线缆、气管和水管等零部件(图中未示出),也可以安装一些尺寸合适的零部件,从而大幅节约腔室本体1外部空间和以及腔室本体1的空间占用。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图1至图4所示,安装通道221在悬臂22上具有朝上的开口222,该开口222与容置腔211连通;卡盘组件3还与多 个悬臂22密封连接,用以密封安装通道221的上述开口222。
于本申请的一实施例中,卡盘组件3包括接口盘32,该接口盘32密封设置于容置腔211的上述敞口上。
卡盘组件3的接口盘32具体可以采用金属材质制成的圆盘形结构,接口盘32可以盖合于基座本体21顶部以密封容置腔211的敞口。接口盘32与基座本体21之间采用可拆卸方式连接,从而提高本申请实施例的拆装维护效率。另外,由于基座本体21及悬臂22均采用中空结构,还可以大幅节省本申请实施例的制造成本。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例并不限定悬臂22的具体形状,例如悬臂22也可以采用圆杆形结构。因此本申请实施例并不以此为限,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图1至图4所示,接口盘32包括盘主体321和与之连接的多个盖板322,其中,盘主体321与基座本体21密封连接,用以密封容置腔211的上述敞口;盖板322的数量与悬臂22的数量相同,且多个盖板322间隔且均匀分布在盘主体321的周围,各个盖板322一一对应地与各个悬臂22密封连接,用以密封安装通道221的上述开口222。
于本申请的一实施例中,盘主体321及多个盖板322为一体成型结构。
当接口盘32被装配至基座本体21上时,三个盖板322可对应盖合于三个悬臂22上,以用于一一对应地密封三个悬臂22的安装通道221的上述开口222,以保护悬臂22的安装通道221内安装的零部件,从而避免工艺腔室在执行工艺时对零部件造成腐蚀,进而大幅降低故障率及提高使用寿命。在实际应用时,拆开接口盘32即可以经由开口222,对基座本体21内及悬臂22内安装的零部件进行维护,从而大幅提高本申请实施例的拆装维护效率。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例并不限定盖板322的具体数量,只要盖板322的数量与悬臂22的数量对应设置即可。因此本申请实施例并不以此为限, 本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图1至图4所示,卡盘组件3包括静电卡盘31,静电卡盘31设置于盘主体321上,用于承载晶圆。
如图1至图4所示,静电卡盘31具体可以采用陶瓷材质制成的圆盘形结构,静电卡盘31的顶面可以用于承载晶圆,静电卡盘31的底面与盘主体321贴合设置。盘主体321可以盖合于基座本体21顶部,盘主体321可以用于安装静电卡盘31,以及为静电卡盘31的电极及背气提供接口。盘主体321的直径可以大于静电卡盘31的直径,以便于与静电卡盘31及基座本体21连接,并且连接方式可以采用可拆卸方式连接,从而提高本申请实施例的拆装维护效率。但是需要说明的是,本申请实施例并不限定卡盘组件3的具体类型,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图1至图3所示,每个盖板322和与之对应的悬臂22之间设置有定位结构4,用于限定盖板322在悬臂22上的位置。该定位结构可以有多种结构,例如,每个定位结构4均包括至少一对相互配合的定位凹部和定位凸部,该定位凹部设置于盖板322与悬臂22彼此相对的两个表面中的一者上;该定位凸部设置于于盖板322与悬臂22彼此相对的两个表面中的另一者上。具体地,如图1所示,上述定位凸部例如为设置于悬臂22顶面的定位柱41,上述定位凹部例如为设置于盖板322底面的定位孔(图中未示出),该定位孔与定位柱41相配合,以限定盖板322在悬臂22上的位置。
如图1至图3所示,定位凹部和定位凸部具体可以为两对,分别位于两个悬臂22及两个盖板322之间,定位结构4用于将接口盘32定位安装到正确的位置上。但是本申请实施例并不以此为限,例如定位结构4还可以采用凸块与凹槽配合的方式,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
于本申请的一实施例中,三个盖板322的外周面可以采用弧面结构,并 且弧面结构的直径小于反应腔11的内径,二者的差值例如为2mm(毫米)左右,以避免安装接口盘32时与反应腔11的内壁之间发生机械干涉,从而大幅提高本申请实施的拆装维护效率,并且还能有效降低本申请实施例的故障率。
另外,为了便于接口盘32与基座本体21之间的安装和密封,悬臂22的顶面靠近反应腔11侧壁处为封闭结构,即开口222远离容置腔211的侧边与反应腔11侧壁之间具有一预设距离,该预设距离具体可以为30mm,并且悬臂22的壁厚可以设置为20mm左右。定位柱41可以靠近反应腔11侧壁设置,以用于定位接口盘32的位置。但是本申请实施例并不以上为限,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图1至图4所示,基座本体21包括侧壁35和底盖34,其中,底盖34可拆卸地设置于侧壁35的底部,底盖34的上表面和侧壁35的内表面围成容置腔211;腔室本体1上,且与底盖34相对应的位置处设有维护口14,该维护口14与反应腔11连通,用于对底盖34进行维护。
如图1至图4所示,底盖34具体采用金属材质制成的壳状结构,底盖34的顶面与侧壁35的底面连接,并且底盖34的上表面和侧壁35的内表面围成容置腔211。底盖34用于封闭容置腔211,容置腔211内可安装多种部件,例如升降组件(图中未示出),该升降组件可以穿过接口盘32及静电卡盘31,用于带动晶圆相对于卡盘组件3升降,通过拆卸底盖34可方便维修容置腔211内的部件。底盖34和侧壁35具体可以通过法兰及螺栓配合连接,具体地,在侧壁35和底盖34的外表面上对应设置有两个连接法兰(351,341),两个连接法兰(351,341)在竖直方向上相互叠置,并通过多个紧固件(图中未示出)固定连接。但是本申请实施例并不以此为限,例如底盖34与侧壁35之间还可以采用螺接或者卡接等方式连接。底盖34与侧壁35采用可拆卸 式结构,以便于对升降组件进行维护,从而大幅提高拆装维护效率。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例并非所有实施例都必须包括有底盖34,例如底盖34可以与侧壁35之间采用一体成型结构,并且在侧壁35上开设有用于维护各零部件的维护门结构。因此本申请实施例并不以此为限,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整高度设置。腔室本体1的侧面可开设有矩形的维护口14,该维护口14的长度大于底盖34的直径,并且维护口14的高度大于底盖34的厚度,以便于底盖34的拆装维护,从而大幅提高本申请实施例的拆装维护效率。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例并不限定维护口14的具体位置及形状,只要维护口14所在位置与底盖34的位置对应设置即可。因此本申请实施例并不以此为限,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图3所示,底盖34的外壁的直径沿远离侧壁35的竖直方向逐渐减小。具体来说,底盖34具体可以为上大下小的锥形圆台结构,即底盖34外径自顶面至底面的方向上逐渐减小。采用上述设计,由于底盖34采用锥形圆台设计,以利于腔室本体1内的气体向下方的抽气口12流动,从而降低反应腔11内的气流稳定性,进而提高晶圆的良率。
于本申请的一实施例中,如图1所示,基座2及腔室本体1均为铝合金材质制成。具体来说,腔室本体1、基座本体21及悬臂22均可以采用铝合金材质制成,由于采用一体成型结构使得三者之间的导电性能优良,并且由于多个悬臂22之间几乎没有差异性,射频回路的等效电流可通过周向均布地由三个悬臂22流向腔室本体1并接地,从而提高了射频回路的均匀性。悬臂22的数量具体可以为三个,三个悬臂22均匀排布于基座本体21的外周,并且两相邻悬臂22之间的夹角为120度,由于腔室本体1、基座本体21及悬臂22之间的热传导优良,腔室本体1通过三个均布地悬臂22传导至基座本体21,不但可减小腔室本体1与基座本体21的温度差异,而且还可提高基 座本体21处的温度均匀性。另外,多个悬臂22在腔室本体1横截面的上宽度可以为100-200mm,但是本申请实施例并不以此为限,悬臂22的宽度具体可以根据悬臂22的数量以及对反应腔11内气流状态的影响而设定。因此本申请实施例对于悬臂22的具体规格并不限定,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况自行调整设置。
基于同一发明构思,本申请实施例提供了一种半导体工艺设备,包括工艺腔室、射频组件、进气组件和排气组件,其中,工艺腔室采用如上述各实施例提供的工艺腔室,射频组件和进气组件均设置于腔室本体的顶部,排气组件设置于腔室本体的底部。
应用本申请实施例,至少能够实现如下有益效果:
本申请实施例提供的半导体工艺设备,其通过采用本申请实施例提供的上述工艺腔室,可以大幅提高工艺腔室的射频回路均匀性、整体温度均匀性,从而大幅提高晶圆的良率;另外,不仅可以提高本申请实施例的结构稳定性,而且还可以大幅降低应用及维护成本。
