原子层沉积设备及原子层沉积薄膜的制备方法Atomic layer deposition equipment and preparation method of atomic layer deposition film 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及原子沉积镀膜领域,更具体地,涉及一种原子层沉积设备及原子层沉积薄膜的制备方法。The present invention relates to the field of atomic deposition coating, and more specifically, to an atomic layer deposition equipment and a method for preparing an atomic layer deposition film.
背景技术Background technique
薄膜技术是半导体技术中的重要一环,在半导体技术的发展中起到重要的作用。原子层沉积(ALD)技术作为一种薄膜沉积技术,在薄膜沉积领域起到越来越重要的作用。Thin film technology is an important part of semiconductor technology and plays an important role in the development of semiconductor technology. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology, as a thin film deposition technology, plays an increasingly important role in the field of thin film deposition.
传统的原子层沉积技术在真空条件下进行,单个ALD循环周期可以分为四个步骤。首先,用惰性载气(如高纯N 2,Ar等)将第一气相前驱体通入真空的反应腔,第一气相前驱体与反应腔中的基片发生化学反应直至饱和,由于ALD反应的自限制性,第一气相前驱体与基片表面可接触的活性基团发生反应而形成一层反应基团。之后,使用惰性气体清洗,把多余的第一气相前驱体和反应副产物带出反应腔。然后,第二气相前驱体可以以脉冲形式通入反应腔,第二气相前驱体与在基片表面上的可接触的反应基团发生化学反应直至饱和。最后,使用惰性气体清洗,把多余的第二气相前驱体和反应副产物带出反应腔,一个ALD周期结束。通常一个ALD周期需要0.5秒到几秒,经过一个周期,单层薄膜沉积到基底上。循环上述的ALD反应周期,可以使薄膜逐层沉积到基片上。由此,通过控制ALD周期数可以实现对薄膜厚度的精确控制,薄膜厚度控制精度可以在埃米范围内。 Traditional atomic layer deposition technology is performed under vacuum conditions, and a single ALD cycle can be divided into four steps. First, use an inert carrier gas (such as high-purity N 2 , Ar, etc.) to pass the first gas phase precursor into the vacuum reaction chamber. The first gas phase precursor chemically reacts with the substrate in the reaction chamber until it is saturated. Due to the ALD reaction Self-limiting, the first gas phase precursor reacts with the active groups contactable on the surface of the substrate to form a layer of reactive groups. Afterwards, an inert gas is used to clean the excess first gas phase precursor and reaction by-products out of the reaction chamber. Then, the second gas phase precursor can be introduced into the reaction chamber in the form of a pulse, and the second gas phase precursor chemically reacts with the accessible reactive groups on the surface of the substrate until saturated. Finally, an inert gas is used to clean the excess second gas phase precursor and reaction by-products out of the reaction chamber, and an ALD cycle ends. Usually an ALD cycle takes 0.5 seconds to several seconds. After one cycle, a single layer of film is deposited on the substrate. By cycling the above-mentioned ALD reaction cycle, the film can be deposited onto the substrate layer by layer. Therefore, precise control of the film thickness can be achieved by controlling the number of ALD cycles, and the film thickness control accuracy can be within the angstrom range.
在基片上通过原子层沉积形成的薄膜可以根据需求具有不同的图案,即,在沉积过程中,薄膜在基片表面的特定区域优先生长,而在基片表面的非特定区域存在生长延迟,这种沉积方法也被称为区域选择性ALD。The thin film formed by atomic layer deposition on the substrate can have different patterns according to requirements, that is, during the deposition process, the thin film preferentially grows in specific areas of the substrate surface, while there is a growth delay in non-specific areas of the substrate surface, which This deposition method is also known as area-selective ALD.
目前主要有三种方式来实现区域选择性ALD:一种是基于基片材料自身性质的固有选择性ALD,这种方法无需对基片表面进行处理,区域选择性的实现是基于基片材料表面初始成核行为的差异,例如基片材料表面存在晶界、空位等缺陷时,存在缺陷的位点会优先成核。第二种是使区域钝化的区域选择性ALD,通过对基片的非生长区域进行处理使其钝化,气相前驱体在非生长区域的化学反应得到抑制,薄膜只沉积在未经处理的特定区域,从而实现区域选择性,例如使用自组装单分子层和抑制剂等使基片表面失活是常规非生长区域处理方式。第三种是使区域激活的区域选择性ALD,通过对基片的生长区域进行处理使其活化,气相前驱体在经过活化的生长区域更容易进行化学反应,薄膜从而优先沉积在经过处理的生长区域,从而实现区域选择性。通过电子束诱导沉积、紫外光照和共反应物活化等方式对基片进行处理都可以激活生长区域。There are currently three main ways to achieve regional selectivity ALD: one is intrinsic selectivity ALD based on the properties of the substrate material itself. This method does not require processing of the substrate surface. The realization of regional selectivity is based on the initialization of the substrate material surface. Differences in nucleation behavior. For example, when there are defects such as grain boundaries and vacancies on the surface of the substrate material, the defective sites will preferentially nucleate. The second type is area-selective ALD that passivates the area. By treating the non-growth area of the substrate to passivate it, the chemical reaction of the gas phase precursor in the non-growth area is suppressed, and the film is only deposited on the untreated area. Specific areas, thereby achieving area selectivity, such as using self-assembled monolayers and inhibitors to deactivate the substrate surface are conventional non-growth area treatments. The third type is region-selective ALD that activates the region. The growth region of the substrate is treated to activate it. The gas-phase precursor is more likely to undergo chemical reactions in the activated growth region, and the film is preferentially deposited in the treated growth region. region to achieve regional selectivity. Growth regions can be activated by treating the substrate through electron beam induced deposition, UV illumination, and co-reactant activation.
上述的实现区域选择性ALD的方式,在沉积图案薄膜的过程中,薄膜有往非生长区域扩展的趋势,影响纳米级图案化薄膜生长的横向精度,这导致薄膜的质量下降。In the above-mentioned method of achieving area-selective ALD, during the process of depositing patterned films, the film tends to expand to non-growth areas, affecting the lateral accuracy of nanoscale patterned film growth, which leads to a decrease in the quality of the film.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
参见图1至图7,示意性示出了根据本发明实施例提供的一种原子层沉积设备的模块图和结构图,如图所示,该原子层沉积设备可以包括反应室1和电源系统2。Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7 , a module diagram and a structural diagram of an atomic layer deposition equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention are schematically shown. As shown in the figure, the atomic layer deposition equipment may include a reaction chamber 1 and a power supply system. 2.
反应室1可以具有反应腔10,反应腔10中设置有第一基片承载台11和电极板12,第一基片承载台11用于承载基片100,电极板12位于第一基片承载台11的上方。结合已知技术可知,通过将不同的气相前驱体按照顺序注入真空的反应腔10中,即可以在基片100上形成具有合适厚度的薄膜。另外,根据区域选择性ALD技术,通过对基片100进行前处理,可以在基片100上形成具有预定图案的薄膜。The reaction chamber 1 may have a reaction chamber 10. The reaction chamber 10 is provided with a first substrate carrying platform 11 and an electrode plate 12. The first substrate carrying platform 11 is used to carry the substrate 100. The electrode plate 12 is located on the first substrate carrying platform. Above stage 11. Based on known techniques, it can be known that by sequentially injecting different gas phase precursors into the vacuum reaction chamber 10 , a film with an appropriate thickness can be formed on the substrate 100 . In addition, according to the region-selective ALD technology, by pre-processing the substrate 100, a thin film having a predetermined pattern can be formed on the substrate 100.
电源系统2例如通过电源装置提供极向相反的两个电极,分别是第一电极和第二电极,其中第一电极通过导线21与第一基片承载台11电连接,第二电极通过导线22与电极板12电连接。电源装置例如可以包括但不限于直流电源、交流电源、射频电源等等。由此,利用电源系统2可以在第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间形成电场,电场可以诱导用于在基片100上沉积出的薄膜的生长取向,有效抑制薄膜生长的横向扩展宽度(以下也称为横向展宽)。在多晶体中,在没有电场诱导的情况下,每个晶体有不同于邻晶的结晶学取向。经过电场诱导的生长取向是择优生长,薄膜上的纳米颗粒都沿着特定方向(例如,顺着电场方向)聚集和长大形成薄膜。具体地,当反应腔10中通入气相前驱体时,前驱体晶体(纳米颗粒,离子颗粒)在惰性载气的携带下进入反应腔,此时控制电源系统2通过第一基片承载片11和电极板12可以在反应腔10中产生一个大小和方向都可变的电场,在电场的电场力和电偶矩等因素的影响下,气相前驱体中的极性前驱体晶体发生偏转。也即,前驱体晶体被电场诱导而按照期望的取向加速聚集吸附(该取向例如大体平行于电场的方向)在基片100的预定区域的表面以发生化学反应,从而有助于快速沉积出期望厚度的薄膜。需要说明的是,电场的持续时间例如可以对应于但不限于前驱体晶体的暴露时间,还可以对应于薄膜沉积循环周期的其他时间段。由于前驱体晶体的晶体取向基本一致,因此在基片100沉积出的薄膜的结构致密且均匀,且薄膜在生长过程中不容易往基片表面的非生长区域扩展,从而提高了图案化薄膜的沉积速率和薄膜质量。优选地,电源系统2可以设置有接地部分以进行安全保护。现有技术的沉积薄膜的生成过程中,每个前驱体晶体具有不同于邻晶的结晶学取向,沉积出的薄膜的结构不够致密均匀,且容易往基片表面的非生长区域横向扩展,影响薄膜的质量。For example, the power supply system 2 provides two electrodes with opposite polarities, namely a first electrode and a second electrode, through a power supply device. The first electrode is electrically connected to the first substrate supporting platform 11 through a wire 21 , and the second electrode is connected through a wire 22 electrically connected to the electrode plate 12 . The power supply device may include, for example, but is not limited to DC power supply, AC power supply, radio frequency power supply, etc. Therefore, the power supply system 2 can be used to form an electric field between the first substrate carrying platform 11 and the electrode plate 12 . The electric field can induce the growth orientation of the thin film deposited on the substrate 100 and effectively suppress the lateral expansion of the thin film growth. Width (hereinafter also referred to as lateral broadening). In polycrystals, in the absence of electric field induction, each crystal has a crystallographic orientation that is different from that of neighboring crystals. The growth orientation induced by the electric field is preferential growth, and the nanoparticles on the film gather and grow along a specific direction (for example, along the direction of the electric field) to form a film. Specifically, when the gas phase precursor is introduced into the reaction chamber 10, the precursor crystals (nanoparticles, ion particles) are carried into the reaction chamber by the inert carrier gas. At this time, the power supply system 2 is controlled through the first substrate carrier 11 The electrode plate 12 can generate an electric field with variable magnitude and direction in the reaction chamber 10. Under the influence of factors such as the electric field force and galvanic moment of the electric field, the polar precursor crystals in the gas phase precursor are deflected. That is, the precursor crystals are induced by the electric field to accelerate their aggregation and adsorption in a desired orientation (the orientation is, for example, substantially parallel to the direction of the electric field) on the surface of a predetermined area of the substrate 100 to undergo a chemical reaction, thus contributing to rapid deposition of the desired product. Thickness of film. It should be noted that the duration of the electric field may, for example, correspond to but is not limited to the exposure time of the precursor crystal, and may also correspond to other time periods of the film deposition cycle. Since the crystal orientations of the precursor crystals are basically consistent, the structure of the film deposited on the substrate 100 is dense and uniform, and the film does not easily expand to the non-growth area on the surface of the substrate during the growth process, thus improving the efficiency of the patterned film. Deposition rate and film quality. Preferably, the power supply system 2 may be provided with a grounding part for safety protection. In the formation process of deposited films in the prior art, each precursor crystal has a crystallographic orientation different from that of adjacent crystals. The structure of the deposited film is not dense and uniform enough, and it easily expands laterally to the non-growth area on the substrate surface, affecting the Film quality.

Since the heating substrate 61 is located inside the reaction chamber 10, the substrate 100 installed on the first substrate carrying platform 11 is not easily affected by factors such as the external environment. In addition, in some embodiments, structures such as an insulating plate and/or a uniform heating plate may be provided between the heating substrate 61 and the first substrate carrying platform 11 as needed. In addition, the reaction chamber 1 can also be equipped with a first temperature sensor (not numbered in the figure).

参见图4,本实施例中,分气结构41的上端开设有进气口410,分气结构41中设置有分气板42,分气板42位于进气口410和电极板12之间,并且分气板42设置有多个第二匀气孔420。通过在分气结构41中设置分气板42,从进气口410进入分气结构41的气体经过分气板42、电极板12两层匀气结构后喷出,这有助于增加气体分布的均匀性,降低了高速气体从直径较小的第一进气管路401进入反应腔10所带来的较大冲击力,有利于提升图案薄膜的质量。Referring to Figure 4, in this embodiment, an air inlet 410 is provided at the upper end of the air distribution structure 41, and an air distribution plate 42 is provided in the air distribution structure 41.

The second load-bearing area 112 is made of a second conductor (such as stainless steel material). or copper), which can increase the versatility of the device. It can be understood that the first conductor 1112 and the second conductor are respectively electrically connected to the first electrode of the power supply system 2 . More specifically, the first conductive body 1112 and the non-conductive body 1111 in the first carrying area 111 of the first substrate carrying platform 11 can be combined to form a grating type pattern or other pattern with a smaller width size, a grating type pattern or other pattern. Sizes include but are not limited to micron level, nano level, etc. When the substrate 100 that has not been subjected to pre-patterning treatment is placed in the first carrying area 111, under the action of an electric field, a deposited film consistent with a grating pattern can be generated on the substrate 100. That is, by providing the first carrying area 111 and combined with the induction effect of the electric field, the substrate 100 does not need to be pre-processed, that is, a thin film with a desired pattern can be deposited on the substrate 100 . The substrate 100 that has been pre-patterned by, for example, a SAMs process can be placed on the second carrying area 112, and under the action of an electric field, a high-quality patterned film can be quickly deposited. In some alternative embodiments, the first substrate carrying platform 11 may be entirely formed by sequentially joining non-conductive bodies 1111 and conductive bodies 1112 in a planar direction according to a preset pattern.
参见图8和图9,示出了反应腔10中未形成电场和形成电场时,在第一基片承载台11的第一承载区域111上承载的基片100上沉积出的薄膜300的生长状态。参见图8,在第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间未通电形成电场的情况下,在基片100上沉积生成的薄膜300覆盖整个基片100。参见图9,在第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间形成例如空心箭头所示的电场的情况下,在基片100上对应第一导电体1112的区域沉积生成了图案薄膜300,基片100上对应非导电体1111的区域形成镂空。在电场的诱导作用下,图案薄膜300往高度方向H上生长,横向展宽B被抑制,以避免图案薄膜300往非导电体1111的区域延伸。Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9 , the growth of the thin film 300 deposited on the substrate 100 carried on the first carrying area 111 of the first substrate carrying stage 11 is shown when no electric field is formed in the reaction chamber 10 and when the electric field is formed. state. Referring to FIG. 8 , when no electric field is formed between the first substrate supporting platform 11 and the electrode plate 12 , the thin film 300 deposited on the substrate 100 covers the entire substrate 100 . Referring to FIG. 9 , when an electric field, such as shown by the hollow arrow, is formed between the first substrate supporting platform 11 and the electrode plate 12 , a patterned film 300 is deposited on the substrate 100 in an area corresponding to the first conductor 1112 . A hollow is formed on the substrate 100 in a region corresponding to the non-conductive body 1111 . Under the induction of the electric field, the pattern film 300 grows in the height direction H, and the lateral broadening B is suppressed to prevent the pattern film 300 from extending to the area of the non-conductor 1111 .
参见图10和图11,示出了在第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间未形成电场和形成电场时,在第一基片承载台11的第二承载区域112上承载的基片100上沉积出的薄膜300的生长状态。同样条件下,在第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间形成电场时薄膜300的横向展宽B小于在第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间未形成电场时薄膜300的横向展宽B。Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11 , it is shown that the substrate carried on the second carrying area 112 of the first substrate carrying table 11 is shown when no electric field is formed and when an electric field is formed between the first substrate carrying table 11 and the electrode plate 12 . The growth state of the thin film 300 deposited on the sheet 100. Under the same conditions, the lateral broadening B of the film 300 when an electric field is formed between the first substrate supporting platform 11 and the electrode plate 12 is smaller than the lateral broadening B of the film 300 when no electric field is formed between the first substrate supporting platform 11 and the electrode plate 12 Widen B.
参见图12和图13,示出了在第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间未形成电场和形成电场时,在第一基片承载台11的第二承载区域112(或者整体由导电体(例如不锈钢材料或者紫铜)制成的第一基片承载台11)上承载的图案化基片100上沉积出的薄膜300的生长状态。图案化基片100例如是根据预设图案,对普通基片100的非生长区域进行钝化处理,或者对生长区域进行活化处理后制得。图12中示出了第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间未形成电场时,在第一基片承载台11上的基片100上沉积的图案薄膜300的生长情况。薄膜300在高度方向H上层状生长的同时,也会在平面方向上扩展出比较大的横向展宽B,导致薄膜300在生长过程中往基片100表面的非生长区域扩展,这样不仅降低了图案化薄膜的沉积速率,也降低了薄膜质量。图13则示出了第一基片承载台11和电极板12之间形成例如空心箭头所示的电场时,在第一基片承载台11上的基片100上沉积的图案薄膜300的生长情况,结合上文可以理解,在电场的诱导作用下,图案薄膜300更容易在高度方向H上层状生长,抑制了图案薄膜300在横向展宽B方向上的生长,从而提高了图案化薄膜的沉积速率和薄膜质量。Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13 , it is shown that when no electric field is formed and an electric field is formed between the first substrate supporting platform 11 and the electrode plate 12 , the second supporting area 112 of the first substrate supporting platform 11 (or the entire The growth state of the thin film 300 deposited on the patterned substrate 100 carried on the first substrate carrying platform 11 made of conductive material (such as stainless steel or copper). The patterned substrate 100 is, for example, produced by passivating the non-growth area of the ordinary substrate 100 or activating the growth area according to a preset pattern. FIG. 12 shows the growth of the patterned film 300 deposited on the substrate 100 on the first substrate carrying stage 11 when no electric field is formed between the first substrate carrying stage 11 and the electrode plate 12 . While the film 300 grows in layers in the height direction H, it will also expand to a relatively large lateral broadening B in the plane direction, causing the film 300 to expand toward the non-growth area on the surface of the substrate 100 during the growth process. This not only reduces the The deposition rate of patterned films also reduces film quality. Figure 13 shows the growth of the patterned film 300 deposited on the substrate 100 on the first substrate carrying stage 11 when an electric field, such as shown by the hollow arrow, is formed between the first substrate carrying stage 11 and the electrode plate 12. Based on the above situation, it can be understood that under the induction of the electric field, the patterned film 300 is more likely to grow in layers in the height direction H, which inhibits the growth of the patterned film 300 in the lateral broadening direction B, thereby improving the patterned film. Deposition rate and film quality.
