Description

晶圆承载装置及半导体工艺设备 技术领域
本申请属于半导体工艺设备设计技术领域,具体涉及一种晶圆承载装置及半导体工艺设备。
背景技术
晶圆承载装置是半导体工艺设备中较为重要的组成部分,用以在半导体工艺设备进行工艺时支撑晶圆。晶圆承载装置的基座设有冷媒通道。在具体的工作过程中,冷媒通道内通有冷媒(例如冷却水)以调节晶圆承载装置的温度及其均匀性。
但是,基座还发挥接收射频电流的功能。相关技术涉及的晶圆承载装置中,馈电部插接在基座的中心,经过调制的射频电流通过馈电部最终输入到基座的中心位置,从而确保射频导入质量。在此种情况下,为了避让馈电部,相关技术涉及的晶圆承载装置将冷媒进口和冷媒出口开设在基座的边缘。我们知道,晶圆承载装置在使用时需要其圆周方向的温度一致,而冷媒从冷媒进口进入到冷媒通道内时其自身的压力会冲击冷媒通道的内壁,进而造成冷媒进口位置的传热效率显著较高,从而形成一个局部低温区域。由于冷媒进口位于较大的径向尺寸的圆周上,因此同一圆周上的其它区域的热量因为距离较远而无法及时传递,进而较容易形成一个较大的温度梯度,最终无法满足晶圆承载装置在圆周方向的温度一致性。
发明内容
本发明公开一种晶圆承载装置,以解决相关技术中涉及的晶圆承载装置 存在圆周方向的温度均匀性较差的问题。
为了解决上述技术问题,本发明提供如下技术方案:
第一方面,本申请实施例公开一种晶圆承载装置,包括基座、馈电部和第一转接件,其中:
所述第一转接件设有中心孔和环状电连接面,所述环状电连接面环绕所述中心孔设置;所述馈电部的端部插入所述中心孔,且与所述第一转接件电连接,所述基座与所述环状电连接面电连接。
第二方面,本申请实施例公开一种晶圆承载装置,包括基座、位于所述基座下方的第一转接件、冷媒输入管道和冷媒输出管道,其中:
所述基座设有冷媒通道,所述冷媒通道具有冷媒进口和冷媒出口,所述冷媒进口和冷媒出口设在所述基座的朝向所述第一转接件的表面,且邻近所述基座的中心设置;
所述第一转接件设有第一衔接通道和第二衔接通道,所述第一衔接通道连通所述冷媒进口和所述冷媒输入管道,所述第二衔接通道连通所述冷媒出口和所述冷媒输出管道;
所述第一衔接通道的与所述冷媒输入管道连接的端口邻近所述第一转接件的边缘,所述第一衔接通道的与所述冷媒进口连接的端口邻近所述第一转接件的中心,且与所述冷媒进口相对;
所述第二衔接通道的与所述冷媒输出管道连接的端口邻近所述第一转接件的边缘,所述第二衔接通道的与所述冷媒出口连接的端口邻近所述第一转接件的中心,且与所述冷媒出口相对。
第三方面,本申请实施例公开一种半导体工艺设备,包括上文所述的晶圆承载装置。
本发明采用的技术方案能够达到以下技术效果:
本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置通过对相关技术涉及的晶圆承载装 置的结构进行改进,改变了从基座的中心输入射频的方式,使得射频能够从第一转接件上环绕中心孔的环状电连接面输入到基座中。在此种情况下,相当于从基座的围绕其中心的部位输入射频,从而无需从基座的中心将射频输入到基座中,因此能够避免对基座的中心的占用,使得基座的中心具有空闲的区域,进而能够使得冷媒进口和冷媒出口能够邻近基座的中心设置,从而能够缓解相关技术中冷媒进口和冷媒出口由于冷却基座的中心连接馈电部,而无法邻近基座的中心设置所存在的弊端,使得晶圆承载装置在圆周方向的温度均匀性能够得以提升。

具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本发明具体实施例及相应的附图对本发明技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例仅是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
以下结合附图,详细说明本发明各个实施例公开的技术方案。
请参考图1至图8,本申请实施例公开一种晶圆承载装置。所公开的晶圆承载装置包括基座100、馈电部210和第一转接件300。
基座100是晶圆承载装置中通过冷却来辅助调温的部件。基座100设有冷媒通道110,冷媒通道110用于供冷媒(例如冷却水、冷却油等)通过,冷媒在流经冷媒通道110的过程中会与基座100发生换热,从而实现对基座100的温度的均匀性进行调节。冷媒通道110具有冷媒进口111和冷媒出口112。在具体的工作过程中,冷媒从冷媒进口111进入到冷媒通道110之内,在流经冷媒通道110的其它区域之后,从冷媒出口112流出。当然,如背景技术所述,基座100还发挥接收射频电流,以发挥预设功能的作用。
第一转接件300为导电件,至少用于发挥馈电转接功能。第一转接件300设有中心孔311和环状电连接面312,环状电连接面312环绕中心孔311设置,馈电部210的端部插入中心孔311,且与第一转接件300电连接,从而实现射频的输入。
基座100与环状电连接面312电连接,从而接收馈电部210输入的射频,从而完成射频向基座100的输入。
需要说明的是,基座100的中心轴线与第一转接件300的中心轴线较为靠近,甚至可以重合。环状电连接面312环绕中心孔311设置,则可以认为 环状电连接面312环绕第一转接件300的中心轴线设置,进而也可以认为环状电连接面312环绕基座100的中心轴线设置。当然,至少可以说明,基座100的与环状电连接面312电连接的位置并非基座100的中心。
在馈电传输的过程中,射频自馈电部210的端部输入至第一转接件300的中心孔311的孔壁,接着自中心孔311的孔壁向第一转接件300的环状电连接面312输送,最终通过环状电连接面312输入至基座100的边缘。也就是说,本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置从基座100的非中心位置输入射频。
需要说明的是,射频本质为一种高频交流电(正弦波),在一个波长内的不同位置存在相位差,因此在射频回路的不同位置往往存在相位差,因此具有不同大小的电流和电压。在本申请实施例中,基座100上距射频馈入部位距离不同的位置在接通射频后具有不同的电流和电压,因此具有不同的电场强度,对半导体工艺设备的工艺内腔中的等离子体吸引能力也不同,进而导致晶圆支撑装置的上方的等离子体能量不同,进而影响刻蚀均匀性。在半导体工艺领域中,半导体工艺设备常用的射频频率为12.65MHz或2MHz,对应的波长约为22m和150m。不论射频从基座100的中心输入,还是从基座100的边缘输入,其在基座100上的传播距离都约为基座100的半径的长度。而基座100的半径通常为0.15m-0.17m,以波长较短的13.56MHz射频为例,基座100的半径与波长比约为0.007,因此基座100的最大电场强度差异在1%以内,进而能够得到虽然基座100上的射频输入点(馈入点)发生了变化,但是对半导体工艺设备的工艺内腔中的等离子体的影响可以忽略不计的结论。由此可知,本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置在相关技术的晶圆承载装置上进行改进,将射频馈入部位从基座100的中心转移到基座100的其它部位,对半导体工艺设备的工艺参数的影响可以忽略不计。
在较为优选的方案中,环状电连接面312设于第一转接件300边缘。基座100的边缘与环状电连接面312相对,且电连接。在此种情况下,基座100 的射频馈入部位为远离基座100的中心的边缘,此种结构能够更好地避免射频馈入部位对基座100的中心区域的影响。
本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置通过对相关技术涉及的晶圆承载装置的结构进行改进,改变了从基座100的中心输入射频的方式,使得射频能够从第一转接件300上环绕中心孔311的环状电连接面312输入到基座100中。在此种情况下,相当于从基座100的围绕其中心的部位输入射频,从而无需从基座100的中心将射频输入到基座100中,因此能够避免对基座100的中心的占用,使得基座100的中心具有空闲的区域,进而能够使得冷媒进口111和冷媒出口112能够邻近基座100的中心设置,从而能够缓解相关技术中冷媒进口111和冷媒出口112由于基座100的中心连接馈电部210,而无法邻近基座100的中心设置所存在的弊端,使得晶圆承载装置在圆周方向的温度均匀性得以提升。
在本申请实施例中,馈电部210的结构可以有多种。一种优选的方案中,馈电部210可以包括馈电管。可选地,该馈电管的端部插入中心孔311,且与第一转接件300电连接,具体地,馈电管的端部与第一转接件300的中心孔311的孔壁电连接。当然,馈电部210也可以为非管状结构,本申请实施例不限制馈电部210的具体结构。馈电部210优选为金属材料制成,例如铜。
在进一步的技术方案中,本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置还可以包括通电层510和供电线缆520,通电层510设于基座100的背向第一转接件300的表面,供电线缆520穿设在馈电管中,供电线缆520的端部伸出馈电管之外,且与通电层510电连接。在此种情况下,馈电管不但能够发挥馈电的作用,还能够作为供电线缆520的穿入通道,方便供电线缆520的布设,当然,馈电管还能够对供电线缆520实施防护,避免供电线缆520发生损坏。一种可选的方案中,供电线缆520可以直接与通电层510电连接。
在本申请实施例中,通电层510为通电后能够发挥预设功能的层结构。 具体的,通电层510可以包括叠置于基座100上的至少一个功能层。
本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置还可以包括第二转接件600,第二转接件600包括朝向基座100的第一电连接部610和背向基座100的第二电连接部620。基座100设有与通电层510电连接的第三电连接部。第二电连接部620经由中心孔311与供电线缆520电连接。第一电连接部610与第三电连接部电连接,以与功能层电连接,达到为功能层供电的目的。在此种情况下,实质上是供电线缆520通过第二转接件600实现与功能层的间接供电连接。第二转接件600实质为中间电转接件,第二转接件600可以预先设计,进而使得第一电连接部610和第二电连接部620预先设置,进而作为中间电转接件,进而方便供电线缆520与功能层之间的电连接。
上文所述的至少一个功能层可以包括电加热层511和电吸附层512中的至少一者。电加热层511通过通电发热的方式实现对基座100进行加热,从而实现晶圆支撑装置能够达到预设的温度,进而能够保证在后续工艺时晶圆所需的温度。电吸附层512为通电后实现电吸附的结构层,能够对晶圆支撑装置所支撑的晶圆实施吸附,从而使得晶圆能够较为稳定地放置在晶圆支撑装置上。
一种可选的方案中,上文所述的至少一个功能层可以包括依次叠置于基座100上的电加热层511和电吸附层512。供电线缆520可以包括第一子线缆和第二子线缆,第一子线缆与电加热层511电连接,第二子线缆与电吸附层512电连接。电加热层511由第一子线缆供电,电加热层511能够实施加热,从而加热晶圆承载装置上的晶圆。电吸附层512由第二子线缆供电,电吸附层512能够对晶圆承载装置上的晶圆实施吸附。
需要说明的是,在包含有通电层510的情况下,通电层510背向基座100的表面为能够承载晶圆的承载面。当然,在包含有电加热层511和电吸附层512的情况下,电吸附层512的背向电加热层511的表面为能够承载晶圆的 承载面。
具体的,第一子线缆可以直接与电加热层511电连接,第二子线缆可以直接与电吸附层512电连接。
在较为优选的方案中,第一子线缆通过依次电连接的一部分第二电连接部620、一部分穿过基座100的第一电连接部610以及相应的第三电连接部,与电加热层511电连接。具体的,第一子线缆与一部分第二电连接部620直接电连接。第二子线缆通过依次电连接的另一部分第二电连接部620、另一部分依次穿过基座100和电加热层511的第一电连接部610,以及相应的第三电连接部,与电吸附层512电连接。此种方式能够方便实现第一子线缆和第二子线缆分别与电加热层511和电吸附层512的电连接。
在本申请实施例中,第一电连接部610和第二电连接部620可以为电连接端子,第三电连接部可以为插座。第二电连接部620伸至中心孔311中以与供电线缆520电连接。第一电连接部610与第三电连接部插接电连接。
具体的,第一电连接部610为第一电连接端子,第二电连接部620为第二电连接端子。可选的方案中,第一电连接部610和第三电连接部中的一者可以包括电插接凸起,另一者设有电插接孔,电插接凸起与电插接孔之间通过插接实现电连接。具体的,第一电连接部610和第三电连接部中的一者可以为插头,另一者可以为插座。插头与插座通过插接配合实现电连接。此种插接的电连接结构具有方便拆装的优势。
当然,第一电连接部610、第二电连接部620和第三电连接部还可以为其它结构的电连接部,例如普通电连接线头。本申请实施例不作限制。
本申请实施例公开的第二转接件600还可以包括绝缘板630以埋设在绝缘板630之内的线路640,第一电连接部610通过埋设在绝缘板630内的线路640实现与相应的第二电连接部620之间的电连接。绝缘板630作为第一电连接部610和第二电连接部620的安装基座,无疑能够实现第一电连接部 610和第二电连接部620较为稳定地电连接,同时也能够使得第二转接件600通过绝缘板630的装配而实现装配,达到方便安装第二转接件600的目的。线路640可以是金线,也可以是导电胶等,本申请实施例不限制线路640的具体结构。
本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置中,第二转接件600可以为电路板。当然,还可以是其它能实现预设功能的电转接件,本申请不限制第二转接件600的具体种类。
在较为优选的方案中,第一转接件300可以设有凹槽,第一转接件300的开设凹槽的槽口的表面为环状电连接面312,中心孔311设于凹槽的与槽口相对的底壁上,绝缘板630设于凹槽之内。在此种情况下,第一转接件300开设的凹槽能够为绝缘板630提供安装空间,进而实现第二转接件600的安装。当然,此种设置方式能够使得第一转接件300与第二转接件600实现较为紧凑的装配,有利于整个晶圆承载装置的小型化设计。具体的,绝缘板630可以通过粘接、卡接等方式实现在凹槽内的安装。
在进一步的技术方案中,绝缘板630与凹槽定位配合,在此种情况下,凹槽不但能够容纳绝缘板630,还能够定位绝缘板630,进而有利于第二转接件600实现更稳定地安装。
本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置还包括绝缘环700,绝缘环700例如设置于基座100下方,且环绕于第一转接件300的周围;绝缘环700的邻近基座100的端部的内周边缘设有环状沉台710,第一转接件300的边缘开设有搭接台阶面315,搭接台阶面315与环状沉台710搭接配合。且第一转接件300定位于环状沉台710中,从而实现较为稳定地安装。
在进一步的技术方案中,绝缘环700的邻近基座100的端部的端面与环状电连接面312均与基座100支撑配合,在此种情况下,绝缘环700和环状电连接面312一起实现对基座100的支撑,有利于提高对基座100支撑的稳 定性。需要说明的是,由于绝缘环700为绝缘材质,因此绝缘环700对基座100的支撑不会影响环状电连接面312向基座100内输入射频。
请再次参考图1至图4,一种可选的方案中,第一转接件300可以包括转接基部310和环状凸起320,环状凸起320设于转接基部310的朝向基座100的表面的边缘。环状凸起320围绕中心孔311设置,中心孔311设于转接基部310,环状凸起320的背向转接基部310的环状端面为环状电连接面312。在此种结构中,中心孔311开设在转接基部310上,并被环状凸起320围绕,环状凸起320的背向转接基部310的环状端面凸出于转接基部310,因此能够避免转接基部310与基座100接触,进而较容易形成与基座100电连接的环状电连接面312,也比较容易确保第一转接件300的除环状电连接面312之外的其它区域不与基座100电连接,进而确定较为准确的馈电位置的同时,还能够较好地避免第一转接件300的除环状电连接面312之外的其它区域与基座100出现短接的情况发生。
在进一步优选的方案中,转接基部310与环状凸起320可以围成上文所述的凹槽。在此种情况下,环状凸起320与转接基部310形成的凹槽,能够为绝缘板630提供安装空间,从而使得第一转接件300上的空间得到充分的利用。
如上文所述,基座100设有冷媒通道110,冷媒通道110具有冷媒进口111和冷媒出口112。具体的,冷媒进口111和冷媒出口112均设在基座100的朝向第一转接件300的表面,且邻近基座100的中心设置。
本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置还可以包括冷媒输入管道410和冷媒输出管道420。冷媒输入管道410与冷媒进口111连通,冷媒输出管道420与冷媒出口112连通。在具体的工作过程中,冷媒从冷媒输入管道410输入到冷媒进口111,进而进入冷媒通道110,在流经冷媒通道110之后从冷媒出口112流出至冷媒输出管道420,最终流走。
冷媒输入管道410与冷媒进口111连通,冷媒输出管道420与冷媒出口112连通。具体的,冷媒输入管道410可以与冷媒进口111直接连通,冷媒输出管道420与冷媒出口112直接连通。当然,第一转接件300和/或第二转接件600可以开设有供冷媒输入管道410和冷媒输出管道420穿过的避让孔,从而不影响冷媒输入管道410与冷媒进口111以及冷媒输出管道420与冷媒出口112之间的直接连通。
在进一步优选的方案中,第一转接件300可以开设有第一衔接通道313和第二衔接通道314,第一衔接通道313连通冷媒进口111和冷媒输入管道410,第二衔接通道314连通冷媒出口112和冷媒输出管道420,第一衔接通道313的与冷媒输入管道410连接的端口邻近第一转接件300的边缘,第一衔接通道313的与冷媒进口111连接的端口邻近中心孔311;第二衔接通道314的与冷媒输出管道420连接的端口邻近第一转接件300的边缘;第二衔接通道314的与冷媒出口112连接的端口邻近中心孔311。在此种情况下,通过第一衔接通道313和第二衔接通道314的过渡衔接,能保证冷媒输入管道410与冷媒进口111连通以及冷媒输出管道420与冷媒出口112连通的情况下,还能够使得冷媒输入管道410和冷媒输出管道420的连接位置远离基座100的中心,从而能够避免与馈电部210距离过近而导致空间局限的问题,由于冷媒输出管道420和冷媒输入管道410邻近第一转接件300的边缘,因此具有较大的空间,进而方便操作人员进行连接操作。
在进一步的技术方案中,第一衔接通道313的与冷媒输入管道410连接的端口,以及,第二衔接通道314的与冷媒输出管道420连接的端口均开设在第一转接件300的背向基座100的表面;第一衔接通道313的与冷媒进口111连接的端口,以及第二衔接通道314的与冷媒出口112连接的端口均开设在第一转接件300朝向基座100的表面。此种结构能够使得冷媒输入管道410和冷媒输出管道420布设在第一转接件300的下方,第一转接件300布 设在基座100的下方,从而较容易实现这些构件在基座100的下方的空间中进行合理布设,同时也能够充分利用基座100下方的既有空间,有利于整个晶圆支撑装置的结构小型化。
本申请实施例公开另一种晶圆承载装置,所公开的晶圆承载装置包括基座100、第一转接件300、冷媒输入管道410和冷媒输出管道420。
基座100设有冷媒通道110,冷媒通道110具有冷媒进口111和冷媒出口112,冷媒进口111和冷媒出口112设在基座100的朝向第一转接件300的表面,且邻近基座100的中心设置。
第一转接件300位于基座100下方,且设有第一衔接通道313第二衔接通道314,第一衔接通道313连通冷媒进口111和冷媒输入管道410,第二衔接通道314连通冷媒出口112和冷媒输出管道420。
第一衔接通道313的与冷媒输入管道410连接的端口邻近第一转接件300的边缘,第一衔接通道313的与冷媒进口111连接的端口邻近第一转接件300的中心,且与冷媒进口111相对;第二衔接通道314的与冷媒输出管道420连接的端口邻近第一转接件300的边缘,第二衔接通道314的与冷媒出口112连接的端口邻近第一转接件300的中心,且与冷媒出口112相对。
在一种可选的方案中,第一衔接通道313的与冷媒输入管道410连接的端口,以及,第二衔接通道314的与冷媒输出管道420连接的端口均开设在第一转接件300的背向冷却基座100的表面。
在另一种可选的方案中,第一转接件300设有中心孔311和环状电连接面312,环状电连接面312环绕中心孔311设置;晶圆承载装置还可以包括馈电部210;馈电部210的端部插入中心孔311,且与第一转接件300电连接,基座100与环状电连接面312电连接。

基于本申请实施例公开的晶圆承载装置,本申请实施例进一步公开一种半导体工艺设备,所公开的半导体工艺设备包括上文实施例所述的晶圆承载装置。
本发明上文实施例中重点描述的是各个实施例的不同,各个实施例的不同的优化特征只要不矛盾,均可以组合形成更优的实施例,考虑到行文简洁,在此则不再赘述。
