Description

一种加热装置及半导体处理设备 技术领域
本申请涉及半导体制造设备技术领域,具体涉及一种加热装置及半导体处理设备。
背景技术
化学气相沉积(Chemical Vapor Deposition,CVD)硅外延是利用CVD技术在硅基衬底(比如晶圆/Wafer)表面生长硅薄膜。具体是控制反应气体流过被加热的Wafer,反应物在Wafer表面发生化学反应生成硅单质,进而在Wafer表面形成一层硅单质薄膜。
现有的一种CVD外延设备的结构示意图如图1所示,工艺腔室10a的顶板和底板为透明材料制作,工艺腔室10a的上下两侧分别布置基于红外光加热的上加热装置20a和下加热装置30a。衬底101a放置于工艺腔室10a内的基座11a上,上加热装置20a对衬底101a的表面进行直接加热,下加热装置30a对基座11a进行加热以间接对衬底101a进行加热。
衬底101a表面的温度分布对硅外延的厚度、电阻率、滑移线分布具有显著的影响,温度高的区域外延层生长速率高,其厚度则相对较厚。在对衬底101a加热的过程中,由于下加热装置30a直接加热基座11a,经由基座11a导热间接加热衬底101a,热量在传导过程中已经分布的较为均匀。而上加热装置20a的光线直射衬底101a,上加热装置20a的光照分布将对衬底101a表面的温度分布起到主导作用。
现有的上加热装置20a出现局部温差较大、衬底101a表面的温度场不均匀的问题。
发明内容
针对上述技术问题,本申请提供一种加热装置及半导体处理设备,可以改善现有的上加热装置产生的温度场不均匀的问题。

所述加热装置包括在每一所述环形区域,沿所述环形区域周向均匀设置的多个加热灯和位于所述多个加热灯远离所述基座一侧的环形反射板;以及,位于每一所述环形区域的靠近所述中心区域一侧的反射组件;所述反射组件包括与对应的所述环形区域内的多个加热灯一一对应的多个反射板;
所述反射板由所述环形反射板向所述基座的方向延伸,以限定对应的所述加热灯的光照射在所述基座的预设区域内;

在一些实施例中,属于同一所述环形区域内的所述多个加热灯的高度相同;

在一些实施例中,每一所述反射组件中,相邻的两个所述通光孔距离所述基座的距离不相同。
在一些实施例中,相邻的两个所述环形区域中,沿同一半径方向,外侧的所述环形区域内的所述加热灯距离所述基座的距离小于内侧的所述环形区域的所述加热灯距离所述基座的距离。
在一些实施例中,相邻的两个所述环形区域中,沿同一半径方向,外侧的所述环形区域内的所述反射板的第一高度小于内侧的所述环形区域的所述反射板的第一高度。
在一些实施例中,每一所述环形区域中,所述反射组件关于所述环形区域的圆心对称。
在一些实施例中,所述的加热装置,还包括设置于所述中心区域的圆形反射板,位于最内侧的所述环形区域的所述反射组件环绕所述圆形反射板设置;
且所述圆形反射板与所述基座的距离大于位于最内侧的所述环形区域的所述反射组件中任意所述反射板的所述第一高度。

请参阅图2,图2是本申请对照例提供的一种上加热装置的结构示意图(仰视图),请同时结合图1,该上加热装置20a包括多个加热灯21a,和设置于多个加热灯21a上方和周围的反射板22a,位于多个加热灯21a上方的 反射板22a平行于工艺腔室10a的基座11a,反射板22a可以将加热灯21a朝向反射板22a发射的光向衬底101a表面反射,以提高加热效率和光的有效利用率。由于反射板22a会使得某些半径处的光线由于反射而增强,另一些半径处的光线由于遮挡而减弱,以上现象会导致在特定半径位置,光照在该位置两侧存在明显差异,从而出现局部温差较大、衬底101a表面的温度场不均匀的问题。
而且,所有加热灯21a可以排列成一圈,每隔3个加热灯21a,反射板22a的反射面设置一斜面结构,以使该斜面结构对应的一个加热灯21a(该加热灯采用剖面线与其他加热灯进行区别)的反射光能够向衬底101a的中心区域照射,以对光的分布进行调节。
该上加热装置20a中,可调节的光线只有斜面结构对应的加热灯21a的反射光。该方案只能对温度场进行小幅度调节,可覆盖的工艺范围较小。基于此,本申请提供了一种温度场分布可调节的加热装置及半导体处理设备。
请参阅图3至图5,图3是本申请实施例提供的一种加热装置的结构示意图(仰视图),图4是图3中外圈加热灯对应的反射组件的展开剖面图,图5是图3的侧视结构示意图。该加热装置用于对半导体腔室内的基座进行加热,加热装置在安装于半导体腔室的情况下,设置于基座在高度方向上的一侧,比如,请同时结合图6,该加热装置可以设置在半导体腔室100外,也可以设置在半导体腔室100内。可以设置在基座130的正上方,也可以设置在基座130的正下方,或者加热装置为两个,且分别设置在基座130的上方和下方。
加热装置具有中心区域301和由中心区域向外依次环绕中心区域301的多个环形区域302;其中;加热装置包括在每一环形区域302,沿环形区域302周向均匀设置的多个加热灯40和位于多个加热灯40远离基座130一侧的环形反射板10。具体地,如果加热装置设置在基座130的正上方,则环形 反射板10设置在多个加热灯40的上方;如果加热装置设置在基座130的正下方,则环形反射板10设置在多个加热灯40的下方。
加热装置还包括位于每一环形区域302的靠近中心区域301一侧的反射组件30;反射组件30包括与对应的环形区域302内的多个加热灯40一一对应的多个反射板31;反射板31由环形反射板10向基座130的方向延伸,以限定对应的加热灯40的光照射在基座130的预设区域内;反射组件30用于使多个加热灯40对应的预设区域位于基座的不同径向范围内;其中,环形区域302的中心轴线与基座的中心轴线同轴。
以设置有两个环形区域302(302A和302B)为例,分别为外圈环形区域302A和内圈环形区域302B,两个环形区域302内分别设置有多个加热灯40,例如,外圈环形区域302A可以均匀设置32个加热灯40A,内圈环形区域302B可以均匀设置8个加热灯40B。具体应用时,加热灯40在每个环形区域302设置的数量根据加热的需要进行设置。作为一个示例,加热灯40可以是红外加热灯。
相应的,环形反射板10也可以设置有两个,分别为对应外圈环形区域302A的环形反射板10A,和对应内圈环形区域302B的环形反射板10B,加热灯40A远离基座130一侧的环形反射板10A,可以将加热灯40A的光反射至基座130相应的区域,加热灯40B远离基座130一侧的环形反射板10B,可以将加热灯40B的光反射至基座130上相应的区域。
相应的,反射组件30也设置有两个,分别为对应外圈环形区域302A的反射组件30A,和对应内圈环形区域302B的反射组件30B,反射组件30B设置在内圈环形区域302B靠近中心区域301的一侧;反射组件30A设置在外圈环形区域302A靠近中心区域301的一侧。
反射组件30包括与对应的环形区域302内的多个加热灯40一一对应的多个反射板31。比如当外圈环形区域302A设置有32个加热灯40A时,反 射组件30A则包括32个反射板31,当内圈环形区域302B设置8个加热灯40B时,反射组件30B则包括8个反射板31。反射板31由环形反射板10向基座130的方向延伸,以限定对应的加热灯40的光照射在基座130的预设区域内。即反射板31可以从内侧限制加热灯40向基座130中心区域的照射范围,最终使多个加热灯40的光照射在基座130的不同径向范围内。
本实施例的加热装置的工作原理为:环形反射板10设置在加热灯40远离基座130一侧,反射组件30设置在环形区域302靠近中心区域301一侧,加热灯40在环形反射板10和反射组件30的包围和反射下,向基座130的方向照射,对基座130进行加热,整个加热装置向下发射的光倾向于形成若干光圈,可以实现不同半径位置光照强度的独立控制。由于反射组件30包括与对应的环形区域302内的多个加热灯40一一对应的多个反射板31,反射板31由环形反射板10向基座130的方向延伸,通过每个反射板31可以限定对应的加热灯40的光照射在基座130的预设区域内,从而可以使得同一圈加热灯40照射到不同半径的位置,避免光线集中照射在同一区域而使光照沿半径方向呈断崖式分布,从而可以实现光照强度的渐变,进而可以提高加热的均匀性。
可以理解的是,对于最外圈的环形区域302,可以环绕其外径再设置一反射组件30,以将加热灯40的光限制在加热装置内。
本实施例中,反射组件30在竖直方向的角度不限。作为一些示例,反射组件30中各反射板31可以与基座130的中心轴线平行,也可以与基座130的中心轴线的夹角均相同,比如各反射板31由上至下均向基座130的中心轴线倾斜一预设角度(比如10°),或均向远离基座130的中心轴线倾斜一预设角度。结合反射板31在竖直方向的长度设置、加热灯40的安装高度设置等,均可以实现同一圈加热灯40照射到基座130不同半径的位置。下面以具体实施例对本申请作进一步详细说明。
在一个实施例中,请继续参阅图4和图5,属于同一环形区域302内的多个加热灯40的高度相同。在加热装置安装于半导体腔室的情况下,反射板31靠近基座130的一端与基座130之间的距离为反射板31的第一高度H,属于同一反射组件30的多个反射板31的第一高度H不完全相同。比如,图4中反射板31B和反射板31A的第一高度相差H0,从而在反射组件30上形成缺口311,反射板31A对应的加热灯40可以通过缺口311照射到基座130不同半径的位置,实现该半径上光照强度的渐变。可以通过设置每个反射板31的第一高度H,形成多个缺口311,使反射组件30形成如图4所示的锯齿结构,比如,同一环形区域302内,每隔一个加热灯40A设置一个缺口311,缺口311与对应的加热灯40A在环形区域302的投影位于同一半径上。随着缺口311的深度尺寸H0的不同,照射半径也不相同。反射板31上缺口311的设置,可以拓展加热灯40A的照射半径范围,实现光照强度的渐变,以提高加热的均匀性。
需要说明的是,反射组件30可以是一体化结构,也可以是多个反射板31依次拼接而成,如图8所示。通过设置相邻的两个反射板31沿竖直方向的长度不相等,从而可以形成缺口311。本申请实施例对反射组件30的具体成型方式不作特别限定。
需要强调的是,通过反射板31的形状及高度的设置,缺口311的深度H0可以不同,在反射组件30上出现的位置也可以是随机的,不具有周期性。并且缺口311的形状也不局限于图示的矩形形状,例如还可以是三角形、圆弧形或者不同图形的组合等等。
示例性的,同一反射组件30中,任意相邻的两个反射板31的第一高度H不同,可以形成规律的锯齿结构,提高加热的均匀性。此外,每一环形区域302中,反射组件30最好关于环形区域302的圆心对称,可以使位于对称位置的加热灯40能够加热基座130相同的半径范围,从而可以对光照范围进 行对称调节,以提高温度场的均匀性。
作为一个示例,相邻的两个环形区域302中,沿同一半径方向,外侧环形区域302的反射板31的第一高度小于内侧环形区域302的反射板31的第一高度。可以防止加热灯40向外侧发散,降低了加热效率。
在一个实施例中,请继续参阅图5,相邻的两个环形区域302中,沿同一半径方向,外侧环形区域302的加热灯40距离基座130的距离L小于内侧环形区域302的加热灯40距离基座130的距离。由于接近基座130中心的位置会被更多的加热灯40照射,通过设置内侧加热灯40距离基座130更远,来平衡上述受热不均,从而可以提高基座130的受热均匀性。
在一个实施例中,请继续参阅图3和图5,加热装置还可以包括设置于中心区域301的圆形反射板20,位于最内侧的环形区域302的反射组件30环绕圆形反射板20设置,且圆形反射板20与基座130的距离S大于位于最内侧的环形区域302的反射组件30中任意反射板31的第一高度H。通过设置圆形反射板20处于高于位于最内侧的环形区域302的反射组件30中任意反射板31的位置,可以减少圆形反射板20对内侧环形区域302的加热灯的阻挡。
为了便于描述,请参阅图6和图7,图6是本申请实施例提供的一种半导体处理设备的结构示意图,图7是本申请实施例提供的一种反射板上设置不同深度的缺口的结构示意图,本申请提供的加热装置应用于该半导体处理设备中。以加热装置位于基座130上方为例,将位于环形反射板10的圆环形区域下方预设距离L0的面设为目标平面102,应用时,目标平面102可以是待加热件(例如衬底)的顶面,即待加热件装载到基座130上后,待加热件的顶面距离环形反射板10的底面的距离为L0。目标平面102上与环形区域302的圆心正对的点设为中心点O,缺口311对应的加热灯40通过该缺口311射出的光线与目标平面102的交点设为目标点A。作为一些示例,比如,至 少一个缺口311的深度满足:与该缺口311对应的加热灯40在目标平面102的投影B和目标点A位于中心点O的同一侧,如图7中视图a所示。如上文所述,缺口311最好是相对于中心点O成对对称设置,图中示意了两个对称位置的加热灯40通过与各自对应的缺口311向目标平面102发射光线的示意图,通过该缺口311,可以使对应的加热灯40的照射半径向中心点O扩大,避免所有光线照射在同一半径上,实现光照强度的渐变。
再比如,还可以使至少一个缺口311的深度满足:与该缺口311对应的加热灯40在目标平面102的投影B和目标点A位于中心点O的两侧,如图7中视图c所示。同样,图中示意了两个对称位置的加热灯40通过与各自对应的缺口311向目标平面102发射光线的示意图,由于缺口311较深,加热灯40通过对应的缺口311可以照射至中心点O的另一侧,可以使该加热灯40具有更大的照射半径,实现光照强度的渐变。
又比如,还可以使至少一个缺口311的深度满足:与该缺口311对应的目标点A与中心点O重合,如图7中视图b所示。同样,图中示意了两个对称位置的加热灯40通过与各自对应的缺口311向目标平面102发射光线的示意图,加热灯40通过对应的缺口311刚好照射至中心点O,即目标点A与中心点O重合。
实际应用时,缺口311的深度可以在图7中视图a、视图b、视图c对应的三种设置方式进行选择,可以选择其中一种,也可以选择两种或者三种结合使用。可以通过控制不同缺口311对应的加热灯40的开关和功率来对温度场进行调控。
在一个实施例中,请参阅图6,属于同一环形区域302内的多个加热灯40的高度相同,属于同一反射组件30的多个反射板31的第一高度H不完全相同,该加热装置还可以包括驱动器50,驱动器50用于对每个反射板31进行升降调节。比如,驱动器50可以是电机。驱动器50可以与反射板31一一 对应设置,也可以处于对称位置的两个加热灯40由同一个驱动器50进行升降控制。在温度场需要进行大幅度调整时,可以通过驱动器50对每个反射板31进行升降调节,以实现更大的工艺覆盖范围。
进一步的,请参阅图6,加热装置还可以包括控制器60,控制器60可以对每个加热灯40的开关以及加热功率进行单独控制,从而可以在更大的范围对温度场进行调节。
在一个实施例中,还可以在反射板31上设置通光孔312来改变加热灯的径向照射范围。请参阅图9和图10,图9是本申请实施例提供的一种反射板上设置不同高度的通光孔的结构示意图,图10是图5中外圈环形区域对应的反射组件的展开剖面图。该方案中,属于同一环形区域302内的多个加热灯40的高度相同,并且属于同一反射组件30的多个反射板31的第一高度H相同,可以简化反射组件30的制造工艺;每一反射组件30中,至少部分反射板31上设置有通光孔312,并且通光孔312与基座130的距离小于对应的加热灯40与基座130的距离,可以保证加热灯40的光能够穿过对应的通光孔312向下方照射,以对基座130进行加热。
图9中从视图a到视图c,相对于视图a,设置了通光孔312A和通光孔312B后,加热灯40可以照射目标平面102不同半径的区域,并且随着通光孔312的高度的升高,加热灯40的照射半径也相应地发生变化,通光孔312的设置可以拓展加热灯40在目标平面102的照射范围,避免加热灯40局部集中分布,照射在同一半径上,从而可以降低局部温差,实现光照强度的渐变。图9中每个视图示意了两个对称位置的加热灯40通过与各自对应的通光孔312向目标平面102发射光线的示意图。
示例性的,每一反射组件30中,相邻的两个通光孔312距离基座130的距离不相同。从而可以使相邻两个加热灯40可以照射不同的半径范围,实现光照强度的渐变,以提高加热的均匀性。
本申请实施例还提供了一种半导体处理设备,请参阅图6,该半导体处理设备包括半导体腔室100,以及设置于半导体腔室100外侧的加热装置,比如可以在半导体腔室100的上方设置上加热装置200,和/或在半导体腔室100的下方设置下加热装置300,上加热装置200和下加热装置300均可以采用如上各实施例所述的加热装置,加热装置用于在工艺时对半导体腔室内100的基座130进行加热。作为一个示例,半导体腔室100的顶板110和底板120可以采用透明材料制作,比如石英材料。半导体腔室100内设置有用于承载衬底的基座130,工艺时,下加热装置300透过底板120对基座130进行加热,上加热装置200透过顶板110对衬底进行加热。该半导体处理设备可以是CVD硅外延设备。
