Background technology
Chemical vapour deposition (Chemical vapor deposition, be called for short CVD) be that reactive material issues biochemical reaction at gaseous condition, generate the solid matrix surface that solid matter is deposited on heating, and then the Technology of obtained solid material, it is achieved by chemical vapor deposition unit.Particularly, reactant gases is passed in reaction chamber by diffuser by CVD device, and controls the reaction conditions such as pressure, temperature of reaction chamber, reactant gases is reacted, thus completes deposition process step.In order to deposit required film, generally needing in reaction chamber, pass into multiple different reactant gases, and also needing in reaction chamber, pass into other nonreactive gass such as carrier gas or sweeping gas, therefore needing to arrange multiple diffuser in CVD device.Below for metal organic chemical vapor deposition (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition, MOCVD) device, introduce the CVD device that prior art comprises multiple diffuser.
MOCVD is mainly used in the iii-v such as gan, gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, zinc oxide, the preparation of the thin layer monocrystalline functional structure material of II-VI group compound and alloy, along with the range of application of above-mentioned functions structured material constantly expands, MOCVD device is one of important device becoming chemical vapor deposition unit.MOCVD is generally using II race or III metal organic source and VI race or V race hydride source etc. as reactant gases, with hydrogen or nitrogen as carrier gas, on substrate, carry out vapor phase epitaxial growth in pyrolysis mode, thus grow the thin layer monocrystal material of various II-VI compound semiconductor, Group III-V compound semiconductor and their multivariate solid solution.Due to II race or III metal organic source different with the transmission condition of VI race or V race hydride source, therefore need respectively II race or III metal organic source and VI race or V race hydride source to be transferred to surface by different diffusers.
MOCVD device of the prior art generally comprises:
Reaction chamber;
Be positioned at the spray assemblies at described reaction chamber top, described spray assemblies comprises two diffusers, and II race or III metal organic source and VI race or V race hydride source are transferred to surface by described two diffusers respectively;
The pedestal be oppositely arranged with described spray assemblies, described pedestal has heating unit, and described pedestal is used for supporting and heated substrates.
Described spray assemblies is different with the flow direction of opposing substrate according to the air-flow of reactant gases, is divided into rectilinear and horizontal.Horizontal spray assemblies refers to that described spray assemblies makes the air-flow of reactant gases along the horizontal direction flowing being parallel to substrate; Rectilinear spray assemblies refers to that the air-flow of reactant gases flows along the vertical direction of vertical substrate.Compared with horizontal spray assemblies, rectilinear spray assemblies can produce two-dimensional axial symmetric flowing, suppresses thermal convection vortex, forms more uniform speed, temperature and concentration boundary layer respectively, thus obtain better thin film deposition in surface.
See China Patent Publication No. be: CN101122012A, this patent application provides a kind of spray assemblies, it can realize III metallorganics and V race hydride gas is independently supplied gas from spray assemblies one-piece construction both sides respectively, and evenly spray at the types of flexure of reaction chamber, its method realized is: comprise two groups of pectination spray headers, first group of pectination spray header is made up of the gas A vent branch 3 that gas house steward A 2 and Duo Gen that inlet suction port 1 is housed are arranged in parallel, one end of described gas A vent branch 3 is communicated with described gas house steward A 2 and the other end is blind end, second group of pectination spray header is made up of the gas B vent branch 6 that gas house steward B 5 and Duo Gen that inlet suction port 4 is housed are arranged in parallel, one end of described each gas B vent branch 6 is communicated with described gas house steward B 5 and the other end is blind end, specifically as shown in Figure 1.
See U.S. Patent Publication No. be: US2009/0098276A1, which provide the spray header form that current MOCVD device is the most general, III metal organic source and V race hydride source gas enter the first air inlet overall channel and the second air inlet overall channel of spray header device respectively from two inlet mouths, and by the first bypass passage and the second bypass passage, finally enter hybrid channel, backward substrate of giving vent to anger sprays.There is pyrolysis in III metal organic source gas and V race hydride source gas, and be epitaxially grown to Group III-V compound semiconductor respectively on the substrate of heating.
In prior art, in CVD device, in spray assemblies, each diffuser is all equal with the distance of pedestal, and each diffuser generally adopts identical material, namely the heat-conduction coefficient of each diffuser is identical, the temperature of each diffuser therefore in same reaction chamber is identical, finally makes the temperature of all reactant gasess identical.But the decomposition temperature of differential responses gas may be different, if the decomposition temperature of III metal organic source is well below the decomposition temperature of V race hydride source.
When III metal organic source and V race hydride source gas are heated to comparatively high temps by MOCVD device simultaneously, just first can there is decomposition reaction in III metal organic source, and react with V race hydride source gas, thus can produce a large amount of solid particulates.These solid particulates can be deposited on the surface of spray assemblies on the one hand, finally may drop on the film deposited; Therefore, on the film that prevents from the particle on the surface being deposited on spray assemblies from dropping on depositing, need often to clean spray assemblies, thus increase the cost cleaned; On the other hand, the generation of these solid particulates consumes partial reaction gas, thus causes the waste of material, and the price of metal organic (Metal Organic, MO) source material is very expensive, this inevitable raising just causing production cost.Meanwhile, due to particle contamination, also reduce the deposition quality of film.
When III metal organic source and V race hydride source gas are heated to lesser temps by MOCVD device simultaneously, just not easily there is decomposition reaction in V race hydride source gas, and final being just difficult to forms iii-v dense film.Even if deposition obtains film, these films also have a lot of pore, and are easy to come off.
In sum, in prior art MOCVD device by III metal organic source and V race hydride source gas heating to same temperature, the poor quality of the film of end reaction deposition, and film deposition rate is low, production cost is high.In other CVD device except MOCVD device, also there is the situation that Heating temperature needed for differential responses gas is different, when by these differential responses gas heating to same temperature, similarly, the film quality of end reaction deposition is very poor, and film deposition rate is low, production cost is high.Similarly, in other CVD device, other need the situation of differing temps also to there are differential responses.
Therefore, CVD device how is made to provide different temperature just to become technical problem urgently to be resolved hurrily for different reactant gasess.

Described pedestal 100 comprises: supporting seat 110, and one or more pending substrates 500 can be arranged on the upper surface of described supporting seat 110; Heating unit 120, is arranged on below described supporting seat 110, for heating described substrate 500.
In the present embodiment, the heat-conduction coefficient of the first diffuser 300 is greater than the heat-conduction coefficient of distance piece 700, because described second diffuser 400 needs to carry out heat exchange with described refrigerating unit 200 again by described distance piece 700, described distance piece 700 reduces the exchange rate between the second diffuser 400 and described refrigerating unit 200, therefore the cooling performance of refrigerating unit 200 to the first diffuser 300 must be greater than the cooling performance to the second diffuser 400.
Described second diffuser 400 and described distance piece 700 have the region penetrating described first diffuser 300 and described distance piece 700, and described first diffuser 300 directly accepts the thermal radiation of the well heater 120 of described pedestal 100 by described region.
The heat emissivity coefficient of described first diffuser 300 can be greater than the heat emissivity coefficient of described second diffuser 400, as: as described in the material of the first diffuser 300 can be graphite or silicon carbide, or the mixture of graphite and silicon carbide and laminate, the material composition of described second diffuser 400 can comprise in steel, aluminium, copper, gold and silver one or more.Although the heat emissivity coefficient of the first diffuser 300 can be greater than the heat emissivity coefficient of described second diffuser 400, described first diffuser 300 is made to have stronger thermal-radiating receptivity, but, due to described refrigerating unit 200, described first diffuser 300, described distance piece 700 and described second diffuser 400 are cascading, and the heat-conduction coefficient of described distance piece 700 is less than the heat-conduction coefficient of described first diffuser 300, described distance piece 700 has intercepted the heat exchange between described second diffuser 400 and described first diffuser 300, therefore the temperature of the temperature of described first diffuser 300 lower than described second diffuser 400 can still be ensured.Preferably, price comparison due to graphite is low and heat-conductive characteristic is relatively good, stainless steel physical and chemical performance is stablized, therefore the material of described first diffuser 300 is graphite, the material of described second diffuser 400 is stainless steel, thus reduces the production cost of the first diffuser 300 and the second diffuser 400.
The heat emissivity coefficient of described first diffuser 300 preferably can equal the heat emissivity coefficient of described second diffuser 400, so, can guarantee the temperature head between described first diffuser 300 and described second diffuser 400.Further, the heat emissivity coefficient of described first diffuser 300 can also be less than the heat emissivity coefficient of described second diffuser 400.Now, the heat emissivity coefficient of the first diffuser 300 is less than the heat emissivity coefficient of the second diffuser 400, will guarantee that the temperature head between described first diffuser 300 and described second diffuser 400 reaches certain numerical value further, thus be more prone to realize the different of temperature between described first diffuser 300 from described second diffuser 400.
The heat-conduction coefficient of described distance piece 700 is less than the heat-conduction coefficient of described first diffuser 300; The material of described first diffuser 300 can be graphite or silicon carbide, the material composition of described distance piece 700 can comprise in steel, aluminium, copper, gold and silver one or more.Preferably, price comparison due to graphite is low and heat-conductive characteristic is relatively good, stainless steel physical and chemical performance is stablized, therefore the material of described first diffuser 300 is graphite, the material of described distance piece 700 is stainless steel, thus reduces the production cost of the first diffuser 300 and distance piece 700.
The heat-conduction coefficient of described distance piece 700 can be more than or equal to the heat-conduction coefficient of described second diffuser 400, and now the heat-conduction coefficient of the first diffuser 300 must be greater than the heat-conduction coefficient of described second diffuser 400.As: the material of the first diffuser 300 is graphite, and the material of distance piece 700 is copper, and the material of described second diffuser 400 is stainless steel.
The heat-conduction coefficient of described distance piece 700 can also be less than the heat-conduction coefficient of described second diffuser 400, now the heat-conduction coefficient of the first diffuser 300 can be greater than the heat-conduction coefficient of described second diffuser 400, as: the material of the first diffuser 300 is graphite, the material of described second diffuser 400 is silver, and the material of described distance piece 700 is gold; The heat-conduction coefficient of the first diffuser 300 can also be less than or equal to the heat-conduction coefficient of described second diffuser 400, as: as described in the material of distance piece 700 be stainless steel, the material of described first diffuser 300 and described second diffuser 400 is graphite.So, due to the existence of described distance piece 700, make the Material selec-tion of described second diffuser 400 more extensive, be conducive to the reduction of described chemical vapor deposition unit manufacturing cost.
Preferably, the heat-conduction coefficient of described first diffuser 300 is greater than the heat-conduction coefficient of described second diffuser 400, described first diffuser 300, the heat-conduction coefficient of described distance piece 700 and described second diffuser 400 reduces successively, thus the cooling performance of refrigerating unit 200 to the first diffuser 300 and the second diffuser 400 reduces successively, add described second diffuser 400 to need to carry out heat exchange by described distance piece 700 with described refrigerating unit 200, therefore can ensure that the temperature of the first diffuser 300 is less than the temperature of the second diffuser 400.
Be more than or equal to 35 DEG C to make the temperature of the first diffuser 300 and be less than or equal to 600 DEG C, the temperature of the second diffuser 400 is more than or equal to 135 DEG C and is less than or equal to 800 DEG C, the temperature of refrigerating unit 200 described in the present embodiment can be more than or equal to 10 DEG C and be less than or equal to 100 DEG C, and the temperature of described heating unit 120 can be more than or equal to 1000 DEG C and be less than or equal to 1500 DEG C.Such as: when the temperature of described refrigerating unit 200 is 50 DEG C, when the temperature of heating unit 120 is 1200 DEG C, the temperature of the first diffuser 300 is 290 DEG C, and the temperature of the second diffuser 400 is 680 DEG C.Further, by controlling the temperature of described heating unit 120 and described refrigerating unit 200, mainly by controlling the temperature of described refrigerating unit 200, just can according to the temperature of gas with various constituent adjustment first diffuser 300 and the second diffuser 400.
