A kind of test method for reaction source bottle
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of reaction source bottle for atomic layer deposition apparatus, more specifically, relate to a kind of test method for reaction source bottle.
Background technology
Technique for atomic layer deposition (AtomicLayerDeposition, ALD), being called as atomic layer epitaxy technology (AtomicLayerEpitaxy, ALE) the earliest, is a kind of semiconductor film membrane preparation technology proposed by Finland scholar TuomoSuntola.
The principal reaction method of technique for atomic layer deposition is: at a certain temperature, in the reaction chamber of atomic layer deposition apparatus, pass into the first pre-reaction material, precursor molecules is adsorbed and forms promoting agent on the surface of a substrate; When the absorption of precursor reaches capacity state, remove the first precursor and by product; Then, pass into the second pre-reaction material, the second precursor and promoting agent, i.e. the first precursor generation chemical reaction of being adsorbed on substrate surface, generate the unimolecular layer of film to be prepared, and discharge the by product of gaseous state at substrate surface; Then, remove the second precursor in reaction chamber and by product, the like.Like this, by by two or more gaseous precursors alter least-squares reaction chamber, form alternately saturated reaction layer at processed substrate surface, thus realize ald.By selecting the growth cycle of different number, to prepare the film of different thickness.
The preparation of above-mentioned vapor reaction precursor, in reaction process process, by passing into carrier gas (being generally nitrogen) in reaction source bottle, and carrying reaction soln (being generally trimethyl aluminium or water) by carrier gas, in reaction chamber, periodically passing into realization.This is because the saturated vapor pressure of usual liquid source (reaction soln) is lower, the quantity of steam relying on self volatilization to produce can not meet technique needs, therefore, need by passing into carrier gas in reaction source bottle, rely on carrier gas to come transport fluid source, periodically in reaction chamber, provide pre-reaction material.
Therefore, in order to scientifically design and develop reaction source bottle, accurately to carry out measure control in reaction process process, the carrying capacity of effective raising carrier gas, first need some the main technical details research experiment in reaction process process, comprise the relation between source bottle air input, liquid level, solution temperature, pressure of the inside of a bottle and liquid source carrying amount etc., to determine the reasonableness designed.
At present, existingly determine that the ordinary method of the design technical parameter of source bottle is realized by on-line sampling, namely by the actual procedure of reaction process, the parameters such as source bottle air input, liquid level, solution temperature, pressure of the inside of a bottle are sampled, then through series of computation, the mutual relationship between these parameters and liquid source carrying amount is obtained.The defect of this method is the more difficult assurance of precision of image data in the actual procedure of reaction process, and the accuracy of influence research Relationship between Parameters often needs just can be completed by data gathering repeatedly; And image data in the actual procedure of reaction process, also can bring certain impact to productive temp.
