Background
In a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device such as a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), etching is a crucial step. The existing Etching process mainly includes two modes of Wet Etching (Wet Etching) and Dry Etching (Dry Etching). Dry etching generally refers to an etching technique for performing Pattern Transfer (Pattern Transfer) by generating plasma containing charged particles such as ions and electrons, and neutral atoms, molecules, and radicals having high chemical activity by Glow Discharge (Glow Discharge) method.
In both the dry etching process and the wet etching process, the pattern is transferred downwards through the plurality of mask layers and finally formed on the surface of the wafer. However, during the deposition of the mask layer, the thickness of the edge region of the film layer formed on the wafer surface is often greater than that of the central region due to the different processing conditions to which the central region and the edge region of the wafer are exposed. Thus, on the one hand, the thickness uniformity of the film layer is reduced; on the other hand, in the process of transferring the pattern downwards, due to uneven thickness of the film layer, incomplete etching may occur in the edge region of the film layer, which affects the downward transfer of the pattern, and finally, the pattern formed on the surface of the wafer has a large difference from the designed pattern, which affects the yield of the final semiconductor device, and even results in the rejection of the wafer in severe cases.

As shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3A to 3C, and fig. 4, the film deposition apparatus according to the present embodiment includes:
a carrier 10 for carrying a wafer 11;
a showerhead 12 disposed above the carrier 10 for ejecting a reaction gas to the wafer 11 on the surface of the carrier 10, wherein the reaction gas is used to form a film on the surface of the wafer 11;
and a shielding structure for shielding an edge region of the showerhead 12 to reduce the concentration of the reactive gas in the edge region of the wafer 11.
Specifically, the film deposition apparatus has a reaction chamber 17 surrounded by a housing 16, and the carrier 10 is located in the reaction chamber 17 for carrying the wafer 11. Heating elements such as electric heating wires can be embedded in the carrying part 10 for heating the wafer 11 on the surface of the carrying part 10. In an axial direction (i.e., a Y-axis direction in fig. 1 and 2) along the reaction chamber 17, the showerhead 12 is disposed above the carrier 10, and an axis of the showerhead 12 coincides with an axis of the carrier 10, that is, a projection of a center of an ejection surface 121 of the showerhead 12 coincides with a center of a carrying surface of the carrier 10 for carrying the wafer 11. The projection of the spray surface of the spray head 12 in the Y-axis direction at least covers the surface of the wafer 11. The reaction gas is sprayed to the wafer 11 from the collision head 12 and deposited on the surface of the wafer 11 to form the film layer.
In the embodiment, the shielding structure is arranged, so that the shielding structure can shield the edge area of the nozzle 12, and since the nozzle 12 sprays the reaction gas along the Y-axis negative direction, the shielding of the edge area can reduce the concentration of the reaction gas transmitted to the edge area of the wafer 10, thereby reducing the film thickness of the edge area of the surface of the wafer 10, so that the film thickness of the edge area of the surface of the wafer is approximately consistent with the film thickness of the central area, and on one hand, the uniformity of the film thickness deposited on the surface of the wafer can be improved; on the other hand, in the subsequent etching process of the film layer, the film layer in the edge area of the wafer can be fully etched, the problem of film layer residue in the edge area is avoided, and therefore the etching quality is improved.
The specific structure of the shielding structure is not limited in this embodiment, as long as shielding of the edge region of the showerhead 12 can be achieved, and the reduction is performed to avoid the reactive gas ejected from the edge region of the showerhead 12, thereby reducing the concentration of the reactive gas in the edge region of the surface of the wafer 11.
Optionally, the surface of the spray head 12 facing the carrier 10 is a spray surface 121, and the spray surface 121 has a plurality of spray holes 13; the shielding structure includes:
a plurality of shielding members 15, wherein the shielding members 15 are used for closing a plurality of spray holes 13;
and the driver 41 is connected with the shielding piece 15 and used for driving the shielding piece 15 to move towards the edge of the spraying surface 121.
The driver 41 is not visible at the angle shown in fig. 4 and is therefore indicated in dashed lines. Specifically, the shield 15 is initially located at the periphery of the ejection face 121 of the ejection head 12, as shown in fig. 1; when shielding of the edge area of the injection surface 121 is required, the driver 41 drives the shielding member 15 to move toward the injection surface 121 until the shielding member 15 shields a plurality of injection holes 13 of the edge area of the injection surface 121, as shown in fig. 2. The number of the nozzle holes 13 shielded by the shielding member 15 may be one or more. The term "plurality" as used in the present embodiment means two or more. The shape and/or size of the shielding member 15 and the distance that the driver drives the shielding member 15 to move can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, so that the shielding member 15 can shield a preset number of the spray holes 13 at the edge of the spray face 121, or the shielding member 15 can shield an area at the edge of the spray face 121 with a preset size. The specific type of the driver 41, which can be, but is not limited to, a stepper motor, can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.
In the present embodiment, the shielding member 15 is used to shield the surface of the nozzle hole 13 from being parallel to the plane of the injection surface 121. In other embodiments, a person skilled in the art may also set the surface of the shielding member for shielding the nozzle hole to be inclined by a preset angle relative to the plane of the injection surface 121 according to actual needs, as long as the nozzle hole can be closed.
The material of the shield 15 is preferably a high-resistance ceramic material having a volume resistivity of greater than or equal to 1012 Ω · m and a relative permittivity of less than or equal to 30, so that the shield 15 is suitable for use in a temperature range of-55 ℃ to 860 ℃.
Optionally, the number of the shielding members 15 is multiple, and the multiple shielding members 15 are distributed around the periphery of the ejection surface 121, and the end portions of the adjacent shielding members 15 can be connected in a clamping manner;
the driver 41 is connected to a plurality of the shutters 15 for driving the plurality of the shutters 15 to move synchronously toward the ejection face 121, so that the plurality of the shutters 15 are connected to each other to form the shutter ring 30.
Optionally, the plurality of nozzle holes 13 are annularly arranged to form a plurality of injection rings, and the plurality of injection rings are sequentially nested along a direction in which the center of the injection surface 121 points to the edge of the injection surface 121;
the shield ring 30 closes at least the nozzle holes 13 in the outermost jet ring.
Optionally, the shielding member 15 is arc-shaped, a first end of the shielding member 15 has a bayonet 31, a second end opposite to the first end has a protrusion 32, and two adjacent shielding members 15 are connected to the protrusion 32 through the bayonet 31 in a snap-fit manner.
Specifically, the plurality of injection holes 13 on the injection surface 121 are arranged to form a plurality of circles, each circle serving as one injection ring, that is, each injection ring is surrounded by a plurality of injection holes. The inner diameters of the plurality of spray rings are different from each other so that the plurality of spray rings can be sequentially nested in a direction in which the center of the spray surface 121 points to the edge of the spray surface 121. In this embodiment, all the nozzle holes 13 on the injection surface 121 may be arranged together to form a plurality of injection rings, and the plurality of rings may be sequentially nested along a radial direction of the injection surface 121 (i.e., along a direction in which a center of the injection surface 121 points to an edge of the injection surface 121); for example, a plurality of the nozzle holes located at the edge region of the injection surface 121 are arranged to form a multi-turn injection ring, while the nozzle holes located at the central region of the injection surface 121 are arranged radially (as shown in fig. 3A), and the multi-turn injection rings located at the edge region are sequentially nested along the radial direction of the injection surface 121. The term "multiple turns" as used in the present embodiment means two or more turns.
The following description will be given taking as an example that the shape of the shielding member 15 is a circular arc and the number of the shielding members 15 in the shielding structure is 4. At the initial moment of the film deposition process, a plurality of the shields 15 are distributed around the periphery of the ejection face 121, and the reaction gas is ejected from all the ejection holes 13 on the ejection face 121 toward the surface of the wafer 11, i.e., all the ejection holes 13 on the ejection face 121 are in an open state, as shown in fig. 3A. After the state shown in fig. 3A continues for the first preset time, the driver 41 starts to drive 4 of the shutters 15 to move synchronously toward the edge of the ejection face 121, as shown in fig. 3B. Each arrow direction in fig. 3B indicates a movement direction of the shutter 15 corresponding thereto. The first preset time is determined by the film thickness of the film layer to be formed on the surface of the wafer 11. When four shutters 15 move to the edge of the ejection face 121, the adjacent shutters 15 are engaged with the protrusions 32 through the bayonets 31 at the ends to form a shutter ring 30 as shown in fig. 3C. The shielding member 30 shields at least all the nozzle holes 13 located at the outermost circle of the injection surface 121. By adjusting the driving force of the driver 41, the clamping force between the adjacent shields 15 can be adjusted, and the reaction gas is prevented from being transmitted from the gap between the adjacent shields 15 to the edge region of the surface of the wafer 11.
In other specific embodiments, the following may be provided: the number of the shielding members 15 is plural, and the plural shielding members 15 are distributed around the periphery of the ejection face 121; the driver 41 is connected to a plurality of the shielding members 15, and is configured to drive at least one of the shielding members 15 to move toward the spraying surface 121, so as to close the plurality of spraying holes 13 on the spraying surface 121. That is, the driver 41 can be controlled to drive part of the shields 15 in the plurality of shields 15 to move towards the injection surface 121 as required, so as to shield part of the edge area of the injection surface 121, and thus flexible adjustment of the number of the injection holes to be closed can be realized.
FIG. 5 is a graph of the thickness profile of a film formed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 5, the thickness of the film layer at the edge region of the wafer 11 can be made to be close to the thickness of the film layer at the central region of the wafer 11 by shielding the nozzle 13 at the edge region of the ejection surface 121.
Optionally, the film deposition apparatus further includes:
a reaction chamber 17, wherein the bearing part 10 is positioned in the reaction chamber 17;
an annular support 40 for supporting the showerhead 12, the reaction gas injected from the showerhead 12 entering the reaction chamber 17 through an annular opening in the annular support 40;
the shield 15 and the driver 41 are embedded in the annular support frame 40.
Only a partial structure of the annular support frame 40 is shown in fig. 4. Taking the example of the shielding structure comprising 4 of the shields, only a quarter of the ring support 40 is shown in fig. 4. The shielding member 15 and the driver 41 are embedded in the casing interlayer of the annular supporting frame 40, and when the edge region of the spray head 12 needs to be shielded, the driver 41 drives the shielding member 15 to extend out of the casing interlayer of the annular supporting frame 40; when it is no longer necessary to shield the edge region of the showerhead 12, the driver 41 can also drive the shield 15 to retract into the housing interlayer of the annular support 40, the nozzle holes 13 of the edge region of the showerhead 12 are opened again, and the reaction gas can be transmitted to the edge of the wafer 11 from the nozzle holes 13 of the edge again.
