具体实施方式
在以下详细公开内容中,阐述了示例性的实施方式以便提供对本文公开的装置和方法的理解。然而,对于本领域技术人员将显而易见的是,可以在没有这些具体细节的情况下或通过使用替代的元件或过程来实践示例性的实施方式。在其他情况下,没有详细描述已知的方法、程序和/或组件,以免不必要地使本文所公开的实施方式的一些方面难以理解。
根据示例性的实施方式,本文公开的装置和相关方法可以用于进行化学沉积,例如等离子体增强化学沉积(PECVD)。该装置和方法可以与基于半导体制造的电介质沉积工艺结合使用,该工艺需要在多步沉积工艺(例如,原子层沉积(ALD)、等离子体增强原子层沉积(PEALD)、脉冲沉积层(PDL)或等离子体增强脉冲沉积层(PEPDL)处理)中的单独的自限制沉积步骤,然而它们不限于此。
如所指出的,本实施方式提供用于进行化学沉积(例如等离子体增强化学气相沉积)的装置和相关方法。该装置和方法特别适用于与基于半导体制造的电介质沉积工艺结合使用,该工艺需要在多步沉积工艺(例如,原子层沉积(ALD)、等离子体增强原子层沉积(PEALD)、等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)、脉冲沉积层(PDL)或等离子体增强脉冲沉积层(PEPDL)处理)中的单独的自限制沉积步骤,但是它们不限于此。上述工艺可能遭受与在经处理的晶片的背侧上的沉积相关的一些缺点,这可能由于由背侧膜沉积引起的晶片上的应力而导致晶片弯曲。
在化学沉积工艺中,诸如晶片之类的半导体衬底可以被保持在位于加热的基座上的最小接触面积(MCA)销上。晶片或其他衬底可以在诸如陶瓷承载环之类的承载环上传输,该承载环除了保持晶片之外,还有助于将等离子体聚焦到晶片上方的期望区域。基座可以由耐受高温并且对化学环境是惰性的任何材料制成。诸如铝之类的金属或诸如氮化铝和氮化硼之类的陶瓷是适当材料的实例。为了支撑晶片并容纳承载环,基座可以具有两种直径的区段,其中台形区段支撑晶片,而在基座的周边处的环形凹部允许来往基座放置用于传送晶片的承载环。虽然MCA销确保晶片的均匀和快速加热,但是在离晶片的斜边缘3mm处测得的前侧膜沉积与背侧膜沉积的比率可以为约1:1。
本文公开的实施方式优选地在诸如等离子体增强化学沉积装置(即PECVD装置、PEALD装置或PEPDL装置)之类的沉积装置中实施,然而,它们不限于此。图1提供了描绘被布置用于实施如本文所公开的实施方式的各种衬底等离子体处理装置部件的简单框图。如图所示,衬底等离子体处理装置300包括用于在处理区域中容纳等离子体的真空室324,其由包括喷头组件314的电容器型***产生,喷头组件314可选地具有与其中具有下RF电极(未示出)的衬底基座组件320一起工作的上RF电极(未示出)。至少一个RF发生器可操作以将RF能量供应到真空室324中的衬底316的上表面上方的处理区域中,以将供应到真空室324的处理区域中的气体激励为等离子体,使得可以在真空室324中执行等离子体沉积工艺。例如,高频RF发生器302和低频RF发生器304可以各自连接到匹配网络306,匹配网络306连接到喷头组件314的上RF电极,使得可以将RF能量供应到真空室324中的衬底316上方的处理区域。
由匹配网络306供应到真空室324的内部的RF能量的功率和频率足以从气体产生等离子体。在一实施方式中,使用高频RF发生器302和低频RF发生器304两者,而在替代的实施方式中,仅使用高频RF发生器302。在处理中,高频RF发生器302可以在约2-100MHz的频率下操作;在优选的实施方式中在13.56MHz或27MHz的频率下操作。低频RF发生器304可以在约50kHz至2MHz下操作;在优选的实施方式中在约350至600kHz下操作。可以基于室体积、衬底尺寸和其他因素来缩放工艺参数。类似地,处理气体的流速可以取决于真空室或处理区域的自由体积。
在真空室324内的处理期间,衬底基座组件320的上表面支撑衬底316。衬底基座组件320可以可选地包括在沉积和/或等离子体处理工艺之前、期间和/或之后保持衬底的卡盘和/或升降衬底的提升销。在替代的实施方式中,衬底基座组件320可以包括在沉积和/或等离子体处理工艺之前、期间和/或之后升降衬底的承载环。卡盘可以是静电卡盘、机械卡盘或如可用于工业和/或研究中的各种其它类型的卡盘。用于包括静电卡盘的衬底基座组件的提升销组件的细节可见于共同转让的美国专利No.8,840,754,该专利的全部内容通过引用并入本文。用于衬底基座组件的承载环的细节可见于共同转让的美国专利No.6,860,965,该专利的全部内容通过引用并入本文。背侧气体供应器341可操作以在处理期间通过衬底基座组件320将传热气体或吹扫气体供应到衬底的下表面下方的区域。衬底基座组件320可以包括在其内的下RF电极,其中下RF电极优选在处理期间接地,然而在替代的实施方式中,下RF电极可以在处理期间被供应RF能量。
为了处理在衬底等离子体处理装置300的真空室324中的衬底,经由入口312和喷头组件314将气体从气体源362引入到真空室324,其中用RF能量使气体形成等离子体,使得可以将膜沉积到衬底的上表面上。在一实施方式中,气体源362可以包括连接到加热歧管308的多个气体管线310。气体可以预混合或者单独地被供应到室。采用适当的阀和质量流量控制机构以确保在衬底处理期间通过喷头组件314输送合适的气体。在处理期间,可选地将背侧传热气体或吹扫气体供应到被支撑在衬底基座组件320上的衬底的下表面下方的区域。优选地,处理是化学气相沉积处理、等离子体增强化学气相沉积处理、原子层沉积处理、等离子体增强原子层沉积处理、脉冲沉积层处理或等离子体增强脉冲沉积层处理中的至少一种。
在某些实施方式中,在沉积、沉积后处理和/或其它工艺操作期间,采用***控制器162来控制工艺条件。控制器162通常将包括一个或多个存储器设备和一个或多个处理器。处理器可以包括CPU或计算机、模拟和/或数字输入/输出连接、步进马达控制器板等。在某些实施方式中,控制器162控制装置的所有活动。***控制器162执行***控制软件,该***控制软件包括用于控制处理操作的时序、低频RF发生器304和高频RF发生器302的操作的频率和功率、前体和惰性气体及其相对混合的流速和温度、支撑在衬底基座组件320的上表面上的衬底316和喷头组件314的等离子体暴露表面的温度、真空室324的压力、以及特定工艺的其他参数的指令集。在一些实施方式中可以采用存储在与控制器相关联的存储设备上的其他计算机程序。通常将存在与控制器162相关联的用户接口。用户接口可以包括显示屏、装置和/或工艺条件的图形软件显示、以及用户输入设备,例如指点设备、键盘、触摸屏、麦克风等。非暂时性计算机机器可读介质可以包括用于控制装置的程序指令。用于控制处理操作的计算机程序代码可以以任何常规计算机可读编程语言编写:例如汇编语言、C、C++、Pascal、Fortran或其他。编译的目标代码或脚本由处理器执行以执行程序中标识的任务。
控制器参数涉及工艺条件,例如处理步骤的时序、前体和惰性气体的流速和温度、衬底的温度、室的压力和特定工艺的其它参数。这些参数以配方的形式提供给用户,并且可以使用用户界面输入。用于监视处理的信号可以由***控制器的模拟和/或数字输入连接件提供。用于控制处理的信号在装置的模拟和数字输出连接件上输出。***软件可以以许多不同的方式设计或配置。例如,可以写入各种室部件子程序或控制对象以控制执行沉积处理所需的室部件的操作。用于此目的的程序或程序段的示例包括处理步骤的衬底时序代码、前体和惰性气体的流速和温度代码、以及用于真空室324的压力的代码。
如上所述,期望减少经处理的晶片上的背侧沉积。在示例性的实施方式中,可以显著减少背侧沉积。例如,当考虑的膜时,可以使用处理调整套件(PTK)将距离斜边缘3mm处的背侧沉积减少至/>或/>以下、优选/>或/>以下、以及更优选/>或以下。这种改进的性能是通过对在处理期间将晶片保持在承载环上方期望距离处的承载环和马蹄形物组的修改来实现。然而,在一实施方式中,晶片和承载环在处理期间可以彼此接触。
PTK包括承载环、马蹄形物和垫片组的垫片中的至少一个。在优选的实现方式中,基座包括三个凹部,其接收三个马蹄形物,通过在每个马蹄形物下方安装垫片,可以相对于基座的上表面改变马蹄形物的高度。垫片组包括可以在0.04英寸至0.08英寸范围内的不同厚度的垫片。例如,垫片组可以包括具有至少10个垫片的组、优选至少20个垫片的组以及更优选至少30个垫片的组,这些垫片具有变化为0.0005英寸的不同厚度。在示例性的实施方式中,为了与基座一起使用,垫片组可以包括具有至少三个垫片的组,垫片具有0.0465、0.0470、0.0475、0.0480、0.0485、0.0490、0.0495、0.0500、0.0505、0.0510、0.0515、0.0520、0.0525、0.0530、0.0535、0.0540、0.0545、0.0550、0.0555、0.0560、0.0565、0.0570、0.0575、0.0580、0.0585、0.0590、0.0595、0.0600、0.0605、0.0610和0.0615英寸的厚度。因此,取决于特定的沉积工艺和基座的温度,可以使用一组垫片来调整马蹄形物的高度,从而以晶片和承载环之间的预定间隙(偏移距离)来定位晶片。
在真空室324内,基座组件320支撑其上可沉积材料的衬底316。基座组件320可以与用于将衬底316加热到期望的温度的加热器块联接。通常,将衬底316保持在约25℃至500℃的温度,具体取决于将要沉积的材料。在多站沉积装置中,每个站可以将晶片加热到不同的温度,并且可以使用不同厚度的垫片来改变适合于每个站的处理条件的偏移距离。

图4A-4D示出了优选的马蹄形物500的细节。图4A是具有上表面501、端壁502、侧壁503、底表面504、孔505和槽506的马蹄形物500的透视图。侧壁504具有由弯曲区段连接的一对相对的直区段。孔505从上表面501延伸到下表面504。槽506在端壁502上开口并且沿着上表面501的约一半延伸。孔505位于槽506和侧壁504的弯曲区段之间。图4B是马蹄形物500的俯视图、图4C是马蹄形物500的端视图以及图4D是马蹄形物的沿图4B中的线A-A截取的横截面。如图4C所示,槽506由竖直壁507和水平壁508形成,其中竖直壁507包括一对短弯曲区段507a、一对直区段507b和弯曲区段507。如图4D所示,孔505包括锥形区段505a和均匀直径区段505b。马蹄形物优选具有约0.8英寸的长度、约0.5英寸的宽度、约0.5英寸的厚度,孔具有约0.15英寸的直径,狭槽具有约0.19英寸的宽度和约0.25英寸的高度,所述孔与所述槽对齐,侧壁具有由半圆形区段连接的一对平行的直区段,所述半圆形区段具有从所述孔的中心测量的约0.26英寸的半径,所述孔具有从下表面延伸约0.16英寸的均匀直径部分和延伸到马蹄形物的上表面中的锥形部分,所述锥形部分形成约80°的角度的倒角,并且槽具有沿着端壁和上表面的倒角边缘。
图5A-5C示出了垫片600的细节。图5A是垫片600的透视图,所述垫片600具有上表面601、端壁602、侧壁603、底表面604和在上表面601和下表面604之间延伸的孔605。上表面601平行于下表面604,并且侧壁603包括由弯曲区段603b连接的一对平行的直区段603a。孔605具有与马蹄形物500的孔505相同的直径。垫片组的垫片具有相同的形状和在上表面601和下表面604之间的各种厚度“t”。垫片优选地具有约0.8英寸的长度、约0.5英寸的宽度、直径约0.15英寸的孔、以及0.0465英寸、0.0470英寸、0.0475英寸、0.0480英寸、0.0485英寸、0.0490英寸、0.0495英寸、0.0500英寸、0.0505英寸、0.0510英寸、0.0515英寸、0.0520英寸、0.0525英寸、0.0530英寸、0.0535英寸、0.0540英寸、0.0545英寸、0.0550英寸、0.0555英寸、0.0560英寸、0.0565英寸、0.0570英寸、0.0575英寸、0.0580英寸、0.0585英寸、0.0590英寸、0.0595英寸、0.0600英寸、0.0605英寸、0.0610英寸或0.0615英寸的厚度。
图6示出了安装在基座组件320的矩形开口323中的马蹄形物500和垫片600的细节。如图所示,马蹄形物和垫片600通过定位销325保持在开口323中,定位销325延伸穿过垫片600中的孔605并进入马蹄形物500的孔505中。通过使用具有期望厚度“t”的垫片,可以相对于基座组件320的上表面322以期望的偏移来定位上表面501。
处理调整套件(PTK)优选地包括一组垫片,其被配置为相对于基座组件320的上表面322以期望的偏移距离定位承载环400。在多站处理装置中,例如其中四个承载环安装在位于真空室内的四个基座组件上并且晶片在每个站被顺序处理的***,每个基座组件可以设置有具有预定厚度的垫片,所述垫片被选择以减少在衬底上的背侧沉积。因此,可以在每个基座组件中使用相同的成组的马蹄形物并且使用垫片组调节它们的高度。
承载环400可以具有不同的内径以实现期望的处理效果。例如,为了改变背侧沉积的程度,可能希望减小内侧壁403的内径,以提供晶片的下侧和承载环400的环形凹部406之间的期望的间隙。承载环400的内径的千分之一英寸的数量级的变化可有助于背侧沉积的减少。
用于承载环、马蹄形物和垫片的材料优选是具有适合于半导体处理的合适纯度,例如99.5%或更高纯度的陶瓷材料。承载环、马蹄形物和垫片优选由通过任何合适的技术制成的高纯度氧化铝制成。例如,作为起始材料,可以混合高纯度氧化铝粉末和少量在烧制期间用作烧结助剂的MgCO3、CaCO3和SiO2粉末,并进行湿磨,从而获得浆料,并且可以将有机粘合剂加入到浆料中,并进行混合,然后喷雾干燥以形成氧化铝颗粒。
为了制造承载环,可以将氧化铝颗粒形成为具有约15英寸的外径、约11.7英寸的内径和约0.1英寸的厚度的成形体,具有约0.2英寸长的三个对准销。如果需要,可以将所得成形体加工,并在空气中在1550℃至1650℃下烧制以形成烧结体。所得到的烧结体可以在Ar气中,在低于烧制温度并在1500℃至1600℃范围内的温度下,以及在200MPa下,通过热等静压(HIP)进行热处理。由此,形成致密的氧化铝体。所得致密氧化铝体可在空气中,在低于通过HIP的热处理温度并在1400℃至1550℃的范围内的温度下退火至少5分钟。从热等静压成型时的温度到热等静压后的退火温度的降温速率设定为低于1.0℃/小时。例如,降温速率可以设定为0.6℃/小时。在执行退火之后,可以使用任何合适的设备(例如使用旋转研磨机的金刚石-电沉积磨石)来抛光两个主表面。由此,可以获得承载环。使用激光束机,所得到的承载环可以被加工,以便具有精确的尺寸和表面粗糙度。
为了制造马蹄形物,可以将氧化铝颗粒形成为约0.825英寸长、约0.525英寸宽和约0.53英寸厚的成形体。所得的成形体可以被加工以形成具有约0.15英寸直径的孔,在上表面处具有约80°的锥度,并且槽可以形成为具有约0.25英寸的深度、约0.2英寸的宽度和约0.3英寸的长度,并且如上面对于承载环所述那样进行处理。在执行烧结和退火处理之后,可以使用任何合适的设备(例如使用旋转研磨机的金刚石-电沉积磨石)来抛光暴露表面。由此,可以获得马蹄形物。使用激光束机,所得马蹄形物可以被加工,以便具有精确的尺寸和表面粗糙度。
为了制造垫片,可以将氧化铝颗粒形成为约0.825英寸长、约0.525英寸宽和约0.05至0.06英寸厚的成形体。所得的成形体可以被加工以形成直径为约0.15英寸的孔,并且如上面对于承载环所述那样进行处理。在执行烧结和退火处理之后,可以使用任何合适的设备(例如使用旋转研磨机的金刚石-电沉积磨石)来抛光暴露表面。由此,可以获得垫片。使用激光束机,所得到的垫片可以被加工,以便具有精确的尺寸和表面粗糙度。
本文还公开了一种处理在处理装置中的半导体衬底的方法。该方法包括将反应器化学品从反应器化学品源供应到沉积室中,以及在等离子体处理室中处理半导体衬底。该方法优选地包括等离子体处理衬底,其中使用产生在沉积室中的等离子体的RF发生器将RF能量施加到反应器化学品。
当在本说明书中使用与数值相关的词语“约”时,意味着相关的数值包括围绕所述数值的±10%的公差。
此外,当结合几何形状使用词语“一般”、“相对”和“基本上”时,意味着几何形状的精度不是必需的,而且形状的宽容度在本公开范围内。当与几何术语一起使用时,词语“一般”、“相对”和“基本上”旨在不仅涵盖满足严格定义的特征,而且涵盖非常接近严格定义的特征。
虽然已经参考其具体实施方式详细描述了包括等温沉积室的等离子体处理装置,但是对于本领域技术人员来说显而易见的是,可以进行各种改变和修改以及使用等同方式,而不背离所附权利要求书的范围。
