Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding, and should be considered as merely exemplary. Accordingly, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.
The etching gas commonly used in semiconductor process has C x F y 、C x H y F z 、Cl 2 、HBr、SF 6 、NF 3 、O 2 And H 2 Etc. Typically C is used x F y And H is 2 As a process reaction gas, a more excellent etching selectivity can be achieved, and less plasma damage is generated to the processed semiconductor workpiece. However, the inventors have found that such mixed gases are also very susceptible to damage to components within the semiconductor processing apparatus (e.g., components within the etch reactor chamber, particularly ceramic components), and that chamber contamination can affect product yields.
In order to reduce the damage of the above-mentioned process gas to the components of the semiconductor processing apparatus (especially, ceramic components), the present inventors have performed special coating treatment on the ceramic components (e.g., nozzles) in the reaction chamber, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the surface to the process gas and further achieving the requirement of controlling the process stability. The present inventors have developed a corrosion resistant coating for a reaction chamber (e.g., etch chamber) and method of forming. The corrosion-resistant coating can achieve excellent corrosion-resistant effect and better process stability, so that equipment can run more efficiently and reliably, longer service life is realized, and higher overall efficiency is realized in mass production.
Corrosion resistant coating and semiconductor processing device

sample preparation: sample block I: anodic oxidation substrate + protective layer + corrosion resistant reinforcement layer sample block ii: anodic oxidation substrate + protective layer
The experimental process comprises the following steps:
1. preparing a plastic pipe (hydrochloric acid corrosion resistant) with an inner diameter of 18mm, and newly prepared 10wt% hydrochloric acid reagent and a tested sample block;
2. adhering the plastic pipe to the surface of the coating by using sealant;
3. 7ml of freshly prepared 10wt% hydrochloric acid solution was injected and timing started;
4. when a large number of bubbles appear in the hydrochloric acid solution or more than three continuous bubbles appear in the same point per second, the timing is stopped, and the obtained time is the corrosion time.
