Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a remote plasma cleaning apparatus and a cleaning method using the remote plasma cleaning apparatus.

The present invention relates to a remote plasma cleaning apparatus and a cleaning method using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a remote plasma cleaning apparatus capable of reducing nitrogen trifluoride used in a semiconductor wafer manufacturing process, And a cleaning method using the remote plasma cleaning apparatus.

 Generally, today, semiconductor devices are classified into three processes: lithography for pattern formation, deposition for depositing a thin film, and etching for etching a deposited film according to a pattern.

The deposition process, which is one of the indispensable processes for manufacturing a semiconductor device, is mostly performed in a vacuum reactor, and the deposited thin film is deposited not only on the wafer but also on the walls of the chamber and on the wafer stage.

As the thin film to be deposited thickens, it affects the process and sometimes peels off the wafer element due to peeling and causes defects.

Accordingly, a cleaning process is performed by generating a plasma in the reaction furnace or remotely generating a plasma to introduce active species (radical) of the florine-based gas into the chamber.

Flourine gas used for cleaning mainly uses nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3 ), which is an environmentally harmful gas with a very high warming index.

These compound gases emit toxic byproducts, absorb infrared wavelengths, and have long periods of time in the atmosphere, which has a major impact on global warming.

The presence of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) amounts to thousands of times the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and the effects of global warming are in the thousands to tens of thousands times.

Therefore, efforts are needed to reduce the amount of perfluorocarbons emitted after the semiconductor production process, or to develop new gases that do not emit global warming gas.

Korean Patent Application No. 10-2003-7015440 discloses "cleaning gas and etching gas ".

The prior art was to provide a cleaning gas comprising a perfluoro cyclic ether having from two to four oxygen atoms ether bonded to a carbon atom.

Conventionally, argon (Ar) has been used to generate a remote plasma, followed by nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3 ), and a combination of argon and nitrogen trifluoride or nitrogen trifluoride alone has been used for remote plasma.

There is an attempt to add nitrous oxide (N 2 O) in order to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxide (N 2 O) used. However, because nitrous oxide which is not completely decomposed is also a warming gas, the cleaning process of adding oxygen or ozone is developed so that the cleaning rate is also increased and the amount of the nitrogen oxide Gas was needed to replace it.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for reducing fluorine-based gas used in a semiconductor wafer fabrication process wherein the cleaning efficiency can provide similar efficiency, And to provide a remote plasma cleaning apparatus and a cleaning method that can prevent environmental pollution.

As a result, the cleaning power can be increased and the amount of NF3 used can be reduced.

In one embodiment of the present invention, nitrogen oxide (NO) gas is added together with oxygen to generate nitrogen oxide active species (Radical) in the plasma, thereby weakening the binding of nitrogen or oxygen atoms on the surface of the silicon oxide thin film, .

In one embodiment of the present invention, the remote plasma apparatus induces a plasma discharge with nitrogen or argon because it is difficult to generate plasma only with oxygen or nitrogen trifluoride.

A remote plasma cleaning apparatus according to the present invention includes: a semiconductor deposition chamber for performing a process in vacuum; A remote plasma device installed outside the semiconductor deposition chamber and connected to the semiconductor deposition chamber to maintain the same vacuum; Wherein the plasma power output frequency of the remote plasma apparatus varies from 200 KHz to 500 KHz according to an impedance; A nitrogen trifluoride supply connected to the gas inlet pipe connected to the remote plasma apparatus; A nitrogen supply unit connected to the gas inlet pipe connected to the remote plasma apparatus; And an oxygen supply connected to the gas inlet pipe connected to the remote plasma apparatus, wherein oxygen is added after the plasma discharge by the nitrogen supplied from the nitrogen supply unit.

Meanwhile, in the cleaning method using the above-described remote plasma cleaning apparatus, a plasma discharge is performed by nitrogen through a nitrogen supply unit; And adding oxygen or ozone after the plasma discharge, wherein oxygen or ozone is added to increase the cleaning rate by increasing the reactivity by supplying energy to the evaporation layer of the oxygen active species.
