Description

靜電卡盤 Electrostatic chuck

本發明涉及半導體制程設備,具體地,涉及用於固定被實施等離子體處理的待加工件的靜電卡盤以及具有該靜電卡盤的等離子體處理裝置。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor process apparatus, and in particular to an electrostatic chuck for fixing a workpiece to be processed subjected to plasma processing and a plasma processing apparatus having the same.

在半導體設備的製造過程中,例如蝕刻、沉積、氧化、濺射等處理過程中,通常會利用等離子體對待加工件(晶片)進行處理。一般地,對於等離子體處理裝置來說,作為生成等離子體的方式,大體上可分為利用電暈(glow)放電或者高頻放電,和利用微波等方式。 In the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, such as etching, deposition, oxidation, sputtering, etc., the workpiece to be processed (wafer) is usually processed by plasma. Generally, as a plasma processing apparatus, as a method of generating plasma, it can be roughly classified into a method using a glow discharge or a high-frequency discharge, and a method using microwaves.

例如,在高頻放電方式的等離子體處理裝置中,待加工件被置於靜電卡盤之上,所述靜電卡盤通過靜電力來固定所述待加工件。現有的靜電卡盤通常包括第一絕緣層和基體,第一絕緣層中設置有直流電極,由該直流電極對晶片施加靜電力。 For example, in a plasma processing apparatus of a high-frequency discharge type, a member to be processed is placed on an electrostatic chuck, and the electrostatic chuck fixes the workpiece to be processed by an electrostatic force. A conventional electrostatic chuck generally includes a first insulating layer and a substrate, and a DC electrode is disposed in the first insulating layer, and an electrostatic force is applied to the wafer by the DC electrode.

在對待加工件進行等離子化處理的過程中,靜電卡盤需要在縱向上向待加工件傳遞熱量,以提高晶片蝕刻的均勻性,為此目前的等離子體加工處理過程中會在陶瓷材料的第一絕緣層的下方添加第二絕緣層,在第二絕緣層中設置加熱絲等進行加熱。第一絕緣層與第二絕緣層之間通過矽膠粘結在一起。 In the process of plasma processing the workpiece, the electrostatic chuck needs to transfer heat to the workpiece to be processed in the longitudinal direction to improve the uniformity of the etching of the wafer. For this reason, the current plasma processing process will be in the ceramic material. A second insulating layer is added under the insulating layer, and a heating wire or the like is provided in the second insulating layer for heating. The first insulating layer and the second insulating layer are bonded together by silicone.

基體中通常包括多個冷卻液流道,用於注入冷卻液對靜電卡盤進行冷卻。 The substrate typically includes a plurality of coolant channels for injecting a coolant to cool the electrostatic chuck.

然而,在加熱晶片的過程中,由於基體通常由鋁製成,其熱傳導率較高,第二絕緣層散發的熱量被冷卻液流道中的 冷卻液帶走,從而使第一絕緣層以及晶片不能快速升溫,影響等離子體處理的工藝效果。 However, in the process of heating the wafer, since the substrate is usually made of aluminum, its thermal conductivity is high, and the heat radiated from the second insulating layer is absorbed in the coolant flow path. The coolant is carried away, so that the first insulating layer and the wafer cannot be heated rapidly, which affects the process effect of the plasma treatment.

因此,研究人員期望研發處一種靜電卡盤結構,其 能減少加熱絲產生的熱量向基體傳導,降低熱量被冷卻液帶走的速度,從而使固定於第一絕緣層上方的晶片快速升溫。 Therefore, researchers expect to develop an electrostatic chuck structure, The heat generated by the heating wire can be reduced to the substrate, and the speed at which the heat is carried away by the cooling liquid can be reduced, so that the wafer fixed above the first insulating layer is rapidly heated.

所述基體5位於所述第二絕緣層3的下方,用於支撐所述第一絕緣層1以及第二絕緣層3。具體地,所述基體5優選地由鋁製成,其橫截面呈圓形。更具體地,所述基體5包括至少一個冷卻液流道51,所述冷卻液流道51用於注入冷卻液對所述靜電卡盤進行冷卻。所述冷卻液流道51設置於所述基體5的內部,可以理解的是,所述冷卻液流道51還連接一冷卻裝置(圖1中未示出),所述冷卻裝置向所述冷卻液流道51提供冷卻液,所述冷卻液流道51則容納冷卻介質,以降低所述基體5的溫度。 The base body 5 is located below the second insulating layer 3 for supporting the first insulating layer 1 and the second insulating layer 3. In particular, the base body 5 is preferably made of aluminum and has a circular cross section. More specifically, the base body 5 includes at least one coolant flow path 51 for injecting a cooling liquid to cool the electrostatic chuck. The coolant flow path 51 is disposed inside the base body 5. It is understood that the coolant flow path 51 is also connected to a cooling device (not shown in FIG. 1), and the cooling device is cooled to the cooling device. The liquid flow path 51 provides a cooling liquid, and the cooling liquid flow path 51 accommodates a cooling medium to lower the temperature of the substrate 5.

更進一步地,所述基體5還包括一阻熱單元,所述阻熱單元設置於所述冷卻液流道51的上部且與所述第二絕緣層3相貼,所述阻熱單元用於降低所述加熱器4所產生的熱量向所述冷卻液流道51傳遞的速度,以加快所述第二絕緣層3升溫的速度。 Further, the base body 5 further includes a heat blocking unit, the heat blocking unit is disposed at an upper portion of the coolant flow path 51 and is in contact with the second insulating layer 3, and the heat blocking unit is used for The speed at which the heat generated by the heater 4 is transferred to the coolant flow path 51 is reduced to speed up the temperature rise of the second insulating layer 3.

圖2示出了根據本發明的第二實施例的靜電卡盤的 縱截面結構示意圖。具體地,所述基體5置於所述第二絕緣層3的下方.,所述基體5包括阻熱單元,與第一實施例不同之處在於:在圖2所示的第二實施例中,所述阻熱單元由第一阻熱層521以及第二阻熱層522構成。其中,所述第一阻熱層521位於所述第二阻熱層522的上方,所述第一阻熱層521貼於所述第二絕緣層3的下方,所述第一阻熱層521和所述第二阻熱層522均位於所述冷卻液流道51的上方。 Figure 2 shows an electrostatic chuck according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Schematic diagram of longitudinal section structure. Specifically, the substrate 5 is placed under the second insulating layer 3. The substrate 5 includes a heat blocking unit, which is different from the first embodiment in the second embodiment shown in FIG. The heat blocking unit is composed of a first heat blocking layer 521 and a second heat blocking layer 522. The first heat blocking layer 521 is located above the second heat blocking layer 522, the first heat blocking layer 521 is attached to the lower side of the second insulating layer 3, and the first heat blocking layer 521 is The second heat blocking layer 522 is located above the coolant flow path 51.

When the second heat blocking layer 522 is made of the same titanium or titanium alloy material as the first heat blocking layer 521, the first heat blocking layer 521 and the second heat blocking layer 522 can be understood as a whole. When the heat-insulating unit is composed only of the first heat-resisting layer 521, the thickness of the heat-insulating unit is increased, thereby more effectively reducing the heat generated by the heater 4. The speed of the transfer to the coolant flow path 11 enhances the effect of the heat-insulating unit.

進一步地,在一些變化例中,所述阻熱單元還可以 包括更多阻熱層,例如增加第三阻熱層,所述第三阻熱層的置於所述第二阻熱層522的下方,其同樣可以由鈦或鋁材料中的任一 種製成,通過增加多層相同或不同材料的阻熱層使所述阻熱單元的阻熱效果增加,本領域技術人員理解,這些變化例均可以結合圖2所示實施例予以實現,此處不予贅述。 Further, in some variations, the heat blocking unit can also Including more heat blocking layer, for example, adding a third heat blocking layer, the third heat blocking layer being disposed under the second heat blocking layer 522, which may also be made of any of titanium or aluminum materials. The heat-insulating effect of the heat-insulating unit is increased by adding a plurality of heat-insulating layers of the same or different materials, and those skilled in the art understand that these variations can be realized in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG. Do not repeat them.

更具體地,與第一實施例不同之處在於:所述第一 絕緣層1與所述第二絕緣層3之間還設有一隔離粘結層8。所述隔離粘結層8由伸縮性材料製成,優選地,所述隔離粘結層8由矽膠製成,其厚度小於0.3mm,用於適應所述第一絕緣層1與所述第二絕緣層3之間不同幅度的熱膨脹,並且所述隔離粘結層8還起到粘結所述第一絕緣層1與所述第二粘結層3的作用。 More specifically, the difference from the first embodiment is that the first An isolation bonding layer 8 is further disposed between the insulating layer 1 and the second insulating layer 3. The insulating bonding layer 8 is made of a stretchable material. Preferably, the insulating bonding layer 8 is made of silicone and has a thickness of less than 0.3 mm for accommodating the first insulating layer 1 and the second. Different degrees of thermal expansion between the insulating layers 3, and the insulating bonding layer 8 also functions to bond the first insulating layer 1 and the second bonding layer 3.

更為具體地,結合上述圖1至圖3所示實施例,本 領域技術人員理解,本發明的靜電卡盤的基體增加一阻熱單元,該阻熱單元的優選地使用鈦材料製成。由於△T=q/G,G=k/d,其中△T為溫度梯度,q為熱流密度(熱流強度)即單位時間內通過等溫面上單位面積的熱量,G為熱導率,k為材料導熱係數,d為所述冷卻液流道至所述第二絕緣層下表面的距離,並且鈦材料的k值為22W/(m.K)相較於其他材料的導熱係數如鋁材料的k值為170W/(m.K)要小很多,因此採用鈦材料可以使所述阻熱單元的阻熱能力加強,並且根據公式G=k/d可知,所述冷卻液流道至所述第二絕緣層下表面的距離與熱導率呈反比,因此增加所述阻熱單元的厚度也可使所述阻熱單元的阻熱能力加強。由於所述阻熱單元的 能力加強,從而使熱量更多地集中在所述第二絕緣層不易流向所述冷卻液流道,因此所述第二絕緣層的熱量也可以快速上升,以達到本發明所需的目的。 More specifically, in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 above, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the base of the electrostatic chuck of the present invention is provided with a heat resistant unit which is preferably made of a titanium material. Since △T=q/G, G=k/d, where ΔT is the temperature gradient, q is the heat flux density (heat flow intensity), that is, the heat per unit area passing through the isothermal surface per unit time, G is the thermal conductivity, k For the thermal conductivity of the material, d is the distance from the coolant flow path to the lower surface of the second insulating layer, and the k value of the titanium material is 22 W/(m.K) compared to the thermal conductivity of other materials such as aluminum material. The k value is much smaller than 170 W/(m.K), so that the heat resistance of the heat-insulating unit can be enhanced by using a titanium material, and according to the formula G=k/d, the coolant flow path is The distance between the lower surface of the second insulating layer is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity. Therefore, increasing the thickness of the heat-insulating unit can also enhance the heat-blocking capability of the heat-insulating unit. Due to the heat block unit The ability is enhanced to concentrate more heat on the second insulating layer to flow to the coolant flow path, so that the heat of the second insulating layer can also rise rapidly to achieve the desired purpose of the present invention.

本發明的靜電卡盤可以應用於用於對待加工件進行 等離子體處理工藝的等離子體處理裝置,所述等離子體處理裝置包括一反應腔室和本發明第一實施例或第二實施例的靜電卡盤。 等離子體處理工藝在反應腔室中進行,待加工件被吸附固定於靜電卡盤之上,一起置於反應腔室中。 The electrostatic chuck of the present invention can be applied to a workpiece to be processed A plasma processing apparatus for a plasma processing apparatus, the plasma processing apparatus comprising a reaction chamber and an electrostatic chuck of the first embodiment or the second embodiment of the present invention. The plasma treatment process is carried out in the reaction chamber, and the workpiece to be processed is adsorbed and fixed on the electrostatic chuck and placed together in the reaction chamber.

所述等離子體處理裝置通過使靜電卡盤的基體增加 一阻熱單元,使加熱器釋放的熱量被冷卻液流道帶走的速度變慢,熱量能夠積聚於第二絕緣層以及第一絕緣層中,使待加工件的升溫加快,從而等離子體處理工藝效果得到了提高。 The plasma processing apparatus increases the base of the electrostatic chuck a heat-blocking unit, so that the heat released by the heater is slowed away by the coolant flow path, and heat can be accumulated in the second insulating layer and the first insulating layer, so that the temperature of the workpiece to be processed is accelerated, thereby plasma treatment The process effect has been improved.
