Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS
  • Field of the Invention
  • This application is a divisional application of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/623,238, filed Jan. 15, 2007, which is herein incorporated by reference.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention generally relates to the field of semiconductor processing. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for thermally processing a semiconductor substrate.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • Rapid thermal processing (RTP) is a process for annealing substrates during semiconductor processing. During RTP, thermal radiation is generally used to rapidly heat a substrate in a controlled environment to a maximum temperature of up to about 1350° C. This maximum temperature is maintained for a specific amount of time ranging from less than one second to several minutes depending on the process. The substrate is then cooled to room temperature for further processing. High intensity tungsten halogen lamps are commonly used as the source of heat radiation. The substrate may be provided additional heat by a heated susceptor conductively coupled to the substrate.
  • The semiconductor fabrication process has several applications of RTP. Such applications include thermal oxidation, high temperature soak anneal, low temperature soak anneal, and spike anneal. In thermal oxidation, a substrate is heated in oxygen, ozone, or a combination of oxygen and hydrogen which causes silicon substrate to oxidize to form silicon oxide. In high temperature soak anneal, a substrate is exposed to different gas mixtures such as nitrogen, ammonia, or oxygen. Low temperature soak anneal is generally used to anneal substrate deposited with metal. Spike anneal is used when the substrate needs to be exposed to high temperature for a very short time. During a spike anneal, the substrate is rapidly heated to a maximum temperature sufficient to activate dopant and cooled rapidly to end the activation process prior to substantial diffusion of the dopant.
  • RTP usually requires a substantially uniform temperature profile across the substrate. In the state of the art process, the temperature uniformity may be improved by controlling heat sources, such as a laser, an array of lamps, configured to heat the substrate on the front side while a reflective surface on the back side reflects heat back to the substrate. Emissivity measurement and compensation methodology have been used to improve the temperature gradient across the substrate.
  • As the semiconductor industry develops, the requirement for temperature uniformity during a RTP also increases. In some processes, it is important to have substantially small temperature gradient from about 2 mm inside the edge of the substrate. Particularly, it may be necessary to heat a substrate at a temperature between about 200° C. to about 1350° C. with a temperature deviation of about 1° C. to 1.5° C. The state of the art RTP systems have difficulties to reach this kind of uniformity, especially near the edge of the substrate. In a RTP system, an edge ring is usually used to support a substrate near the periphery. The edge ring and the substrate overlap producing a complicated heating situation near the edge of the substrate. In one aspect, the substrate may have different thermal properties near the edge. This is mostly pronounced for a patterned substrate, or for a silicon-on isulator—(SOI) substrate. In another aspect, the substrate and the edge ring overlap near the edge, it is difficult to achieve uniform temperature profile near the edge by measuring and adjusting the temperature of the substrate alone. Depending on the edge ring's thermal properties relative to the substrate's thermal and optical properties, the temperature profile of a substrate is generally either edge high or edge low.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates two types of common temperature profiles of a substrate processed in a RTP chamber. The vertical axis denotes measured temperatures on a substrate. The horizontal axis denotes the distance from the edge of the substrate. Profile 1 is an edge high profile where the edge of the substrate has the highest temperature measurement. Profile 1 is an edge low profile where the edge of the substrate has the lowest temperature measurement. It is difficult to remove temperature deviation near the edge of the substrate in the state of the art RTP systems.
  • Therefore, there is a need for apparatus and methods used in RTP for improved temperature uniformity.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention generally provides apparatus and methods for achieving uniform heating to a substrate during a rapid thermal process.
  • One embodiment of the present invention provides a chamber for processing a substrate comprising a chamber enclosure defining a processing volume, a substrate support disposed in the processing volume, an edge ring disposed on the substrate support, the edge ring is configured to support the substrate on a periphery of the substrate, a first heat source configured to heat the substrate, and a second heat source configured to heat the edge ring, wherein the second heat source is independently controllable from the first heat source.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention provides a rapid thermal processing chamber comprising a chamber body defining a chamber volume, a temperature controlled edge ring disposed in the chamber volume, wherein the temperature controlled edge ring is configured to thermally coupled with a substrate being processed near a periphery of the substrate, a first heat source configured for primarily heating a surface of the substrate, and a second heat source configured for primarily heating the temperature controlled edge ring.
  • Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for uniformly heating a substrate to a target temperature comprising positioning the substrate in a processing chamber connected with a first heat source, thermally coupling a periphery of the substrate to an edge ring, heating a surface of the substrate with the first heat source, and maintaining the edge ring at a ring temperature differs from the target temperature.

In one embodiment, the predetermined desired temperature of the edge ring 20 may be higher than the target temperature of the substrate 12. In another embodiment, the predetermined desired temperature of the edge ring 20 may be lower than the target temperature of the substrate 12. The desired edge ring temperature may be determined from either heat transfer modeling (conductive, radiative, convective) or from experimental results. In either case, the optical properties of the substrate and/or the edge ring are varied and the temperature uniformity of the wafer is measured. the results of these experiments lead to prediction of the desired temperature profile for the edge ring to achieve the best uniformity on the substrate.
  • In another embodiment, the desired temperature for the edge ring 20 may be dynamic and adjustable according to the in-situ thermal measurements of the substrate 12 and the edge ring 20.
