Definitions
- the present invention is directed to the method and means for depositing polycrystalline silicon from silane in a vacuum.
- This process contemplates the use of a gas source and a means for assuring a uniform flow of gas into the deposition chamber.
- the deposition chamber is a hot wall furnace.
- the deposition zone is kept at as uniform a temperature as possible.
- the preferred temperature is 600C with a workable range extending from 600C to 700C.
- the deposition zone is profiled flat from a temperature point of view, the deposition rate over the length of the tube appears as a flattened curve. This means that at the source and exhaust portions of the tube, the dep0Sition rates are different from that rate in the central flattened portion.
- the boat upon which the wafers are placed is centered within the center portion of the curve along its flattest portion. Wafers are placed perpendicular to the gas flow with a preferred spacing approximately 50 mils on center when using wafers 21) mils thick.
- the wafers are placed in the tube from the source input end. At the gas exhaust end. intermediate the tube and the vacuum pump, is an optical baffle. The function of the optical baffle is to collect the undeposited silane material and silicon lay-products which pass through the tube.
- the undeposited silane material appears in the form of a brown dust which is granular silicon and silicon monoxide. This granular material forms around the exit end of the tube and in the baffle.
- the prior art method for forming polycrystalline silicon on wafers is run in a hot-wall furnace using nitrogen gas as the carrier gas and silicon tetrahydride as the source of silicon.
- the furnace is given a heat profile which resembles a ramp beginning at the source end and increasing towards the exhaust end of the tube.
- Each furnace is independently profiled such that there is a rain-out profile giving the most uniform front-toback. and sideto-side poly deposition as is possible within the system.
- the quartz boat is placed in the rain-out area of the furnace and wafers are placed side-by-side with one broad surface on the boat such that the deposition of the polycrystalline silicon occurs over the opposing and upturned second major surface. Because of the placement of the wafers on their flat surfaces, approximately l2 to wafers fit within the deposition zone of the furnace at any one time. Normally, two lines of wafers are placed on the boat. The deposition profile of the polycrystalline material on the wafer appears bell-shaped when taken on a straight line across the wafer and perpendicular to the flow of gas. This means that in the center of the wafer, the polycrystalline material is thickest and at the edge of the wafer. it is thinnest. Normally.
- an average thickness of 4,500 A. is chosen with the thickest material in the center at 6.000 A. and the edge thickness of the material at 3,000 A.
- the center portion of 6.000 A. thick material can be too thick for the manufacture of devices on that wafer while the 3.000 thick A. of polycrystalline silicon can be too thin for the successful fabrication of devices. Accordingly. some workable devices are fabricated in the intermediate area where the polycrystalline thickness is typically 4.500 A.
- a third drawback in this system is the wafers are placed into the furnace from the exit end. the brown, powdered silicon material oftentimes drops off the walls onto the wafer as they are being pulled out of or put into the furnace.
- the prior art process for deposit polycrystalline on wafers has the problems of low throughut; i.c.. l2 to 20 wafers at a time. non-uniformity of deposition of material $1,500 A. across the surface of the wafers. and the wafers are put in from the exit end of the tube subjecting them to the flaking off of powdered silicon material which then falls onto the wafers either prior to polycrystalline silicon deposition or after such polycrystalline silicon deposition.
- Such deposition of granular silicon renders the adjacent area unfit for the fabrication of devices.
- the present invention relates generally to a process and product for the deposition of polycrystalline silicon on a substrate in a heated tube, using a gaseous source and a vacuum and. more particularly, the present invention relates to a process and product for depositing polycrystalline silicon on a substrate in a heated tube using silicon tetrahydride as the source gas. and using a vacuum.
- substrates used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices at temperatures over 600C such as silicon. germanium, sapphire, spine], ceramic. silicon dioxide, and refractory metals such as tungston. molybdenum.

I2 identifies a plurality of locations on a wafer which is coated with a substantially uniform thickness of polycrystalline silicon material over substantially all of the area of the wafer, when the wafer is spaced from the next adjacent wafer approximately 50 mils on centers using mil thick wafers;
- FIG. 13 shows the cross sectional profile of the thickness of polycrystalline film above the lines XX' and Y-Y' shown in FIG. 12 of a wafer placed in a furnace of FIG. 7 wherein the spacing between adjacent wafers is on 50 mil centers and the wafers are 20 mils thick;
- FIG. 14 shows the maximum variations of deposited polycrystalline silicon over the wafer surface as a function of the spacing of the wafers.
- FIG. I there is shown a source I of nitrogen gas which is the carrier gas for the system and a source of 3 of silicon tetrahydride which is a source of silicon.
- the furnace tube 5 can be heated by resistance heater coils 7 adjusted to give a temperature profile as shown in FIG. 2.
- This temperature profile has been chosen in combination with the deposition profile as shown in FIG. 3 such that the highest degree of uniformity of polycrystalline deposition is achieved on the wafers 9 which are placed within the fallout range of the tube as indicated by the line 11 shown in FIG. 1.
- the fallout range is that area of the tube 5 at which the polycrystalline silicon deposits out of the gas flow through the tube.
- the temperature within the furnace is such as to decompose the silicon tetrahydride causing the silicon to rainout from the gas stream onto the wafers positioned below.
- the top view of the wafer having polycrystalline silicon deposited thereon shown in FIG. 4 while a cross section through the wafer taken on the lines 5-5 perpendicular to the gas flow is shown in FIG. 5 and shows the variation in thickness across a single representative wafer. The coverage of the wafers is greatest at the center of the wafer and tapers off to a thinnest portion on the edge of the wafers.
- FIG. 6 shows the variation in thickness of polycrystalline silicon depending on the location of the wafer within the fallout zone 11.
- this view shows the temperature profile of the prior art deposition tube.
- the temperature is established as a ramp beginning at 625C at the source end of the fallout zone identified as A.
- the central portion B of the fallout zone is set at 650C, while the exhaust end C of the fallout zone is held at 675C.
- this view shows the deposition thickness profile as a measure of the position of the wafer surface in the fallout zone.
- This figure shows a variation of first a plus 3,000 A. and then a minus 3,000 A. along the fallout zone.
- the source end of the fallout zone A shows a thickness of 3,000 A
- the central point B shows a thickness of 6,000 A.
- the exhaust end shows a thickness of 3,000 A.
- the profile is a typical profile for a fixed run of 30 minutes. Larger or shorter runs would give different numbers. Also other factors such as flow rates and temperatures would give different numbers from run to run if minute differences in such run parameters occurred.
- FIG. 4 shows the top view of a typical 2-inch wafer. Larger or smaller size wafers would have similar shaped profiles in all the views, both in the prior art and in the new system.
- the source gas is flowing from left to right in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 5 shows the variation of the polycrystalline deposition across a single wafer along a line perpendicular to the source gas flow. This figure shows that the target thickness is identified as X A. This target thickness is exceeded by a figure of approximately 500 A. in the center Q of the wafer, and the actual thickness falls short by about L000 A. at both edges P and R of the wafer.
- FIG. 6 shows the variation of polycrystalline silicon thickness across the wafer taken along the direction of gas flow at the center N of a wafer and at both the first edge M and trailing edge 0 depending upon the place rnent of the wafer in the fallout zone 1 1.
- Curve C shows a generally decreasing thickness for a wafer placed at the exhaust end.
- Curve B shows a concave variation for the center of the fallout zone.
- Curve A shows a generally increasing thickness for wafers placed at the source end of the tube.
- a medium thickness of 4,500 A. is selected such that the thickest portion of the wafer along the line 6-6 of FIG. 4 is approximately 6,000 A. thick, FIG. 3, while the thinnest part of the wafer along the line 55 is at 3,000 A. thick, FIG. 3.
- This variation in thickness guarantees that certain regions of the wafer have an optimum thickness of the polycrystalline mate rial at 4,500 A. With the optimum thickness, certain usable devices can be made on the wafer. However, it has been found that 3,000 A. can be too thin and 6,000 A. can be too thick for usable device performance.
- FIG. 7 there is shown a schematic view of the present system wherein the preferred source 20 of semiconductor material is silane in a gaseous form.
- Other sources can be used as SiC1 H SiClH or SiCl...
- a flowmeter 22 is provided for metering the correct amount of silane gas flow into the tube and over the wafers.
- a first source 24 of nitrogen is provided along with a nitrogen flowmeter 26. This flow is normally used at a low flow level to backflush any residual silane remaining within the plumbing lines outside of the furnace since silane is explosive when above a certain temperature and exposed to air.
- a second source 28 of nitrogen is provided along with a flowmeter 30 for measuring the flow of nitrogen from the source 30 into a tube 32.
- This source of nitrogen is used for rapidly bringing the evacuated tube 32 up to atmospheric pressure as well as aiding in the initial heating of the wafers. While nitrogen is shown, any inert gas normally used in the processing of semiconductor wafers can be used; i.e., argon, etc. Best results are achieved when the source gas 20 is used along during the deposition of the polycrystalline material. All gases flow in the direction of the arrow 34. An end cap 36 is in engagement with the tube to provide a vacuum seal with the tube. The N and SiH, flows enter the tube 32 at the point where the line 38 pases through an appropriate fitting in the end cap 36. A pressure sensor and vacuum gauge 40 is also attached to the input line 38 for reading the pressure and vacuum at this point.
- the furnace tube 32 is profiled to exhibit a flat temperature profile as shown in FIG. 8 while the deposition profile is shown with reference to FIG. 9.
- the usable range of the furnace provides a thickness variation of only 500 A. from the front to the back of the furnace. Referring to FIG. 13 briefly, this figure shows that for any one wafer the thickness is substantially constant over the entire wafer surface when the wafers are stood on edge perpendicular to the gas flow.
- the embodiment shown with reference to FIG. 7 provides this improved thickness control.
- the profiling temperature for the furnace shown in FIG. 7 can lie within a tmeperature range anywhere from 600-700 for giving practical results. At temperatures lower than 600, the rate of deposition slows to the point where the run takes too long. However, in those instances where a slow deposition rate can be tolerated, temperatures can be lowered to the minimum temperature at which the silane decomposes. At the upper end of the temperature spectrum; i.e.. above 700C, crystalline imperfections are formed on the surface of the wafers. Such imperfections or outgrowths are formed in a deposition atmosphere in the absence of hydrogen.
- FIG. 8 shows the preferred temperature profile of the furnace 32 wherein the temperature of 600C is established at the source end A, the center B and the exhaust end C of the deposition zone indicated in FIG. 7 by a line 41.
- FIG. 9 shows the deposition profile of the system shown in FIG. 7 when the tube is heated to 600C and the deposition run lasts for thirty minutes.
- the variation from the source end A to the exhaust end B of the deposition zone is 500 A. as indicated by a line 42.
- the deposition profile within the preferred deposition zone of the tube plus a leading and trailing edge is shown by the curve 43. It has been found that the best results are achieved when the maximum deposition thickness is set at the target thickness and the variations occur on the downward side as shown in FIG. 9. Similar deposition curves are achieved using a target thickness other than 4,500 A.
- optical baffles 45 are attached at the exhaust end 46 of the quartz tube 32 to trap out the powdered silicon at this point.
- Wafers 47 are placed into a quartz boat 49 and the loaded boat is loaded into the tube through the source end 51 of the quartz tube 32. In this way contact with the deposited powdered silicon material at the exhaust end 45 of the quartz tube is avoided.
