Problems solved by technology

The film layer prepared by passivation or coating method is relatively thin, and under the continuous plasma energy bombardment, the surface of the cavity is corroded or accumulated into polymer, and finally cannot be used
[0004] Because the chemical activity of the plasma used in the etching process is strong, and the ion bombardment effect is obvious, if the chamber material has poor resistance to this type of plasma corrosion, it will bring plasma pollution, affect the etching process, and reduce the quality of the finished wafer. quality

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit chip (wafer) plasma etching, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a protective coating layer for the surface of a plasma etched cavity. The method comprises the steps of: preparing the protective coating layer for the surface of the plasma etched cavity by adopting mixed powder of pure Al powder and Y2O3-Al2O3 powder, directly spray-coating the mixed powder of pure Al powder and Y2O3-Al2O3 powder onto the surface of an ion etched cavity by high-speed jet streams, and depositing the mixed powder on the inner surface of the plasma etched cavity by means of controlling spray-coating parameters of jetting distance to be 5-50mm, gas pressure to be 0.5-5.0MPa, gas temperature to be 260-520 DEG C, gas flow-rate to be 10-30g / s and powder particle size to be 1-50 micro meters, thus forming the evenly-distributed protective coating layer which can be passivated on site in the plasma etched cavity. By virtue of the protective coating layer, the corrosion to the cavity caused by corrosive gas and the pollution to a semiconductor wafer caused by metal ions can be reduced, and the service life of a cavity material of a reaction chamber in the production of a plasma etched wafer can be prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of plasma etching of semiconductor integrated circuit chips (wafers), in particular to a method for preparing a protective coating on the surface of a plasma etching chamber. Background technique [0002] Plasma etching (also known as dry etching) is one of the key processes in integrated circuit manufacturing, and its process level will directly affect the quality of the final product and the advancement of the production process. The plasma used for etching is produced by a chemically active gas. Under low pressure, the reactive gas is excited by radio frequency power to generate ionization and form a plasma. The gas in the reaction chamber forms a large amount of reactive gas under the impact of electrons. The radicals, active groups and the etched wafer or chip form a chemical reaction to form volatile reaction products, which are detached from the surface of the wafer and drawn out of the cavity. [0003] The ge...
