Gas intake system and substrate processing equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a gas intake system and a set of substrate processing equipment. The gas intake system comprises a gas inlet communicated with a reaction cavity, a gas intake pipeline and at least one gas source, wherein different gas sources provide different types of gases. The gas intake pipeline comprises a main line, main line valves, branches and branch valves, wherein the main lines are connected between the gas inlet and all the gas sources and used for delivering gases output by the gas sources into the reaction cavity through the gas inlet; the main line valves are arranged on the main lines and used for connecting or disconnecting the main lines; one ends of the branches are connected into the main lines in series and located on the upstream of the main line valves, and the branches are used for discharging gases in the main lines when the main line valves are closed; the branch valves are arranged on the branches and used for connecting or disconnecting the branches. According to the gas intake system, the efficiency for switching the types of gases in the reaction cavity is high, and thus the technological efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microelectronics, in particular to an air intake system and substrate processing equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, the deep silicon etching process has gradually become one of the hottest processes in the field of MEMS processing and TSV technology, and the main difference between the deep silicon etching process and the general silicon etching process is: the etching process of the deep silicon etching process The depth is much greater than that of the general silicon etching process. The etching depth of the deep silicon etching process is generally tens of microns or even hundreds of microns, while the etching depth of the general silicon etching process is less than 1 micron. To etch a silicon material with a thickness of tens of microns, the deep silicon etching process is required to have a faster etching rate, a higher selectivity ratio and a larger aspect ratio. [0003] For th...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] The above-mentioned air intake system inevitably has the following problems in practical applications, that is, when the deposition exhaust or etching exhaust steps are performed, the residual gas in the intake pipeline 20 must flow through the entire intake pipeline 20 and then be exhausted. into the reaction chamber 10, and then discharged from the reaction chamber 10, resulting in a longer exhaust time for the residual gas, and, because the above-mentioned inlet pipeline 20 has only one dry path, the gas required for subsequent operations must wait The gas remaining in the gas inlet pipeline in one operation can only be passed into the reaction chamber after it is ex
