Problems solved by technology

Under the action of the shower head and the gas pumping ceramic ring in the prior art, since the gas is distributed outward from the center of the stage, it is easy to cause uneven distribution of peripheral gas, resulting in uneven distribution of plasma; in addition, the plasma is affected by The electric field control is affected by the upper and lower plates near the edge of the two plates, which causes the electric field to bend, which in turn leads to uneven distribution of the plasma, and in both cases, affects the deposition rate of the film on the wafer surface, resulting in edge film uneven
[0004] With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, the area of ​​wafers to be processed will continue to increase. In the prior art, the problem of uneven accumulation of wafer films caused by shower heads with evenly distributed through holes and ceramic rings with fixed air extraction holes will become more serious. Prominent, in summary, it is necessary to improve the hardware in the semiconductor plasma processing device, improve the uniformity of the plasma distribution of the process gas, and improve the surface morphology of the film on the wafer surface

Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor plasma processing device capable of improving the appearance of a film at the surface of a wafer. The processing device comprises a reaction cavity and the wafer to be processed, the reaction cavity is internally provided with a spray head, an objective table and an exhausting ceramic ring, edge holes are distributed non-uniformly in the spray head, an exhausting hole of the exhausting ceramic ring moves downwardly, and the spray head is placed opposite to the objective table in the reaction cavity. The amount of edge holes of the spray head is reduced to reduce gas flow at the edge of the wafer, and the film at the edge of the wafer is avoided from too fast growth; the position of the exhausting hole of the exhausting ceramic ring moves downwardly to change the air flow path of exhausting and adjust the deposition effect of the substrate surface; and the film can grow uniformly on the substrate due to novel design of the spray head and exhausting ceramic ring in the device.
