[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, it shows an embodiment of the thin film deposition device 1 of the present invention. The thin film deposition device 1 includes a cavity 10, a bushing 20 and a valve box 30. The cavity 10 encloses a reaction chamber 11, and a mounting cavity 12 connected to the reaction chamber 11 is provided on one side of the cavity 10; the bushing 20 is embedded in the mounting cavity 12, and a through hole 21 is provided on the top of the bushing 20; the valve box 30 is fixedly arranged on one side of the cavity 10 adjacent to the bushing 20 and seals or opens the mounting cavity 12, and the valve box 30 is provided with a through hole 31 connected to the through hole 21; wherein the protective gas flows from the through hole 31 to the through hole 21 and forms a protective flow field inside the bushing 20.

[0033] Specifically, the chamber 10 is used to form a closed space so that the wafer can undergo a thin film deposition reaction in the closed space; a variety of structural parts are installed inside and on the chamber 10, which also play a supporting role; in the semiconductor production process, before and after the thin film deposition, the wafer will be transferred to the chamber 10 of the thin film deposition equipment 1 platform by the robot in the vacuum chamber 10, so the chamber 10 encloses a reaction chamber 11, and the reaction chamber 11 is used to place the wafer so that the wafer is in the reaction chamber 11. To deposit a thin film, a reaction gas is introduced into the reaction chamber 11, where the reaction gas refers to a gas used to deposit a thin film on the surface of the wafer; and a mounting chamber 12 is further provided on one side of the chamber 10, wherein the mounting chamber 12 is formed by a depression of one side of the chamber 10 toward the center of the chamber 10, and the mounting chamber 12 is connected to the reaction chamber 11, that is, the wafer can be transferred to the reaction chamber 11 through the mounting chamber 12, thereby enabling the wafer to enter the chamber 10 from the outside of the chamber 10 and perform thin film deposition in a vacuum environment.

[0034] The valve box 30 is a channel connecting the wafer transfer platform and the thin film deposition platform of the vacuum chamber 10, and is also a switch for transferring the wafer into the chamber 10. The wafer transfer platform of the vacuum chamber 10 is located outside the gas, and is mainly used to transfer the wafer to other action positions; the thin film deposition platform refers to a device for depositing a thin film on the surface of the wafer, specifically the chamber 10 and the reaction chamber 11 formed; in order to ensure that the wafer is in a vacuum environment during thin film deposition, a valve box 30 is provided between the thin film deposition platform and the vacuum chamber 10. A valve box 30 is arranged between the two platforms, the valve box 30 is fixedly arranged on one side of the cavity 10, and is arranged adjacent to the bushing 20, that is, the bushing 20 is fixedly arranged on the side of the installation cavity 12 close to the cavity opening, the valve box 30 is located on the side of the bushing 20 close to the cavity opening, the valve box 30 is located outside the cavity 10, and the bushing 20 is located inside the cavity 10; the valve box 30 is arranged around the cavity opening of the installation cavity 12, the valve box 30 is used to seal or open the installation cavity 12, and the valve The box 30 is provided with a valve plate inside. The valve box 30 is opened to connect the wafer transfer platform and the thin film deposition platform of the vacuum chamber 10, that is, to connect the outside of the chamber 10 and the installation chamber 12 and the reaction chamber 11, so as to ensure the transfer of the wafer, so that the wafer can be transferred from the outside of the chamber 10 through the valve box 30 and the installation chamber 12 to the reaction chamber 11; when the thin film is deposited on the wafer, the reaction gas will be in the installation chamber 12 near the valve box 30 and the valve box 30 near the installation chamber 12. A thin film is generated on one side of the cavity 12. After the thin film is deposited on the wafer, when the valve plate of the valve box 30 is opened, due to the pressure difference between the film transfer platform of the vacuum chamber 10 and the reaction chamber 11 and the installation chamber 12, the gas at the connection position between the installation chamber 12 and the valve box 30 will be pressed into the reaction chamber 11, so that the particles at the place of the installation chamber 12 close to the valve box 30 and the side of the valve box 30 close to the installation chamber 12 are blown to the wafer surface, thereby affecting the control of the number of particles on the wafer surface.

[0035] Therefore, a through hole 31 is provided on the valve box 30, and the through hole 31 is used to connect the external gas pipeline and the inside of the bushing 20, so as to pass the protective gas into the inside of the bushing 20. The protective gas does not react with the reaction gas and can prevent the reaction gas from flowing toward the valve box 30. In this embodiment, the protective gas is nitrogen.

[0036] The thin film deposition device 1 includes a sleeve 20, which ensures that the temperature of the channel from the valve box 30 to the heating plate in the reaction chamber 11 for transferring wafers is stable. The sleeve 20 is embedded in the installation cavity 12, and the sleeve 20 is connected with the reaction chamber 11 and the valve box 30. A through hole 21 is provided at the top of the sleeve 20, and the through hole 21 is connected with the through hole 31, so that the protective gas can flow to the through hole 21 through the through hole 31 and finally enter the interior of the sleeve 20.

[0037] Among them, when the thin film deposition equipment 1 is started, the valve box 30 seals the installation cavity 12, and the reaction gas is introduced into the reaction cavity 11. At this time, most of the reaction gas flows to the wafer in the reaction cavity 11, and a part of it flows into the installation cavity 12, especially the space between the bushing 20 and the valve box 30; at the same time, through the through hole 31, a protective gas is introduced into the interior of the valve box 30 and the installation cavity 12, the protective gas flows between the interior of the valve box 30 and the installation cavity 12, and flows toward the direction of the bushing 20, and flows into the bushing 20 through the through hole 21. The protective gas forms a protective flow field inside the bushing 20 and on the side of the valve box 30 close to the bushing 20. At this time, the protective flow field can inhibit the reaction gas from flowing to the path of the bushing 20 and the valve box 30, thereby preventing the reaction gas from flowing to the surface of the valve box 30 and the bushing 20.

[0038] The present application sets a protective gas flow channel between the valve box 30 and the bushing 20, introduces protective gas from the outside of the valve box 30 and allows the protective gas to flow through the through hole 31, the inside of the valve box 30, and the through hole 21 to the inside of the bushing 20, so that the protective gas occupies most of the space of the bushing 20 in front of the valve plate of the valve box 30, making it difficult for the reaction gas to reach the space of the bushing 20 close to the valve box 30 and the valve plate position of the valve box 30, thereby avoiding the side of the bushing 20 close to the valve box 30 and the valve plate of the valve box 30. The phenomenon of more thin films ensures that when the wafer passes through the bushing 20 and the valve box 30, no film particles will fall onto the wafer surface, thereby affecting the control of the number of film particles on the wafer surface, so as to accurately control the number of particles on the wafer and improve the quality of wafer thin film deposition; at the same time, the number of film particles on the side of the bushing 20 close to the valve box 30 and the valve plate of the valve box 30 is reduced, the cleaning time of the thin film deposition equipment 1 is reduced, the working efficiency of the thin film deposition equipment 1 during cleaning is improved, the problem of difficulty in cleaning is avoided, and the production efficiency of the thin film deposition equipment 1 is improved.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3As shown, the through hole 31 is located in the center plane of the bushing 20, and a plurality of through holes 21 are provided. The plurality of through holes 21 are spaced apart along the length direction of the bushing 20, and the apertures of the plurality of through holes 21 distributed toward both sides from the center of the bushing 20 increase gradually. Specifically, the through hole 31 passes through from the top of the valve box 30 to the inside of the valve box 30, and the through hole 31 is located on the side of the valve plate of the valve box 30 close to the bushing 20, and the through hole 31 of the valve box 30 is in the same plane as the center plane of the bushing 20. When the valve box 30 seals the installation cavity 12, the protective gas passes through the through hole 31 from above the through hole 31 into the valve box 30 and the installation cavity 12 and is located above the bushing 20. The protective gas flows toward the through hole 21 of the bushing 20 and flows into the internal space of the bushing 20 through the through hole 21. In order to ensure that the protective gas flows to various positions of the internal space of the bushing 20 and the airflow is uniform, at the top of the bushing 20 A plurality of the via holes 21 are provided, and the plurality of via holes 21 are spaced apart along the length direction of the bushing 20, so that the protective gas can flow through the plurality of via holes 21 and enter various positions of the internal space of the bushing 20; at the same time, the plurality of via holes 21 are divided into two groups with the center line of the bushing 20 as the axis of symmetry, and the aperture of each group of the plurality of via holes 21 gradually increases from close to the center line toward the edge of the bushing 20, that is, the aperture of the plurality of via holes 21 is a gradual structure, which gradually increases from the center of the bushing 20 toward both sides; if the apertures of the plurality of via holes 21 are designed to be consistent, the flow rate of the protective gas in the center plane of the bushing 20 will be larger, and the flow rate of the protective gas on both sides will be smaller, resulting in uneven airflow. The gradient aperture in this embodiment gradually increases from the center to both sides. The smaller the aperture of the via 21, the greater the flow resistance. Therefore, the gradient aperture will allow more protective gas to flow to the vias 21 with smaller flow resistance and larger aperture on both sides, so that the flow rate of the protective gas in the via 21 close to the center of the bushing 20 and the via 21 on both sides is consistent, and the protective gas is evenly diffused in the internal space of the bushing 20, thereby improving the structural stability of the thin film deposition equipment 1 and improving product quality.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the corners of the bushing 20 are rounded. Specifically, the shape of the bushing 20 is adapted to the shape of the mounting cavity 12, and the side of the bushing 20 close to the heating plate inside the reaction chamber 11 is a semicircular arc structure to adapt to the structure of the heating plate. The bushing 20 is a rectangular structure as a whole, and the corners of the bushing 20 are set to rounded structures so that the protective gas can flow more smoothly in the internal space of the bushing 20, improve the coverage of the protective gas, and avoid the protective gas failing to flow to the corners of the bushing 20, so as to form a thin film at the corners of the bushing 20 and affect the quality of the wafer.

[0041] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the corners on both sides of the top of the bushing 20 are provided with uniform air holes 22, and the uniform air holes 22 connect the through hole 31 and the internal space of the bushing 20. Specifically, the top of the bushing 20 is provided with a plurality of via holes 21, and the plurality of via holes 21 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bushing 20, and the via holes 21 are arranged vertically at the top of the bushing 20, so that the protective gas flows to the internal space of the bushing 20 in the vertical direction; since the corners of the bushing 20 are located on both sides of the bushing 20, the protective gas at the corners of the bushing 20 is less, in order to ensure the flow of the protective gas at the corners of the bushing 20, uniform air holes 22 are provided at the corners of the bushing 20, and the uniform air holes 22 pass through both sides of the top of the bushing 20, so that the protective gas can flow at the corners of the bushing 20, so as to avoid the reaction gas from generating a thin film at the corners of the bushing 20, further improve the range of the protective flow field, and improve the wafer quality.

[0042] More specifically, the corners of the bushing 20 are set to a rounded structure, and a plurality of air uniforming holes 22 are provided on the two rounded corners at the top of the bushing 20.

In order to ensure the stability of the fixation of the bushing 20, a clamping portion 23 is also provided on the side of the bushing 20 away from the valve box 30. The clamping portion 23 is extended downward from the bottom end of the bushing 20, and the clamping portion 23 is clamped and fixed with the cavity wall of the installation cavity 12, so that the side of the bushing 20 away from the valve box 30 is fixed in the installation cavity 12 to limit the bushing 20 and prevent the bushing 20 from moving in the installation cavity 12, thereby ensuring that the structure of the bushing 20 is more stable when the wafer is transmitted in the bushing 20 and the valve box 30; more specifically, the clamping portion 23 is extended along the length direction of the bushing 20 to further improve the stability of the bushing 20.
