Abstract
Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus and method for reducing electrostatic charge of a power electrode. Background Technology
[0002] Generally, to manufacture semiconductor devices, a desired pattern is formed on a substrate by performing various processes such as etching, ashing, ion implantation, thin film deposition, and cleaning. Here, the etching process is a process for removing selected heated regions among the films formed on the substrate, and wet etching and dry etching are used.
[0003] In dry processes, chemical treatment by radicals and physical treatment by ions can be performed. To perform chemical and physical treatments independently, a double chamber structure has been proposed that is divided into upper and lower sections by an ion blocker and a showerhead, which allow electrically neutral substances such as radicals and gases to pass through but do not allow ions to pass through.
[0004] Meanwhile, electrostatic charging may occur at the upper power electrode as charge accumulates due to coolant circulation. As a method to remove the accumulated charge, a technology has been disclosed that can remove the charge by directly generating ions. However, this raises concerns about arcing as the output of the ionizer is exposed in the propagation path, and the movement of the generated ions may affect the electric field distribution for plasma generation.
[0005] In addition, other disclosed conventional technologies can remove accumulated charge by indirectly changing the surrounding electric field, but this has the limitation that it requires a separate electrode and can be used only when the high-frequency electric field is turned off, as it may cause arc discharge or affect the electric field distribution.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1, a substrate processing device (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a process chamber (100), a substrate support (200), a gas supply unit (300), and a plasma generation unit (400). The process chamber (100) is composed of an upper chamber (110) equipped with an upper electrode (420) and a lower chamber (120) including a processing space (101) in which a substrate (W) is processed. At this time, the process chamber (100) may have a circular tube shape. The process chamber (100) is provided with a metal material, for example, aluminum. An opening (130) is formed in one side wall of the process chamber (100), and the opening (130) may be used as an entrance / exit port through which the substrate (W) can be taken in and out. An exhaust port (not shown) is installed on the bottom surface of the process chamber (100), and the exhaust port (not shown) functions as an outlet (150) through which by-products generated in the processing space (101) are discharged to the outside of the process chamber (100). At this time, the exhaust operation is performed by a pump.
[0028] A substrate support member (200) is installed within the processing space (101) and supports a substrate (W). The substrate support member (200) may be an electrostatic chuck that supports the substrate (W) using electrostatic force, and the electrostatic chuck may include a dielectric plate on which the substrate (W) is placed on an upper surface, an electrode installed within the dielectric plate that provides electrostatic force to adsorb the substrate (W), and a heater installed within the dielectric plate that heats the substrate (W).
[0029] The gas supply unit (300) supplies process gas to the interior of the process chamber (100), and the gas supply unit (300) may include a first gas supply module (310) and a second gas supply module (320). The first gas supply module (310) provides a first process gas to the upper chamber (110), and the first process gas may be a fluorine-containing gas, for example, nitrogen trifluoride ( ) It may be a gas. The second gas supply module (320) provides a second process gas into the processing space (101), and the second process gas may be a nitrogen and hydrogen-containing gas, for example, ammonia ( ) It may be a gas. Accordingly, nitrogen trifluoride ( ) is excited in the form of plasma, and plasma effluent and ammonia( ) can react to form an etchant for etching the substrate (W). Meanwhile, the first gas supply module (310) may further provide a third process gas, and the third process gas may be an inert gas, such as Ar or Ne. The third process gas may be provided together with the first process gas and may help move the first process gas.
[0030] The plasma generation unit (400) includes a high-frequency power source (410), an upper electrode (420), an ion blocker (430), and a shower head (440), and serves as a capacitively coupled plasma source. The upper electrode (420) is provided in the upper chamber (11), and the high-frequency power source (410) is connected to the upper electrode (420) and provides high-frequency power through an impedance matching unit (411). The shower head (440) can partition the upper chamber (110) and the lower chamber (120), and the ion blocker (430) is provided in the upper chamber (110) but can be provided between the upper electrode (420) and the shower head (440). At this time, a first space (401) is disposed between the upper electrode (410) and the ion blocker (430), a second space (402) is disposed between the ion blocker (430) and the shower head (440), and a processing space (101) may be located below the shower head (440). That is, the upper chamber (110) may provide the first space (410) and the second space (402), and the lower chamber (120) may provide the processing space (101).
[0031] A substrate processing device (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a first gas supply module (310) connected to an upper electrode (420) to supply a first process gas and / or a third process gas to a first space (401) through the upper electrode (420). More specifically, the first process gas supplied through the first gas supply module (310) is provided to the first space (401) through a first gas supply hole (421) formed in the upper electrode (420). Furthermore, a substrate processing device (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention supplies the high-frequency power supply (410) to the upper electrode (420) to excite the first process gas provided to the first space (401) in the form of plasma. The first process gas excited in a plasma state includes radicals, ions, and / or electrons.
[0032] The plasma formed in the first space (401) can be filtered by passing through the ion blocker (430). That is, the ion blocker (430) can be connected to a constant voltage, and radicals or uncharged neutral species among the plasma effluent can be supplied to the second space (402) through a first through-hole (431) formed vertically in the ion blocker (430), whereas charged species (i.e., ions) cannot pass through the first through-hole (431) and can be filtered. Accordingly, the filtered plasma effluent can be supplied to the second space (402) by passing through the ion blocker (430) through the first through-hole (431).
[0033] At this time, the shower head (440) may be provided to be connected to the second gas supply module (320), and the plasma effluent provided to the second space (402) may pass through the shower head (440) and be provided to the processing space (101). That is, the shower head (440) may further include a second gas supply hole (441) formed to receive the second process gas from the second gas supply module (320) and provide it to the processing space (101), and a second through hole (442) formed to communicate with the second space (402) to provide the plasma effluent provided to the second space (402) to the processing space (101). Accordingly, the plasma effluent provided to the second space (402) is provided to the processing space (101) through the second through hole (442), and the plasma effluent can be reacted and mixed with the second process gas supplied through the second gas supply hole (441) to process the substrate, and, for example, can form an etchant for etching silicon oxide.
[0034] At this time, the upper electrode (420) may be charged with static electricity by power supply from the high-frequency power source (410), and a phenomenon in which charge is accumulated may occur as a coolant (not shown) circulates inside the upper electrode (420). The charge accumulated in the upper electrode (420) may cause micro-arcing during the plasma generation process.
[0035] To solve the above problem, a substrate processing device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention further includes a filter unit (500). The filter unit (500) is connected to the upper electrode (420) and can remove the charge accumulated on one surface of the upper electrode (420) according to the power supply of the high-frequency power source (410).
[0036] For example, a filter unit (500) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a separate discharge control circuit (not shown), and a discharge control circuit (not shown) that is a passive or active circuit may move the charge to cause the charge to be consumed in a resistor (not shown). By doing so, the filter unit (500) can remove the charge accumulated on one side of the upper electrode (420). In another embodiment, the filter unit (500) may detect the type of charge accumulated on one side of the upper electrode (420) through a charge detector (not shown) and generate positive or negative ions through an ion generator (not shown) and send them to one side of the upper electrode (420) to remove the accumulated charge. The filter unit (500) may be applied without limitation as long as it can remove the charge accumulated on one side of the upper electrode (420).
[0037] More specifically, a filter unit (500) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a filter circuit (510) connected between the upper electrode (420) and ground, and the filter circuit (510) may include a low pass filter. Referring to FIG. 2, since one end of the filter circuit (510) is grounded and the other end is connected to one side of the upper electrode (420), the charge accumulated on one side of the upper electrode (420) can be moved to ground and removed, and at the same time, the high frequency generated from the high frequency power source (410) cannot pass through the filter circuit (510), thereby preventing the high frequency from being lost to ground. Accordingly, the substrate processing device (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention can prevent charge from being accumulated on the upper electrode (420) even during plasma generation, and at the same time prevent the high frequency from being short-circuited.
[0039] FIG. 3 illustrates a substrate processing device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4 to 7 illustrate a gas feeding section (600) included in the substrate processing device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view of a gas feeding section (600) according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view AA' of FIG. 4, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view BB' of FIG. 4, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view CC' of FIG. 4. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7, a substrate processing device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Descriptions of parts that overlap with the substrate processing device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention described above will be omitted, and descriptions will be based on the differences.
[0040] A substrate processing device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a gas feeding unit (600). The gas feeding unit (600) is connected to the upper electrode (420) and can receive process gas from the gas supply unit (300) and deliver it into the interior of the process chamber (100). At this time, the filter unit (500) may be inserted into the gas feeding unit (600). Meanwhile, the gas feeding unit (600) may be installed on one side of the upper electrode.
[0041] The gas feeding section (600) may include a feeding block (610), a supply conduit (620), and a wire (630). The feeding block (610) may be installed on one side of the upper electrode (420), may have a square column shape, and may be composed of a resin-based material. The supply conduit (620) is provided inside the feeding block, and one end may be formed to communicate with the gas supply section (300), and the other end may be formed to communicate with the upper electrode (420), thereby allowing the process gas supplied from the gas supply section (300) to be provided to the first space (401) through the upper electrode (420). The wire (630) may be composed of a conductive material, inserted inside the feeding block (610), with one end grounded and the other end electrically connected to the upper electrode (420). At this time, the filter unit (500) is inserted into the feeding block (610) and further includes a filter circuit (510) connected between the wire (630) and the ground, and the filter circuit (510) may include a low-pass filter. Accordingly, the charge accumulated on the upper electrode (420) can be removed by moving to the ground along the wire (630), while the high frequency is blocked by the filter circuit (510), so the substrate processing device (1) can remove the charge of the upper electrode and at the same time prevent loss due to the grounding of the high frequency.
[0042] Meanwhile, the gas feeding section (600) can be connected to the first gas supply module (310) and can receive a first process gas from the first gas supply module (310) and supply it to the first space (401) through the upper electrode (420). That is, one end of the supply conduit (620) can be connected to the first supply line (311) of the first gas supply module (310), and the other end can be connected to the upper electrode (420). At this time, the supply conduit (620) may have an L-shape. Accordingly, the first process gas can be supplied from the first gas supply module (310) through the gas feeding section (600) to the upper electrode (420). At this time, the first supply line (311) can be coupled with the feeding block (610) by a fastening member (not shown) penetrating through it, and the feeding block (610) may have a coupling groove (611) formed on one side into which the fastening member (not shown) can be inserted so that the first supply line (311) can be coupled. Accordingly, the first gas supply module (310) can be coupled with the feeding block (610) by inserting the fastening member (not shown) penetrating through the coupling groove (611).
[0043] Furthermore, the gas feeding section (600) may further include a sealing member (640) inserted to prevent leakage of process gas at least on the surface where the first supply line (311) and the supply conduit (620) meet, or on the surface where the supply conduit (620) and the upper electrode (420) meet. The sealing member (640) may be provided to surround the outer side of the supply conduit (620) and may be located on the inner side rather than the coupling groove (611). To this end, the feeding block (610) may have a groove formed around the end side of the supply conduit (620) so that the sealing member (640) is inserted, and the sealing member (640) is inserted into the groove to prevent leakage of the first process gas during transport.
[0044] The wire (630) may be provided to be connected to the coupling groove (611) such that one end contacts the fastening member (not shown). Accordingly, one end of the wire (630) can be grounded by contacting the fastening member (not shown), and the other end is electrically connected to the upper electrode (420), thereby removing the charge accumulated on one side of the upper electrode (420). Furthermore, the wire (630) may be provided at one end on the side of the coupling groove (611) and may further include a contact assist part (not shown) for contact with the fastening member (not shown). For example, although not shown in the drawing, the contact assist part (not shown) may refer to a part of the wire (630) that has a spring shape, or may refer to a cushion (not shown) for contact between the fastening member (not shown) and the one end of the wire (630). However, any configuration that facilitates contact between the wire (630) and the fastening member (not shown) may be applied without limitation. Accordingly, the substrate processing device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention can facilitate the wire (630) being grounded.
[0045] According to the structure described above, a substrate processing device (1) according to another embodiment of the present invention inserts a low-pass filter (LPF) into a gas feeding section (600) so that the charge accumulated on the upper electrode (420) moves to ground along the wire (630), and the low-pass filter (LPF) can act as an RF choke to prevent the high frequency supplied from the high frequency power source (410) from being lost to ground. In addition, the substrate processing device (1) continuously prevents the accumulation of charge and does not require the separate installation or replacement of the filter circuit (510) by inserting the filter circuit (510) as an integral part inside the gas feeding section (600) without the need for separate installation or replacement of the filter section (500).
[0046] Meanwhile, although the substrate processing device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described as having a structure using a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) source configured with a double chamber, it is not limited thereto, and if the filter unit (500) can remove the charge accumulated on one surface of the electrode that supplies power, it can also be applied to a structure using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source.
[0048] FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a substrate processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0049] A substrate processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a mounting step (S100), a gas supply step (S200), a plasma generation step (S300), a filter step (S400), and a substrate processing step (S500). The configuration of the substrate processing device (1) described in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 may be applied. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the method may be described by a substrate processing device comprising a first space (401) disposed between an upper electrode (420) and an ion blocker (430), a second space (402) disposed between the ion blocker (430) and a shower head (440), and a processing space (101) for processing a substrate (W) below the shower head (440). Hereinafter, a substrate processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 8.
[0050] First, the above-mentioned mounting step (S100) may mount a substrate (W) on a substrate support (200) provided in the processing space (101). The above-mentioned gas supply step (S200) may allow a first gas supply module (310) to supply a first process gas to the first space (401) through an upper electrode (420). Here, the first process gas may be a fluorine-containing gas, for example, nitrogen trifluoride ( ) It may be a gas. More specifically, the gas supply step (S200) includes the step of the first gas supply module (310) delivering the first process gas to a gas feeding part (600) provided on one side of the upper electrode (420), and the step of the gas feeding part (600) providing the first process gas to the first space (401) through a first gas supply hole (421) formed in the upper electrode (420). That is, the first gas supply module (310) can supply the first process gas to the first space (401) through the gas feeding part (600).
[0051] The above plasma generation step (S300) can excite the first process gas into plasma by the plasma generation unit (400) supplying power to the upper electrode (420) through a high-frequency power source (410). For example, nitrogen trifluoride, which is the first process gas, within the first space (401). ) can be excited in the form of plasma. Meanwhile, in the plasma generation step (S300), the upper electrode (420) may have charge accumulated on one surface, and an arcing phenomenon may occur during plasma generation due to the accumulated charge.
[0052] In the filter step (S400), the filter unit (500) connected to the upper electrode (420) can block the high frequency provided from the high frequency power source (410) and allow the charge accumulated on one surface of the upper electrode (420) to pass through. At this time, the filter step (S400) can be performed simultaneously with the plasma generation step (S300), and if the filter circuit (510) described later is connected, it can be performed continuously from before the start of the plasma generation step (S300). Accordingly, the substrate processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention can prevent micro-arcing by preventing charge from accumulating on the surface of the upper electrode (420), and the plasma generation step (S300) can be performed continuously without a high frequency short circuit.
[0053] At this time, the filter unit (500) is provided inside the gas feeding unit (600) and may include a filter circuit (510) connected between the upper electrode (420) and ground, and the filter circuit (510) may include a low pass filter. Accordingly, the substrate processing method according to one embodiment of the present invention can remove the charge accumulated on one surface of the upper electrode (420) by the filter circuit (510) and at the same time block high frequency to prevent loss due to grounding of high frequency.
[0054] In the above substrate processing step (S500), the effluent of plasma generated in the first space (401) is provided to the processing space (101), and the second gas supply module (320) supplies a second process gas to the processing space (101) through the shower head (440) to process the substrate (W). Here, the second process gas may be a nitrogen and hydrogen-containing gas, for example, ammonia ( It can be ) gas. Plasma effluent and ammonia( ) can react to form an etchant for etching the substrate (W).
[0055] Accordingly, the substrate processing method according to one embodiment of the present invention can prevent arcing by removing the charge accumulated on one surface of the upper electrode as the filter step (S400) is performed, and the plasma generation step (S300) can be performed without a high-frequency short circuit as the high frequency is blocked by the filter circuit.
[0057] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it is understood that it can be modified and implemented by those skilled in the art without changing the technical concept of the present invention as claimed in the claims.
