Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular dynamics simulation calculation, and in particular relates to a method for constructing a microscopic reaction model of a polysilicon efficient deposition process. Background Art
[0002] Polysilicon is an important industrial raw material for the information industry and solar photovoltaic power generation industry. It is a strategic frontier material that the country encourages to develop. It is also an important industrial raw material that is indispensable for supercomputers, aerospace, and cutting-edge weapons. With the rapid development of my country's electronics industry and the widespread application of polysilicon in high-tech fields, the market demand for high-quality electronic-grade polysilicon has grown rapidly. Accelerating the localization of strategic basic raw materials such as high-purity electronic-grade polysilicon for integrated circuit chips is related to the national economy, society and national defense security. The efficient deposition process of polysilicon plays an important role in the production process of high-quality polysilicon. It is the basis and key to achieving large-scale production of electronic-grade polysilicon. The current mainstream technology for producing polysilicon is the trichlorosilane-hydrogen reduction method. Its core equipment, the polysilicon reduction furnace, is actually a gas chemical vapor deposition chamber. Trichlorosilane (TCS) undergoes thermal decomposition and reduction reaction in a hydrogen atmosphere to generate single-element silicon and deposit on the surface of the heated original silicon core, which promotes the continuous growth of silicon rods and finally grows into silicon rods with a diameter of about 25 cm, which is the final polysilicon product. However, at present, there are problems such as uneven distribution of flow field and thermal field in the polysilicon reduction furnace, a large number of reaction types (as many as dozens of reactions are involved), and a large number of by-products that need to be solved urgently.
[0003] The efficient deposition process of polysilicon involves a multi-component complex heat and mass transfer process, which has the characteristics of high reaction temperature, many side reactions, low single-pass conversion rate, reversible main reaction, extremely fast reaction rate, extremely short intermediate state life, and extremely small reaction interface scale. It is extremely challenging to obtain the dynamic evolution law of the gas-solid interface. In order to develop a new generation of high-efficiency deposition technology for high-quality polysilicon, it is necessary to study the reaction intermediates, elementary reactions, reaction control steps, etc. involved, that is, it is necessary to obtain a complete chemical reaction mechanism. However, the current experimental means lack in-situ detection technology, and it is difficult to directly characterize the dynamic evolution law of the product at a high temperature of 1100°C; macroscopic simulation methods cannot simulate the gas phase and gas-solid surface chemical reaction process at the molecular scale. The molecular dynamics (MD) method is a powerful computer simulation method that connects the microscopic world and the macroscopic world. It simulates the structure and behavior of molecules with molecular models, and obtains the dynamic changes of the microscopic state of each atom and molecule in the system over time by solving Newton's equations of motion, thereby obtaining various physical and chemical properties of the molecular system statistics, and can intuitively describe the process at the molecular level. For example, quantum chemical methods in MD simulation can study the chemical reactions of the system at the electronic level and have been widely used.
[0004] The reaction molecular dynamics method is a type of MD method that combines chemical reaction force field and molecular dynamics. When applied to molecular systems, it can continuously describe the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. Its calculation accuracy is close to quantum chemical methods such as density functional theory (DFT) and greatly reduces the complexity of the calculation. It has the advantages of being able to simply describe chemical reactions and can simulate and calculate larger molecular systems. Therefore, the reaction molecular dynamics method has shown great advantages in studying the chemical reaction mechanism of the efficient deposition process of polysilicon at the molecular level. In order to realize the simulation study of reaction molecular dynamics, the first and key issue is how to construct a reasonable, accurate and easy-to-operate microscopic chemical reaction model for the surface and interface behavior of the polysilicon chemical vapor deposition process. However, there is currently no report on a model construction method suitable for describing the microscopic process of polysilicon chemical vapor deposition at ultra-high temperatures. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention is based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems: 1. Quantum chemical methods require solving the Schrödinger equation, so the calculation cost is high and the scale of the system that can be simulated and calculated is relatively small; 2. When constructing a reaction model based on quantum chemical methods, it is necessary to pre-set active sites and reaction paths, which not only increases the difficulty of model construction, but also depends on the pre-set active sites and cannot fully obtain chemical reaction information; 3. When the reaction molecular dynamics method is applied to a molecular system, it can continuously describe the breaking and generation of chemical bonds. Its calculation accuracy is close to that of quantum chemical methods such as density functional theory (DFT) and greatly reduces the complexity of calculation. It has the advantage of being able to simply describe chemical reactions and can simulate and calculate larger molecular systems. However, there is currently no model construction method suitable for describing the microscopic process of polysilicon chemical vapor deposition at ultra-high temperatures; 4. In the past, cluster models were generally used to study the hydrochlorination reaction on the surface of Si rods, but these cluster models cannot simulate continuous surfaces and cannot capture the long-range effects of crystal structures.
[0006] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

The scale of the system that can be simulated by the reaction model constructed by the present invention is greatly increased, and can reach the order of 10,000 atoms; 2. The present invention does not need to pre-set active sites and reaction paths, which not only reduces the difficulty of the model construction process and increases the ease of operation, but also helps to obtain chemical reaction process information that is closer to the intrinsic; 3. The present invention alleviates the unevenness of force distribution by fixing the Si unit cell layer, effectively solves the problem that the Si substrate cannot maintain a stable configuration at high temperature and is prone to agglomeration, and is suitable for simulating and studying the reaction process at ultra-high temperature; 4. The present invention constructs the Si substrate by periodically repeating the Si unit cell, realizing the simulation of the continuous and uninterrupted Si rod surface; 5. The chemical reaction model construction method of the present invention is suitable for the chemical vapor deposition process of polysilicon, and is also suitable for the gas-solid two-phase modeling process of other chemical vapor deposition processes.

[0035] According to the method for constructing a microscopic reaction model of the polysilicon efficient deposition process of an embodiment of the present invention, wherein, in the step a, the optimized SiHCl3 and H2 molecules are mixed according to a set ratio and a set density; in general, the set ratio and the set density are based on actual simulation requirements and simulation strategies.

In order to save the actual physical calculation time, preferably, the ratio of the mixed SiHCl3 and H2 molecules is 1:10; the density of the mixed gas also needs to be determined according to the specific simulation system. In order to maintain the aggregation state of the gas phase, the density of the mixed gas should be less than 0.01g / cm 3; The number of SiHCl3 and H2 molecules contained in the mixed gas can be determined based on the actual computing power and the acceptable physical computing time. The number of SiHCl3 molecules includes 10 to 40 in the embodiment of the present invention, but is not limited thereto; similarly, the number of H2 molecules includes 100 to 400 in the embodiment of the present invention, but is not limited thereto.
[0036] According to the method for constructing a microscopic reaction model of a polysilicon efficient deposition process according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein, in the step b, the size of the Si substrate in the x and y directions is larger than the size of the mixed gas in the corresponding x and y directions. In the construction method of the embodiment of the present invention, the size of the mixed gas in the x and y directions is rounded upward to obtain an integer of the size of the mixed gas. When setting the size of the Si substrate in the x and y directions, the Si substrate size number needs to be greater than or equal to the integer of the mixed gas size, and then the number of Si crystal cells of the Si substrate is obtained according to the Si substrate size number; in the construction method of the embodiment of the present invention, the number of layers of Si crystal cells in the z direction is determined based on the actual computing power and the acceptable physical computing time, and the number of layers of Si crystal cells contained in the z direction of the Si substrate is at least 2 layers. Furthermore, the number of Si crystal cell layers fixed in the z direction of the Si substrate needs to satisfy the condition: 1≤fixed number of Si crystal cell layers≤(total number of Si crystal cell layers-1).
[0037] In the construction method of the embodiment of the present invention, in order to compare and study the reactivity of different crystal planes of the Si substrate, the constructed Si substrate can also be subjected to a crystal cutting operation, including but not limited to the (100) plane, (110) plane, and (111) plane.

When performing energy minimization calculations, the convergence value in the in command file cannot be set too large, and the convergence value is ≤10 -10 .
[0042] According to the method for constructing a microscopic reaction model of a polysilicon efficient deposition process according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step f, the unit cell layer at the bottom is the unit cell layer away from the gas end. In the construction method of the embodiment of the present invention, with respect to the microscopic existence state of the silicon rod bulk phase atoms, all atoms in the unit cell layer at the bottom of the Si substrate are fixed by setting the speed and force of all atoms in the unit cell layer to zero, thereby completing the construction of the chemical reaction model.

[0052] Comparative Example 1
[0053] The method is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that after the construction of the Si substrate is completed, the chemical bonds of the Si atoms suspended in the bottom atomic layer of the Si substrate are saturated by adding H atoms. Cl atoms are placed in the outermost layer to form a Si(100)-2×1-Cl structure.
[0054] The model constructed in Comparative Example 1 realizes the simulation study of the structure and energy changes of a single Si atom when it is adsorbed on the Si(100)-2×1-Cl surface. However, this model constructed based on the quantitative calculation method is only suitable for simulating the deposition behavior of a single Si atom on the surface of a Si substrate, and cannot be used to study the regular deposition behavior and the bonding and breaking state of chemical bonds exhibited when more Si atoms are deposited on the surface of a Si substrate at the same time.
[0055] Comparative Example 2
[0056] The method is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that Si atomic clusters are used to simulate the silicon substrate (Si base).
[0057] The reaction model constructed in Comparative Example 2, on the one hand, uses a cluster model containing very few atoms, cannot simulate the continuous Si rod surface, and cannot capture the long-range effect of the crystal structure. The present invention constructs a Si substrate by periodically repeating Si unit cells, thereby realizing the simulation of a continuous and uninterrupted Si rod surface. On the other hand, the model requires presetting of active sites and reaction paths, and then determines the main reaction channel of the reaction through calculations of transition states and other aspects. The chemical reaction information obtained by simulation calculation depends on the preset active sites and reaction paths, and it is impossible to obtain complete chemical reaction information.
