Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor processing technology, and in particular to a wafer front coating source device. Background Technology

[0002] Diffusion processing in wafer fabrication involves doping the surface of a silicon wafer with trivalent or pentavalent elements to alter its conductivity and resistivity. Current methods for applying this type of diffusion source involve dripping the diffusion source solution onto the wafer surface and then slowly rotating the wafer. During rotation, the operator uses a scraper to apply the diffusion source to the front side of the wafer. This method is inefficient, resulting in poor flatness on the front side after coating and drying, which significantly impacts the wafer's surface polishing process. Of course, existing methods also use centrifugation for source coating. In this method, the diffusion source solution is dropped onto the wafer surface and then spread evenly on the wafer surface by high-speed rotation. However, it has been found that a large amount of source solution is thrown out during use, resulting in significant waste. Furthermore, the smoothness of the diffusion coating cannot be guaranteed during the source coating operation, and this method is not convenient when the viscosity of the source solution is low. Summary of the Invention

The device employs a slow coating method, which is convenient even when the viscosity of the source solution is low, thus reducing source solution waste.

This method significantly improves the accuracy of source liquid coating and avoids the phenomenon of missed coating. The scraping mechanism can move from the inside to the outside during source coating, and evenly coats the source liquid on the wafer surface during movement, which has strong practicality.

[0019] Figure 7 A cross-sectional view at BB is shown.

[0020] Figure 8 A magnified view of point C is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0021] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a wafer front-side coating source apparatus includes a support frame 1, a rotating mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a protective cover 6, a straightening mechanism 4, and a coating mechanism 5. The support frame 1 includes a base plate 11 with four downwardly extending support legs 10. The rotating mechanism 2, mounted on the support frame 1, includes a rotating component and a fixing component. The rotating component drives the fixing component to rotate, and the fixing component is used to place and fix the wafer. The lifting mechanism 3, mounted on the rotating mechanism 2, is used to adjust the height of the fixing component. The protective cover 6, mounted on the support frame 1, covers the outside of the fixing component when it is at its lowest point. The straightening mechanism 4, at least one pair, is mounted on the protective cover 6 and rotates the wafer around its geometric center when it rotates. The coating mechanism 5, mounted on the protective cover 6, is used for coating the diffusion source.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the fixed component upward, and a robotic arm located on one side of the device transfers the wafer onto the fixed component. Then, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the wafer downward until it enters the protective cover 6. The wafer is then corrected by the correction mechanism 4, so that the center of rotation of the rotating component coincides with the center of the wafer. Next, the source liquid is dripped onto the center of the front side of the wafer by the automatic liquid injection system. Then, the scraping mechanism 5 moves inward, with its inner end positioned at the dripping source liquid. The rotating component drives the wafer to rotate slowly, while the inner end of the scraping mechanism 5 moves in a straight line, uniformly coating the front side of the wafer with the source liquid during the linear motion. Of course, to improve the uniformity of the source liquid coating, multiple coating operations can be performed by the scraping mechanism 5, and the thickness of the source liquid coating can be adjusted during the coating process. The above operation method basically realizes the automatic operation of the source liquid coating, while ensuring the uniformity of the source liquid coating and reducing the waste of source liquid.

[0023] The rotating component includes a motor fixing plate 20 mounted on one side of the base plate 11. A rotating motor 21 is mounted on the motor fixing plate 20. The output shaft of the rotating motor 21 is connected to a drive wheel 22. A transmission belt 23 is sleeved on the drive wheel 22. A driven ring 24 is provided at the other end of the transmission belt 23. Mounting seats 26 are mounted in a circular array around the geometric center of the base plate 11. A lower ring 25 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting seat 26. Rotating recesses 250 are mounted in a circular array on the lower ring 25. The rotating recesses 250 are sleeved on the inner side of the driven ring 24. An upper ring 251 is mounted on the upper end of the rotating recesses 250. Multiple balls are rotatably provided on the inner wall of the rotating recesses 250. The balls are all tangent to the outer wall of the driven ring 24. A pair of symmetrically arranged connecting cylinders 260 extend upward from the driven ring 24. A connecting rod 27 passes through each of the connecting cylinders 260. In this embodiment, during operation, the rotating motor 21 starts, driving the drive wheel 22 to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 22 drives the driven ring 24 to rotate via the transmission belt 23. The rotation of the driven ring 24 then drives the fixed component to rotate via a pair of symmetrically arranged connecting cylinders 260. The connecting cylinders 260, the main component driving the rotation of the fixed component, are cylindrical to facilitate the lifting operation of the fixed component. The rotating recess 250 serves to limit the rotation of the driven ring 24. To ensure rotational stability and reduce friction during rotation, multiple ball bearings are provided on the outer wall of the rotating recess 250, thereby improving the flexibility and stability of the driven ring 24's rotation. The upper ring 251 and lower ring 25 further enhance the stability of the rotating recess 250's fixed position, thus improving overall rotational stability.

[0024] The fixing component includes a suction cup 28 installed on the upper end of the connecting rod 27. The suction cup 28 has a circular structure and is composed of two identical disc-shaped structures spliced ​​together. The suction cup 28 has multiple straight holes 280 along its radial direction. A hollow groove is provided at the geometric center of the suction cup 28. The inner end of the straight holes 280 is connected to the hollow groove. Each straight hole 280 has a suction eye 281 extending upwards. An outer ring groove is formed on the outer periphery of the suction cup 28. An arc-shaped ring groove 282 is formed on the arc wall of the outer ring groove. Each straight hole 280 is connected to the arc-shaped ring groove 282. A pair of outer arc plates 283 are fitted on the outer periphery of the suction cup 28. The outer arc plates 283 are fitted into the outer ring groove. The inner periphery of the outer arc plates 283 is formed with an outer arc ring groove. A connecting tube 284 is provided on one of the outer arc plates 283. Lugs 285 are provided at both ends of the outer arc plates 283. The connecting tube 284 is connected to the outer arc ring groove. In this embodiment, the wafer is fixed by negative pressure suction. During operation, the suction device evacuates the suction cup 28 through the connecting pipe 284, and the suction holes 281 are used to suction and fix the wafer. To ensure the stability of suction, the suction holes 281 are evenly distributed on the suction cup 28. The straight holes 280 provide channels for gas extraction for the multiple suction holes 281. The cavity formed by the arc-shaped annular groove 282 and the outer arc annular groove allows the straight holes 280 to be connected together, so that the connecting pipe 284 and the suction holes 281 remain connected during rotation. The outer annular groove facilitates the sealing connection between the outer arc plate 283 and the suction cup 28.

[0025] The lifting mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 30 installed on the lower wall of the base plate 11. The mounting plate 30 is equipped with a lifting motor 31. The output shaft of the lifting motor 31 is connected to a drive bevel gear 32. The drive bevel gear 32 meshes with a driven bevel gear 33. The driven bevel gear 33 is connected to a lifting screw 34. The lifting screw 34 is equipped with a lifting column 35. The outer wall of the lifting column 35 is provided with multiple guide grooves 350. The lifting column 35 is fitted with a guide sleeve 36. Each side wall of the guide sleeve 36 is equipped with a folded fixing foot 37. The lower end of the folded fixing foot 37 is installed on an upper ring 251. The upper end of the lifting column 35 is equipped with a lower plate 351. The upper end of the lower plate 351 is equipped with a fixing ring 352. The fixing ring 352 is equipped with a rotating column 353. The upper end of the rotating column 353 is equipped with a fixed lower plate 354. The fixed lower plate 354 is installed on the lower wall of the suction cup 28. In this embodiment, when adjusting the height of the fixed component, namely the suction cup 28, the lifting motor 31 drives the lifting screw 34 to rotate, and the rotation of the lifting screw 34 drives the lifting column 35 to move along the direction of the guide sleeve 36. The lifting column 35's lifting and lowering movement causes the suction cup 28 to move up and down. In order to ensure the stability of the guide, a guide groove 350 is opened on the outer wall of the lifting column 35, and a guide protrusion is correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the guide sleeve 36, and the guide protrusion passes through the guide groove 350. Since the lifting screw 34 is used to drive the adjustment of the height of the suction cup 28 in this embodiment, the adjustment accuracy and stability after adjustment are improved. The fixed ring 352 and the rotating column 353 set at the upper end of the lifting column 35 play a guiding role and ensure the stability of the rotation when the suction cup 28 rotates. Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the rotation, a bearing is set in the fixed ring 352 in actual operation, and the rotating column 353 is set on the bearing. When the suction cup 28 rotates, the connecting cylinder 260 drives the connecting rod 27 to rotate around the axis of the suction cup 28. This design makes it convenient to adjust the height of the suction cup 28.

[0026] The protective cover 6 includes four support rods 65 installed on the base plate 11. A lower liner ring 60 is installed at the upper end of the support rods 65. The inner circumference of the lower liner ring 60 is provided with an upwardly extending protruding edge. The lower liner ring 60 has a conical structure and its outer circumference is inclined downward. An outer baffle plate 61 is provided on the outer circumference of the lower liner ring 60. A pair of concave sleeves 62 are provided on the inner wall of the outer baffle plate 61. Each pair of lugs 285 passes through the same concave sleeve 62.

An arc baffle 64 is installed on the outer end of the connecting pipe 284. L-shaped limiting plates 63 are fitted on both sides of the arc baffle 64. The L-shaped limiting plates 63 are all provided on the outer baffle plate 61. The length of the arc baffle 64 is longer than the height of the outer baffle plate 61. The outer baffle plate 61 in the protective cover 6 provided in this embodiment can prevent the source liquid from splashing during the coating process, thereby causing pollution to the operating environment. The lower liner ring 60 with a conical structure facilitates the collection of splashed source liquid. In order to prevent the collected source liquid from flowing out from the inner ring of the lower liner ring 60, the lower liner ring 60 is not only set as a conical structure, but also has an upper protruding edge on the inner circumference. The concave sleeve 62 therein plays a limiting role for the lug 285, preventing the outer arc plate 283 from moving when the suction cup 28 rotates, thereby avoiding affecting the connection effect between the connecting pipe 284 and the outer arc plate 283. Meanwhile, a U-shaped hole is provided to facilitate the extension of the connecting pipe 284 from the outer baffle plate 61. In order to prevent the source liquid from flying out of the U-shaped hole during the application of the source liquid, an arc-shaped baffle 64 is provided. In order to improve the sealing effect, L-shaped limiting plates 63 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped baffle 64. In order to prevent the source liquid from flowing out when the suction cup 28 moves up and down, the length of the arc-shaped baffle 64 is set to be greater than the height of the outer baffle plate 61.

[0027] The straightening mechanism 4 includes an extended connecting plate 40 mounted on the outer wall of the outer baffle plate 61. A drive bearing seat 41 is mounted on the outer end of the extended connecting plate 40, and a straightening motor 42 is mounted on the drive bearing seat 41. The output shaft of the straightening motor 42 is connected to a straightening lead screw 43. A straightening internal thread post 44 is provided on the straightening lead screw 43, and a concave part 45 is provided on the inner end of the straightening internal thread post 44. The concave part 45 passes through the outer baffle plate 61, and a straightening wheel 46 is provided on the inner end of the concave part 45. In this embodiment, during source liquid coating, the position of the straightening wheel 46 is adjusted by moving the straightening internal thread post 44 driven by the straightening lead screw 43. This adjustment method has strong stability and high adjustment accuracy. By adjusting, the outer wall of the straightening wheel 46 is tangent to the outer wall of the wafer, ensuring that the wafer can rotate stably around its center, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of missed coating during source liquid coating.

[0028] The scraping mechanism 5 includes an extended base plate 50 installed on the outer baffle plate 61. An adjustment hole 500 is provided on the extended base plate 50. A pair of inner top bearing seats 51 are installed on the upper wall of the extended base plate 50. An inner top motor 52 is installed on the inner top bearing seat 51 located at the outer end.

[0030] The first part of the components in this embodiment is mainly for overall adjustment to avoid affecting the wafer placement during wafer placement operations. The second part of the components is mainly for driving the scraper 573 to move from the inside out during the scraping process, and realizing the coating operation of the source liquid during the movement. At the same time, in order to facilitate the control of the source liquid coating thickness, a corresponding scraping cylinder 572 is set. The height of the scraper 573 is controlled by the scraping cylinder 572 to adjust the source liquid thickness. The scraper 573 can be set as an L-shaped structure. This structure can drive the source liquid to move from the inside out during the scraping process, and realize the coating operation of the source liquid during the movement.
