Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and in particular to a device for forming a composite corrosion-resistant coating, a method for forming a composite corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of a component body, a semiconductor component, and a plasma processing device. Background Art
[0002] In the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, plasma etching is a key process for processing wafers into designed patterns.
[0003] In a typical plasma etching process, process gases (such as CF4 and O2) are excited by radio frequency (RF) to form plasma. After passing through the electric field (capacitive coupling or inductive coupling) between the upper and lower electrodes, the plasma physically bombards the wafer surface and chemically reacts, etching a wafer with a specific structure.
[0004] For components in the harsh corrosive environment of the plasma etching chamber, they need to have a very high resistance to plasma corrosion. To this end, a patent proposes coating the surface of the internal components of the plasma etching chamber with a corrosion-resistant coating such as an yttrium-containing coating to protect the workpiece and maintain the stability of the plasma etching environment. With the continuous advancement of high-end semiconductor processes (below 10nm), the plasma environment used in the plasma etching process has become more complex. The yttrium-containing coating with a single oxide component has shown an optimization trend towards a composite yttrium-containing coating to adapt to the requirements of the more harsh plasma etching environment for corrosion-resistant coatings.
[0005] However, for composite corrosion-resistant coatings, their own metastability determines the existence of easy decomposition characteristics, making it very difficult to accurately control the uniformity of their composition during the synthesis of composite corrosion-resistant coatings.
[0006] In response to the above needs, how to accurately control the uniformity of each component of the composite corrosion-resistant coating, improve the stability of the corrosion-resistant coating, and further maintain the stability of the etching chamber environment has become an important development direction for further improving the application of plasma etching in advanced processes.

[0033] As described in the background art, there is an urgent need to prepare a composite corrosion-resistant coating with high composition uniformity on the surface of a component body to meet the requirements of advanced manufacturing processes. To this end, the present invention is dedicated to providing an apparatus for forming a composite corrosion-resistant coating, a method for forming a composite corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of a component body, a semiconductor component, and a plasma processing device, which are described in detail below:
[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a plasma processing device according to the present invention.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The plasma processing apparatus includes: a reaction chamber 100, wherein the reaction chamber 100 is a plasma environment, wherein semiconductor components and the inner wall of the reaction chamber 100 are exposed to the plasma environment, and the plasma includes at least one of F-containing plasma, Cl-containing plasma, H-containing plasma, or O-containing plasma.
[0036] The plasma processing apparatus further includes a base 101, with an electrostatic chuck 103 disposed above the base 101. Electrodes (not shown) are disposed within the electrostatic chuck 103 and are electrically connected to a DC power supply (DC) for generating an electrostatic force to secure a substrate W to be processed. The plasma is used to process the substrate W. Because plasma is highly corrosive, a corrosion-resistant coating is applied to the surface of semiconductor components to prevent corrosion.
[0037] In this embodiment, the plasma processing device is a capacitively coupled plasma reaction device. Accordingly, the semiconductor components exposed to the plasma environment include: a shower head 102, an upper grounding ring 104, a moving ring, a gas distribution plate 105, a gas buffer plate, an electrostatic suction cup assembly 103, a lower grounding ring 106, a cover ring 107, a focusing ring 108, an insulating ring, and at least one of a plasma confinement device 109.
[0038] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of another plasma processing device of the present invention.
[0039] In this embodiment, the plasma reaction device is an inductively coupled plasma reaction device. Accordingly, the semiconductor components exposed to the plasma environment include: a ceramic plate, an inner sleeve 200, a gas nozzle 201, a gas distribution plate, a gas pipe flange, an electrostatic suction cup assembly 202, a cover ring 203, a focusing ring 204, an insulating ring and at least one of a plasma confinement device 205.
[0040] In other embodiments, the plasma processing device may also be a plasma cleaning device.
[0041] With the continuous advancement of high-end semiconductor processes (below 10nm), the plasma environment used in the plasma etching process has become more complex. The yttrium-containing coating with a single oxide component has shown a trend towards optimization of a composite corrosion-resistant coating to adapt to the requirements of the more harsh plasma etching environment for corrosion-resistant coatings.
[0042] The following is a detailed description of the device for forming the composite corrosion-resistant coating:
[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a device for forming a composite corrosion-resistant coating according to the present invention.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 , used to form a composite corrosion-resistant coating, including: a vacuum chamber 300; a first target material 301a and a second target material 301b, located in the vacuum chamber 300; a component body 400, located in the vacuum chamber 300, and arranged opposite to the first target material 301a and the second target material 301b; a first excitation device, used to excite the first target material atoms in the first target material 301a; a second excitation device, used to excite the second target material atoms in the second target material 301b, and the first target material atoms and the second target material atoms form a composite corrosion-resistant coating 401 on the surface of the component body; a first auxiliary monitor 303a, located in the vacuum chamber 300, and used to monitor the characteristic signal of the first target material 301a; a second ...b, used to monitor the characteristic signal of the first target material 301b; a first auxiliary monitor 303a, used to monitor the characteristic signal of the first target material 301a; a second auxiliary monitor 303b, used to monitor the characteristic signal of the first target material 301b. The auxiliary monitor 303b is located in the vacuum chamber 300 and is used to monitor the characteristic signal of the second target material 303b; the rate monitor 302 is located in the vacuum chamber 300 and is used to monitor the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating 401. When the formation rate deviates from the target rate, the deviation signal is fed back to the first auxiliary monitor 303a and the second auxiliary monitor 303b. The first auxiliary monitor 303a and the second auxiliary monitor 303b independently control the rate of their respective targets according to the strength changes of the characteristic signals of the first target material 301a and the second target material 301b, so as to control the stability of the rate during the formation of the composite corrosion-resistant coating 401 and achieve the uniformity of each component in the composite coating.
[0045] The first target material 301a excites the atoms in the first target material 301a under the action of the first excitation device, and the second target material 301b excites the atoms in the second target material 301b under the action of the second excitation device. The atoms of the first target material 301a and the atoms of the second target material 301b form a composite corrosion-resistant coating 401 on the surface of the component body 401.
[0046] After being excited, the target material emits certain characteristic signals into the environment, such as a thermal radiation spectrum. The thermal radiation spectrum is related to the material of each target material, and different materials have different thermal radiation spectra. Since the first target material 301a and the second target material 301b are made of different materials, the thermal radiation spectra emitted by the first target material 301a and the second target material 301b after being excited are different. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 1 represents a schematic diagram of the thermal radiation spectrum and wavelength of the first target material 301a, and 2 represents a schematic diagram of the thermal radiation spectrum and wavelength of the second target material 301b. Here, yttrium oxide is used as the first target material and yttrium fluoride is used as the second target material for explanation. A spectrometer can be used to measure the radiation intensity of each band, and a control characteristic signal is selected as the control signal, such as: the strongest peak intensity, the integrated intensity or the characteristic wavelength light power.
[0047] The characteristic wavelength optical power is selected as the control signal for detailed description as follows.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 5 , (a) represents a schematic diagram of the relationship between the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating and time; (b) represents a schematic diagram of the relationship between the characteristic wavelength light power and time of the first target material when the thermal radiation spectrum emitted after the first target material is excited is the characteristic wavelength light power; (c) represents a schematic diagram of the relationship between the characteristic wavelength light power and time of the second target material when the thermal radiation spectrum emitted after the second target material is excited is the characteristic wavelength light power.
[0049] from Figure 5 It can be seen from the figure that: the rate monitor monitors that the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating decreases within the time t1~t2, and by comparing with the target rate, the deviation signal is fed back to the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor. The first auxiliary monitor monitors that the characteristic wavelength light power of the first target material decreases within the time t1~t2, and the second auxiliary monitor monitors that the characteristic wavelength light power of the second target material increases within the time t1~t2. The first auxiliary monitor increases the rate of the first target material and reduces the rate of the second target material according to the feedback information of the characteristic wavelength light power of the first target material to maintain the stability of the overall rate and further improve the uniformity of each component of the composite corrosion-resistant coating.
[0050] Figure 5The example of the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating decreasing during the time period t1 to t2, the first auxiliary monitor detecting that the characteristic wavelength optical power of the first target decreases during the time period t1 to t2, and the second auxiliary monitor detecting that the characteristic wavelength optical power of the second target increases during the time period t1 to t2 is used for illustration, is actually not limited to this. As long as the rate monitor monitors the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating, when the formation rate deviates from the target rate, the deviation signal is fed back to the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor, and the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor independently control the rate of each target according to the strength changes of the characteristic signals of the first target and the second target, respectively, the uniformity of the components in the composite corrosion-resistant coating can be improved. The uniformity of the components in the composite corrosion-resistant coating improves the stability of the composite corrosion-resistant coating in a plasma environment and the stability of the plasma etching performance. In other words, when the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating decreases within the time period t1 to t2, the first auxiliary monitor detects that the characteristic wavelength optical power of the first target decreases within the time period t1 to t2, and the second auxiliary monitor detects that the characteristic wavelength optical power of the second target increases within the time period t1 to t2. If there is no first auxiliary detector and the second auxiliary detector, and control is performed only based on the total rate, it will be mistakenly judged that the rates of the two targets need to be increased at the same time, which actually causes the composition of the second target in the composite corrosion-resistant coating to fluctuate greatly. The effect of using the present invention is that the rate of each target can be independently controlled according to the actual changes of each target, maintaining the uniformity of the composition of each target in the composite corrosion-resistant coating.
[0051] In addition to the thermal radiation spectrum, the temperature of the target material itself will also change after being excited. Generally, the higher the temperature, the greater the rate of the target material. Therefore, the temperature of each target material can be used as an auxiliary detection signal. During the formation process of the composite corrosion-resistant coating, an infrared thermometer is used to monitor the first target material and the second target material in real time.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 6 , (d) represents a schematic diagram of the relationship between the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating and time; (e) represents a schematic diagram of the relationship between the temperature and time after the first target material is excited; (f) represents a schematic diagram of the relationship between the temperature and time after the second target material is excited.
[0053] from Figure 6It can be seen from the figure that the rate monitor detects that the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating decreases within the time t1 to t2. By comparing with the target rate, the deviation signal is fed back to the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor. The first auxiliary monitor detects that the temperature of the first target material decreases within the time t1 to t2, and the second auxiliary monitor detects that the temperature of the second target material increases within the time t1 to t2. Then, the first auxiliary monitor increases the rate of the first target material and reduces the rate of the second target material according to the temperature information of the first target material to maintain the stability of the overall rate and further control the uniformity of the components of the composite coating.
[0054] Figure 6 This example illustrates a situation where the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating decreases during time period t1-t2, the first auxiliary monitor detects a decrease in the temperature of the first target during time period t1-t2, and the second auxiliary monitor detects an increase in the temperature of the second target during time period t1-t2. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. As long as the rate monitor monitors the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating, and when the formation rate deviates from the target rate, a deviation signal is fed back to the first and second auxiliary monitors. The first and second auxiliary monitors independently control the composition of the composite corrosion-resistant coating based on the temperature fluctuations of the first and second targets, respectively, thereby improving the compositional uniformity of the composite corrosion-resistant coating. This improved compositional uniformity in the composite corrosion-resistant coating improves both the stability of the composite corrosion-resistant coating's resistance to plasma corrosion in a plasma environment and the stability of its plasma etching performance. Without the first and second auxiliary monitors, control based solely on the total rate could lead to an incorrect determination that the rates of both targets need to be increased simultaneously, resulting in significant fluctuations in the composition of the second target in the composite corrosion-resistant coating. The effect of using the present invention is that the rate of each target material can be independently controlled according to the actual change of each target material, thereby maintaining the uniformity of the components of each target material in the composite coating.
[0055] Figure 7 The present invention is a process flow chart of forming the composite corrosion-resistant coating using the device for forming the composite corrosion-resistant coating.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 7Step S1: providing the above-mentioned device for forming a composite corrosion-resistant coating; step S2: using a first excitation device to excite first target material atoms in a first target material, and using a second excitation device to excite second target material atoms in a second target material, the first target material atoms and the second target material atoms form a composite corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of the component body; step S3: using a rate monitor to monitor the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating, when the formation rate deviates from the target rate, the deviation signal is fed back to the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor, the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor independently control the rate of each target material according to the strength changes of the characteristic signals of the first target material and the second target material, so as to control the stability of the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating.
[0057] The rate monitor includes a quartz crystal oscillator. During the process of forming a composite corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of the component body using the first excitation device and the second excitation device, a composite corrosion-resistant coating is also formed on the surface of the quartz crystal oscillator. As the thickness of the composite corrosion-resistant coating changes, the resonant frequency of the quartz crystal oscillator shifts. Therefore, by measuring changes in the resonant frequency of the quartz crystal oscillator, changes in the rate of formation of the composite corrosion-resistant coating can be reflected, thereby enabling real-time monitoring of the rate of formation of the composite corrosion-resistant coating.
[0058] In one embodiment, the rate ratio of the first target material to the second target material is 10:1. Although the rate of the first target material is significantly different from that of the second target material, the device for forming the composite corrosion-resistant coating is provided with a first auxiliary monitor and a second auxiliary monitor. When the rate monitor detects that the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating deviates from the target rate, the deviation signal is fed back to the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor. The first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor independently control the adjustment deviation amount of each target material rate according to the strength changes of the characteristic signals of the first target material and the second target material, respectively, to quickly control the stability of the formation rate of the composite corrosion-resistant coating, thereby further improving the uniformity of the components in the composite corrosion-resistant coating. Figure 8 This is a schematic structural diagram of a semiconductor component of the present invention.

Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
