Since there is no gap in the coupling ring above the conductive layer and the breakdown resistance is good, it is not easy for discharge to occur between the conductive layer and the coupling ring above the conductive layer. Although there is a gap between the coupling ring below the conductive layer and the base, because the two are at the same potential, arc discharge is not easy to occur between the coupling ring and the base.

[0033] As described in the background technology, arc discharge is prone to occur between the existing coupling ring and the base. In order to solve the technical problem, the technical solution of the present invention provides a plasma processing device, a lower electrode assembly and a method for forming the same. The plasma processing device can reduce the arc discharge between the coupling ring and the base.
[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a plasma processing device of the present invention.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 The plasma processing device 1 includes: a reaction chamber 100; a base 101, located in the reaction chamber 100; an electrostatic chuck 102, located above the base 101, for adsorbing a substrate W to be processed; an insulating window 107, located at the top of the reaction chamber 100; and an inductor 108, located above the insulating window 107.
[0037] In this embodiment, the plasma processing device 1 is an inductively coupled plasma reaction device (ICP), and the plasma processing device 1 further includes: a radio frequency power source 109, which applies a radio frequency voltage to the inductor 108 through a radio frequency matching network; and a bias radio frequency power source 110, which is electrically connected to the base 101. A gas injection port (not shown in the figure) is provided at one end of the side wall of the reaction chamber 100 close to the insulating window 107. In other embodiments, a gas injection port can also be provided in the central area of the insulating window 107. The gas injection port is used to inject the reaction gas into the reaction chamber 100. The radio frequency power of the radio frequency power source 109 drives the inductor 108 to generate a strong high-frequency alternating magnetic field, so that the low-pressure reaction gas in the reaction chamber 100 is ionized to generate plasma. Plasma contains a large number of active particles such as electrons, ions, excited atoms, molecules and free radicals. The above active particles can undergo various physical and chemical reactions with the surface of the substrate W to be processed, so that the morphology of the surface of the substrate W to be processed changes, that is, the etching process is completed. The bias RF power source 110 applies a bias RF voltage to the base through a RF matching network to control the bombardment direction of charged particles in the plasma.
[0038] In addition, the plasma processing device 1 further includes: an equipment plate 105, surrounding the base 101, the equipment plate 105 includes a bottom plate and extension plates extending upward from both ends of the bottom plate, the bottom plate is located below the base 101, and the extension plate is located below the coupling ring 104. The extension plate has a temperature control channel in it, which is used to control the temperature of the focus ring 103.
[0039] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of another plasma processing device of the present invention.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 The plasma processing device 2 includes: a reaction chamber 200; a base 201, located at the bottom of the reaction chamber 200; an electrostatic chuck 202, located above the base 201, used to adsorb the substrate W to be processed; a mounting substrate 206, located at the top of the reaction chamber 200; a gas shower head 207, located below the mounting substrate 206 and arranged opposite to the base 201; a gas source 205, connected to the gas shower head 207, used to transport reaction gas into the reaction chamber 200.
[0041] In this embodiment, the plasma processing device 2 is a capacitively coupled plasma reaction device (CCP), wherein the gas shower head 207 is used as an upper electrode, the base 201 is used as a lower electrode, and a reaction region is formed between the upper electrode and the lower electrode. In addition, the plasma processing device 2 further includes: a radio frequency power source electrically connected to the gas shower head 207 or the base 201; and a bias radio frequency power source electrically connected to the base 201. Here, the radio frequency power source and the bias radio frequency power source are both connected to the base 201 as an example for description.
[0042] The RF power source is applied to one of the upper electrode or the lower electrode through a matching network, and a RF electric field is generated between the upper electrode and the lower electrode to dissociate the reaction gas into plasma. The plasma contains a large number of active particles such as electrons, ions, excited atoms, molecules and free radicals. The above active particles can undergo various physical and chemical reactions with the surface of the substrate W to be processed, so that the morphology of the surface of the substrate W to be processed changes, that is, the etching process is completed. An exhaust pump (not shown in the figure) is also provided below the vacuum reaction chamber 100 to discharge the reaction by-products from the reaction chamber 100 to maintain the vacuum environment of the reaction chamber 100.
[0043] The density distribution of the plasma in the plasma processing device is proportional to the etching rate of the substrate W to be processed. The higher the density of the plasma, the higher the etching rate, and the lower the density of the plasma, the lower the etching rate. Due to the effect of the plasma gas flow, the plasma density in the central area of the substrate to be processed decreases, and the plasma density in the edge part of the substrate to be processed increases, resulting in a decrease in the etching rate in the central area of the surface of the substrate to be processed and an increase in the etching rate in the edge part, resulting in an uneven etching rate of the substrate to be processed.
[0044] To solve the above problems, Figure 1 Taking an example for schematic illustration, a focusing ring 103 is arranged on the periphery of the substrate W to be processed, which is equivalent to expanding the radius of the substrate W to be processed outward, so that plasma with the same conditions as those above the substrate W to be processed is generated above the focusing ring 103, and the plasma distribution edge above the substrate W to be processed is effectively extended to the outer wall of the focusing ring 103, thereby increasing the distribution range of the plasma, broadening the density distribution curve of the plasma on the surface of the substrate W to be processed, and making the density distribution of the plasma on the substrate W to be processed tend to be flat, so that the plasma density distribution on the substrate W to be processed is more uniform, which is beneficial to ensure the uniformity of the etching process in the edge area and the center area.
[0045] The coupling ring 104 is provided between the focus ring 103 and the base 101 to fill the gap between the focus ring 103 and the base 101 and prevent arc discharge from occurring between the focus ring 103 and the base 101 .
[0046] In addition, as the integration of semiconductor devices continues to increase, the etching size of semiconductor devices is getting smaller and smaller, which requires that the power of the applied RF power source and the power of the bias power source are higher. The power of the applied RF power source and the power of the bias power source are relatively high. Specifically, the power range of the RF power source is greater than 4000 watts; the power of the bias RF power source is greater than 30000 watts, which makes it easy for arc discharge to occur between the base 101 and the coupling ring 104. The present invention sets a conductive layer 106 in the coupling ring 104, and the conductive layer 106 is electrically connected to the base 101 to reduce the arc discharge between the coupling ring 104 and the base 101, as described in detail as follows:
[0047] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of area A in the middle.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the base 101 (see Figure 1 ) includes a platform portion 101b and a Figure 3 ) The outer step portion 101a (see Figure 3), the coupling ring 104 includes a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion, the first coupling portion is opposite to the side wall of the platform portion 101b, and the second coupling portion is opposite to the surface of the step portion 101a.
[0049] The base 101 is made of aluminum alloy, and the coupling ring 104 is made of dielectric material, such as ceramic or quartz, specifically aluminum oxide or yttrium oxide. On the one hand, in order to allow thermal expansion and contraction of the coupling ring 104 and the base 101, there is a gap between the coupling ring 104 and the base 101; on the other hand, it is difficult to achieve absolute tight fit between the coupling ring 104 and the base 101, so there is a gap between the coupling ring 104 and the base 101.
[0050] In addition, the potential of the base 101 is different from the potential of the coupling ring 104. Although the potentials of the base 101 and the coupling ring 104 are different, the coupling ring 104 is provided with a conductive layer 106 (see Figure 1 ), and the conductive layer 106 is electrically connected to the base 101 through the wire 150, so that the potential of the conductive layer 106 is equal to the potential of the base 101, then the potential difference between the base 101 and the coupling ring 104 is transferred to the potential difference between the conductive layer 106 and the top of the coupling ring 104 above the conductive layer 106. Since the conductive layer 106 is located in the coupling ring 104, although there is a potential difference between the conductive layer 106 and the top of the coupling ring 104, there is no gap in the coupling ring 104 above the conductive layer 106 and the breakdown resistance is good, so it is not easy for arc discharge to occur between the conductive layer 106 and the coupling ring 104. In addition, although there is a gap between the base 101 and the conductive layer 106, the potential difference between the base 101 and the conductive layer 106 is equal, so it is not easy for arc discharge to occur between the base 101 and the conductive layer 106.
[0051] In this embodiment, the base 101 (see Figure 1 ) includes a platform portion 101b and a Figure 3 ) The outer step portion 101a (see Figure 3 ), the coupling ring 104 includes a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion, the first coupling portion is opposite to the side wall of the platform portion 101b, the second coupling portion is opposite to the surface of the step portion 101a, the first coupling portion is provided with a first conductive layer 106b, the second coupling portion is provided in the second conductive layer 106a, and the conductive layer 106 includes a first conductive layer 106b and a second conductive layer 106a. The ends of the first conductive layer 106b and the second conductive layer 106a may be connected or separated from each other.
[0052] In other embodiments, the first conductive layer is disposed only in the first coupling portion, or the second conductive layer is disposed only in the second coupling portion.
[0053] In other embodiments, the base is a plate structure, the base has no steps, the coupling ring is located below the focusing ring, and the coupling ring is disposed inside the conductive layer.
[0054] In one embodiment, the conductive layer 106 is made of metal, such as copper or nickel. The advantage of using metal as the conductive layer 106 is that since both the conductive layer 106 and the subsequent wires are made of metal, it is easier to weld the two.
[0055] In another embodiment, the conductive layer 106 is made of carbon fiber, semiconductor material, or graphite layer.
[0056] In another embodiment, the material of the conductive layer is the same as that of the coupling ring, but the doped ions in the conductive layer have different valences from those in the coupling ring material, and the doped ions include at least one of metal ions and inorganic ions, the metal ions include nickel ions or magnesium ions; the inorganic ions include carbon ions, nitrogen ions or silicon ions. Since the valence of the doped ions is different from that of the coupling ring material, the doped ions make the coupling ring position where they are located have better conductivity and can be used as the conductive layer.
[0057] The distance from the top surface of the conductive layer 106 to the top surface of the coupling ring 104 is greater than 100 microns and less than the thickness of the coupling ring 104, so that the conductive layer 106 can not only be wrapped by the coupling ring 104, but also the thickness of the coupling ring 104 covered above the conductive layer 106 is not too thin, ensuring that the top of the coupling ring 104 is not easily penetrated.
[0058] The following is a detailed description of the method for forming the lower electrode assembly:
[0059] Figure 4 It is a process flow chart of the method for forming the lower electrode assembly of the present invention.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 Step S1: providing a base, the base is used to support the substrate to be processed, a focusing ring is arranged on the periphery of the base, and a coupling ring is arranged under the focusing ring; Step S2: arranging a conductive layer in the coupling ring, the conductive layer is electrically connected to the base through a wire.
[0061] How to form the conductive layer is described in detail as follows:
[0062] Figures 5 to 7 It is a structural schematic diagram of each step of forming the lower electrode assembly of the present invention.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 5 , providing a first coupling member 300, wherein the first coupling member 300 includes a surface B to be processed; and a mask layer 301 is arranged around the surface B to be processed.
[0064] The material of the first coupling member 300 is a dielectric material, such as ceramic or quartz, specifically aluminum oxide or yttrium oxide. The first coupling member 300 and the subsequent second coupling member form the coupling ring.
[0065] The mask layer 301 has a mask opening therein, and the mask opening exposes the central area of the surface to be processed B, and the mask opening is used to define the position of the subsequent conductive layer. The mask layer 301 is located at the periphery of the surface to be processed B, so that the conductive layer formed subsequently does not cover the periphery of the first coupling member 300 but is located at the central area, so that the conductive layer can be completely surrounded and not exposed, which is conducive to preventing metal contamination.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 6 , using the mask layer 301 as a mask, the conductive layer 302 is formed.
[0067] In one embodiment, the formation process of the conductive layer 302 is an electrochemical process, and the electrochemical process includes: brushing silver paste on the surface to be processed and baking to form a silver layer; the silver layer is used as an electrode to form the conductive layer by electroplating.
[0068] In another embodiment, the conductive layer 302 is formed by a sputtering process, and the conductive layer 302 is formed in the central area of the surface B to be processed by the sputtering process.
[0069] Please refer to Figure 7 After forming the conductive layer 302 , the mask layer 301 is removed; after removing the mask layer 301 , the second coupling member 303 is formed on the periphery of the surface B to be processed and on the surface of the conductive layer 302 , and the second coupling member 303 surrounds the conductive layer 302 .
[0070] The mask layer 301 is removed to expose the peripheral area of the surface B to be processed and the side wall of the conductive layer 302. The second coupling member 303 formed subsequently surrounds the conductive layer 302, so that the conductive layer 302 is completely surrounded by the first coupling member 300 and the second coupling member 303, which is beneficial to prevent metal contamination.
[0071] Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram of another structure of forming a lower electrode assembly according to the present invention.
[0072] Similar to the above embodiment, a first coupling member 400 is provided. The first coupling member 400 includes a surface to be processed. A mask layer 401 is formed on the periphery of the surface to be processed.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 8 , using the mask layer 401 as a mask, an ion implantation process is used to form a conductive layer 402 in a portion of the first coupling element 400 .
[0074] Using the mask layer 401 as a mask, doping ions are implanted into the first coupling element 400. The doping ions include at least one of metal ions and inorganic ions, wherein the metal ions include nickel ions or magnesium ions, and the inorganic ions include carbon ions, nitrogen ions or silicon ions.
[0075] The implantation depth can be adjusted by controlling the energy of the implanted doping ions, thereby determining the thickness of the formed conductive layer 402. The advantage of forming the conductive layer 402 by ion implantation is that there is no interface between the conductive layer 402 formed by ion implantation and the first coupling member 400, and no delamination occurs.
[0076] After forming the conductive layer 402, the method further includes: removing the mask layer 401; after removing the mask layer 401, forming a second coupling member in the peripheral area of the conductive layer 402 and the first coupling member 400, wherein the second coupling member surrounds the conductive layer 402. The second coupling member surrounds the conductive layer 402, so that the conductive layer 402 is completely surrounded by the first coupling member 400 and the second coupling member, which is beneficial to preventing metal contamination.
[0077] Figures 9 to 11 It is a structural schematic diagram of the steps of forming a lower electrode assembly according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0078] Please refer to Fig. 9 , providing a first coupling member 500, wherein the first coupling member 500 includes a surface C to be processed.
[0079] Please refer to Fig.10 , forming a conductive layer 501 on the surface C to be processed.
[0080] In this embodiment, the material of the conductive layer 501 is carbon fiber. Since carbon fiber will not cause metal contamination when exposed to a plasma environment, there is no need for an additional mask layer to allow the subsequent second coupling member to surround the conductive layer 501. This is beneficial for simplifying the process steps and reducing process costs.
[0081] Please refer to Fig.11 , a second coupling element 502 is formed on the surface of the conductive layer 501 .
[0082] In summary, a conductive layer is arranged in the coupling ring, and the conductive layer is electrically connected to the base through a wire, so that the potential of the base is equal to the potential of the conductive layer, then the potential difference between the base and the coupling ring is transferred to the potential difference between the conductive layer and the coupling ring above the conductive layer. Since there is no gap in the coupling ring above the conductive layer and the breakdown resistance is good, no discharge will occur between the conductive layer and the coupling ring above the conductive layer, and since the coupling ring below the conductive layer and the base are at the same potential, arc discharge is not likely to occur between the coupling ring and the base.
[0083] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto.

Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
