[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and particularly to a method for depositing a metal thin film based on photoresist and related equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the process of preparing a metal thin film by physical vapor deposition, since the plasma bombards the surface of the metal target, the metal atoms on the surface of the target escape and fall onto the surface of the wafer to form a corresponding metal thin film. When the surface of the wafer is the surface of the photoresist, the energy generated during the falling of the metal atoms will be converted into heat energy at the moment of contact with the photoresist, causing the surface of the photoresist to heat up.

Therefore, the current preparation method has poor adhesion between the photoresist and the metal thin film, poor uniformity of the generated thin film, poor product quality, low success rate, which will further lead to poor practicability of the preparation method and waste of resources.

[0013] After the output of the target sputtering power stops for a set time, control the magnetron sputtering equipment to resume the output of the target sputtering power.
[0014] Optionally, before the step of controlling the magnetron sputtering equipment to resume the output of the target sputtering power, it further includes:

[0027] Obtain the thermal conductivity of the substrate photoresist;
[0028] According to the thermal conductivity and the softening temperature range, determine the target temperature range of the substrate photoresist.

[0033] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, the drawings required for use in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, for those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts.

[0035] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a reaction chamber of a metal thin film deposition method based on photoresist provided by an embodiment of the present application;

[0038] Embodiments will be described in detail below, and examples thereof are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. They are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application detailed in the claims. In several embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the disclosed apparatus and method can also be implemented in other ways. The apparatus embodiments described below are merely exemplary.
[0039] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a metal thin film deposition method based on photoresist, including:
[0040] Step S110, controlling a magnetron sputtering device to output a target sputtering power, so that a plasma bombards a metal target, and a metal thin film is deposited on a substrate photoresist.
[0041] Exemplarily, the above target sputtering power can be controlled by controlling the power of the power supply of the magnetron sputtering device.
[0042] Step S120, during the process of depositing the metal thin film on the substrate photoresist, cooling down the substrate photoresist to control the substrate photoresist to be maintained within a target temperature range.
[0043] Exemplarily, the side of the substrate photoresist away from the metal thin film deposition can be cooled by a cooling device. The deposition of the metal thin film can be carried out periodically. For example, the wafer can be controlled by electrostatic adsorption first, and the reaction gas can be introduced into the reaction environment where the magnetron sputtering equipment is located in advance. When a certain amount of reaction gas is introduced, the power supply of the magnetron sputtering equipment can be started with a power less than the above target sputtering power. After the power supply is started, the output power of the power supply can be adjusted to the target sputtering power to control the deposition rate of the metal thin film. After depositing for a period of time, the power supply can be turned off, and the substrate photoresist can continue to be cooled. The cooling device can be started when the temperature of the metal thin film deposition surface of the substrate photoresist is higher than or equal to the preset temperature, and stopped when the temperature of the metal thin film deposition surface drops below the preset temperature. It is also possible to control the cooling device to keep running during the entire deposition cycle. For example, when depositing a copper atom thin film on the surface of AZ40 substrate photoresist, argon can be used as the reaction gas, the cooling temperature of the cooling device can be controlled at 13 °C, during the deposition stage, the target sputtering power can be 20,000 W, the deposition time can be 2 seconds, and after the deposition is completed, the substrate photoresist can continue to be cooled by the cooling device, and the cooling time can be 4 seconds.
[0044] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of a reaction chamber for a method for depositing a metal thin film based on photoresist provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, 210 is a power supply device, 220 is a vacuum reaction chamber, 221 is a cathode, 222 is a target metal target, 223 is a plasma, 224 is a target metal target atom, 225 is a substrate photoresist wafer, 226 is an anode, 227 is a cooling device, and 228 is an inflation pump. When the output power of the power supply device is the target sputtering power, the plasma bombards the target metal target, and the target metal target atoms escape and deposit on the surface of the substrate photoresist wafer.
[0045] By controlling the target sputtering power, the sputtering temperature of metal atoms can be controlled, the heating rate of the photoresist can be controlled, and the photoresist can be cooled to control the photoresist to remain within the target temperature range, which can avoid the softening of the photoresist, resulting in bubble defects in the deposition process of metal atoms, and further improve the quality of the product and the practicality of the preparation method.
[0046] According to some embodiments, the steps for obtaining the above target temperature range include:
[0047] Obtain the sputtering temperature of the target metal target atoms (or the corresponding metal thin film deposition temperature);
[0048] Obtain the softening temperature range of the substrate photoresist;
[0049] Determine the target temperature range of the substrate photoresist according to the softening temperature range of the above-mentioned substrate photoresist.
[0050] Exemplarily, the sputtering temperature of the above-mentioned target metal target atoms is the temperature change on the surface of the photoresist caused by the deposition of the target metal target atoms on the surface of the substrate photoresist after escaping under the target sputtering power. The above sputtering temperature is related to the energy generated during the process of the target metal target atoms escaping and depositing on the surface of the substrate photoresist. For example, it can be related to the distance between the anode and the cathode, the magnitude of the target sputtering power, and also the heat generation capacity of the substrate photoresist due to friction. The softening temperature range of the above-mentioned substrate photoresist can be determined according to the temperature corresponding to the substrate photoresist softening to complete softening. The above target temperature range is the temperature range corresponding to no bubble defects occurring when the target metal target atoms are deposited on the surface of the substrate photoresist, and can be determined according to the type and properties of the substrate photoresist, or can be determined according to the cooling efficiency of the cooling and temperature reduction device on the metal film deposition surface of the substrate photoresist.
[0051] Since the relationship between the softening of different substrate photoresists and the surface temperature is different, therefore, determining the target temperature range of the target photoresist through the softening temperature range of the substrate photoresist can improve the effectiveness of the target temperature range, improve the uniformity and film quality of the metal film, and improve the practicability and deposition efficiency of the deposition method.
[0052] According to some embodiments, the above-mentioned method for depositing a metal film based on a photoresist further includes:
[0053] During the process of depositing the above metal film on the above substrate photoresist, when the heating rate on the deposition surface of the above substrate photoresist is greater than or equal to the cooling rate, control to stop the output of the above target sputtering power;
[0054] After the output of the above target sputtering power stops for a set time, control the magnetron sputtering device to resume the output of the target sputtering power.
[0055] Exemplarily, the heating rate on the deposition surface of the above substrate photoresist is determined according to the above sputtering temperature, which is the temperature change situation of the deposition surface of the substrate photoresist per unit time. The above cooling rate is the temperature change situation of the deposition surface of the substrate photoresist per unit time when the cooling and temperature reduction device cools the substrate photoresist away from the deposition surface. The above set time is the duration required for the temperature of the deposition surface of the substrate photoresist to drop to the target deposition temperature when the output of the target sputtering power stops, and the above target deposition temperature can be a temperature lower than the lower limit of the target temperature range.
[0056] When the above-mentioned heating rate is greater than or equal to the above-mentioned cooling rate, it can be considered that the cooling effect of the cooling device on the substrate photoresist is in a critical state. At this time, if the target sputtering power continues to be output, the deposition temperature of the target target metal atoms will cause the temperature of the deposition surface of the substrate photoresist to exceed the target temperature range, resulting in bubble defects. Therefore, when in the critical state, stop outputting the target sputtering power and set a cooling time for the substrate photoresist, which can ensure the deposition quality in the next stage, improve the uniformity of the metal thin film, and improve the practicality of the deposition method.
[0057] According to some embodiments, before the step of controlling the magnetron sputtering equipment to resume outputting the target sputtering power, it further includes:
[0058] Detect the output water temperature of the cooling water circulation;
[0059] Judge whether the temperature of the deposition surface is within the above-mentioned target temperature range according to the output water temperature of the above-mentioned cooling water circulation.
[0060] When cooling and lowering the temperature of the substrate photoresist through the water circulation system, detecting the output water temperature can determine the temperature of the deposition surface, and the temperature detection of the deposition surface can be directly carried out outside the reaction chamber, which can simplify the detection process, reduce the detection difficulty, and improve the practicality and convenience of the deposition method.
[0061] According to some embodiments, the step of determining the target sputtering power of the above-mentioned reaction chamber includes:
[0062] Obtain the target deposition rate of the above-mentioned metal thin film;
[0063] Based on the above-mentioned target deposition rate, determine the target sputtering power of the reaction chamber.
[0064] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned target deposition rate is the deposition thickness of the metal thin film per unit time. The target sputtering power has a positive correlation with the target deposition rate.
[0065] Determining the target sputtering power through the target deposition rate can reduce the difficulty of determining the target sputtering power, simplify the operation steps, reduce the deposition difficulty, and improve the practicality and convenience of the deposition method.
[0066] According to some embodiments, the above-mentioned determining the target sputtering power of the reaction chamber based on the above-mentioned target deposition rate includes:
[0067] Obtain the reaction chamber pressure of the above-mentioned reaction chamber;
[0068] According to the above-mentioned target deposition rate and the reaction chamber pressure information, determine the above-mentioned target sputtering power.
[0069] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned reaction chamber pressure can be determined by the inflation amount of the inflation pump of the reaction chamber and the volume of the reaction chamber. Under the same sputtering power, the collision probability of target metal target atoms after escaping will increase, and the deposition rate of target metal target atoms will decrease.
[0070] By using the target deposition rate and reaction chamber pressure information to determine the target sputtering power, the target sputtering power can be determined more accurately, improving the accuracy and objectivity of the deposition method and the deposition quality of the thin film.
[0071] According to some embodiments, the above-mentioned method for depositing a metal thin film based on photoresist further includes:
[0072] Obtaining the target deposition thickness of the target metal thin film;
[0073] Based on the above-mentioned target deposition rate and the above-mentioned target deposition thickness, determining the target deposition times of the substrate photoresist.
[0074] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned target deposition thickness is the overall thickness of the metal thin film determined according to the preparation requirements.
[0075] Determining the target deposition times of the substrate photoresist according to the target deposition rate and the target deposition thickness can facilitate the adjustment of the cycle of each stage of the deposition method, improve the deposition efficiency, and enhance the practicability of the deposition method.
[0076] According to some embodiments, the step of obtaining the above-mentioned target temperature range includes:
[0077] Obtaining the thermal conductivity of the above-mentioned substrate photoresist;
[0078] Based on the above-mentioned thermal conductivity and the above-mentioned softening temperature range, determining the target temperature range of the above-mentioned substrate photoresist.
[0079] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned thermal conductivity is the temperature change of the deposition surface caused by the temperature change on the side of the substrate photoresist away from the deposition surface, which is related to the type and properties of the substrate photoresist. In the case of strong thermal conductivity, it can be considered that the cooling and temperature reduction device has a good cooling effect on the deposition surface, and the upper and lower limits of the target temperature range can be increased. Conversely, the upper and lower limits of the target temperature range can be decreased.
[0080] Determining the target temperature range of the substrate photoresist according to the thermal conductivity and the softening temperature range can enhance the cooling capacity of the cooling device, expand the target temperature range, extend the time of single deposition, shorten the deposition cycle, improve the deposition efficiency, and thereby enhance the practicability of the deposition method.

When the processor 320 executes the computer program 311, the following steps are implemented:
[0083] Control the magnetron sputtering equipment to output the target sputtering power, so that the plasma bombards the metal target, and deposit a metal thin film on the substrate photoresist;
[0084] During the process of depositing the above-mentioned metal thin film on the above-mentioned substrate photoresist, cool down the substrate photoresist to control the above-mentioned substrate photoresist to be maintained within the target temperature range.
