Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wafer dry etching, in particular to a wafer dry etching device used for semiconductor production. Background Art

[0002] Wafer dry etching is a key step in semiconductor manufacturing. Its steps usually include the following main stages: first, clean the wafer. Before etching, the wafer surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any impurities that may affect the etching quality. Evenly coat a layer of photoresist (photosensitive material) on the surface of the wafer. Dry the wafer coated with photoresist to fix the photoresist and prepare it for photolithography. Place the designed mask (transparent glass or photoresist board with the desired pattern) on top of the photoresist on the wafer and ensure precise alignment between the two. Use an ultraviolet light source to irradiate the photoresist on the wafer through the mask so that the photoresist is in the area corresponding to the transparent part of the mask. A chemical reaction occurs, the exposed wafer is placed in a chemical solution to dissolve the part of the photoresist that is not exposed to light, thereby leaving the desired pattern on the wafer surface. An etching gas (such as a fluorine-based gas) is introduced into the etching chamber, and the gas molecules are ionized into a plasma state through an electric field or other means. The physical bombardment of ions or free radicals in the plasma is used to knock out the material atoms on the surface of the wafer to achieve etching. The etching process is monitored by sensors or other equipment to ensure that etching is performed according to preset parameters and time. After etching is completed, the wafer is cleaned to remove residual etching gas and by-products, and the etched wafer is inspected to ensure that its quality meets the preset standards;

[0003] In the dry etching process, a corresponding base is often selected according to the size of the wafer to ensure that the wafer will not be offset during the etching process. Under normal circumstances, the base is usually 6 inches, 8 inches or 12 inches. However, in the actual etching process, smaller wafers will inevitably appear due to actual needs. When etching these smaller wafers, if a separate base is designed, the cost will be relatively increased and human resources will be wasted. Therefore, when etching small-sized wafers, the staff usually apply thermal conductive silicone oil on the surface of the base. For small-sized wafers, due to their relatively small surface area, the heat generated during the etching process may more easily cause local overtemperature, thereby affecting Etching uniformity and precision, therefore, applying thermal grease can more effectively transfer heat from the wafer surface to the base and disperse it to a larger area, maintaining the temperature uniformity of the wafer surface. At the same time, small-sized samples can be attached to the base through thermal silicone oil. However, when applying thermal silicone oil, the staff's application method often causes too much or too little thermal silicone oil on the base. Applying too much will cause the excess silicone grease to form a thick layer, hindering the effective transfer of heat. Applying too little may cause the wafer temperature to be too high during the etching process, thereby affecting the etching effect and wafer performance. For this reason, we propose a wafer dry etching device for semiconductor production. Summary of the invention

[0051] As a further limitation of the present invention, Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the power mechanism 10 includes a rotating sleeve 101 disposed inside the annular panel 53, and the rotating sleeve 101 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the annular panel 53, and the end of the rotating shaft body 92 sequentially passes through the movable sleeve 52, the annular panel 53 and the rotating sleeve 101 and extends to the bottom of the rotating sleeve 101, wherein the outer wall of the rotating shaft body 92 does not contact the inner walls of the movable sleeve 52, the annular panel 53 and the rotating sleeve 101; a force rod frame 921 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft body 92, and a force rod frame 921 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 101 The force-bearing rod frame 102 and the force-applying rod frame 921 are located below the force-bearing rod frame 102 and on the descending trajectory of the force-bearing rod frame 102, wherein the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 101 is wound with a steel cable A103, and the steel cable A103 is connected to the moving part 7; and a fixed sleeve 56 is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame 54, and a rope winding mechanism 561 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 56 is installed inside the fixed sleeve 56, and the rope winding mechanism 561 is connected to the moving part 7 by a steel cable B562, wherein a leaf spring 563 is sleeved on the rope winding mechanism 561.

[0052] When etching a small-sized wafer, it is necessary to apply thermal silicone oil on the base 3. In order to avoid the situation where the thermal silicone oil is applied too much or too little on the base 3 due to artificial application of the thermal silicone oil, the present invention uses a pipeline to output the thermal silicone oil and uses a scraper 8 to apply the thermal silicone oil. Since impurities and particulate matter in the dust may chemically react with the thermal silicone oil, causing the performance of the thermal silicone oil to decrease or even deteriorate, before applying the thermal silicone oil, the present invention uses a cleaning roller 77 to clean the surface of the base 3 to avoid dust adhering to the base 3.

[0053] Step a: First, the cylinder 21 is started, and its output end acts on the movable frame 5 to move its position on the guide slide rail 6 and move it to the top of the base 3. Then, the servo motor 91 is started to make the servo motor 91 rotate forward, and then the output end of the servo motor 91 drives the rotating shaft 92 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 92, the threaded groove 93 thereon acts on the retractable ball 521, so that under the action of the retractable ball 521, the movable sleeve 52 is directed downward inside the supporting sleeve 51, and then the annular panel 53, the supporting frame 54, the supporting slider 73 at the bottom of the movable sleeve 52, and the cleaning roller 77 and the scraper 8 connected by the above components are synchronously descended, so as to achieve a wide range of position adjustment of the cleaning roller 77 and the scraper 8 to adapt to bases 3 at different heights. It should be noted that the force-applying rod frame 921 is located on the descending trajectory of the force-bearing rod frame 102. When the retractable ball 521 descends, When it drops to the end of the threaded groove 93, that is, when it intersects with the annular groove 94, the force-bearing rod frame 102 is located on the rotation trajectory of the force-applying rod frame 921. When the retractable ball 521 drops into the annular groove 94, when the rotating shaft 92 rotates, the retractable ball 521 will not drop, and when the servo motor 91 rotates forward, the retractable ball 521 will pass through the inclined surface of the guide plate frame 95, and will not be guided by the guide plate frame 95, and the rotating shaft 92 will rotate. 92 rotates in this state, and the force-applying rod frame 921 thereon applies a force to the force-receiving rod frame 102 during the rotation process, so that the rotating sleeve 101 rotates, and the steel cable A103 on the rotating sleeve 101 pulls the moving slider 71 to slide in a directional manner in the support frame 54. At the same time, the moving slider 71 pulls the steel cable B562 during the movement process, so that the rope winding mechanism 561 rotates in the fixed sleeve 56, and the leaf spring 563 is in a deformed state;

[0054] When the movable slider 71 is in motion, the limit frames 72 on both sides thereof will move synchronously therewith, and then the retractable column 731 on the supporting slider 73 will move from the initial end to the end of the inclined downward area 571, and then the supporting slider 73 will descend in the limit frame 72 and compress the return spring 74. When the supporting slider 73 descends to the lowest point (that is, the retractable column 731 moves to the straight area 572), the connecting sleeve 75 on the supporting slider 73 will drive the connecting shaft 76 to synchronously descend to the lowest point, and then the cleaning roller 77 on the connecting shaft 76 will contact the surface of the base 3. When the movable slider 71 moves in the supporting frame 54, the cleaning roller 77 cleans the dust on the surface of the base 3. When the retractable column 731 moves to the inclined upward area 573, the cleaning roller 77 is separated from the surface of the base 3 and attached. Fig.16 As shown, this diagram refers to: the cleaning range of the surface of the base 3 and the application range of the thermal conductive silicone oil before etching the small-sized wafer;

[0055] Step b: When the retractable column 731 enters the inclined upward area 573 and moves along its trajectory through the inclined surface of the limiting plate frame 575 to the initial end of the return area 574, the retractable shaft will touch the sensing element 576, and the sensing element 576 controls the electric magnetic group 751 to be energized through an electrical signal. The electric magnetic group 751 is energized to generate a repulsive force on the magnetic end of the moving shaft 761 (the spring body 763 is in a compressed state), and the moving shaft 761 slides within the connecting shaft 76, and then the rolling ball 762 on the moving shaft 761 moves along the trajectory of the arc groove 752, so that the moving shaft 761 drives the connecting shaft 76 to rotate, so that the connecting shaft 76 drives the cleaning roller 77 and the scraper 8 to adjust the angle through the supporting shaft 78, so that the scraper 8 contacts the surface of the base 3 when it drops to the lowest point;

[0056] In this state, the servo motor 91 reverses to make the rotating shaft 92 rotate in the opposite direction, and the retractable column 731 will be close to the right-angled surface of the guide plate frame 95. At the same time, since the force-applying rod frame 921 moves in the opposite direction with the rotating shaft 92, no force will be applied to the force-bearing rod frame 102. The rope winding mechanism 561, under the action of the leaf spring 563, makes the steel cable B562 pull the movable slider 71 to move in the opposite direction in the support frame 54, and then the retractable column 731 on the supporting slider 73 will move along the trajectory of the return area 574, and finally move to the initial end of the inclined downward area 571. During this process, the retractable column 731 will pass through the inclined surface of the limiting plate frame 575. When the retractable column 731 returns to the initial position; at this time, the servo motor 91 is controlled to rotate forward and the above action is repeated. When the scraper 8 contacts the base 3, the tube 81 on its surface will output heat conduction Silicone oil, so that the thermal conductive silicone oil is applied to the surface of the base 3, and then the scraper 8 flattens the thermal conductive silicone oil, so as to avoid the situation where the thermal conductive silicone oil is applied too much or too little. When the retractable column 731 touches the sensing element 576 again, the electric magnetic group 751 is powered off, and under the action of the spring mechanism, the cleaning roller 77 and the scraper 8 return to the initial angle, and then the servo motor 91 reverses, so that the cleaning roller 77 and the scraper 8 return to the initial position, and the movable sleeve 52 and the connected mechanical parts return to the initial position, and then the cylinder 21 drives the movable frame 5 back to the sealed chamber 2, and the automatic sealing door panel 4 is closed. The robot in the prior art places the small-sized wafer on the surface of the base 3 for etching, and then through the structural design of the present invention, the thermal conductive silicone oil on the surface of the base 3 is evenly applied, avoiding the situation where the thermal conductive silicone oil is applied too much or too little, so as to improve the etching quality of small-sized wafers.
