Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor equipment, and in particular to a mixed gas delivery structure and a process equipment for semiconductor devices. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, the process of atomic layer deposition (ALD) is as follows: first, precursor adsorption is performed, and the first precursor is introduced into the reaction chamber to form a single adsorption layer on the surface of the wafer. Then, pulse cleaning is performed, and the unadsorbed precursor molecules and by-products are cleaned with an inert gas. After that, the reaction generates a thin film, and the second precursor is introduced to chemically react with the first precursor adsorbed on the surface of the wafer to generate an atomic layer of thin film. Finally, the above three steps are repeated, and the thin film is deposited layer by layer by alternately introducing the first precursor and the second precursor until the film reaches the desired thickness. It can be seen from the above ALD process that in an extremely short cycle time, the uniformity of precursor adsorption and the speed at which the precursor is injected into the wafer surface each time are two extremely important parameters.
[0003] In addition, the precursors in the equipment are generally divided into three categories: gas, liquid or solid. Generally, the deposition process will contain one, two or all three of them. A variety of precursors are input from cylinders through pipelines into the vacuum reaction chamber, and then dispersed to the wafer surface through a spray plate or other structure for deposition and other process treatments. The quality of the deposited film is closely related to the uniformity of the distribution of the precursor on the wafer surface and the speed at which the precursor is dispersed on the wafer surface. In order to make the precursor evenly distributed on the wafer surface, it is important that the precursor and the carrier gas can be fully mixed. Only when they are fully mixed can the precursor on the wafer surface achieve better uniformity.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the art is in urgent need of a gas mixing and delivery technology that can improve the mixing uniformity of the two process gases, thereby accelerating the injection speed of the process gases and improving the process efficiency.

[0054] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Although the description of the present invention will be introduced in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, this does not mean that the features of this invention are limited to this implementation. On the contrary, the purpose of introducing the invention in conjunction with the implementation is to cover other options or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present invention. In order to provide a deep understanding of the present invention, the following description will include many specific details. The present invention can also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion or blurring the focus of the present invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description.
[0055] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0056] In addition, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "horizontal" and "vertical" used in the following description should be understood as the directions shown in the paragraph and the related drawings. Such relative terms are only used for the convenience of description and do not mean that the device described therein must be manufactured or operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0057] It is understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used herein to describe various components, regions, layers and / or parts, these components, regions, layers and / or parts should not be limited by these terms, and these terms are only used to distinguish different components, regions, layers and / or parts. Therefore, the first component, region, layer and / or part discussed below may be referred to as a second component, region, layer and / or part without departing from some embodiments of the present invention.
[0058] As mentioned above, it can be seen from the above ALD process that in an extremely short cycle time, the uniformity of precursor adsorption and the speed at which the precursor is injected into the wafer surface each time are two extremely important parameters. In addition, in the process where multiple precursors are input from cylinders through pipelines into the vacuum reaction chamber, and then dispersed to the wafer surface through a spray plate or other structure for deposition and other process treatments, the quality of the deposited film is closely related to the uniformity of the precursor distribution on the wafer surface and the speed at which the precursor is dispersed on the wafer surface. In order to evenly distribute the precursor on the wafer surface, it is important that the precursor and the carrier gas are fully mixed. Only when they are fully mixed can the precursor on the wafer surface achieve better uniformity.
[0059] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a mixed gas delivery structure and a process equipment for semiconductor devices, which can improve the mixing uniformity of two process gases, thereby accelerating the injection speed of the process gas and improving the process efficiency.
[0060] In some non-limiting embodiments, the mixed gas delivery structure provided by the first aspect of the present invention may be configured in the process equipment of the semiconductor device provided by the second aspect of the present invention.
[0061] The working principle of the above-mentioned mixed gas delivery structure will be described below in conjunction with embodiments of process equipment for some semiconductor devices. Those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments of process equipment for these semiconductor devices are only some non-limiting implementations provided by the present invention, which are intended to clearly demonstrate the main concept of the present invention and provide some specific solutions that are convenient for the public to implement, rather than to limit all working modes or all functions of the mixed gas delivery structure. Similarly, the mixed gas delivery structure is also only a non-limiting implementation provided by the present invention, and does not constitute a limitation on the configuration objects of the process equipment for these semiconductor devices.
[0062] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a semiconductor device process equipment provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0063] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the process equipment 100 of the semiconductor device may mainly include a reaction chamber 110 and a mixed gas delivery structure 200. A heating plate 111 may be provided inside the reaction chamber 110 for holding wafers and heating the wafers to achieve the temperature conditions required for the coating process. A mixed gas delivery structure 200 is provided at the air inlet above the reaction chamber 110, which can be used to inject a mixed gas including a first process gas and a second process gas into the reaction chamber 110. In addition, a spray assembly 300 may be connected below the mixed gas delivery structure 200. The process gas required for the coating process can be introduced into the reaction chamber 110 through the spray assembly 300 so that the coating process can be performed on the surface of the wafer.
[0064] Optionally, the spray assembly 300 can be detachably fixed mechanically by the cover plate 120. After the coating process is completed in the reaction chamber 110, the reaction gas in the reaction chamber 110 can be extracted through the exhaust port 130. Furthermore, an exhaust bushing 131 can be provided above the heating plate 111 to maintain a uniform distribution of the reaction gas above the wafer during exhaust, so as to avoid uneven distribution of the reaction gas flow during the exhaust process, which affects the final coating effect.
[0065] Next, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of a mixed gas delivery structure provided in some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 Shows Figure 2 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the gas-breaking plug in the mixed gas conveying structure shown.
[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the mixed gas delivery structure 200 may mainly include a substrate 210 and a gas breaker 220. Specifically, the substrate 210 may be located at the gas inlet of the reaction chamber 110, and the gas breaker 220 may be inserted into the substrate 210, wherein a slit 230 is maintained between the gas breaker 220 and the substrate 210 for accommodating the first process gas 240.
[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of gas-breaking holes 221 may be provided on the side wall of the gas-breaking plug 220. The second process gas may be introduced into the center of the gas-breaking plug 220. The second process gas 250 injected into the gas-breaking plug 220 may be sprayed into the slit 230 in the form of a high-speed jet through the plurality of gas-breaking holes 221 to mix with the first process gas 240 in the slit 230, and carry the first process gas 240 into the reaction chamber 110 below through the gas outlet of the substrate 210.
[0068] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first process gas may be a chemical source gas adsorbed on the wafer surface for a coating process, such as a precursor gas. The second process gas may be a carrier gas, such as an inert gas, used to carry the chemical source gas into the reaction chamber 110.
[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, the annular opening between the gas plug 220 and the substrate 210 is a first gas inlet 231, which can be used to introduce a first process gas 240 (eg, a chemical source gas). Figure 3 As shown, in the gas-breaking plug 220, a row of uniform gas holes 232 can be provided below the first gas inlet 231, which can extend the circulation time of the first process gas 240 in the first gas inlet 231, so that the first process gas 240 can be dispersed in the first gas inlet 231 and evenly distributed in the annular first gas inlet 231. Then, the first process gas 240 can be evenly distributed in the entire annular slit 230 without being gathered in a certain area.
[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, a plurality of multi-height gas holes 221 may be distributed on the side wall of the gas-breaking plug 220. When the first process gas 240 (e.g., chemical source gas) is evenly distributed in the annular slit 230 between the gas-breaking plug 220 and the substrate 210, the second process gas 250 (e.g., carrier gas) is injected into the gas-breaking plug 220. Through the plurality of multi-height gas-breaking holes 221 in the gas-breaking plug 220, the second process gas (e.g., carrier gas) can be ejected from the gas-breaking plug 220 to the slit 230 in multiple heights and in all directions, generating a high-pressure, high-speed jet. The second process gas (e.g., carrier gas) in the form of a high-speed jet can break the flow state of the original first process gas (e.g., chemical source gas), so that the two process gases can be more fully mixed, solving the problem of uneven gas mixing in the prior art.
[0071] Specifically, see Figure 4A and 4B , Figure 4A and 4B This is a schematic diagram of the gas flow state when the first process gas and the second process gas are mixed in the prior art.
[0072] In the prior art, the chemical source gas (first process gas 240) is generally in the form of small molecules volatilized from solid or liquid, carried by a carrier gas (second process gas 250), mixed through pipelines and spray plates, and finally enters the reaction chamber. Figure 4AAs shown, the mixed gas 260 including the chemical source gas and the carrier gas usually flows in a turbulent manner in the pipeline 262. In the macroscopic view, the mixed gas 260 is mainly based on the center line 261 in the pipeline 262, and small non-directional flows are performed in all directions around the center line 261. Figure 4B As shown, the mixed gas 260 in the pipeline 262 is mainly in a collective shape, that is, the mixed gas 260 in the central area of the pipeline 262 is more concentrated, while the mixed gas 260 in the edge area is less distributed. Therefore, if you want to achieve sufficient mixing of the carrier gas (the second process gas 250) and the chemical source gas (the first process gas 240), you need to break this airflow state. In this embodiment, the second process gas 250 (for example, carrier gas) is sprayed into the first process gas 240 (for example, chemical source gas) in the external slit 230 in the form of a high-speed jet through the gas-breaking plug 220, which can well break the turbulent airflow state of the original mixed gas 260 in a collective shape and achieve full mixing of the two gases. Moreover, through the long-distance mixing space of the slit 230, a more sufficient gas mixing effect can be further achieved. In this embodiment, the carrier gas can better carry the chemical source only after it is fully mixed with the chemical source gas it matches.
[0073] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned gas mixing scheme based on carrier gas and chemical source gas is only a non-limiting implementation method provided by the present invention, which is intended to clearly demonstrate the main concept of the present invention and provide a specific scheme that is convenient for the public to implement, rather than to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Optionally, in other embodiments, the first process gas 240 and the second process gas 250 can be two different chemical source gases, and those skilled in the art can also select other different types of gases for gas mixing based on the concept of the present invention to achieve the technical effect of sufficient gas mixing.
[0074] Next, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of a spray assembly provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0075] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the gas outlet of the substrate 210 may further include a tapered gas outlet channel 211 that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, so that the mixed gas 260 of the first process gas 240 and the second process gas 250 can be ejected at high speed. The structure of the tapered gas outlet channel 211 that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom can increase the ejection area and ejection speed of the high-pressure mixed gas 260.
[0076] like Figure 5As shown, in some optional embodiments, the mixed gas delivery structure 200 may further include a spray assembly 300. The spray assembly 300 may be located at the gas outlet of the gas outlet channel 211 of the substrate 210, and includes a spray upper plate 310 and a spray plate 320, wherein the lower surface 311 of the spray upper plate 310 may be a trumpet-shaped lower opening. The spray plate 320 may be located below the spray upper plate 310, and its upper surface 321 may be a conical surface, forming a slit channel 330 with the lower surface 311 of the spray upper plate 310. The mixed gas 260 of the first process gas 240 and the second process gas 250 may be directed to the edge of the spray plate 320 via the slit channel 330.
[0077] Optionally, the slot channel 330 may be a parallel channel with equal gaps. In this case, the angles between the lower surface 311 of the spray upper plate 310 and the upper surface 321 of the spray plate 320 and the horizontal plane 340 are the same. In other embodiments, the slot channel 330 may also be a special-shaped channel with a large gap in the middle and a small gap at the edge. In this case, the angles between the lower surface 311 of the spray upper plate 310 and the upper surface 321 of the spray plate 320 and the horizontal plane 340 may be different.
[0078] Furthermore, the angle range between the lower surface 311 of the spray upper plate 310 and the horizontal plane 340 is preferably in the range of 0 to 7°, and the angle range between the upper surface 321 of the spray plate 320 and the horizontal plane 340 may also be preferably in the range of 0 to 7°, thereby ensuring that the first process gas 240 and the second process gas 250 can continue to have time to further fully mix, and at the same time, it can also ensure that the mixed gas 260 can be smoothly directed to the edge of the spray plate 320.
[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of spray holes 350 may be distributed in the spray plate 320, wherein the plurality of spray holes 350 may be arranged in a variety of different array forms according to process requirements. For example, the spray holes 350 may be arranged in any of the array forms of a circle, a triangle, or a plum blossom.
[0080] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the structure and / or aperture of the spray hole 350 may be comprehensively designed to achieve a spraying mode in which the middle region of the spray plate 320 has a large flow resistance and the edge thereof has a small flow resistance.
[0081] Specifically, optionally, the spray hole 350 may include a straight hole structure, wherein the aperture of the straight hole structure located at the edge of the spray plate 320 may be larger than the aperture of the straight hole structure located at the center of the spray plate 320, thereby realizing the above-mentioned spraying mode in which the flow resistance in the middle area of the spray plate 320 is large and the flow resistance at its edge is small.
[0082] Alternatively, in other embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown in the local enlarged area I in FIG. 3 , the spray hole 350 may include a stepped hole structure. The stepped hole structure may be composed of a small hole 351 located at the upper layer and a large hole 352 located at the lower layer, wherein the depth of the small hole 351 in the stepped hole structure located at the edge of the spray plate 320 is less than the depth of the small hole 351 in the stepped hole structure located at the center of the spray plate 320, thereby achieving a spraying mode in which the flow resistance in the middle area of the spray plate 320 is large and the flow resistance at its edge is small.
[0083] Through the above-mentioned bamboo hat-shaped spray assembly 300 structure, the mixed gas 260 of the first process gas 240 (for example, chemical source gas) and the second process gas 250 (for example, carrier gas) can be quickly dispersed above the spray plate 320, and quickly reach the edge of the spray plate 320 that is difficult to reach, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid injection into the wafer surface. In addition, through the spray hole 350 structure and / or aperture design on the spray plate 320, the flow resistance of the central area and the edge area of the spray plate 320 can be adjusted, so that the mixed process gas can be quickly and evenly sprayed onto the wafer for the coating process, which solves the problem of slow process gas delivery speed and uneven spraying on the wafer in the prior art.
[0084] In summary, the present invention provides a mixed gas delivery structure and a process equipment for a semiconductor device, which can improve the mixing uniformity of two process gases, thereby accelerating the injection speed of the process gas and improving the process efficiency.
