Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor equipment, and in particular relates to an electrostatic chuck and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main structure of the electrostatic chuck (ESC) used in processes containing corrosive gases such as etching and thin film deposition includes three parts: the upper ceramic layer, the lower metal base and the middle bonding layer that bonds the former two together - the glue layer. The metal base contains structures such as water channels, gas channels, and circuits, as well as electrodes connected to the ceramic layer for generating static electricity and / or heating. The ceramic layer is mainly aluminum oxide or aluminum nitride ceramic. The glue layer is mainly thermally conductive silicone. The glue layer not only bonds the upper and lower parts, but also plays a role in uniform heat conduction.

[0003] In addition, the electrostatic chuck also includes one or more airflow channels and PIN (lifting pin) holes, and the airflow channels are used to transport heat-conducting gas, and the heat-conducting gas is filled in the area between the electrostatic chuck and the wafer substrate, thereby increasing the heat transfer rate between the wafer substrate and the wafer substrate support. When the wafer substrate is working, the outer side of the bonding layer is often in contact with the Plasma process gas and is corroded and aged. When there is no wafer substrate, when the process gas (such as the clean Plasma gas for cleaning the reaction chamber) is sprayed onto the upper surface of the electrostatic chuck, a small amount of process gas will enter the airflow channel and the PIN hole, so that the process gas will flow into the bonding layer area between the electrostatic chuck and the metal base, thereby causing the bonding layer around the airflow channel and the PIN hole to often contact the corrosive process gas and be corroded and aged. The material that is corroded and peeled off from the bonding layer is a process contaminant, which will produce particle defects and reduce the quality of the wafer product. At the same time, when the bonding layer is corroded and aged, the local heat transfer rate between the electrostatic chuck and the metal base will change, thereby generating temperature non-uniformity on the wafer substrate and causing process drift. Summary of the invention

[0029] In order to reduce the erosion of the bonding layer and the metal base of the electrostatic chuck by plasma, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electrostatic chuck 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes: a metal base 101, which is provided with a plurality of gas channels 111 and a lifting channel 112; the bottom end of the gas channel 111 is connected to a gas source (not shown) for conveying heat-conducting gas to the lower surface of the wafer substrate; a lifting pin (PIN) is provided in the lifting channel 112, and the lifting pin moves up and down along the lifting channel 112 to drive the wafer substrate to move in the vertical direction; a ceramic cover 103, which is provided on the metal base 101; a bonding layer 102, which is provided between the metal base 101 and the ceramic cover 102, and is used to bond the ceramic cover 103 and the metal base 101; wherein the ceramic cover 103 includes: a ceramic disk 131, which is located above the metal base 101, The ceramic disk 131 is provided with a gas sleeve 133 and a lifting sleeve 134 which pass through the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic disk; the gas sleeve 133 passes through the bonding layer 102 to communicate with the gas channel 111; the lifting sleeve 134 passes through the bonding layer 102 to communicate with the lifting channel 112; the ceramic ring 132, the upper part of which is connected to the circumferential edge of the ceramic disk 131, and the lower part is arranged around the circumference of the bonding layer 102 and the metal base 101, covering the side walls of the bonding layer 102 and the metal base 101, so as to form a sealing protection for the sides of the bonding layer 102 and the metal base 101, effectively preventing plasma from corroding the bonding layer 102 and the metal base 101 from the side, thereby improving the service life of the electrostatic suction cup.

[0030] Among them, in this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the upper part of the metal base 101 is provided with a step 117 in the circumferential direction. When the ceramic cover 103 is provided on the metal base 101, the lower part of the ceramic ring 132 covers the side wall of the bonding layer 102 and the upper step 117 of the metal base 101. The lower part height of the ceramic ring 132 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the bonding layer 102 and the height of the upper step 117 of the metal base 101. The connection between the bonding layer 102 and the metal base 101 is sealed and protected by the lower part of the ceramic ring 132, thereby avoiding plasma bombardment and erosion of the bonding layer 102 and the step of the metal base 101. The metal base 101 is also provided with a coolant flow channel 113 for controlling the temperature of the metal base 101.

[0031] Among them, Figure 1As shown, the ceramic plate 131 is provided with an electrostatic adsorption electrode 1311 and a heating electrode 1312; the electrostatic adsorption electrode 1311 is used to provide an electrostatic adsorption force to adsorb and fix the wafer substrate; the heating electrode 1312 is used to heat the wafer substrate. The gas sleeve 133 is staggered with the electrostatic adsorption electrode 1311 and the heating electrode 1312; the lifting sleeve 134 is staggered with the electrostatic adsorption electrode 1311 and the heating electrode 1312 to achieve mutual isolation of the gas path and the circuit in the electrostatic chuck 100.

[0032] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, the bottom end of the gas sleeve 133 at least partially extends into the gas channel 111, and a first sealing ring 115 is provided between the gas sleeve 133 and the gas channel 111; the bottom end of the lifting sleeve 134 at least partially extends into the lifting channel 112, and a second sealing ring 116 is provided between the lifting sleeve 134 and the lifting channel 112. By extending the bottom ends of the gas sleeve 133 and the lifting sleeve 134 into the corresponding gas channel 111 and the lifting channel 112 in the metal base 101, the gas sleeve 133 and the lifting sleeve 134 directly pass through the bonding layer 102 and enter the metal base 101, thereby improving the sealing performance of the gas channel 111 and the lifting channel 112 between the bonding layer 102 and the metal base 101, and effectively preventing the plasma in the gas channel 111 and the lifting channel 112 from contacting the bonding layer 102 around the hole, thereby avoiding the corrosion of the bonding layer 102 by the plasma and causing uneven heat conduction, leakage of reaction gas, arc discharge and other undesirable phenomena.

Within the above-mentioned wall thickness range, a better sealing effect can be achieved, and the production cost can be saved while effectively blocking plasma erosion. Furthermore, the diameter of the gas sleeve 133 is smaller than the diameter of the lifting sleeve 134. As an optional embodiment, the diameter range of the gas sleeve 133 is 0.05 to 1 mm, and the diameter range of the lifting sleeve 134 is 1 to 5 mm.

[0034] In order to achieve a better sealing effect, in this embodiment, the ceramic disk 131, the gas sleeve 133, the lifting sleeve 134 and the ceramic ring 132 are formed by co-firing in one piece, which greatly improves the sealing and connection strength between the ceramic disk 131 and the ceramic ring 132, the gas sleeve 133 and the lifting sleeve 134.

[0035] In another embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the lower portion of the ceramic ring 132 is also provided with an extension portion 1321 vertically arranged with the ceramic ring 132, and the extension portion 1321 extends radially outward along the metal base to cover the upper surface of the step 117 of the metal base 101, thereby reducing the erosion of the plasma on the upper surface of the step 117 of the metal base 101 and extending the service life of the electrostatic suction cup 100.

[0036] In yet another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the top of the metal base 201 is in the same plane, that is, there is no step on the top edge of the metal base 201. In this embodiment, the lower part of the ceramic ring 232 completely covers the side walls of the metal base 201 and the side walls of the bonding layer 102, thereby preventing plasma from corroding the bonding layer 102 and the metal base 201 from the side, thereby increasing the service life of the electrostatic suction cup.
