Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cell components, and in particular relates to a plate-type atomic deposition device and an atomic deposition process using the atomic deposition device. Background Art
[0002] Plate-type atomic layer deposition technology, also known as spatial atomic layer deposition technology, is a technology that can deposit various thin film materials from the gas phase, making atomic layer deposition technology show great prospects in emerging semiconductor and energy conversion technologies. Based on continuous self-limiting reactions, plate-type atomic layer deposition technology ALD provides excellent conformality on high aspect ratio structures, angstrom-level thickness control and adjustable film composition, and has become a powerful tool for many industrial and research applications.
[0003] Atomic layer deposition technology is divided into "space-isolated atomic layer deposition" and "time-isolated atomic layer deposition" technologies. The method of space-isolated atomic layer deposition is to move the sample between different positions and expose it to different precursors at each position. Time-isolated atomic layer deposition is to fix the wafer and alternately introduce and remove precursors in the chamber.
[0004] See also Figure 4 The existing plate-type atomic deposition equipment includes a plate-type reaction chamber 1, on which a plurality of mutually spaced inert gas isolation components 10 are arranged; the plate-type reaction chamber 1 is also provided with a plurality of metal source input pipes 2 for inputting metal source gas, and the metal source input pipes 2 are located between adjacent inert gas isolation components 10; the plate-type reaction chamber 1 is also provided with a plurality of oxygen source input pipes 3 for inputting oxygen source gas, and the oxygen source input pipes 3 are located between adjacent inert gas isolation components and the oxygen source input pipes 3 are located between adjacent metal source input pipes 2. The above-mentioned plate-type atomic deposition equipment performs spatially isolated atomic layer deposition, and is usually used in production lines that need to control the production rhythm to improve production efficiency. The limitation is that there is only a single reaction source channel. Therefore, the thin film layer prepared by the existing plate-type atomic deposition equipment is single, and the controllability of the film components is poor, which is not suitable for the preparation of composite thin film layers. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a plate-type atomic deposition device and an atomic deposition process using the atomic deposition device. The present invention improves the input pipelines of the metal source and the oxygen source. The metal source is input through the branch pipe and mixed in the main pipe, and then enters the plate-type reaction chamber. Each branch pipe inputs the same or different metal sources. Similarly, the oxygen source also uses the main pipe and the branch pipe to achieve the mixed input of the same or different oxygen sources. The mixed metal source and the mixed oxygen source are deposited in sequence, and the preparation of the mixed film layer is achieved without removing the substrate. The deficiencies of the film layer prepared by a single reaction source of the existing equipment are overcome, and the control of the film layer is further improved by setting solenoid valves on the branch pipe and the main pipe, which provides the possibility of preparing more film layers with different properties.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the reaction chamber 1 is sequentially provided with a nitrogen input pipe 11, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, a metal source input pipe group 4, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, a nitrogen input pipe 11, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, an oxygen source input pipe group 5, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, a nitrogen input pipe 11, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, a metal source input pipe group 4, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, a nitrogen input pipe 11, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, an oxygen source input pipe group 5, a nitrogen exhaust pipe 12, and a nitrogen input pipe 11 along its length direction. It can be understood that the scheme of the present invention is not limited to the above structure, and multiple groups of metal source group 4-inert gas isolation assembly 10-oxygen source input pipe group 5-inert gas isolation assembly 10 can be repeatedly provided on this basis.
[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a single metal source input pipe group 4 includes a metal source input main pipe 41 and a plurality of metal source input branch pipes 42 connected to the metal source input main pipe 41; one end of the metal source input main pipe 41 is connected to the plate-type reaction chamber 1, and the other end is connected to the metal source input branch pipe 42; each metal source input branch pipe 42 inputs the same or different metal sources.
[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a single oxygen source input pipe group 5 includes an oxygen source input main pipe 51 and a plurality of oxygen source input branch pipes 52 connected to the oxygen source input main pipe 51. One end of the oxygen source input main pipe 51 is connected to the plate-type reaction chamber 1 and the other end is connected to the oxygen source input branch pipe 52. Each oxygen source input branch pipe 52 inputs the same or different oxygen sources.
[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, there are two metal source input branch pipes 42, which respectively input the same or different metal sources.
[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, there are two oxygen source input branch pipes 52, which respectively input the same or different metal sources.
[0040] It can be understood that the present invention provides a new direction for composite film preparation by setting a main pipe and a branch pipe in both the metal source input pipe combination and the oxygen source input pipe group. Compared with setting a main pipe and a branch pipe for a single metal source, when different metal sources or oxygen sources are set in the main pipe and the branch pipe, the preparation of a composite film layer containing multiple components can be achieved at one time. Compared with a single film layer or an alternatingly distributed film layer, a composite film layer can realize a composite film structure corresponding to the actual production design of the customer, which is convenient for independent design and development of a composite film structure, and provides a new direction for the development of scientific research instruments.
[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, there are two metal source input branch pipes 42 , and one of the metal source input branch pipes 42 inputs TDMASn, namely metal source gas 1 , and the other metal source input branch pipe 42 inputs DEZ, namely metal source gas 2 .

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the oxygen source input main pipe 51 is provided with a third solenoid valve 511 ; the single oxygen source input branch pipe 52 is provided with a second pulse valve 521 and a fourth solenoid valve 522 in sequence along the flow direction of the metal source.
[0045] It can be understood that the present invention further sets solenoid valves on the metal input main pipe and the oxygen source input main pipe, and sets pulse valves and solenoid valves on the metal input branch pipe and the oxygen source input branch pipe, so as to realize the control of the input gas source. For example, one input source can be controlled not to be input, and only one input source can be input. At this time, due to the single-side branch input, the gas flow enters the plate-type reaction chamber through the mixing tube, and the stability of the gas flow is poor. Therefore, the present invention preferably inputs gas sources into both the oxygen source input branch pipe and the metal source input branch pipe. For example, the metal source input branch pipe includes two, and both branches input the same or different metal sources.
[0046] It is understood that in the present invention, the atomic deposition device also includes other conventional components, including but not limited to a substrate moving system, a nitrogen storage container, an exhaust gas collection container, a metal source input container, an oxygen source input container, etc., and the present invention does not limit the configuration thereof. Any configuration that can achieve the purpose of the present invention is within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, one end of the nitrogen input pipe is connected to the plate-type reaction chamber 1, and the other end is connected to the nitrogen storage container for storing the required nitrogen. One end of the nitrogen exhaust pipe is connected to the plate-type reaction chamber 1, and the other end is connected to the exhaust collection container for collecting and processing the exhausted gas.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, one end of the oxygen source input branch pipe and the metal source input branch pipe are respectively connected to the plate reaction chamber 1, and the other end is respectively connected to the oxygen source storage container and the metal source storage container, respectively providing oxygen source and metal source for the oxygen source inlet and outlet branch pipe and the metal source input branch pipe.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the movement of the substrate can be achieved by existing methods, including but not limited to motor control. The atomic deposition equipment also includes a detection control system that can detect the moving position of the substrate, and then control the input and output of nitrogen, oxygen source, metal gas source, etc. according to the moving position. The present invention does not limit the detection control system, and any detection system that can achieve the purpose of the present invention is within the scope of protection of this application, such as any existing device that can achieve movement and detection.

[0053] S2: The substrate moves along the length direction of the plate-type reaction chamber 1 to the bottom of the oxygen source input tube group 5, and the oxygen source input tube group 5 pulses the second precursor, which is H 2 O and / or O 3, the first precursor adsorbed on the surface of the substrate reacts chemically with the second precursor to obtain a composite film, the dry nitrogen inlet pipe 11 adjacent to the oxygen source inlet pipe group 5 inputs nitrogen into the plate-type reaction chamber 1, and the nitrogen exhaust pipe 12 adjacent to the oxygen source inlet pipe group 5 extracts the nitrogen in the plate-type reaction chamber 1 and the remaining unreacted second precursor from the plate-type reaction chamber 1;
[0054] S3: Repeat the S1-S2 operation 0-180 times in a cycle to atomically deposit a multi-layer composite film on the substrate.
[0055] In some embodiments, in step S1, when the first precursor is TDMASn and DEZ, the volume ratio of TDMASn to DEZ is 1:1-19, including but not limited to 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8, 1:10, 1:12, 1:14, 1:15, 1:17, 1:19, preferably, the volume ratio of TDMASn to DEZ is 1:19;
