Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor device processing, and in particular to a wafer tray, a thin film deposition device, and a thin film deposition method. Background Art
[0002] In the field of semiconductor device processing, the uniformity and film thickness distribution of the film directly affect the performance and production efficiency of semiconductor devices. During the thin film deposition process, the thickness of the film is usually thinner in the center and thicker in the edge area. This uneven film thickness phenomenon is particularly obvious at the edge of the wafer, which usually leads to a large fluctuation range of the edge film thickness, and even high and low points with significant differences in film thickness. The existing edge ring technology is widely used in the thin film deposition process to change the film thickness at the edge of the wafer. However, since the inner diameter center of the existing edge ring is concentric with the center of the wafer, it can only increase or decrease the film thickness at the edge of the wafer as a whole, and cannot accurately control the local fluctuation of the edge film thickness. Especially when the edge film thickness of the wafer fluctuates over a large range and has obvious highs and lows, the traditional edge ring cannot accurately adjust it, which seriously affects the film quality of the wafer.
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the art urgently needs an improved wafer tray for adjusting the distance between the edge ring and the edge of the wafer, thereby adjusting the film thickness at the edge of the wafer to improve the uniformity of the thin film deposited on the wafer surface.

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.
[0038] 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.

[0041] As mentioned above, the existing edge ring technology is widely used in thin film deposition processes to change the film thickness at the edge of the wafer. However, since the inner diameter center of the existing edge ring is concentric with the center of the wafer, it can only increase or decrease the film thickness at the edge of the wafer as a whole, but cannot accurately control the local fluctuation of the edge film thickness. In particular, when the edge film thickness of the wafer fluctuates over a large range and has obvious high and low points, the traditional edge ring cannot accurately adjust it, which seriously affects the film quality of the wafer.

A plurality of second positioning portions 121 are provided at the edge of the lower surface of the edge ring 12. Here, the plurality of second positioning portions 121 cooperate with the plurality of first positioning portions 111 to eccentrically mount the edge ring 12 to the upper surface of the tray body 11, so as to correct the film thickness of the edge of the wafer 13 carried by the tray body 11 and surrounded by the edge ring 12 in the subsequent thin film deposition process.
[0046] Specifically, the edge ring 12 can change the airflow and temperature field at the edge of the wafer 13 so that the deposition conditions at the edge of the wafer 13 are similar to those at the center, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the edge film being too thick or too thin.

Fig. 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the edge ring 12 is rotated to a corresponding angle according to the film thickness distribution at the edge of the wafer 13, and the edge ring 12 is eccentrically mounted to the upper surface of the tray body 11 via two first positioning portions 111 aligned with two second positioning portions 121, so as to correct the film thickness at the edge of the wafer 13 in the subsequent thin film deposition process.
[0055] In addition, in some preferred embodiments, the above-mentioned tray body 11 is connected to a rotating mechanism, which is used to rotate the tray body 11 according to the film thickness distribution at the edge of the wafer 13 after the edge ring 12 is eccentrically installed on the upper surface of the tray body 11, so as to correct the film thickness at the edge of the wafer 13 in the subsequent thin film deposition process.
[0056] In addition, in some optional embodiments, the wafer tray provided in the first aspect of the present invention further includes a controller. Here, the controller can be connected to the rotating mechanism to implement the thin film deposition method provided in the third aspect of the present invention.
[0057] Furthermore, in some optional embodiments, a heating element is integrated into the tray body 11 for heating the wafer 13 during the thin film deposition process.
[0058] The working principle of the above-mentioned thin film deposition device will be described below in conjunction with some embodiments of the thin film deposition method. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments of the thin film deposition method are only some non-limiting implementation methods 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 functions or all working modes of the thin film deposition device. Similarly, the thin film deposition device is only a non-limiting implementation method provided by the present invention, and does not constitute a limitation on the execution subject or execution order of each step in these thin film deposition methods.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 10 to Figure 12 . Fig.10 A schematic flow chart of a thin film deposition method provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Fig.11 A schematic diagram showing the position of the maximum distance between the wafer edge and the edge ring provided in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Fig.12 A schematic diagram showing the position of the minimum distance between the wafer edge and the edge ring provided in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0060] like Fig.10 As shown, the above-mentioned thin film deposition equipment provided by the second aspect of the present invention can first obtain the actual film thickness distribution of the edge of a wafer 13 and its corresponding target film thickness distribution, and determine the deposition thickness distribution of the edge of the wafer 13 by the thin film deposition process based on the difference between the two.
[0061] Specifically, in the above-mentioned thin film deposition process, there are product correction process scenarios in which the actual film thickness distribution is uneven but the target film thickness distribution is uniform, customized process scenarios in which the actual film thickness distribution is uniform but the target film thickness distribution is uneven, and error compensation process scenarios in which both the actual film thickness distribution and the target film thickness distribution are uniform but the film deposition rate is uneven.
[0062] Afterwards, the thin film deposition equipment can determine the direction of the maximum value based on the deposition thickness distribution.
[0063] Thereafter, the thin film deposition device may rotate the tray body 11 or the edge ring 12 of the wafer tray provided in the first aspect of the present invention, and rotate the farthest end of the edge ring 12 from the center of the tray body 11 to the direction of the maximum value.

[0065] Thereafter, the thin film deposition device may perform a thin film deposition process on the wafer 13 carried by the tray body 11 and surrounded by the edge ring 12 , so that the wafer 13 reaches a target film thickness distribution at its edge.
[0066] Please refer to Fig.13 and Fig.14 . Fig.13 A diagram showing the electron density distribution inside a wafer tray provided according to a reference example is shown. Fig.14 A diagram showing the electron density distribution inside a wafer tray provided by some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0067] Compared to Fig.14 The distance between the edge ring and the wafer of the present invention is shown as follows: Fig.13 The edge ring shown is closer to the wafer, the red area of electron density is larger, and its electron density is higher, so the deposition rate is higher and the film deposition is thicker. In this way, the wafer tray provided by the first aspect of the present invention can adjust the film thickness at the edge of the wafer 13 according to the distribution of film thickness on the surface of the wafer 13 during the film deposition process by eccentrically setting the edge ring 12 and the tray body 11, so as to improve the uniformity of the film deposited on the surface of the wafer 13.
[0068] In summary, the above-mentioned wafer tray, thin film deposition equipment and thin film deposition method provided by the present invention can all be used to adjust the distance between the edge ring and the edge of the wafer by setting an edge ring with a fixed eccentricity to the center of the tray body, thereby adjusting the film thickness at the edge of the wafer to improve the uniformity of the thin film deposited on the wafer surface.
