[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a process chamber is provided, which is applied to semiconductor process equipment. The process chamber includes a chamber body 10, an air intake structure 20 and an exhaust structure 30. A film transfer port 101 and an air intake port 102 opposite to the film transfer port 101 are provided on the side wall of the chamber body 10; the air intake structure 20 includes an air intake hole 201, a first air chamber 202 and a second air chamber 203. The air intake hole 201 is used to introduce reaction gas. The air intake hole 201 is connected to the first air chamber 202. The first air chamber 202 is connected to the second air chamber 203 through a plurality of first uniform air holes 204. The air chamber 203 is connected, and the second air chamber 203 is connected to the air inlet 102 through a plurality of second air holes 205. The axes of the first air hole 204 and the second air hole 205 are respectively parallel to the wafer 40 in the chamber body 10. The first air hole 204 and the second air hole 205 are circular, rectangular or polygonal through holes. The shapes of the first air hole 204 and the second air hole 205 can be designed according to actual conditions, or can be conveniently processed; the exhaust structure 30 has an exhaust channel 301, and the exhaust channel 301 is connected to the wafer transfer port 101. Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the chamber body 10 encloses an operating space for processing the wafer 40, and the wafer 40 to be processed is placed at the processing position in the operating space. The chamber body 10 is generally a cylinder, but it can also be other shapes, such as a rectangular parallelepiped. The wafer transfer port 101 is arranged on the side wall of the chamber body 10, and the wafer transfer port 101 is connected to the operating space of the chamber body 10, and the wafer 40 can be transferred into or out of the operating space through the wafer transfer port 101; the air inlet 102 is arranged on the side wall of the chamber body 10, and the air inlet 102 is connected to the operating space, and the reaction gas is transported to the operating space through the air inlet 102; the air inlet hole 201 is arranged below the air inlet structure 20 and is connected to the first air chamber 202, the air inlet hole 201 is connected to the gas source through an external connecting pipe, and the reaction gas is provided to the first air chamber 202. Of course, the air inlet hole 201 can also be arranged above the air inlet structure 20 or at other positions, and there is no limitation here; a plurality of first uniform air holes 204 are arranged between the first air chamber 202 and the second air chamber 203, and a plurality of first uniform air holes 204 are arranged between the second air chamber 203 and the air inlet 102 A plurality of second uniform air holes 205 are provided. Since the axes of the first uniform air holes 204 and the second uniform air holes 205 are respectively parallel to the wafer 40 in the chamber body 10, the airflow entering through the first uniform air holes 204 and the second uniform air holes 205 can enter the chamber body 10 horizontally. The first air chamber 202 and the second air chamber 203 are connected with the interior of the chamber body 10 in sequence, wherein the reaction gas vertically enters the first air chamber 202 through the air inlet 201, and the first air chamber 202 can convert the vertical airflow into a horizontal direction. The plurality of first uniform air holes 204 can evenly transport the airflow to the second air chamber 203. The airflow entering the second air chamber 203 is diffusely distributed and then uniformly distributed again through the second uniform air holes 205 to enter the process chamber, and then enters the exhaust channel 301 of the exhaust structure 30 through the wafer transfer port 101 to exit the process chamber. In the present embodiment, the exhaust structure 30 includes a gas plug 31 and an exhaust pipe 32 having an exhaust channel 301 therein. The exhaust pipe 32 is fixedly mounted on the gas plug 31. The gas plug 31 has a first channel 311 and a second channel 312 that are interconnected, wherein the first channel 311 is connected to the wafer transfer port 101, and the second channel 312 is connected to the exhaust channel 301. When the wafer 40 is transferred, the external air will enter the chamber body 10 along with the wafer 40 through the first channel 311 and the wafer transfer port 101 in sequence. At this time, the reaction gas enters the chamber body 10 through the air inlet 102 through the air inlet structure 20. Since the positions of the wafer transfer port 101 and the air inlet 102 are relative, the reaction gas and the air collide, thereby inhibiting the air from entering the process chamber, and being able to transfer the gas out of the process chamber through the second channel 312 and the exhaust channel 301 in sequence. Therefore, after the transfer is completed, the air cleaning time can be reduced, and the process stage can be directly entered, thereby improving the production capacity of the wafer 40. Figure 3It can be seen that in this embodiment, when the airflow changes from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, the gas will flow more evenly along the horizontal direction on the surface of the wafer, and will be evenly discharged by the exhaust structure 30, avoiding airflow turbulence caused by unnecessary eddy currents, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the film thickness, which has a significant effect on improving the overall process quality.

[0025] By applying the above technical solution of the present invention, the film transmission port 101 and the air inlet 102 are relatively arranged on the side wall of the chamber body 10, so that the air inlet 102 and the film transmission port 101 are respectively located on different sides of the chamber body 10, and the air inlet structure 20 and the exhaust structure 30 are respectively arranged at the air inlet 102 and the film transmission port 101, and the air inlet hole 201, the first air chamber 202 and the second air chamber 203 are arranged in the air inlet structure 20, and the first air chamber 202 and the second air chamber 203 are connected through the first uniform air hole 204, and the second air chamber 203 and the interior of the chamber body 10 are connected through the second uniform air hole 205, so that the reaction gas vertically entering the first air chamber 202 through the air inlet hole 201 is diffused and distributed, and then uniformly gasified through the first uniform air hole 204, and then horizontally enters the second air chamber 203, and then further diffused through the second air chamber 203 and the second uniform air hole 205. After being distributed and evenly distributed, the gas enters the process chamber horizontally, so that the reaction gas can be horizontally inlet in the first air chamber 202 connected to the air inlet 201, and then enters the process chamber layer by layer for even flow, avoiding the poor effect of even flow first and then changing the direction of the airflow entering the chamber, thereby improving the uniformity of the airflow field in the process area of ​​the process chamber and the uniformity of the process, thereby improving the process quality; by arranging the film transfer port 101 and the air inlet 102 on the side wall of the chamber body 10 relatively, and arranging the air inlet structure 20 and the exhaust structure 30 at the air inlet 102 and the film transfer port 101 respectively, the reaction gas flows into the film transfer port 101 through the chamber body 10 through the air inlet 102, and then is discharged from the chamber body 10 through the exhaust structure 30, thereby preventing air from entering the chamber body 10 through the film transfer port 101, thereby improving the production capacity of the wafer 40.
