Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a ceramic susceptor, and more particularly to a ceramic susceptor in which air pumping for purging is uniformly formed on the upper surface of the susceptor as a whole. Background Art

[0002] In general, semiconductor devices or display devices are manufactured by semiconductor engineering that patterns multiple thin film layers including dielectric layers and metal layers on glass substrates, flexible substrates or semiconductor wafer substrates. These thin film layers are sequentially deposited on substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes. The CVD process includes low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process, etc. In such CVD devices and PVD devices, a ceramic susceptor is provided, which is used to support glass substrates, flexible substrates, semiconductor wafer substrates, etc. and process semiconductor processes. The ceramic susceptor is provided in the CVD device and the PVD device, and may be provided with a suction cup electrode for supporting the substrate and a heating wire for heating the substrate in a heat treatment process, etc. In addition, the ceramic base may also form plasma in an etching process of a thin film layer formed on a substrate by providing a high frequency (RF) electrode instead of a heating wire, or by additionally providing a high frequency (RF) electrode.

[0003] However, since the conventional common ceramic pedestal has a structure in which the purge gas cannot be uniformly supplied to the entire upper surface of the pedestal when the purge gas is supplied through the configuration of the purge hole or groove on the upper surface on which the substrate is placed, there is a need to improve this point. That is, the purge structure of the conventional common ceramic pedestal has a structure in which the purge may not only be performed locally in a specific direction, or may be performed locally only in a specific direction. In this case, during the deposition process for the substrate on the ceramic pedestal disposed in the chamber of the device, the thin film may be deposited unevenly, which may lead to problems such as a reduction in yield or poor deposition performance.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a ceramic susceptor capable of uniformly performing purging in all directions where a substrate is placed. Summary of the invention

[0005] Problem that the invention aims to solve

[0006] Therefore, the present invention is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. The object of the present invention is to provide a base or ceramic base, which sets the correction hole for purging of the base body at the center of the base body, and makes the length of all fluid paths to the outermost edge the same through radially symmetrical branch flow paths, so that the air pumping for purging is uniformly formed on the upper surface of the base as a whole.

[0007] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a base or a ceramic base, wherein two flow paths formed on the shaft respectively form fluid communication with the purging correction hole and the chuck hole for vacuum suction of the base, thereby being able to compositely realize a purging function based on the purging correction hole and a vacuum suction cup function based on the suction cup hole.

[0043] Figure 1B FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a ceramic susceptor 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] Reference Figure 1A and Figure 1B The ceramic base 200 of the second embodiment is substantially the same as the ceramic base 100 according to the first embodiment, but is further provided with a first through-flow path 136-1 formed through the upper surface 119 of the insulating plate 110 and the lower surface 129 of the base 120. The first through-flow path 136-1 forms a chuck hole 91 for vacuum suction on the upper surface of the insulating plate 110, and the substrate 11 placed on the insulating plate 110 can be sucked and supported through the chuck hole 91.

[0045] Figure 1C FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a ceramic susceptor 300 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] Reference Figure 1C The ceramic base 300 of the third embodiment of the present invention is a modification of the ceramic base 200 of the second embodiment in which the electrode 112 is omitted, and the remaining structure is the same as the ceramic base 200 of the second embodiment.

[0047] That is, the base (ceramic base) 100, 200, 300 of the present invention includes an insulating plate 110 and a base 120 joined by an adhesive such as ceramic glue, and includes a hollow shaft 130 joined by an adhesive such as ceramic glue at the lower part of the base 120 to support the joined bodies 110 and 120. Depending on the situation, a connecting bracket 140 may be provided at the lower part of the shaft 130 to facilitate connection to a system such as a chamber of a semiconductor device.

[0048] Each power supply rod 131, 132, ..., etc. is accommodated in the internal space formed by the shaft 130, and can be connected to the electrode 112 and / or the heating element 114 embedded in the insulating plate 110 to supply the required power. Each power supply rod 131, 132, etc. extends from the internal space of the shaft 130 and passes through the connection bracket 140 having an outer side in a closed form (for example, a rigid body or a member having a hollow space) and then extends to the outside.

[0049] The ceramic pedestals 100, 200, 300 of the present invention may have a heating function for heating the corresponding processing target substrate 11 to a predetermined temperature in a semiconductor process using a heating element 114. In addition, the ceramic pedestals 100, 200 of the present invention may have an electrode 112, which may be used as a chuck electrode for performing an electrostatic chuck function for supporting the substrate 11 placed on the insulating plate 110, or may be used as a plasma electrode for performing a plasma generation function for a process such as dry etching in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition or reactive ion etching (RIE) equipment. This may be a function different from the vacuum chuck function for supporting the substrate 11 by vacuum suction of the chuck hole 91.

[0050] For this purpose, the insulating plate 110 may be configured such that the heating element 114 is arranged (buried) between ceramic materials, and depending on the situation, the electrode 112 may be arranged (buried) at a predetermined interval from the heating element 114. In addition, depending on the situation, the suction cup electrode (plural suction cup electrodes) may be arranged (buried) at a predetermined interval on the upper side or the lower side of the heating element 114.

[0051] As described above, the insulating plate 110 can be configured to be able to perform different semiconductor processes while stably supporting the processing target substrate by utilizing the heating of the heating body 114 and / or utilizing the electrostatic chuck function or plasma generation function of the electrode 112. The insulating plate 110 can be made of a plate-like structure having a predetermined shape. For example, the insulating plate 110 can be made of a circular plate-like structure, but is not limited to this. Among them, the ceramic material can be at least one of Al2O3, Y2O3, Al2O3 / Y2O3, ZrO2, AlC (Autoclaved lightweight concrete), TiN, AlN, TiC, MgO, CaO, CeO2, TiO2, BxCy, BN, SiO2, SiC, YAG, Mullite, and AlF3, preferably aluminum nitride (AlN). Furthermore, the powder of the ceramic material may be molded and sintered to form the insulating plate 110, and for this purpose, each ceramic powder may selectively include yttrium oxide powder in an amount of 0.1 to 10% (preferably about 1 to 5%).

[0052] The heating element (or heating electrode) 114 can be formed into a plate-like coil shape or a flat plate shape formed by a heating wire (or a resistance wire). In addition, the heating element 114 can be formed into a multilayer structure for precise temperature control. The heating element 114 is connected to a power supply through power supply rods 131 and 132, thereby forming a power supply, and in order to perform a heating or deposition process and an etching process of a substrate during a semiconductor process, the function of heating the processing target substrate 11 on the insulating plate 110 to a predetermined temperature can be performed. The power supply rods 131 and 132 pass through the internal space of the shaft 130 and penetrate the predetermined partition plate of the connecting bracket 140, and then penetrate the connecting bracket 140, thereby extending outward.

[0053] The electrode 112 may be made of tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), silver (Ag), gold (Au), niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti), aluminum nitride (AlN) or alloys thereof, preferably molybdenum (Mo). The electrode 112 may be connected to a power supply terminal (e.g., ground) by other power supply rods (not shown) other than the power supply rods 131 and 132 for the heating element 114. The power supply rod (not shown) for the electrode 112 also passes through the internal space of the shaft 130 and penetrates the predetermined partition plate of the connecting bracket 140, and then passes through the connecting bracket 140, thereby extending outward.

[0054] The shaft 130 is formed into a hollow type having a penetrated internal space, and is combined with the lower surface of the joint body of the insulating plate 110 and the base 120. The shaft 130 can be made of a ceramic material to be combined with the insulating plate 110. Among them, the ceramic material can be at least one of Al2O3, Y2O3, Al2O3 / Y2O3, ZrO2, AlC (Autoclaved lightweight concrete), TiN, AlN, TiC, MgO, CaO, CeO2, TiO2, BxCy, BN, SiO2, SiC, YAG, Mullite, and AlF3, preferably aluminum nitride (AlN). Furthermore, the powder of the ceramic material can be molded and sintered to form the shaft 130, and for this purpose, each ceramic powder can selectively include yttrium oxide powder in an amount of 0.1 to 10% (preferably about 1 to 5%).

[0055] The connecting bracket 140 may be made of a metal material such as aluminum (Al), or may be made of a ceramic material as described above. That is, the ceramic material may be at least one of Al2O3, Y2O3, Al2O3 / Y2O3, ZrO2, AlC (Autoclaved lightweight concrete), TiN, AlN, TiC, MgO, CaO, CeO2, TiO2, BxCy, BN, SiO2, SiC, YAG, Mullite, and AlF3, preferably aluminum nitride (AlN). Furthermore, the powder of the ceramic material may be molded and sintered to form the shaft 130, and for this purpose, each ceramic powder may selectively include yttrium oxide powder in an amount of 0.1 to 10% (preferably about 1 to 5%).

[0056] Re-reference Figures 1A to 1C, the substrate 120 joined to the lower part of the insulating plate 110 has a purge flow path 125. The upper end of the side wall of the hollow shaft 130 is joined to the substrate 120, and the shaft 130 has one or more first through holes 135 formed on its side wall and connected to the purge flow path 125. The substrate 120 can be made of a ceramic material. Among them, the ceramic material can be at least one of Al2O3, Y2O3, Al2O3 / Y2O3, ZrO2, AlC (Autoclaved lightweight concrete), TiN, AlN, TiC, MgO, CaO, CeO2, TiO2, BxCy, BN, SiO2, SiC, YAG, Mullite, and AlF3, preferably aluminum nitride (AlN). Furthermore, the powder of the ceramic material can be molded and sintered to form the shaft 130, and for this purpose, each ceramic powder can selectively include yttrium oxide powder in an amount of 0.1 to 10% (preferably about 1 to 5%).

[0057] The purge flow path 125 includes a correction flow path 121, a correction hole 122, and a plurality of branch flow paths 123. The correction flow path 121 is a flow path portion extending from the first through hole 135 of the shaft 130 to the correction hole 122 for correcting the path. The correction hole 122 may be designed to have a predetermined diameter greater than the diameter of the correction flow path 121, and may be vertically formed at an appropriate height on the upper surface of the insulating plate 110. The branch flow paths 123 are flow paths extending radially from the correction hole 122 to the edge of the base 120 (see Figure 2E , Figure 3E , Figure 4F , Fig. 5F , Fig. 6F , Figure 7F ).

[0058] As described in more detail below, the correction hole 122 is preferably located at the center of the base 120, but it can also be arranged at other positions according to the situation. In addition, a plurality of branch flow paths 123 are configured to be connected / communicated with the correction hole 122, and are preferably arranged at positions symmetrically formed with the correction hole 122 as the center. Although two of the more than one first through holes 135 formed on the side wall of the shaft 130 are shown in the drawings, one may be formed on the side wall of the shaft 130, or an appropriate number of more than three may be formed on the side wall of the shaft 130. Each correction flow path 121 extending from the plurality of through holes 135 as described above can be formed to meet at the correction hole 122 and extend radially together with the branch flow path 123.

[0059] The purge function can be performed by maintaining the first through hole 135 as described above at a positive pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. For example, the purge function can be performed by maintaining a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure through positive pressure air pumping (suction) based on the first through hole 135 of the shaft 130. At this time, a predetermined air pump (not shown) can perform pumping of injected air at a predetermined pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure through the first through hole 135. For example, the purge for blowing air containing a specified gas (for example, inert gases such as nitrogen, He, Ar, etc.) into the chamber of the above-mentioned CVD device and PVD device can be performed by positive pressure air pumping through the first through hole 135.

[0060] In addition to the common features of the ceramic bases 100, 200, and 300 as described above, Figure 1B In the case of the second embodiment, the ceramic base 200 further includes a first through-flow path 136-1, which is formed to penetrate between the upper surface 119 of the insulating plate 110 and the lower surface 129 of the base 120. Correspondingly, the shaft 130 may further include one or more second through holes 136 formed on its side wall and connected to the first through-flow path 136-1.

[0061] The second through hole 136 as described above can perform a vacuum suction cup function for sucking the substrate 11 arranged on the upper part of the insulating plate 110 by maintaining a negative pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure. That is, the first through flow path 136-1 forms a chuck hole 91 for vacuum suction on the upper surface of the insulating plate 110, and the substrate 11 placed on the insulating plate 110 can be sucked and supported through the chuck hole 91.

[0062] For example, one or more suction cup holes 91 exposed on the upper surface of the insulating plate 110 may meet a groove formed on the upper surface of the insulating plate 110. The groove formed on the upper surface of the insulating plate 110 may be implemented in various ways so as to be able to absorb and support the substrate 11 by relying on the negative pressure from the one or more suction cup holes 91. For example, the grooves formed on the upper surface of the insulating plate 110 may be designed to be connected as a whole so as to be able to stably absorb the substrate 11 by relying on the negative pressure from the suction cup holes 91.

[0063] As described above, the ceramic base 200 of the present invention is constructed to be able to achieve chucking and dechucking of the substrate 11 by pumping negative pressure air through the second through hole 136. At this time, while stably supporting the processing target substrate 11 on the insulating plate 110, various semiconductor processes such as heating based on the heating element 114 and / or plasma deposition or dry etching processes based on the electrode 112 can be performed.

[0064] According to the ceramic base 100, 200, 300 of the embodiments of the present invention, the correction hole 122 for purge is set at the center of the base 120, and the lengths of all fluid paths to the outermost (outermost) edge of the insulating plate 110 are formed to be the same through radially symmetrical branch flow paths 123, so that air pumping for purge can be uniformly formed on the entire upper surface of the base.

[0065] In addition, Figure 1B and Figure 1C In this case, the ceramic base 200 of the second embodiment can achieve a composite function, that is, a flow path formed on the shaft 130 and the purging correction hole 122 on the base form a fluid connection to perform an overall uniform purging function on the upper surface of the base, and other flow paths 136 formed on the shaft 130 and a chuck hole for vacuum suction on the base form a fluid connection to additionally perform a vacuum chuck function.

[0066] Below, by referring to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2E , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4G as well as FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G (It will Figure 1A The ceramic base 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention is described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the base is turned upside down and enlarged.
