[0042] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the architecture of a metal evaporation system provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the metal evaporation system includes a control device and an evaporation device, and the control device can be connected to the evaporation device for communication, wherein the control device can be an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, a desktop computer, or other terminal device with computing and display capabilities, or can also be a server. The control device executes the method steps of the present application.
[0043] The evaporation device may include an evaporation chamber, an evaporation table in the evaporation chamber, a heating lamp, a nitrogen injection branch, a high vacuum branch, and a vacuum speed control branch. One side of the evaporation chamber is connected to the nitrogen injection branch, the high vacuum branch, and the vacuum speed control branch, respectively. The high vacuum branch and the vacuum speed control branch are both connected to the vacuum pump group.
[0044] Among them, the vacuum pumping speed of the high vacuum branch is higher than the vacuum pumping speed of the vacuum speed control branch. The vacuum pumping speed of the high vacuum branch is fixed, and the vacuum pumping speed of the vacuum speed control branch is variable. Specifically, the vacuum pumping speed can be controlled based on the opening size of the butterfly valve in the vacuum speed control branch.

[0046] The evaporation chamber also includes a vacuum gauge and a thermometer, which can measure the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber and feed back the vacuum degree to the control device.
[0047] The control device can control the valves on each branch of the evaporation device, control the opening and closing of the vacuum pump group, and control the opening and closing of the baking lamp in the evaporation chamber.
[0048] Figure 2 The following is a schematic flow chart of a metal evaporation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be completed by the above-mentioned control device, for example. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:
[0049] S101, placing a silicon wafer to be evaporated on an evaporation table in an evaporation chamber, and controlling the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber to be in a first vacuum range.
[0050] Optionally, the evaporation table is located at the upper end of the evaporation chamber, and after the silicon wafer to be evaporated is placed on the evaporation table of the evaporation chamber, the control device can control the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber to be in a first vacuum interval. The first vacuum interval can indicate that the evaporation chamber has reached a high vacuum state.
[0051] S102, introducing nitrogen into the evaporation chamber, and adjusting the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber during the nitrogen introduction process, so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in a second vacuum range.
[0052] The vacuum degree in the first vacuum interval is greater than the vacuum degree in the second vacuum interval, that is, the minimum vacuum degree in the first vacuum interval is greater than the maximum vacuum degree in the second vacuum interval.
[0053] Optionally, when the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the first vacuum interval, the control device can control the evaporation device to pass nitrogen into the evaporation chamber in the evaporation device, and the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber can also be adjusted during the process of passing nitrogen. Specifically, when nitrogen is passed into the evaporation chamber, the vacuum gauge in the evaporation chamber can also detect the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber in real time, and send the detected vacuum degree to the control device, and the control device adjusts the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber according to the received vacuum degree.
[0054] Among them, when the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the second vacuum range, it means that the evaporation chamber is in an anaerobic state at this time, which can avoid oxidation of metal and silicon wafers to be evaporated, and heat conduction inside the evaporation chamber can be achieved in the second vacuum range.
[0055] S103, controlling the baking lamp in the evaporation chamber to light up, so as to heat and bake the evaporation chamber through the baking lamp and the nitrogen in the evaporation chamber, so that the temperature of the evaporation chamber is within a first temperature range.
[0056] Optionally, when the control device receives feedback from the vacuum gauge in the evaporation chamber that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the second vacuum range, the control device can control the heating lamp in the evaporation chamber to light up. At this time, since there is nitrogen in the evaporation chamber, the evaporation chamber can be heated and baked by the heating lamp and the nitrogen in the evaporation chamber. At the same time, the thermometer in the evaporation chamber can feed back the temperature of the evaporation chamber to the control device in real time, and the control device can control the heating lamp to heat and bake the evaporation chamber to the first temperature range. In the first temperature range, the water vapor in the evaporation chamber can be removed, and the organic matter on the surface of the evaporation chamber can also be separated and removed.
[0057] Optionally, during the heating process, the evaporation chamber can be heated and baked by a baking lamp and nitrogen at the same time to increase the heating rate. Thermal radiation is light irradiation under vacuum conditions. Gas is added on the basis of thermal radiation. The heating and cooling rates can be increased through the effect of gas carrying, thereby improving the efficiency of the operation process.
[0058] S104, when the temperature in the evaporation chamber is in the second temperature range, adjusting the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber to a third vacuum range, and evaporating the first metal, evaporating the first metal onto the silicon wafer to be evaporated, to obtain a first alloy.
[0059] The second temperature interval is included in the first temperature interval, and the second temperature interval is a high temperature interval in the first temperature interval. The vacuum degree in the second vacuum interval is less than the vacuum degree in the third vacuum interval, that is, the maximum vacuum degree in the second vacuum interval is less than the minimum vacuum degree in the third vacuum interval.
[0060] Optionally, the control device receives the temperature feedback from the thermometer in the evaporation chamber. When the control device determines that the temperature in the evaporation chamber is stably in the second temperature range based on the received temperature, the control device adjusts the vacuum degree in the evaporation chamber to the third vacuum range. When the temperature in the evaporation chamber is in the second temperature range and the vacuum degree in the evaporation chamber is in the third vacuum range, the first metal is evaporated. Specifically, the first metal can be evaporated using an electronic cavity. The first metal is evaporated onto the surface of the silicon wafer to be evaporated, thereby realizing the alloying process of the first metal and the silicon wafer to be evaporated, and obtaining the first alloy, wherein the first metal can be metallic aluminum.
[0061] Optionally, the temperature in the second temperature range is higher than the temperature when evaporating aluminum in the conventional process, which can effectively achieve effective ohmic contact between the first metal and the silicon wafer, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the product and reducing the need for alloying processes after evaporation in the prior art, thereby reducing the number of times the silicon wafer enters and exits the evaporation chamber, reducing work intensity, and avoiding potential unnecessary pollution.
[0062] S105 , controlling the temperature in the evaporation chamber to be in a third temperature range, and evaporating each metal after the first metal in turn.
[0063] The temperature in the third temperature interval is lower than the temperature in the first temperature interval, that is, the maximum temperature in the third temperature interval is lower than the minimum temperature in the first temperature interval.
[0064] Optionally, when the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the third vacuum range, the temperature in the evaporation chamber is adjusted from the second temperature range to the temperature in the third temperature range, and each metal after the first metal is evaporated in sequence. The metals after the first metal may include titanium, nickel and silver.
[0065] Optionally, the evaporation chamber may also include a dry pot, each of which is used to place a metal. When evaporating each metal after the first metal, the metals after the first metal can be evaporated by switching the dry pot and switching the dry pot to a preset evaporation position. Specifically, after evaporating the first metal, the dry pot containing titanium can be switched to a preset evaporation position to evaporate titanium. When titanium evaporates to the surface of the silicon wafer and reaches a certain thickness, the dry pot containing nickel is switched to a preset evaporation position to evaporate nickel. When nickel evaporates to the surface of the silicon wafer and reaches a certain thickness, the dry pot containing silver is switched to a preset evaporation position to evaporate silver, so that silver evaporates to the surface of the silicon wafer and reaches a certain thickness before the evaporation is stopped.
[0066] Optionally, by evaporating titanium and nickel first and then evaporating silver, titanium, nickel and silver are combined together to effectively prevent the silver from falling off.
[0067] In this embodiment, the silicon wafer to be evaporated is placed on an evaporation table in an evaporation chamber, and when the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is controlled to be in a first vacuum interval, nitrogen is introduced into the evaporation chamber, and the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is adjusted during the nitrogen introduction process. When the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in a second vacuum interval, the baking lamp in the evaporation chamber is controlled to light up, so that the evaporation chamber is heated and baked by the baking lamp and the nitrogen in the evaporation chamber, and the temperature of the evaporation chamber is in the first temperature interval; in the first temperature interval, the water vapor in the evaporation chamber can be removed, and the organic matter on the surface of the evaporation chamber can also be separated and removed; when the temperature in the evaporation chamber is in the second temperature interval, the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is adjusted to a third vacuum interval, and the first metal is evaporated, and the first metal is evaporated to the silicon wafer to be evaporated to obtain a first alloy; effective ohmic contact between the first metal and the silicon wafer can be effectively achieved, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the product, and reducing the process of alloying after the evaporation in the prior art, thereby reducing the number of times the silicon wafer enters and exits the evaporation chamber, reducing the work intensity, and also avoiding potential unnecessary pollution. The temperature in the evaporation chamber is controlled to be in the third temperature range, and each metal after the first metal is evaporated in turn, which can effectively prevent the silver from falling off.
[0068] Optionally, in the above step S101, controlling the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber to be in the first vacuum range may include:
[0069] Specifically, the second valve in the high vacuum branch can be opened to control the vacuum pump group to evacuate the evaporation chamber until the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the first vacuum interval, and then the second valve is closed. When the second valve in the high vacuum branch is opened, the first valve and the butterfly valve in the vacuum speed control branch are closed, and the third valve and the fourth valve in the nitrogen injection branch are also closed. At this time, only the second valve in the high vacuum branch needs to be opened to control the vacuum pump group to evacuate the evaporation chamber at a high speed, so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is any vacuum degree in the first vacuum interval.
[0070] The first vacuum interval can be 1E -3 Toor~1E -5 Toor.
[0071] Optionally, in the above step S102, nitrogen is introduced into the evaporation chamber, and the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is adjusted during the nitrogen introduction process so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the second vacuum range, which may include:
[0072] Specifically, the third valve and the fourth valve in the nitrogen injection branch can be opened, and the first valve and the butterfly valve in the vacuum speed control branch can be opened. Nitrogen can be injected into the evaporation chamber through the third valve and the fourth valve, and the speed at which the vacuum pump group evacuates the evaporation chamber can be controlled through the butterfly valve, so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the second vacuum range.
[0073] Optionally, when the control device controls the third valve and the fourth valve to open, nitrogen can be injected into the evaporation chamber, and the mass flow meter can collect and control the flow rate of the injected nitrogen. When the nitrogen is injected into the evaporation chamber, the vacuum degree in the evaporation chamber will also change. The control device can receive the vacuum degree feedback from the vacuum gauge, and control the opening size of the butterfly valve based on the received vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber, thereby controlling the speed at which the vacuum pump group evacuates the evaporation chamber, ensuring that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the second vacuum range, that is, ensuring that the evaporation chamber is in anaerobic conditions, avoiding oxidation of metals and silicon wafers, and at the same time achieving effective heat conduction inside the evaporation chamber.
[0074] The second vacuum range is that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the range of 50 to 500 MToor.
[0075] Optionally, controlling the lighting of the heating lamp in the evaporation chamber in S103 may include:
[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the baking lamp in the evaporation chamber is located at the bottom of the evaporation chamber and includes multiple baking lamps. When the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the second vacuum range, the control device can control the multiple baking lamps to light up at the same time. At this time, the baking lamp realizes heat radiation under vacuum conditions, and the evaporation chamber also contains nitrogen. Through the effect of gas carrying, the speed of temperature rise in the evaporation chamber is increased, and the working efficiency is improved, so that the temperature of the evaporation chamber is in the first temperature range, wherein the first temperature range is 200 degrees to 400 degrees.
[0077] Optionally, in the above step S104, adjusting the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber to the third vacuum range may include:
[0078] Optionally, when the temperature of the evaporation chamber is in the second temperature range, the nitrogen injection branch and the vacuum speed control branch are controlled to be closed, and the high vacuum branch is opened, and the vacuum pump group is controlled to evacuate the evaporation chamber so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the third vacuum range.
[0079] Specifically, when the temperature of the evaporation chamber is in the second temperature range, that is, when the temperature feedback received by the control device from the thermometer in the evaporation chamber is stable in the second temperature range, the third valve and the fourth valve on the nitrogen injection branch are controlled to be closed, the first valve and the butterfly valve on the vacuum speed control branch are controlled to be closed, and the second valve on the high vacuum branch is controlled to be opened. The vacuum pump group can perform high-speed vacuum operation on the evaporation chamber through the second valve so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the third vacuum range.
[0080] Among them, the third vacuum interval is the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is less than 1E -3 The second temperature range is 300 to 400 degrees.
[0081] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the evaporation chamber is stable in the second temperature range, that is, stable between 300 degrees and 400 degrees, and the vacuum degree is less than 1E -3 When Toor is used, aluminum can be evaporated so that aluminum evaporates from the surface of the silicon wafer and an alloy process of the silicon wafer and aluminum can be achieved, thereby reducing the on-resistance of the product and avoiding the need for an alloy process after the existing evaporation.
[0082] Optionally, in the above step S105, controlling the temperature of the evaporation chamber to be in the third temperature range may include:
[0083] Optionally, when aluminum evaporation is completed, the control device can turn off the heating lamp in the evaporation chamber, close the second valve in the high vacuum branch, and open the nitrogen injection branch and the vacuum speed control branch. Specifically, the third valve and the fourth valve on the nitrogen injection branch can be opened, and the first valve and the butterfly valve on the vacuum speed control branch can be opened. When the heating lamp is turned off, the temperature in the evaporation chamber drops.
[0084] Optionally, when the third valve and the fourth valve on the nitrogen injection branch are opened, and the first valve and the butterfly valve on the vacuum speed control branch are opened, nitrogen can be injected into the evaporation chamber through the nitrogen injection branch. At the same time, during the process of injecting nitrogen, the vacuum degree in the evaporation chamber will change. The control device can control the size of the butterfly valve on the vacuum speed control branch based on the received vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber, thereby controlling the speed at which the vacuum pump group evacuates the evaporation chamber, so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is maintained in the fourth vacuum range. During this process, the temperature of the evaporation chamber decreases. When the temperature of the evaporation chamber drops to the third temperature range, the nitrogen injection branch and the vacuum speed control branch are closed, and the high vacuum branch is opened to control the vacuum pump group to evacuate the evaporation chamber at a high speed, so that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is in the third vacuum range.
[0085] Then, the conditions for evaporating the metals after the first metal are different from the conditions for evaporating the first metal, that is, the temperature for evaporating the metals after the first metal is lower than the temperature for evaporating the first metal.
[0086] The third temperature range is 140 to 200 degrees, and the fourth vacuum range is that the vacuum degree of the evaporation chamber is 300 to 700 MToor.
[0087] Optionally, after evaporation of all metals after the first metal is completed, the evaporated silicon wafer can be taken out from the evaporation table, thus achieving the integration of the original manufacturing process.
