Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor wafer processing, and in particular to a semiconductor substrate processing device. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, a variety of deposition techniques are usually used to deposit multiple layers of materials on a semiconductor substrate. For example, a material layer is deposited on a semiconductor substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Chemical vapor deposition is a new technology for preparing inorganic materials developed in recent decades. The basic principle is to introduce a gaseous reactant (or a vapor of a liquid reactant) containing thin film elements into a reaction chamber, and then heat it at a high temperature in the reaction chamber to cause a chemical reaction (or use ionization technology) to generate the desired solid film and deposit it on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. For example, silane (SiH 4 ) and ammonia (NH 3 ) as a precursor gas, reacts at high temperature (600-900℃) to form a silicon nitride film, which is coated on the surface of the semiconductor wafer.

[0003] There are many technical problems in the existing semiconductor wafer plating process. First, the sealing effect of the feed port of the equipment is poor, and air is easily introduced, causing serious interference with the reaction process; second, the gas distribution and heating in the reaction pipeline are uneven, resulting in a low reaction rate, and the sediment is also easy to adhere to the tube wall during the descent process, resulting in uneven uniformity of the deposited film, reducing the plating quality; third, the exhaust gas generated in the reaction tube is difficult to be discharged to the outside in time due to the internal and external pressure difference, causing accumulation in the tube, interfering with the normal progress of the reaction, and easily introducing air in the process of exhausting to the outside, destroying the reaction environment.

On the other hand, the high-temperature exhaust gas is injected into the spiral coil and flows slowly along the spiral coil, transferring its own heat to the mixing barrel, preheating the two reaction gases in the mixing chamber and improving the mixing efficiency of the two, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0052] Specifically, the middle part of the crank 33 is spline-connected with a rotating shaft 35, and the rotating shaft 35 and the servo motor 34 are connected through a coupling. The servo motor 34 is arranged through the drive housing 32, and the end of the crank 33 is hinged with the upper end of the connecting rod 36. The connecting rod 36 moves in the drive housing 32, and the lower end of the connecting rod 36 is connected with a circular exhaust seat 37. The middle position of the upper end surface of the circular exhaust seat 37 is provided with a rod groove 38 for the connecting rod 36 to swing. The circular exhaust seat 37 is arranged in the mixing chamber against the wall, and a sealing ring 76 is arranged around the outer side surface of the circular exhaust seat 37. A plurality of groups of poking posts 39 are evenly distributed on the lower end surface of the circular exhaust seat 37, and the lower end of the poking post 39 is set as a slider, such as Figure 7 and 8 shown.

[0053] Among them, the poking column 39 passes through the air flow channel and extends into the vacuum deposition tube 40 during the downward movement (the cross-sectional area of ​​the poking column 39 is smaller than the air flow channel), and acts on the corresponding blocking ball 44. The poking column 39 corresponds to the eccentric position of the blocking ball 44, pushing the blocking ball 44 to leave the center position and move slightly outward.

[0054] Furthermore, a first air inlet pipe 72 and a second air inlet pipe 74 are respectively provided on both sides of the mixing cylinder 30, and a control valve is installed in the first air inlet pipe 72 and the second air inlet pipe 74.

[0056] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the device body 1 is connected to a first exhaust pipe 75 extending outwardly, and the first exhaust pipe 75 is connected to the interior of the device body 1, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0057] Furthermore, a vacuum pump 70 is installed on the upper end surface of the device body 1 to act on the inside of the device body 1. Figure 1 shown.

[0058] When the present embodiment is in use, the semiconductor wafers 11 to be deposited with a thin film layer are first placed on each tray 10 in turn, and then the hydraulic cylinder 5 is started, the hydraulic telescopic rod 4 is retracted, and the tooling seat 3 is driven to return to the interior of the equipment body 1 along the limiting guide groove 2, so that the semiconductor wafers 11 are respectively located directly below the vacuum deposition tube 40. During the return process, the curved pressure heads 13 at both ends of the sealing plate 12 are respectively in contact with the arc slider 86 of the air compression structure 8, and an extrusion force is generated on the movable rod 85, so that the movable rod 85 drives the gas plug seat 87 to move linearly (the return spring 88 is compressed), and the gas in the gas storage cavity 83 is squeezed. The gas enters the air guide tube 20 through the exhaust hole 89, and the two groups of air guide tubes 20 are used to inflate the sealing airbag 22, so that it slowly expands, extends out of the clamping groove, and contacts the outer surface of the sealing plate 12 (at this time, the sealing plate 12 is located in the inlet and outlet 15). The sealing airbag 22 and the sealing plate 12 are tightly fitted around one side, thereby strengthening the seal.

[0059] Then, the vacuum pump 70 is started to extract the air inside the equipment body 1 to create a vacuum environment, and the reaction gases in the first gas storage tank 71 and the second gas storage tank 73 are respectively introduced into the mixing chamber of the mixing barrel 30 through the air inlet pipe, and mixed in the mixing chamber. Then, the servo motor 34 is started to drive the crank 33 to make a circular motion. When the crank 33 makes a circular motion, it causes the movement of the connecting rod 36. The connecting rod 36 drives the circular exhaust seat 37 to move downward in the mixing chamber first, and squeezes the two reaction gases in the mixing chamber. When the circular exhaust seat 37 moves to a position close to the bottom of the mixing chamber, several groups of poking columns 39 extend into the corresponding vacuum deposition tube 40 through the air flow channel during the downward movement, squeezing out the blocked gas. The plugging ball 44 is located at the position of the port 43, so that the mixed gas in the mixing chamber is uniformly and synchronously injected into the heating section 45 of the vacuum deposition tube 40 from several groups of blocked gas ports 43, and then the connecting rod 36 drives the circular exhaust seat 37 to return upward. Under the condition that the poking column 39 leaves, the plugging ball 44 rolls back to the upper end of the blocked gas port 43 to achieve blocking. The high-temperature heating of the heater 46 causes the mixed gas in the heating section 45 to undergo a chemical reaction to generate solid particles and waste gas. The solid particles settle due to their own gravity and sink in the vacuum deposition tube 40, and are finally deposited on the corresponding semiconductor wafer 11, and are continuously plated to form a tight film. After the waste gas is generated, it rises due to the high temperature and is discharged outward from the first waste gas pipe 75.

[0060] When a chemical reaction occurs, the uniform speed motor 54 is started to drive the small gear 53 to rotate, and the large gear 52 is slowed down by meshing, thereby driving one group of vacuum deposition tubes 40 to rotate at a uniform speed, and through the connection between the synchronous sprocket 50 and the synchronous sprocket 50, each group of vacuum deposition tubes 40 rotates synchronously, thereby improving the reaction rate and the uniformity of deposition. Embodiment 2

[0061] On the basis of the first embodiment, on the one hand, the exhaust gas generated in the vacuum deposition tube 40 is difficult to be discharged in time due to the pressure difference between the inside and the outside, and it is easy to introduce air and damage the indoor environment. On the other hand, the exhaust gas carries high-temperature heat, and direct discharge to the outside will cause heat waste. In order to solve the above technical problems, we have the following design, such as Figure 10-13 shown.

[0062] Specifically, a pipe seat 60 is fixed at the middle position of the lower end surface of the mixing cylinder 30, and an annular gas collecting pipe 61 is installed at the lower end of the pipe seat 60. The vacuum deposition pipe 40 is evenly distributed on the periphery of the annular gas collecting pipe 61. Corresponding to the upper position of the vacuum deposition pipe 40 (the heated exhaust gas in the vacuum deposition pipe 40 is easy to gather at the upper position), a plurality of groups of sealed gas collecting covers 62 are evenly distributed around the outer tube surface of the annular gas collecting pipe 61, such as Fig.10 and 11 shown.

[0063] A moving track 63 is provided in the middle of the end surface of each group of sealed air collecting hoods 62. A perforated partition plate 64 connected to the inside of the annular air collecting pipe 61 is installed inside the sealed air collecting hood 62. A plurality of groups of air holes are evenly distributed on the perforated partition plate 64. A sliding rod 65 is horizontally installed in the middle of the perforated partition plate 64 extending outward. Fig.11 shown.

[0064] Furthermore, a rotary exhaust structure 9 that interacts with the sealed gas collecting hood 62 is installed at the upper outer side of each group of vacuum deposition tubes 40. The rotary exhaust structure 9 moves in a motion track 63 (the two are concentric circles). The motion track 63 plays a role of limiting and guiding. The sealed gas collecting hood 62 seals the moving rotary exhaust structure 9. The length of the sealed gas collecting hood 62 is greater than the moving rotary exhaust structure 9 (the rotary exhaust structure 9 moves slowly with the vacuum deposition tube 40). Fig.10 and 11 shown.

[0065] Specifically, the rotary exhaust structure 9 includes a bracket 91, a curved sealing port 92, a convex seal 93, a spring clamping groove 94, a connecting inner groove 95 and a sliding rod outer groove 96. Fig.12 shown.

[0066] In this embodiment, the bracket 91 is fixed to the outer side surface of the vacuum deposition tube 40, and a curved sealing opening 92 is opened through the middle of the bracket 91, and a convex sealer 93 is installed on the curved sealing opening 92. Spring grooves 94 are symmetrically opened on the bracket 91 and located on both sides of the curved sealing opening 92. A connecting inner groove 95 is opened on the bracket 91 and located at the upper and lower ends of the curved sealing opening 92. The connecting inner groove 95 is connected to the interior of the vacuum deposition tube 40, and a sliding rod outer groove 96 for the sliding rod 65 to move is opened on the outer end surface of the bracket 91.

[0067] Furthermore, the convex sealer 93 includes a sealing plate 931, a connecting piece 932, a connecting spring 933 and an arc convex surface 934. Fig.13 shown.

[0068] In this embodiment, the sealing plate 931 is sealed at the curved sealing opening 92 to form a seal, and the two are matched in size. A sealing strip is provided at the edge of the sealing plate 931, and connecting plates 932 are provided on both sides of the sealing plate 931. A connecting spring 933 extending into the spring slot 94 is fixed on the connecting plate 932. Under natural conditions, the connecting spring 933 generates a reset pulling force to make the sealing plate 931 tightly attached to the curved sealing opening 92. A circular arc convex surface 934 is provided on the middle outer surface of the sealing plate 931, and the circular arc convex surface 934 and the sliding rod 65 interact with each other.

[0069] Furthermore, a portion of the annular air collecting pipe 61 extends outward from the equipment body 1 and is connected to a suction pipe 66, and a suction pump 67 is installed in the middle of the suction pipe 66. Fig.10 and 11 shown.

[0070] Furthermore, a spiral coil 68 is disposed on the outer side of the mixing barrel 30, and the upper end of the suction pipe 66 is connected to the spiral coil 68. A heat preservation layer 69 is disposed around the outer side of the spiral coil 68. The heat preservation layer 69 plays a role in heat preservation. After the reaction gas is heated, the activity of the molecules increases significantly. Fig.10 shown.

[0071] The upper end of the spiral coil 68 is connected to a second exhaust pipe.

[0072] When the present embodiment is in use, when each group of vacuum deposition tubes 40 rotates, the rotary exhaust structure 9 outside the vacuum deposition tubes 40 will intermittently enter the sealed gas collecting cover 62 (enter once for each rotation), and make a circular motion along the motion track 63. During this process, the slide bar 65 on the sealed gas collecting cover 62 moves along the slide bar outer groove 96, contacts the sealing plate 931 and slides on it, and generates a relative force with the protruding arc convex surface 934, causing the sealing plate 931 to move (the connecting spring 933 is stretched), and the curved sealing port 92 and the connecting inner groove 95 are formed. The two vacuum tubes 40 and 40 are connected to each other, and the vacuum pump 67 is started at the same time, which acts on the suction pipe 66 and the annular gas collecting pipe 61 in turn, so that suction is generated at the position of the sealed gas collecting hood 62, and part of the high-temperature exhaust gas in the vacuum deposition tube 40 is sucked into the sealed gas collecting hood 62 through the curved sealing port 92 in time. The high-temperature exhaust gas is injected into the spiral coil 68 along the annular gas collecting pipe 61 and the suction pipe 66 in turn, and flows slowly along the spiral coil 68, transferring its own heat to the mixing barrel 30, preheating the two reaction gases in the mixing chamber, and then being discharged through the second exhaust pipe, and the operation is repeated in this way.
