Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with application date of August 5, 2019, application number 201910717056.1, and invention name “Design of substrate support for deposition chamber”. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure generally relates to apparatus and methods for substrate supports, such as pedestals or electrostatic adsorption devices, for supporting a substrate in a deposition chamber. Background Art
[0003] Integrated circuits have evolved into complex devices that may include millions of components (e.g., transistors, capacitors, resistors, and the like) on a single chip. Advances in chip design have required faster circuits and greater circuit density, and the need for greater circuit density has necessitated a reduction in the size of integrated circuit components. For example, an ultra-large scale integrated (ULSI) circuit device may include more than one million electronic devices (e.g., transistors) formed on a semiconductor substrate (such as a silicon (Si) substrate) that cooperate to perform various functions within the device.
[0004] Electrostatic chucks or ESCs are commonly used to hold substrates on substrate supports within deposition or etching chambers to form these devices. The temperature uniformity of the substrate, which provides uniform film deposition on the substrate, is affected by the temperature of the substrate support. Typically, the ESC is coupled to a ground potential. However, electromagnetic energy from the ground can adversely affect the operation of the temperature monitoring device. In addition, chamber cleaning processes often use gases that are corrosive to the ESC hardware, which can shorten the life of the ESC.
[0005] What is needed is a method and apparatus that alleviates one or more of the problems discussed above. Summary of the invention

[0036] Figure 1A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the deposition chamber 100 . Figure 1B is along Figure 1A 1B-1B of the top plan view of the deposition chamber 100. The deposition chamber 100 includes a body 105 that houses a substrate support 110. A showerhead or perforated panel 115 is positioned above the substrate support 110. The substrate support 110 may also support an electrostatic chuck, a vacuum chuck, or other suction device to hold the substrate thereon during processing. The perforated panel 115 distributes gas from a gas source 120, which forms a film on a substrate (not shown) supported by the substrate support 110. The substrate support 110 and the substrate positioned thereon are heated by a lamp head 125 disposed below the substrate support 110. The lamp head 125 includes a plurality of lamps 130. The lamp head 125 is suitable for heating the substrate support 110 to a temperature between about 400 degrees Celsius and about 480 degrees Celsius. The lamp head 125 is separated from the chamber volume by an optically transparent plate 135.
[0037] The substrate support 110 is at least partially surrounded by a hoop structure 140 that is used to facilitate transfer of substrates to and from the substrate support 110. The substrate support 110 is coupled to a motor 145 that is adapted to raise and lower the substrate support 110 relative to the hoop structure 140 in the Z direction. For example, to remove a substrate from the substrate support 110, the substrate support 110 is lowered while the substrate is suspended by the hoop structure 140. Thereafter, the robot blade enters the transfer port 150 ( Figure 1B as shown) and removing the substrate from the hoop structure 140.
[0038] The perforated panel 115 is coupled to a power source 155, such as a radio frequency power source. The perforated panel 115 is a conductive metal material, such as aluminum, and the power source 155 energizes the perforated panel 115 to generate a plasma between the perforated panel 115 and the grounded substrate support 110. Energizing the perforated panel 115 to form a plasma is typically used during a cleaning process, where a cleaning gas (such as chlorine, fluorine, or other cleaning gas) is decomposed into radical species to clean the deposition chamber 100. Excess gas is removed from the deposition chamber 100 via a pumping channel 160 surrounding the interior of the deposition chamber 100. An endpoint detection device 165 is coupled to the deposition chamber 100. The endpoint detection device 165 is an optical device that observes the interior of the deposition chamber 100 through a window 170.
[0039] refer to Figure 1B , the substrate support 110 is cantilevered and coupled to a support arm 175. The support arm 175 also contains electrical leads, such as a ground cable and temperature sensor leads, both of which will be explained in more detail below.
[0040] Figure 2A is an isometric view illustrating one embodiment of a substrate support 200 . Figure 2B yes Figure 2A The substrate support 200 can be used as an exploded view of the substrate support 200. Figure 1A and 1B The substrate support 110 in the deposition chamber 100 is shown.
[0041] Figure 3A is an isometric view illustrating another embodiment of a substrate support 300 . Figure 3B yes Figure 3A The substrate support 300 can be used as an exploded view of the substrate support 300. Figure 1A and 1B The substrate support 110 in the deposition chamber 100 is shown.
[0042] The substrate support 200 and the substrate support 300 both share common components, with at least one difference. The substrate support 300 includes a backing plate 305, while the substrate support 200 does not have a backing plate 305. The backing plate 305 is an aluminum oxide material.
[0043] Components common to both substrate supports 200 and 300 include a substrate receiving surface 202 having a plurality of raised features or protrusions 204, a support arm 175, a hollow shaft 205 coupled to the support arm 175, a ground cable 210, and a dielectric cover 215. A temperature sensor 230 is housed and / or guided to a body 235 of the respective substrate support 200 and 300 using a spacing member 220 and a cable guide 225. The various components are secured to each other and / or to the body 235 using fasteners 240. A dielectric cover 245 is positioned at an interface portion 250 of the support arm 175. Many of these components will be described in more detail below.
[0044] Figure 4A is an isometric cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a substrate support 400. The substrate support 400 includes a body 235, which may be Figure 2A and 2B The substrate support 200 or Figure 3A and 3B The substrate support 300 of the embodiment of the present invention is shown as having a body 235. The substrate receiving surface 202 is shown as having a plurality of protrusions 204, which support a substrate (not shown). In addition, a center connector 405 is shown extending from the bottom surface 410 of the body 235. The center connector 405 is used to connect the ground cable 210 ( Figure 2B and 3B ) is connected to the main body 235.
[0045] Figure 4B Shows Figure 4A 2 is an enlarged cross-section of a portion of the body 235 shown in FIG. The body 235 is a ceramic material, such as aluminum nitride (AlN). The body 235 includes a substrate recess 415 recessed from an upper surface 420 of the body 235. Positioned below the substrate recess 415 at a distance 425 is a thin sheet or foil 430. The foil 430 is a graphite material. In one embodiment, the distance 425 is about 0.01 inches to about 0.03 inches. In one embodiment, the thickness 435 of the foil 430 is about 0.01 inches to about 0.03 inches. A mesh 440 made of a thermally and / or electrically conductive material, such as molybdenum (Mo), is positioned below the foil 430.
[0046] The mesh 440 is embedded in the body 235 of a substantially dielectric material (e.g., ceramic) and serves as an electrode within the body 235. The foil 430 positioned between the substrate pockets 415 and the mesh 440 serves to enhance the temperature distribution within and / or on the body 235. The enhanced temperature uniformity increases the temperature uniformity of a substrate positioned on the substrate receiving surface 202.
[0047] Figure 5Ais an isometric cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a substrate support 500. The substrate support 500 includes a body 235, which may be Figure 2A and 2B The substrate support 200 or Figure 3A and 3B The substrate support 300 of the embodiment of the present invention is shown as having a body 235. The substrate receiving surface 202 is shown as having a plurality of protrusions 204, which support a substrate (not shown). In addition, a center connector 405 is shown extending from the bottom surface 410 of the body 235. The center connector 405 is used to connect the ground cable 210 ( Figure 2B and 3B ) is connected to the main body 235.
[0048] Figure 5B Shows Figure 5A 2 is an enlarged cross-section of a portion of the body 235 shown in FIG. The body 235 is a ceramic material, such as aluminum nitride (AlN). The body 235 includes a substrate recess 415 recessed from the upper surface 420 of the body 235. Positioned at a distance 425 below the substrate recess 415 is a first thin sheet or foil 505. The first foil 505 is a graphite material. The distance 425 and / or the thickness 435 of the foil 505 can vary according to the specific process. A mesh 440 made of a thermally conductive material, such as molybdenum (Mo), is positioned below the first foil 505. A second thin sheet or foil 510 is positioned below the mesh 440. The second foil 510 is a zirconium-containing material, such as zirconium oxide (ZrO2). The thickness 515 of the second foil 510 and the distance 520 of the second foil 510 from the bottom surface 410 of the body 235 can vary according to the specific process.
[0049] The mesh 440 is embedded in the body 235, which is a substantially dielectric material (e.g., ceramic), and serves as an electrode within the body 235. The first foil 505 positioned between the substrate recess 415 and the mesh 440 serves to enhance the temperature distribution within and / or on the body 235. The enhanced temperature uniformity increases the temperature uniformity of the substrate positioned on the substrate receiving surface 202. The second foil 510 serves as a thermal barrier at the bottom surface 410 of the body 235. The second foil 510 may also increase the life of the body 235 of the substrate support 500.
[0050] Fig. 6A is an exploded partial cross-sectional view of the interface portion 250 of the main body 235 and the support arm 175. Fig. 6A The view shown in FIG. 1 may be any of the substrate supports 200 , 300 , or 400 described herein. Portions of the interface portion 250 of the support arm 175 are shown in phantom to illustrate the location of the ground cable 210 and the temperature sensor 230 .
[0051] Specifically, the temperature sensor 230 includes a temperature sensor cable 600, and the temperature sensor cable 600 is connected between the sensor head 605 of the temperature sensor 230 and the hollow shaft 205 ( Figures 2A-3B 4 and 5. The temperature sensor cable 600 is placed in the vicinity of the ground cable 210, which also extends in or along the support arm 175 between the hollow shaft 205 and the center joint 405. This proximity between the temperature sensor cable 600 and the ground cable 210 introduces noise (e.g., electromagnetic interference) into the temperature sensor cable 600. The noise may interfere with the normal operation and / or signals received from the temperature sensor 230. However, the spacing member 220 and the cable guide 225 are used to minimize or eliminate the introduction of noise from the ground cable 210 and the temperature sensor cable 600.
[0052] Figure 6B and 6C 600 and the sensor head 605. The temperature sensor cable 600 is oriented approximately 90 degrees to the direction of the sensor head 605 so that the sensor head 605 is docked with the body 235 from the (horizontal) orientation of the support arm 175.
[0053] The spacing member 220 and the cable guide 225 each include a conductive coating 620. For example, the surfaces of the spacing member 220 and the cable guide 225 close to one or both of the ground cable 210 and the temperature sensor cable 600 include the coating 620. The coating 620 may be gold (Au), silver (Ag), silicon (Si), nickel (Ni), or other conductive substances. The coating 620 is used to improve the grounding of the spacing member 220 and / or the cable guide 225.
[0054] Fig.6D Another embodiment of electrically isolating the ground cable 210 from the temperature sensor cable 600 is shown. In this embodiment, Fig. 6A and 6C The cable guide 225 is used together with a plurality of dielectric members 625. The plurality of dielectric members 625 can be used to replace Fig. 6A and 6B The spacing member 220 shown in FIG. Each of the dielectric members 625 is substantially annular, such as Fig. 6EEach of the dielectric members 625 includes a central opening 630 sized to receive the temperature sensor cable 600. Each of the dielectric members 625 may be made of a ceramic material or a quartz material.

The central opening 715 includes a curved portion 720 that terminates in a radially oriented groove 725. The central opening 715, the curved portion 720, and the radially oriented groove 725 serve as a guide for the grounding cable 210. The dielectric cover 245 is made of a quartz material. The dielectric cover 245 seals the interface portion 250 of the support arm 175 to prevent the ingress of cleaning gases such as fluorine and / or chlorine radicals from reaching the connection between the grounding cable 210 and the center joint 405. Typically, the grounding cable 210 is coupled to the center joint 405 by a brazed joint, and the cleaning gas tends to penetrate the brazed joint and may also cause the mesh 440 ( Figure 4B and 5B However, the dielectric cap 245 prevents free radicals from entering the interface portion 250 of the support arm 175, which increases the life of the substrate support 700.
[0058] Fig. 8A is an isometric view of one embodiment of support arm 175 . Figure 8B 8B-8B is a cross-sectional view of support arm 175.

The large groove 820A is sized to receive the ground cable 210 (also Figure 2B , 3B and 6B). The recessed surface 832 is sized to receive the dielectric cover plate 215 (also shown in FIG. Figure 2B , 3B and 6B).
[0060] At least a portion of the groove 800 includes a coating 830. For example, the coating 830 is disposed on the large groove 820A. The coating 830 can be gold (Au), silver (Ag), silicon (Si), nickel (Ni) or other conductive materials. The coating 830 is used to improve the grounding performance of the ground cable 210.

[0062] Base materials for the body 235 of the substrate support 900 include graphite, aluminum nitride (AlN), silicon carbide (SiC), magnesium fluoride, or other suitable materials. Any of the above base materials can be coated with SiC (e.g., graphite with SiC coating), silicon (e.g., graphite with silicon coating), silicon dioxide (e.g., graphite with silicon dioxide coating or SiC with silicon dioxide coating), lanthanum oxide coating, or a combination of the above.
[0063] Fig. 9B 900, more clearly showing the centering features 905. A plurality of openings 910 formed through the body 235 are shown. Each of the openings 910 is sized to receive a lift pin (not shown) that facilitates transfer of a substrate between a robot blade (not shown) and the substrate receiving surface 202 of the substrate support 900. The centering features 905 are used to center the substrate relative to the substrate receiving surface 202 as the substrate is transferred to the substrate support surface 202.
[0064] The centering features 905 are positioned in a generally symmetrical manner on the body 235, except for the gaps 915. The gaps 915 are used to allow a robotic blade (not shown) to pass between adjacent centering features 905.
