Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material surface engineering, in particular to a method for preparing an etching-resistant ceramic coating material. Background Art

[0002] In semiconductor manufacturing and lithography equipment, components are often exposed to extremely harsh operating environments, such as high temperatures, vacuum, high-energy particle bombardment, and highly corrosive gas environments. These complex operating conditions place stringent demands on material performance, with the most prominent challenge being the combined effects of chemical corrosion, thermal stress, and plasma erosion. This not only leads to rapid failure of precision equipment components but also directly impacts the manufacturing quality of semiconductor chips and the operating life of lithography equipment. Currently, key materials for etch resistance include oxides such as aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, and yttrium oxide (Y2O3). Yttrium oxide has become a research hotspot due to its unique physical and chemical properties. This material has a high melting point (approximately 2430°C), low vapor pressure, extremely strong chemical stability, and excellent resistance to plasma impact. During semiconductor manufacturing, particularly during etching, cleaning, and deposition, component surfaces are often exposed to high-energy plasma. In these situations, yttrium oxide coatings can effectively block the corrosive effects of plasma, significantly improving equipment reliability and durability.

[0003] However, traditional yttrium oxide coating preparation technologies (such as thermal spraying) still face many challenges in practical applications. First, thermal spraying technology uses powder as raw material, and the prepared coatings often have a high porosity, which makes them exhibit limited corrosion resistance in corrosive media. In addition, the bonding method between the coating and the substrate in thermal spraying is mostly mechanical bonding, which has low bonding strength and is prone to failure due to peeling during long-term use. As semiconductor processes continue to develop towards higher precision and more stringent working conditions, traditional thermal spray coatings can no longer meet the requirements for density, bonding strength and long-term high stability.

[0004] To overcome the limitations of traditional coating technologies, suspension plasma spraying (SPS) has gained increasing attention in recent years. This technology, combined with spray granulation and using a suspension as the coating raw material, effectively addresses the large particle size and poor flowability of powders commonly found in traditional thermal spraying. The uniform dispersion of micron-sized spherical powders within the suspension enables more precise coating deposition and significantly improves the density and uniformity of the coating. Furthermore, SPS technology can achieve coating structures with lower porosity, enhancing corrosion resistance. By manipulating granulation and plasma spraying parameters, the suspension properties and the adhesion between the coating and the substrate can be further optimized. While suspension plasma spraying holds great promise for the preparation of yttrium oxide coatings, several technical bottlenecks remain. For example, the stability of the suspension significantly impacts the ultimate coating performance. Optimizing the powder granulation process to improve the dispersion and flowability of the powder remains an urgent challenge. Furthermore, during the plasma spraying process, if the particle size distribution is wide and the fluidity is poor, agglomeration and nozzle clogging are likely to occur, affecting the coating's uniformity and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, existing pure yttrium oxide coatings have poor oxygen barrier properties, which negatively impacts the substrate during re-service. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a coating material that can achieve a dense coating with minimal surface roughness and resistance to etching and oxidation to meet the demands of high-performance equipment.
