Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vapor deposition equipment, and in particular to a spindle lifting and rotating device used in vapor deposition equipment and a using method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, vapor deposition technology is a crucial process. It introduces specific raw material gases, such as a mixture of methyltrichlorosilane and hydrogen and argon, into a chemical vapor deposition furnace to cause chemical reactions or physical adsorption on the surface of the wafer substrate, thereby forming the desired thin film material. However, in the vapor deposition process, the problem of gas flow and distribution has always been one of the key factors affecting deposition quality and efficiency.
[0003] The spindle lifting and rotating device in traditional vapor deposition equipment, although it can realize the rotation and lifting of wafer substrates, its movement state has a significant and complex impact on the gas flow pattern in the reaction chamber. Gas flow plays a decisive role in the vapor deposition process. It is responsible for transporting the raw gas from the gas supply system to the chemical vapor deposition furnace and ensuring that these gases can be evenly and efficiently diffused to the surface of the wafer substrate. However, when the spindle lifting and rotating device is in motion, it may cause a series of complex gas flow phenomena, such as eddies and turbulence, which will seriously interfere with the normal transportation and diffusion process of the raw gas, resulting in significant deviations in the distribution of the gas in the reaction chamber. The formation of eddies and turbulence is mainly due to the shear force and centrifugal force generated by the movement of the spindle lifting and rotating device. These forces will change the flow direction of the gas, causing it to rotate and turbulent. The existence of eddies and turbulence will not only Reducing the delivery efficiency of the raw gas will also increase the degree of mixing between the gases, thereby changing the gas composition and concentration distribution in the reaction chamber. In addition, if the design and motion control of the spindle lifting and rotating device are unreasonable, it may further aggravate the unevenness of the gas flow. For example, if the spindle rotates too fast or the lifting speed is unstable, it will cause stronger eddy and turbulent phenomena, which will further interfere with the delivery and diffusion process of the raw gas, resulting in a more uneven distribution of the gas in the reaction chamber. The unevenness of the gas flow has a serious impact on the deposition quality and efficiency. First, it will cause the raw gas to be unevenly distributed on the surface of the wafer substrate, thereby affecting the uniformity of the deposition rate. Secondly, the unevenness of the gas flow will also trigger a series of complex chemical reactions and physical processes, such as local overheating, local reaction rate is too fast, etc., which will further affect the quality and performance of the film; Therefore, based on the above search and in combination with the prior art, a spindle lifting and rotating device and a method of use for a vapor deposition device are proposed to solve the above problems.
