Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vapor deposition equipment, in particular to a spindle lifting and rotating device used in vapor deposition equipment and a using method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, vapor deposition technology is a crucial process means, which introduces specific raw gas into the chemical vapor deposition furnace, such as the mixed gas of methyltrichlorosilane and hydrogen argon, so that chemical reaction or physical adsorption occurs on the surface of the wafer substrate, thereby forming the required thin film material. However, during the vapor deposition process, the problem of gas flow and distribution has always been one of the key factors affecting the deposition quality and efficiency.
[0003] The spindle lifting and rotating device in the traditional vapor deposition equipment can realize the rotation and lifting of the wafer substrate, but its movement state has a significant and complex influence on the gas flow pattern in the reaction chamber. Gas flow plays a decisive role in the vapor deposition process, which is responsible for transporting raw gas from the gas supply system into the chemical vapor deposition furnace and ensuring that these gases can be uniformly and efficiently diffused to the surface of the wafer substrate. However, when the spindle lifting and rotating device is in motion, it can cause a series of complex gas flow phenomena such as vortex and turbulence, which can seriously interfere with the normal transportation and diffusion process of raw gas, leading to significant deviation in the distribution of gas in the reaction chamber. The formation of vortex and turbulence is mainly due to the shear force and centrifugal force generated by the movement of the spindle lifting and rotating device, which changes the flow direction of the gas, causing rotation and turbulence. The existence of vortex and turbulence not only reduces the transportation efficiency of raw gas, but also increases the mixing degree between 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 exacerbate the non-uniformity of gas flow. For example, if the rotation speed of the spindle is too fast or the lifting speed is unstable, it will cause stronger vortex and turbulence phenomena, which will further interfere with the transportation and diffusion process of raw gas, leading to more uneven distribution of gas in the reaction chamber. The non-uniformity of gas flow has a serious impact on the deposition quality and efficiency. First, it can cause uneven distribution of raw gas on the surface of the wafer substrate, affecting the uniformity of the deposition rate. Second, the non-uniformity of gas flow can also cause a series of complex chemical reactions and physical processes, such as local overheating and local reaction rate too fast, which will further affect the quality and performance of the thin film.

[0055] S5: after the vapor deposition process is completed, stop the rotation of the servo motor 6 first, and use the electric push rod 13 to lower the lifting disc 8 to the lowest position, so as to take out the wafer substrate;
[0056] S6: open the furnace door 3, take out the deposited wafer substrate, clean the chemical vapor deposition furnace 2 and the residual in the placing assembly, and prepare for the next use.
[0057] Working principle:
[0058] In use, the wafer substrate is placed in the fixed groove 19 of the placing assembly, then the cylinder 14 is sleeved on the outer surface of the main shaft body 7 through the polygonal groove 15, and the limiting block 40 is rotated into the threaded groove 39 through the threaded rod 41, so as to limit the top surface of the main shaft body 7, prevent the placing assembly from separating from the main shaft body 7 during lifting, and the furnace door 3 on the front side wall of the chemical vapor deposition furnace 2 is connected with the furnace body through the connecting piece, the two fixed plates 42 of the connecting piece are fixed on the side wall of the furnace body, the rotating column 43 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 42, and the connecting plate 44 connects the rotating column 43 and the furnace door 3, so as to realize the opening and closing of the furnace door 3;
