Description
Technical Field

[0002] Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) is an advanced etching technology that can achieve excellent depth control for relatively shallow microstructures. The ALE technology overcomes the limitations of traditional continuous etching technology at the atomic scale, and thus has received increasing attention. Through Silicon Via (TSV) etching technology is to fabricate vertical conduction between chips and between wafers, reducing the interconnect length, signal delay, capacitance, and inductance through vertical interconnection, and is one of the key processes for 2.5D / 3D packaging.
[0003] In the case of the fixed frequency characteristics of existing plasma etching equipment, the transmission device and the overall environment of the reaction chamber are regarded as an impedance unit. The transmission device can be a transmission line between the RF power supply and the matcher. The matcher forms an L-type, Π-type, or T-type impedance transformation network by using an LC circuit, so that the matcher and the transmission device and the overall environment of the chamber are regarded as an overall impedance unit to achieve impedance matching close to 50Ω, thereby realizing the maximum transmission of the transmitted signal.

[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here.

[0037] The inventor found that if a plasma etching device is to be compatible with two etching technologies of different frequencies, for example, the two etching technologies of different frequencies are atomic layer etching technology and through-silicon via etching technology; the actual process requirements often need to be changed under different radio frequency operating frequency conditions. However, during the operation of the mixer impedance matcher, the impedance matchers of different frequencies are prone to interfere with each other. The matching effect and matching time directly determine the density and energy of the plasma in the reaction chamber, and further affect the uniformity and etching rate of the wafer surface, etc.
[0038] Based on this, the present invention proposes a device that is compatible with impedance matchers of different frequencies through gear switching, enabling atomic layer etching and through-silicon via etching to be alternately switched, ensuring that the device has higher precision and controllability, while achieving low-power, high-speed communication between chips, increasing bandwidth and achieving miniaturization.
[0039] An embodiment of the present invention provides a device that is compatible with impedance matchers of different frequencies, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a device that is compatible with impedance matchers of different frequencies provided by an embodiment of the present invention,Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another device for a compatible different-frequency impedance matcher provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

The radio frequency coil 51 is located outside the chamber body 52 and on the side of the dielectric window 53 away from the bottom of the chamber body 52. The electrostatic chuck 56 is located at the bottom of the chamber body 52. The electrostatic chuck electrode 55 is located between the dielectric window 53 and the electrostatic chuck 56, and the electrostatic chuck electrode 55 covers part of the electrostatic chuck 56. The wafer 54 is placed on the side of the electrostatic chuck electrode 55 away from the electrostatic chuck 56. The radio frequency coil 51 is arranged outside the chamber body 52 and is used to generate an alternating magnetic field.

[0057] Optionally, referring to Figure 4 , the device compatible with impedance matchers of different frequencies further includes: a voltage detection device 57. The voltage detection device 57 is arranged outside the chamber body and is electrically connected to the electrostatic chuck 56.

[0061] Exemplarily, the low-frequency signal is a 400KHz through-silicon via etching technology radio frequency signal. When using the voltage sensor 59 to detect the analog signal of the bias voltage of the electrostatic chuck 56, since the voltage signal of the 400KHz through-silicon via etching radio frequency matching network passing through the voltage sensor 59 is too high, it is easy to cause damage to the voltage sensor 59.
