Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition, in particular to a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method with self-adaptive tuning function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) is one of the key technologies for preparing high-quality single crystal diamond, gallium nitride and diamond-like films. The basic principle is to use 2.45GHz microwave to excite process gas to form a high-density plasma ball in a vacuum reaction chamber, so that the surface of the substrate undergoes cracking and deposition reaction. The deposition quality is strongly dependent on the geometry of the plasma ball. When the plasma ball is in the shape of a flat disc covering the entire substrate, the radial electric field distribution is uniform, and the temperature gradient is small, so that the film with excellent thickness, doping and stress consistency can be obtained. On the contrary, when the plasma ball is in the shape of an ellipsoid, the central electric field is concentrated, the temperature rises sharply, and the temperature at the edge decreases significantly, resulting in uneven film thickness, crystal cracking and even process failure.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent with publication number CN118854265A includes a combined chamber, a top flange mounting surface and a bottom sealing flange mounting surface. The combined chamber includes an antenna chamber, a reaction chamber, a transmission chamber and a pumping chamber. The top flange mounting surface is provided above the combined chamber, and the bottom sealing flange mounting surface is provided below the combined chamber. The top flange mounting surface is an integral structure with the antenna chamber. The upper end of the reaction chamber is welded to the antenna chamber as an integral structure. The lower end of the reaction chamber is connected and fastened to the pumping chamber using a flange. The side surface of the pumping chamber is welded to the transmission chamber as an integral structure.

[0004] The above-mentioned device, when in use, solves the problem of uneven gas and temperature in the cavity of the existing MPCVD equipment by reasonably designing the gas passage and cooling structure, and ensures the uniformity of the plasma in the cavity structure. However, in actual use, when the plasma is in the shape of an ellipsoid, the central electric field of the sample table is easily concentrated, the temperature rises sharply, and the film thickness is uneven, which causes the crystal to crack. Therefore, it is difficult to automatically adjust the height of the sample table.
