基于PECVD的静电中和方法及装置

By inserting a low-power plasma discharge neutralization step into the PECVD process, the problem of lifting failure and breakage caused by electrostatic force between the wafer and the heater base is solved through a dual approach of reverse voltage plasma neutralization and physical disruption of the electrostatic field. This achieves damage-free wafer unloading and improves production reliability.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the PECVD process, the electrostatic force between the wafer and the heater base can cause lifting failure and wafer breakage. Existing technologies lack effective means to actively, quickly and accurately neutralize the electrostatic force at the end of the PECVD process sequence.

Method used

A low-power plasma discharge neutralization step is inserted into the PECVD process flow. Through a dual approach of reverse voltage plasma neutralization and physical disruption of the electrostatic field, a low-power radio frequency signal is used to excite low-density plasma to neutralize the electrostatics between the wafer and the heater base. This is combined with increasing the gap between the wafer and the heater base to weaken the binding force of the electrostatic field.

Benefits of technology

It effectively eliminates electrostatic forces, ensuring undamaged wafer unloading, preventing charge re-accumulation, and completely solving wafer adhesion and cracking problems caused by electrostatic forces, thereby improving production reliability and efficiency.

Abstract

本申请公开了一种基于PECVD的静电中和方法及装置,属于半导体薄膜沉积技术领域。其包括:在反应腔室施加第一射频,以将腔室中连续通入的反应气体电离形成等离子体后沉积在晶圆表面上;在腔室中停止通入反应气体并停止施加第一射频之后,在腔室中施加第二射频,第二射频的功率低于第一射频的功率,并且第二射频的电压极性与第一射频的电压极性相反;向下移动放置有晶圆的加热器基座,使晶圆与加热器基座之间的间隙增大,以利于第二射频中和晶圆与加热器基座之间的静电;在停止施加第二射频之后,向腔室通入吹扫气体,以对晶圆表面进行清洁。本申请通过低功率等离子体放电中和静电,避免了晶圆与加热器基座间因静电力导致的晶圆破裂和粘附的问题。
