[0038] The utility model aims to provide an epitaxial base and an epitaxial device to solve the problem that the adjustment space of the existing epitaxial device is limited and cannot meet the uniformity requirements of current high-end products.

[0039] Those skilled in the art can understand that the epitaxial growth process is a process of growing a single crystal layer with different impurity concentrations and thicknesses on a single wafer by using the principle of nucleation of two-dimensional structural similarity on a crystal cross section. Epitaxy includes homogeneous epitaxy and heterogeneous epitaxy, and an insulating material with excellent isolation performance needs to be used as an epitaxial substrate. The epitaxial layer can have a different conductivity type from the original single wafer. By utilizing this characteristic, a PN junction can be directly prepared by epitaxial growth. Through the combination of different types, semiconductor devices and integrated circuits have various functions. Epitaxial growth methods are divided into vapor phase epitaxy, liquid phase epitaxy, and molecular beam epitaxy. This embodiment takes the homogeneous single crystal epitaxy of a wafer as an example, and uses vapor phase epitaxy to perform an epitaxial growth process. In the epitaxial process, the epitaxial base, as a carrier in the wafer heating process, plays an important role in the temperature distribution and airflow distribution of the wafer, but the components and auxiliary equipment in the prior art are subject to the size and safety requirements of the original equipment, and cannot be adjusted significantly, which easily causes the wafer to fail to meet the uniformity requirements of high-end products. Based on this, an embodiment of the utility model provides an epitaxial base and an epitaxial device, which changes the appearance of the epitaxial base by setting a plurality of grooves on the side of the epitaxial base close to the wafer, making its surface concave-convex, thereby changing the temperature of the wafer surface, causing a change in the deposition rate, so as to compensate for the change in the deposition rate caused by other hardware or airflow, and ultimately improve the flatness and thickness uniformity of the wafer epitaxy.

[0040] The following description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2 The utility model provides an epitaxial base, including: a base body 10; the base body 10 includes a carrier 100 and a recessed portion 101, the carrier 100 is arranged at the edge of the base body 10, the carrier 100 is connected to the recessed portion 101, forming a carrying surface for carrying a wafer 30, the recessed portion 101 is concave relative to the carrier 100 in a direction away from the wafer 30, the wafer 30 is mounted on the carrier 100, and the wafer 30 can contact the recessed portion 101 during the epitaxial process; the recessed portion 101 is provided with at least two grooves, the grooves are arranged along the circumferential direction X of the base body 10, and at least two grooves are arranged along the radial direction Y of the base body 10. It should be noted that when the wafer 30 is not deformed, its state is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the back side of the wafer 30 (in this embodiment, the back side of the wafer 30 is the side of the wafer 30 close to the recessed portion 101) is a plane and overlaps the support platform 100 to support the wafer 30; during the epitaxial production process, the wafer 30 is deformed by heat, and the back side of the wafer 30 is an arc surface, which can contact the convex part of the groove in the recessed portion 101. Figures 1 to 9In the examples shown, the number of grooves is two, and the cross-sectional shape of the base body 10 is circular. In some other embodiments, the number of grooves may be more than two, and they are arranged sequentially from the center of the circle along the radial direction Y of the base body 10 from the inside to the outside; the cross-sectional shape of the base body 10 may also be a rectangle, trapezoid or other irregular shapes. Those skilled in the art may configure this according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, the epitaxial base may further include a boss 20 and a heating unit 40. The boss 20 is disposed on the carrier 100 and protrudes outward. The protruding distance of the boss 20 matches the protruding distance of the wafer 30 relative to the carrier 100. The boss 20 is used to optimize the horizontal gas flow field of the process gas during the epitaxial growth process. The side wall of the boss 20 may also be provided with an outlet hole to further optimize the gas flow field. The cross-sectional shape of the boss 20 may be as follows: Figure 2 The rectangle shown may also be a trapezoid or other irregular shapes; the boss 20 is arranged along the circumferential direction X of the base body 10 and is an annular component. The heating unit 40 may be an infrared lamp, which may be arranged on both sides of the base body along its own axial direction Z at the same time; and according to the different power distribution of the heating on both sides, the effect at the groove is also different. If the heating power of the upper surface of the base body (the side of the base body close to the chip 30) is high, the temperature of the chip 30 is higher than the temperature of the base body, then in the groove area, the heat is not easily transferred from the chip 30 to the base body, and the temperature of the chip 30 near the groove area will be higher than the temperature of the chip 30 in other areas; if the heating power of the lower surface of the base body (the side of the base body away from the chip 30) is high, the heat will be transferred from the base body to the chip 30, and in the groove area, the heat is not easily transferred from the base body to the chip 30, and the temperature of the chip 30 near the groove area will be lower than the temperature of the chip 30 in other areas.

[0043] In this configuration, by setting at least two grooves on the recessed portion 101, the grooves are set along the circumferential direction X of the base body 10, and at least two grooves are arranged along the radial direction Y of the base body 10, so that the side of the base body 10 close to the chip 30 forms a concave-convex appearance, and the thermal conductivity and gas characteristics at the grooves are different from those in other areas, resulting in a change in the temperature distribution in the groove area, causing changes in the heating and heat transfer on the back side of the chip 30, thereby changing the temperature of the surface of the chip 30, causing a change in the deposition rate, so as to compensate for the change in the deposition rate caused by other hardware or airflow. Appropriate compensation can improve the flatness and thickness uniformity of the epitaxial wafer 30.

[0044] Furthermore, the side wall of the groove is an inclined surface or a curved surface. Figures 1 to 9In the illustrated embodiment, the side walls of the grooves are all curved surfaces. With this configuration, when the back side of the chip 30 is deformed by heat and contacts the connection between adjacent grooves, it can be ensured that the back side of the chip 30 will not be damaged by scratches, thereby further improving the quality of the chip 30. Of course, in other embodiments, the side walls of the grooves may also be inclined surfaces. In this case, the connection between adjacent grooves will form a sharp top angle, and a smooth chamfer may be formed at the top angle to avoid damage to the back side of the chip 30.

[0045] Furthermore, the grooves are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction Y of the base body 10. Figures 1 to 9 In the illustrated examples, the grooves are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction Y of the base body 10, that is, the opening width of the groove (that is, the distance between the two side walls of the groove along the radial direction Y of the base body 10) is equal everywhere in the circumferential direction X of the base body 10. In other embodiments, the opening width of the groove may also vary in the circumferential direction X of the base body 10, and may be gradually increased or gradually decreased, or may be partially increased and partially decreased, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on this.

It should be noted that the lowest point of the first groove 1011 in the axial direction Z of the base body 10 refers to the point in the first groove 1011 that is the farthest from the plane where the bearing platform 100 is located.

Figure 4 as shown) or an inclined surface (as Fig. 9 Those skilled in the art may configure this according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

In other embodiments, the size relationship between R1, R21, R22 and H1 and H2 may also be in other forms, and those skilled in the art may configure this according to actual conditions.
