Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of film coating, and more specifically to an MPCVD device. Background Art

[0002] Diamond materials have great application potential in many fields due to their excellent physical properties. Microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) technology is a method of depositing diamond films on substrates through chemical reactions under the action of microwaves. In the MPCVD process, especially for the growth of large-sized diamond films, the temperature uniformity of the substrate has an important influence on the quality of the diamond film.

[0003] Figure 1 The existing MPCVD device 100' comprises a waveguide 1', a reaction chamber 2', a quartz plate 3', a circular substrate stage 4', a substrate stage circulation water path 5', an air inlet 6A', an exhaust port 6B', a lifting component 9' and a plurality of thermocouples 10'.

[0004] The quartz plate 3' is arranged as a microwave dielectric window between the opening 211' of the top wall 21' of the reaction chamber 2' and the end of the waveguide 1', so as to close the opening 211' of the top wall 21' of the reaction chamber 2' and thereby separate the reaction chamber 2' from the waveguide 1'. The waveguide 1' is used to be connected to a microwave source (not shown) that generates microwaves and couple the microwaves into the reaction chamber 2' through the waveguide 1' and the quartz plate 3'. The circular substrate stage 4' is positioned in the reaction chamber 2', directly below the quartz plate 3' and separated from the quartz plate 3', and the circular substrate stage 4' is provided with a substrate 300 on which a diamond film is to be deposited by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. The substrate stage circulation water circuit 5' is arranged below the circular substrate stage 4', and the substrate stage circulation water circuit 5 is used to control the temperature of the circular substrate stage 4' from below. The air inlet 6A is provided in the reaction chamber 2, and the air inlet 6A' is used to pass the reaction gas for forming the diamond film into the reaction chamber 2'. The exhaust port 6B' is provided in the reaction chamber 2', and is used to form a flowing vacuum in the reaction chamber 2' and continuously exhaust together with the air inlet 6A'. The lifting component 9' is provided to seal and penetrate the bottom wall 23' of the reaction chamber 2', and the lifting component 9' is connected to the substrate stage circulating water circuit 5' from below, and the lifting component 9' is used to lift the substrate stage circulating water circuit 5' and the circular substrate stage 4' to adjust the interval between the circular substrate stage 4' and the quartz plate 3'. The multiple thermocouples 10' are insulated and pass through the lifting component 9', the substrate stage circulating water circuit 5' and the circular substrate stage 4' to measure the temperature of the substrate 300 on the circular substrate stage 4'.

[0005] In the existing MPCVD device 100', the temperature of the circular substrate stage 4' and the substrate 300 only depends on the microwave plasma 400 (also called glow) ignited on the substrate 300. Due to the uneven distribution of plasma density, the temperature gradient of the substrate 300 is large, and it is difficult to achieve uniform temperature distribution of the substrate 300, which easily causes uneven crystal quality and local defects in the diamond film during the growth process, thereby affecting the performance and application of the device made of the substrate with the diamond film.

[0007] Thus, an MPCVD device includes a waveguide, a reaction chamber, a quartz plate, a circular substrate stage, a substrate stage circulation water path, an air inlet, and an exhaust port; the quartz plate is arranged between the opening of the top wall of the reaction chamber and the end of the waveguide as a microwave dielectric window to close the opening of the top wall of the reaction chamber and thereby separate the reaction chamber from the waveguide; the waveguide is used to be connected to a microwave source that generates microwaves and couple the microwaves into the reaction chamber through the waveguide and the quartz plate; the circular substrate stage is positioned in the reaction chamber, directly below the quartz plate and separated from the quartz plate; the circular substrate stage is for a substrate to be deposited with a diamond film by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition to be placed thereon; the substrate stage circulation water path is arranged below the circular substrate stage, and the substrate stage circulation water path is used to control the temperature of the circular substrate stage from below; the air inlet is arranged in the reaction chamber, and the air inlet is used to pass the reaction gas for forming the diamond film into the reaction chamber; the exhaust port is arranged in the reaction chamber, and is used to form a flowing vacuum in the reaction chamber together with the air inlet and to exhaust continuously.

[0033] The quartz plate 3 is arranged as a microwave dielectric window between the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 and the end of the waveguide 1 to close the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 and separate the reaction chamber 2 from the waveguide 1. The waveguide 1 is used to connect to a microwave source (not shown) that generates microwaves and couple the microwaves into the reaction chamber 2 through the waveguide 1 and the quartz plate 3. The circular substrate stage 4 is positioned in the reaction chamber 2, directly below the quartz plate 3 and separated from the quartz plate 3, and the circular substrate stage 4 is provided with a substrate 300 to be deposited with a diamond film by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. The substrate stage circulation water circuit 5 is arranged below the circular substrate stage 4, and the substrate stage circulation water circuit 5 is used to control the temperature of the circular substrate stage 4 from below. The air inlet 6A is arranged in the reaction chamber 2, and the air inlet 6A is used to pass the reaction gas for forming the diamond film into the reaction chamber 2. The exhaust port 6B is provided in the reaction chamber 2, and is used to form a flowing vacuum and continuously exhaust gas in the reaction chamber 2 together with the air inlet 6A. The plurality of heating lamps 7 are provided on the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 in a plurality of concentric circles around the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2. The plurality of heating lamps 7 are used to heat the circular substrate stage 4 and the substrate 300 together in a concentric circle from the center of the circular substrate stage 4 to the outside.

[0034] Compared with the MPCVD device 100' in the background technology, in the MPCVD device 100 according to the present disclosure, a plurality of heating lamps 7 are used as auxiliary heating sources to heat the circular substrate stage 4 and the substrate 300 concentrically in a circle from the center of the circular substrate stage 4 outward. The heat provided by the plurality of heating lamps 7 is combined with the heat generated by the microwave plasma 400, which can effectively improve the temperature distribution of the substrate 300, thereby improving the uniformity of the diamond growth film.

[0035] Note that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The difference between the MPCVD device 100 according to the present disclosure and the known MPCVD device 100 ′ lies in the multiple heating lamps 7 and the circulating water loop 8 matched with the multiple heating lamps 7 described later.

[0036] In the MPCVD device 100 according to the present disclosure, the arrangement of the gas inlet 6A is preferably to ensure the uniformity of the gas inlet. For example, the gas inlet 6A is arranged in multiples, and the multiple gas inlets 6A are arranged in a ring around the circular substrate stage 4 and the substrate 300 at equal intervals. The gas inlet 6A can be arranged on the peripheral wall 22 of the reaction chamber 2, or on the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2. The exhaust port 6B is usually arranged at the bottom of the MPCVD device 100, for example, the exhaust port 6B is arranged on the bottom wall 23 of the reaction chamber 2, or the exhaust port 6B is arranged at the bottom of the peripheral wall 22 of the reaction chamber 2.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one example, the plurality of heating lamps 7 are arranged in three concentric circles around the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2, the heating lamps 7 in the innermost circle are used to heat the center of the circular substrate stage 4; the heating lamps 7 in the middle circle are used to heat 2 / 5R (where R is the radius of the circular substrate stage 4) of the circular substrate stage 4; and the heating lamps 7 in the outermost circle are used to heat 4 / 5R of the circular substrate stage 4. Further, the heating lamps 7 on each circle are arranged at equal intervals. In one example, the number of heating lamps 7 on each circle is the same. For example, there are 16 heating lamps 7 on each circle. In one example, the power range of the heating lamps 7 in each circle is 0-3000W. The heating lamps 7 may be halogen lamps.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in one example, the MPCVD device 100 further includes a circulating water loop 8. The circulating water loop 8 is disposed on the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 and above the plurality of heating lamps 7, and is used to control the temperature of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2. Figure 2 As shown, the circulating water circuit 8 also surrounds the quartz plate 3 in radial direction.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in one example, the MPCVD device 100 further includes a lifting component 9. The lifting component 9 is sealed and penetrates the bottom wall 23 of the reaction chamber 2, and the lifting component 9 is connected to the substrate stage circulation water channel 5 from below. The lifting component 9 is used to lift the substrate stage circulation water channel 5 and the circular substrate stage 4 to adjust the interval between the circular substrate stage 4 and the quartz plate 3.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, in one example, the MPCVD device 100 further includes a plurality of thermocouples 10. The number of thermocouples 10 is consistent with the number of turns of the plurality of heating lamps 7. The plurality of thermocouples 10 are thermally insulated and pass through the lifting component 9, the substrate stage circulation water path 5 and the circular substrate stage 4 to measure the temperature of the substrate 300 on the circular substrate stage 4. The portions where the plurality of thermocouples 10 pass through the circular substrate stage 4 correspond to the portions where the plurality of heating lamps 7 heat the circular substrate stage 4 in a circle. In other words, the size of the substrate 300 at least covers the portions where the plurality of heating lamps 7 heat the circular substrate stage 4 in a circle and the portions where the plurality of thermocouples 10 pass through the circular substrate stage 4.

[0041] [test]

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Embodiment 1 is used to test the case where only a plurality of heating lamps 7 are used for heating.

[0044] The specific structure of the MPCVD device 100 used in Example 1 is as follows.

[0045] With the help of Figure 2The MPCVD device 100 used in Example 1 includes a waveguide 1, a reaction chamber 2, a quartz plate 3, a circular substrate stage 4, a substrate stage circulating water path 5, an air inlet 6A, an exhaust port 6B, a plurality of heating lamps 7, a circulating water loop 8, a lifting component 9, and a thermocouple 10. The quartz plate 3 is arranged as a microwave dielectric window between the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 and the end of the waveguide 1 to close the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 and thus separate the reaction chamber 2 from the waveguide 1. The waveguide 1 is used to connect to a microwave source (not shown) that generates microwaves and couple the microwaves into the reaction chamber 2 through the waveguide 1 and the quartz plate 3. The circular substrate stage 4 is positioned in the reaction chamber 2, directly below the quartz plate 3 and separated from the quartz plate 3. The substrate stage circulating water path 5 is arranged below the circular substrate stage 4, and the substrate stage circulating water path 5 is used to control the temperature of the circular substrate stage 4 from below. The air inlet 6A is arranged on the peripheral wall 22 of the reaction chamber 2, and is arranged in 12 rings at equal intervals around the circular substrate stage 4. The exhaust port 6B is arranged on the bottom wall 23 of the reaction chamber 2. The plurality of heating lamps 7 are arranged on the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 in multiple concentric circles around the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2. The plurality of heating lamps 7 are used to heat the circular substrate stage 4 concentrically in circles from the center of the circular substrate stage 4 outward. The plurality of heating lamps 7 are arranged in three concentric circles around the opening 211 of the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2, and the heating lamps 7 in the innermost circle are used to heat the center of the circular substrate stage 4; the heating lamps 7 in the middle circle are used to heat the 2 / 5R of the circular substrate stage 4; and the heating lamps 7 in the outermost circle are used to heat the 4 / 5R of the circular substrate stage 4. The heating lamps 7 on each circle are arranged at equal intervals. There are 16 heating lamps 7 on each circle. Each heating lamp 7 is a halogen lamp with a rated power of 150W, and the power of the halogen lamp is adjusted by the current supplied by the connected power supply. The circulating water loop 8 is arranged on the top wall 21 of the reaction chamber 2 and is above the multiple heating lamps 7. The circulating water loop 8 also surrounds the quartz plate 3 in the radial direction. The number of thermocouples 10 is consistent with the number of turns of the heating lamp 7, that is, three thermocouples 10 are used; the thermocouple 10 is insulated and passes through the lifting component 9, the substrate stage circulating water path 5 and the circular substrate stage 4 to measure the temperature of the substrate 300 on the circular substrate stage 4. The parts where the thermocouple 10 passes through the circular substrate stage 4 correspond to the parts where the lamp heating lamp 7 heats the circular substrate stage 4 in a circle.

[0046] During operation, a silicon wafer substrate 300 is placed on the circular substrate stage 4, and the diameter of the substrate 300 is larger than 4 / 5R of the circular substrate stage 4 but smaller than R (i.e., radius) of the circular substrate stage 4. The lifting component 9 adjusts the substrate 300 on the circular substrate stage 4 to a height of 200 mm away from the quartz plate 3. The substrate stage circulating water circuit 5 and the circulating water circuit 8 are turned on, and the microwave source is not turned on. The reaction chamber 2 is first evacuated to 10 KPa through the air inlet 6A and the exhaust port 6B, and then hydrogen is introduced through the air inlet 6A. The total flow rate of hydrogen in all the air inlets 6A is 500 sccm. The reaction chamber 2 is maintained at 10 KPa through the air inlet 6A and the exhaust port 6B. The pressure is 10KPa; then, three circles of heating lamps 7 are turned on to preheat the circular substrate stage 4 for 5 minutes, wherein, through current adjustment, the power of the heating lamps 7 in the outermost circle is 1100W, the power of the heating lamps 7 in the middle circle is 500W, and the power of the heating lamps 7 in the innermost circle is 200W; after preheating for 5 minutes, the temperature of the substrate 300 on the circular substrate stage 4 is measured by three thermocouples 10, and the temperatures of the substrate 300 at the center of the circular substrate stage 4, 2 / 5R of the circular substrate stage 4 and 4 / 5R of the circular substrate stage 4 are measured to be 159.9°C, 160.5°C and 160.8°C, respectively, with a difference of less than 1°C.

[0047] Based on the test of Example 1, it is shown that the uniform heating of the substrate 300 can be achieved by setting up multiple circles of heating lamps 7 .

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Example 2 is used to test the situation where multiple heating lamps 7 and microwave plasma are heated together.

[0050] The same MPCVD device 100 structure as in Example 1 is used, the same substrate 300 is placed, and the lifting component 9 is adjusted to the same distance.

[0051] The difference from Example 1 during operation is that the microwave source is not turned on, the substrate stage circulating water circuit 5 and the circulating water circuit 8 are turned on, the reaction chamber 2 is first evacuated to below 0.1 Pa through the air inlet 6A and the exhaust port 6B, the power of the heating lamp per circle is adjusted to 200 W, and the circular substrate stage 4 and the substrate 300 are preheated for 5 minutes; after the preheating is completed, hydrogen is introduced through the air inlet 6A, and the total flow rate of all the air inlets 6A is 500 sccm, and the microwave source is turned on at the same time, and the microwave power of the microwave source and the cavity of the reaction chamber 2 are slowly increased. The chamber pressure, microwave power is added to 3000W, the pressure of the reaction chamber 2 is controlled at 20KPa, and the temperatures measured by the three thermocouples 10 are used to adjust the microwave power and the power of each circle of heating lamps 7 in real time to ensure the uniformity of the temperature of the substrate 300. The temperatures measured by the three thermocouples 10 are 870.8℃ (0 / 5R position), 868.4℃ (2 / 5R position) and 871.8 (4 / 5R position), respectively, so that the temperature of the substrate 300 measured by the three thermocouples 10 can reach 870±2℃.

[0052] Based on the test of Example 2, it is shown that the uniform heating of the substrate 300 can be achieved through the cooperation of the multi-circle heating lamp 7 and the microwave power.

[0056] The difference from Example 1 during operation is that the heating lamp 7 is not turned on, the substrate table circulating water circuit 5 is turned on, and the circulating water loop 8 is not turned on. The reaction chamber 2 is first evacuated to below 0.1 Pa through the air inlet 6A and the exhaust port 6B, and hydrogen is introduced through the air inlet 6A. The total flow rate of all the air inlets 6A is 500 sccm. At the same time, the microwave source is turned on, and the microwave power of the microwave source and the chamber pressure of the reaction chamber 2 are slowly increased. The pressure of the reaction chamber 2 is controlled at 20 KPa. The microwave power is controlled in real time by the temperatures measured by the three thermocouples 10, and the temperatures of the substrate 300 measured by the three thermocouples 10 are 871.5°C (0 / 5R position), 866.4°C (2 / 5R position) and 860.3°C (4 / 5R position), respectively. The temperature at the 0 / 5R position differs from the temperature at the 4 / 5 position by more than 10°C.

[0063] After the preheating is completed, hydrogen is introduced through the air inlet 6A, and the total hydrogen flow rate of all the air inlets 6A is 500 sccm. At the same time, the microwave source is turned on, and the microwave power of the microwave source and the chamber pressure of the reaction chamber 2 are slowly increased. The pressure of the reaction chamber 2 is controlled at 20 KPa;

[0064] After the deposition temperature of the substrate 300 is reached, reactant gases methane and hydrogen are introduced through the gas inlet 6A, the deposition temperature is 900° C., the volume flow ratio of methane to hydrogen is 1:10, and the diamond film is deposited. The temperatures of different areas of the substrate 300 of the circular substrate stage 4 are monitored in real time by three thermocouples 10. The microwave power and the power of each circle of heating lamps 7 are adjusted in real time by the temperatures measured by the three thermocouples 10, so that the temperatures of the substrate 300 on the annular substrate stage 4 measured by the three thermocouples 10 tend to be consistent and remain stable until the deposition is completed;
