[0031] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a horizontal gas flow multi-piece chemical vapor deposition device, which drives multiple wafers to rotate through a tray to solve the problem of low single-chip epitaxial efficiency in the prior art and realize the function of multi-piece simultaneous epitaxy in a single chamber and ensure epitaxial uniformity.
[0032] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation modes.
[0033] Embodiment 1:
[0034] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a horizontal gas flow multi - slice chemical vapor deposition device, which includes a reaction chamber 1, a gate valve 2, a robot chamber 3, a vacuum robot 4, a wafer loading chamber 5, a gas source 6, and an intake interface 7; the gas source 6 is respectively connected to a reaction gas flow channel 16 and a protection gas flow channel 17 inside the reaction chamber 1 through the intake interface 7; at the other end of the reaction chamber 1, there are successively arranged a gate valve 2, a robot chamber 3, a gate valve 2, and a wafer loading chamber 5; the vacuum robot 4 is arranged inside the robot chamber 3, and the vacuum robot 4 is used to place the wafer 26 in the wafer loading chamber 5 into the reaction chamber 1 and place the processed wafer 26 in the reaction chamber 1 into the wafer loading chamber 5; an isolation cylinder is arranged inside the reaction chamber 1, a thermal field heating element 9 is arranged outside the isolation cylinder, and a heat preservation layer 8 is arranged outside the thermal field heating element 9; a base 11 is arranged inside the isolation cylinder, a tray 25 is arranged on the base 11, the tray 25 is used to carry the wafer 26, and the bottom of the base 11 is connected to a rotating motor 13 through a rotating shaft 12; an exhaust mechanism is arranged at the other end of the reaction chamber 1.
[0035] During the film - forming process, the gate valve 2 is closed to prevent gas exchange between chambers. The gases required for the film - forming process are all supplied by the gas source 6, passed through the intake interface 7 on one side of the reaction chamber 1 into the reaction chamber 1, and then flow along the radial flow channel to the surface of the base 11 for contact reaction. The tail gas is guided by the exhaust assembly 14 at the other end of the reaction chamber 1 and discharged vertically through the exhaust pipeline 15. A rotating motor 13 is installed below the reaction chamber 1, and the base 11 is driven to rotate through the rotating shaft 12. The thermal field heating element 9 is distributed inside the reaction chamber 1, and a heat preservation layer 8 and an isolation layer are installed around the thermal field heating element 9 to separate the thermal field heating element 9 from the reaction area. When the reaction chamber 1 is cooled to the wafer 26 transfer temperature after a single epitaxial growth is completed, the gate valve 2 is opened, and the robotic arm of the vacuum robot 4 extends into the reaction chamber 1 to take out the tray 25 loaded with the wafer 26 and transfer it to the wafer loading chamber 5. After further cooling to room temperature, the cover can be manually opened to take and place the wafer 26.
[0036] In this specific embodiment, at least two intake interfaces 7 are arranged at one end of the reaction chamber 1. One intake interface 7 is connected to the reaction gas flow channel 16 inside the isolation cylinder, and the other is connected to the protection gas flow channel 17 outside the isolation cylinder. The gas source 6 at least includes a reaction gas source 6 and a protection gas source 6, so as to completely isolate the thermal field heating element 9 from the wafer 26 and avoid direct contact to form deposition and adhesion.
[0037] In this specific embodiment, the thermal field heating element 9 includes a front - part heating element 9 - 1, a middle - part heating element 9 - 2, and a rear - part heating element 9 - 3; the front - part heating element 9 - 1 and the rear - part heating element 9 - 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the middle - part heating element 9 - 2.
[0038] The resistive multi-zone thermal field is placed outside the reaction zone, and the thermal field heating element 9 is separated from the reaction zone by a square isolation tube 10 to form a relatively independent space.

The front heating element 9-1 is close to the reaction gas flow channel 16 and can also play the function of preheating the intake air. The heat generated by the thermal field heating element 9 is transferred to the square isolation tube 10, and the isolation tube transfers the heat to the base 11 after being evenly heated, which can appropriately improve the temperature uniformity. The thermal field heating elements 9 in multiple zones such as three zones, four zones, and six zones can be reasonably distributed according to the above-mentioned form.

There are more than three grooves 45 on the upper surface of the tray 25. When only the tray 25 itself rotates with the base 11, the wafers 26 can be directly placed in the grooves 45, and the surface of the wafers 26 is in the same plane as the surface of the tray 25. The rotating body of the base 11 is fixed to the rotating shaft 12. The rotating shaft 12 passes through the reaction chamber 1 and is connected to the rotating motor 13 on the external fixed seat 31 through the connecting flange 27. Bearings 28 and bearing retaining rings 29 are installed on both sides of the rotating shaft 12. The dynamic seal of the rotating shaft 12 is achieved by the seal 30.

[0044] In a more specific embodiment, when the tray 25 rotates in the planetary rotation mode, the wafers 26 also rotate at a certain speed, which can improve the epitaxial uniformity. To ensure that the rotation speeds of the substrates of the wafers 26 are basically the same, the rotating drive gas is introduced from the central position of the base 11 and then evenly dispersed. The base 11 is driven by a hollow motor 33 and a hollow rotating shaft 34. The tray 25 is divided into a small plate 40 and a large plate 38. The rotating drive gas of the wafers 26 is introduced from the rotating air inlet 32 and then passes through the internal rotating inlet air flow channel 43 to the lower part of the small plate 40, driving the small plate 40 to rotate with the air flow. Figure 4 and Figure 6For example, the base 11 is divided into an upper base 37 and a lower base 35 for easy processing. After combination, the air inlet and outlet channels 44 are formed.

The rotating air flow below each small plate 40 converges at the confluence port 47 at the center positions of the large plate 38 and the upper base 37 along the outlet channel 44 and is discharged from the lateral air outlet 36 uniformly distributed on the side of the base 11, reducing the influence on the intake of the reaction gas.
