Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chemical vapor deposition processes, and in particular to a gas delivery device and a chemical vapor deposition apparatus. Background Art
[0002] Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is a technique that uses gaseous or vaporous substances to react on a substrate surface to form solid deposits. These reactions typically occur on a heated substrate and can form thin films of various materials and structures. During the CVD process, one or more process gases are introduced into a reaction chamber and react chemically under the influence of external energy, forming the desired thin film on the heated substrate surface.
[0003] During the CVD process, carrier gases play a role in promoting the reaction, assisting in substrate cleaning, providing hydrogen atoms, and controlling reaction conditions. However, currently, most carrier gases are located at the process gas end, entering the reaction chamber along with the process gas. This can easily lead to excessively high total flow and pressure at the process gas inlet, necessitating a correspondingly higher source pressure for the process gas. This, in turn, increases the difficulty of regulating pipeline pressure and flow, hindering their stability. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a gas delivery device and a chemical vapor deposition device to solve the technical problems of high difficulty in adjusting pipeline pressure and pipeline flow and poor stability in existing CVD equipment.
[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a gas delivery device, the device comprising: an operating pipeline, an exhaust pipeline, a gas guide pipeline, at least one gas delivery pipeline, a first flow controller and a second flow controller;
[0006] One end of the operation pipeline, the exhaust pipeline, and the gas guide pipeline is connected to the carrier gas input end; the other end of the operation pipeline is connected to the reaction chamber, the other end of the exhaust pipeline is connected to the exhaust gas treatment equipment, and the other end of the gas guide pipeline is connected to the end of the operation pipeline close to the reaction chamber; one end of the gas delivery pipeline is connected to the process gas input end, and the other end is connected to the operation pipeline or the exhaust pipeline;
[0007] The first flow controller is connected to the operating pipeline or the exhaust pipeline; wherein the first flow controller is used to control the operating flow of the operating pipeline or the exhaust flow of the exhaust pipeline;

[0009] In the above implementation process, the gas delivery device includes an operating pipeline, an exhaust pipeline, a gas guide pipeline, at least one gas delivery pipeline, a first flow controller, and a second flow controller. Since one end of the gas guide pipeline is connected to the carrier gas input end and the other end is connected to the end of the operating pipeline close to the reaction chamber, part of the carrier gas can be directly delivered to the reaction chamber through the gas guide pipeline to reduce the flow and pressure of the remaining pipelines, thereby reducing the flow and pressure of each process gas inlet and the source pressure required by the process gas. By reducing the flow and pressure of each process gas inlet and the source pressure required by the process gas, and controlling the operating flow of the operating pipeline or the exhaust flow of the exhaust pipeline by the first flow controller, and controlling the carrier gas flow in the gas guide pipeline by the second flow controller, the adjustable threshold value of the process gas inlet flow and pressure corresponding to each gas delivery pipeline can be increased, thereby reducing the difficulty of adjusting the pipeline pressure and pipeline flow, and improving the stability of the pipeline pressure and pipeline flow.

[0013] In the above implementation, the first interlock unit enables switching the first flow controller to the operating or exhaust line based on actual needs, thereby controlling the flow rate in the operating or exhaust line based on the first flow controller. The second interlock unit enables switching the gas delivery line to the operating or exhaust line based on actual needs, thereby delivering process gas to the operating or exhaust line based on the gas delivery line. This ensures the normal operation of the CVD reaction process.

[0017] In the above implementation process, the pressures of the operating pipeline and the exhaust pipeline can be controlled respectively by the operating pressure controller and the exhaust pressure controller, thereby improving the control accuracy of the CVD reaction process and obtaining a better process reaction effect.

In the description of the embodiments of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a gas delivery device 01 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The gas delivery device 01 includes: a running pipeline Run, an exhaust pipeline Vent, a gas guide pipeline Inject, at least one gas delivery pipeline Xn, a first flow controller M100, and a second flow controller M200;
[0036] One end of the running pipeline Run, the exhaust pipeline Vent, and the gas guide pipeline Inject is connected to the carrier gas input terminal CG; the other end of the running pipeline Run is connected to the reaction chamber, the other end of the exhaust pipeline Vent is connected to the exhaust gas treatment equipment, and the other end of the gas guide pipeline Inject is connected to the end of the running pipeline Run close to the reaction chamber; one end of the gas delivery pipeline Xn is connected to the process gas input terminal, and the other end is connected to the running pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent;
[0037] The first flow controller M100 is connected to the running pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent; wherein the first flow controller M100 is used to control the running flow of the running pipeline Run or the exhaust flow of the exhaust pipeline Vent;
[0038] The second flow controller M200 is connected to the gas guiding pipeline Inject; wherein, the second flow controller M200 is used to control the gas guiding flow of the gas guiding pipeline Inject.
[0039] Among them, the running pipeline Run is used to introduce the reaction gas into the heated reaction chamber, so that these gases undergo chemical reactions on the surface of the substrate to generate the required thin film material. The exhaust pipeline Vent is used to discharge excess reaction gas out of the system (specifically, it can be discharged to the exhaust gas treatment equipment); and after the thin film deposition process is completed, the remaining gas in the reaction chamber is discharged out of the system (specifically, it can be discharged to the exhaust gas treatment equipment). The gas guide pipeline Inject is used to deliver part of the carrier gas directly to the reaction chamber to reduce the flow and pressure of the remaining pipelines. The first flow controller M100 can be connected to the running pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent through an interlocking device. The number of gas delivery pipelines can be 1 or more, Figure 1 Multiple gas delivery pipelines (X1, X2, Xn-1, and Xn; where n is a positive integer) are shown. The control range of the second flow controller M200 can be 50 SLM (standard liters per minute), 25 SLM, or other reasonable values. The second flow controller M200 can control the gas flow rate of the carrier gas delivered in the gas pipeline Inject. The gas flow rate of the gas pipeline Inject can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
[0040] Thus, the gas delivery device 01 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a run pipeline Run, an exhaust pipeline Vent, a gas pipeline Inject, at least one gas delivery pipeline Xn, a first flow controller M100, and a second flow controller M200. Because one end of the gas pipeline Inject is connected to the carrier gas input terminal CG and the other end is connected to the end of the run pipeline Run close to the reaction chamber, part of the carrier gas can be directly delivered to the reaction chamber through the gas pipeline Inject, thereby reducing the flow rate and pressure of the remaining pipelines, thereby reducing the flow rate and pressure at the inlet of each process gas and the source pressure required by the process gas. By reducing the flow rate and pressure at each process gas inlet and the required source pressure of the process gas, controlling the operating flow rate of the operating pipeline Run or the exhaust flow rate of the exhaust pipeline Vent through the first flow controller M100, and controlling the carrier gas flow rate in the gas guide pipeline Inject through the second flow controller M200, the adjustable thresholds of the process gas inlet flow rate and pressure corresponding to each gas delivery pipeline Xn can be increased, thereby reducing the difficulty of adjusting the pipeline pressure and pipeline flow rate and improving the stability of the pipeline pressure and pipeline flow rate. This solves the technical problem of high difficulty in adjusting pipeline pressure and pipeline flow rate and poor stability in existing CVD equipment.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of another gas delivery device 01 provided in an embodiment of the present application. In some optional embodiments, the gas delivery device 01 further includes: a regulating pipeline Push and a regulating flow controller M300; one end of the regulating pipeline Push is connected to the carrier gas input terminal CG, and the other end is connected to the end of the run pipeline Run near the reaction chamber; the regulating flow controller M300 is connected to the regulating pipeline Push; wherein the regulating flow controller M300 is used to control the regulating flow of the regulating pipeline Push.
[0042] The control range of the flow controller M300 can be 5 SLM or other reasonable values. The Push line can be used to deliver some carrier gas to the end of the Run line, near the reaction chamber. The flow controller M300 controls the carrier gas flow in the Push line to adjust the process gas inlet flow and pressure corresponding to each gas delivery line Xn, further improving the stability of the line pressure and flow.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the gas delivery device 01 also includes: a first interlocking unit V1 and at least one second interlocking unit V2n; the first flow controller M100 is connected to the running pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent based on the first interlocking unit V1; the other end of the gas delivery pipeline Xn is connected to the running pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent based on the second interlocking unit V2n.
[0044] The first interlocking unit V1 can be implemented by an interlocking valve (only one valve can be opened at the same time). The second interlocking unit V2n can also be implemented by an interlocking valve, such as a pneumatic interlocking valve. The number of the second interlocking units V2n can be consistent with the number of the gas delivery pipelines Xn. The number of the second interlocking units V2n can be one or more. Figure 2 The figure shows the case where there are multiple second interlocking units (specifically including V21, V22, V2(n-1) and V2n; where n is a positive integer). Different second interlocking units V2n can be connected to the same pipeline (either the running pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent) at the same time, or they can be connected to different pipelines at the same time (some connected to the running pipeline Run, and the other connected to the exhaust pipeline Vent). This application does not make any specific restrictions on this. Figure 2 Taking the gas delivery device 01 shown as an example, when the upper valve of one of the second interlock units (V21) is open, the gas delivery pipeline (X1) is connected to the operation pipeline Run; when the lower valve of one of the second interlock units (V21) is open, the gas delivery pipeline (X1) is connected to the exhaust pipeline Vent. Through the first interlock unit V1, the first flow controller M100 can be switched to access the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent according to actual needs, so as to control the flow of the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent based on the first flow controller M100. Through the second interlock unit V2n, the gas delivery pipeline Xn can be switched to access the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent according to actual needs, so as to deliver the process gas to the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent based on the gas delivery pipeline Xn. The normal progress of the CVD reaction process is guaranteed.
[0045] In some optional embodiments, the other end of the regulating pipeline Push is arranged on the inner side of the other end of the gas guiding pipeline Inject; the first flow controller M100 includes a pipeline flow regulator M101 and an operation flow controller M102; one end of the pipeline flow regulator M101 is connected to the carrier gas input end CG, and the other end is connected to the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent based on the first interlocking unit V1; the pipeline flow regulator M101 is used to regulate the carrier gas input amount of the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent; the operation flow controller M102 is arranged on the operation pipeline Run, and is specifically arranged between the other end of the regulating pipeline Push and the other end of the gas guiding pipeline Inject; the operation flow controller M102 is used to control the operation flow of the operation pipeline Run.
[0046] Among them, when the control range of the flow controller M300 is adjusted to 5SLM, the control range of the pipeline flow controller M101 can also be 5SLM; accordingly, the control range of the running flow controller M102 can be 10SLM or other reasonable values. Figure 2 Taking the illustrated gas delivery device 01 as an example, when the upper valve of the first interlock unit V1 is open, the pipeline flow controller M101 is connected to the run pipeline Run; when the lower valve of the first interlock unit V1 is open, the pipeline flow controller M101 is connected to the exhaust pipeline Vent. Since the pipeline flow controller M101 can regulate the carrier gas input amount of the run pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent, and the operation flow controller M102 can control the operating flow of the run pipeline Run, the pipeline flow controller M101 and the operation flow controller M102 can indirectly control the process gas inflow flow corresponding to each gas delivery pipeline Xn.
[0047] In some optional embodiments, the gas delivery device 01 further includes: an operating pressure controller PC01 and an exhaust pressure controller PC02; the operating pressure controller PC01 is connected to the side of the operating pipeline Run close to the carrier gas input end CG; wherein, the operating pressure controller PC01 is used to control the pressure of the operating pipeline Run; the exhaust pressure controller PC02 is connected to the side of the exhaust pipeline Vent close to the carrier gas input end CG; wherein, the exhaust pressure controller PC02 is used to control the pressure of the exhaust pipeline Vent.
[0048] Among them, the running pressure controller PC01 and the exhaust pressure controller PC02 can be implemented by pressure controllers. The running pressure controller PC01 and the exhaust pressure controller PC02 can be implemented by the same model of pressure controller or by different models of pressure controllers. For example, the pressure range of the running pressure controller PC01 and the exhaust pressure controller PC02 can be 0-300mbar or 0-150mbar. The running pressure controller PC01 and the exhaust pressure controller PC02 can also be set to the back-end pressure control mode to improve the control accuracy of the corresponding pipeline pressure; the specific implementation method of the running pressure controller PC01 and the exhaust pressure controller PC02 can be adjusted according to actual application requirements. The running pressure controller PC01 and the exhaust pressure controller PC02 can be used to control the pressure of the running pipeline Run and the exhaust pipeline Vent respectively, thereby improving the control accuracy of the CVD reaction process and obtaining better process reaction effects.
[0049] In some optional embodiments, the gas delivery pipeline Xn includes a first gas delivery pipeline and a second gas delivery pipeline; one end of the first gas delivery pipeline is connected to the input end of the solid and liquid process gas, and one end of the second gas delivery pipeline is connected to the input end of the gaseous process gas; the other ends of the first gas delivery pipeline and the second gas delivery pipeline are connected to the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent.
[0050] The process gas includes gaseous process gas stored in gaseous form and solid-liquid storage gas stored in solid-liquid form. The first gas delivery pipeline refers to the pipeline used to deliver the process gas stored in solid-liquid form, and the second gas delivery pipeline refers to the pipeline used to deliver the process gas stored in gaseous form. It should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically shown is a situation where X1 is a first gas delivery pipeline, and one end of X1 is connected to an input end of solid and liquid process gases.
[0051] In some optional embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2The first gas delivery pipeline X1 is shown as an example.

[0052] The carrier gas delivery pipeline X101 delivers the carrier gas to the bottom of the solid-liquid process gas storage unit, where it then removes the corresponding process gas. The carrier gas and the removed process gas are delivered to the reaction gas delivery pipeline X104 via the process gas delivery pipeline X102, where they are mixed with the carrier gas delivered by the gas dilution pipeline X103 to produce the reaction gas. Finally, the reaction gas is delivered to the run pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent via the reaction gas delivery pipeline X104, or excess reaction gas is delivered to the exhaust gas treatment equipment via the reaction gas exhaust pipeline X105.
[0053] In some optional embodiments, the gas delivery device 01 also includes: a carrier gas delivery flow controller M401, a gas source dilution flow controller M403 and a reaction gas source delivery flow controller M404, which are respectively arranged on the carrier gas delivery pipeline X101, the gas source dilution flow controller M403 and the reaction gas source delivery pipeline X104.
[0054] Among them, the control range of the carrier gas delivery flow controller M401 can be 500 SCCM (standard cubic centimeters per minute) or other reasonable values, and the control ranges of the gas source dilution flow controller M403 and the reaction gas source delivery flow controller M404 can both be 1000 SCCM. It should be noted that the specific ranges of different flow controllers can be adjusted according to actual application requirements. The gas flow rates of the carrier gas delivery pipeline X101, the gas source dilution pipeline X103 and the reaction gas source delivery pipeline X104 can be controlled respectively by the carrier gas delivery flow controller M401, the gas source dilution flow controller M403 and the reaction gas source delivery flow controller M404, so as to achieve precise control of the gas flow rate delivered by the first gas delivery pipeline to the operation pipeline Run or the exhaust pipeline Vent, so as to obtain better process reaction effects.

[0057] The linkage controller V3 can be implemented by two valves that can be opened or closed simultaneously (for example, two normally closed pneumatic valves controlled in a linked manner). The first control unit V31 and the second control unit V32 based on the linkage controller V3 can simultaneously disconnect the carrier gas delivery pipeline X101 and the process gas source delivery pipeline X102, facilitating process gas source replacement. After the process gas source is replaced, the carrier gas delivery pipeline X101 and the process gas source delivery pipeline X102 are simultaneously connected, quickly restoring normal operation of the pipelines.
