[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein should be understood as the usual meaning understood by those skilled in the art. The "including" and similar words used in this paper mean that the elements or objects before the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.
[0046] In the prior art, the spray head in the spraying device is directly exposed inside the reaction cavity, so that the by-products generated in the reaction process will directly act on the surface of the spray head, adhere to the surface of the spray head and cause damage to the surface of the spray head, which is inconvenient to clean and also affects the service life of the spray head.
[0047] In order to solve the above technical problems, a spraying device of a semiconductor processing equipment is provided.
[0048] The specific embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0049] With reference to Figures 1-5 The embodiments of the utility model provide a spraying device of a semiconductor processing equipment. The spraying device is used for the semiconductor processing equipment. In the processing process of the wafer, the gas is sprayed from the spraying device and contacts the wafer, so that the wafer is processed. The spraying device comprises a substrate 100. The substrate 100 is fixedly arranged at the top of the reaction cavity of the semiconductor processing equipment. Meanwhile, the substrate 100 is provided with spray holes 110. A plurality of spray holes 110 are arranged on the substrate 100. The plurality of spray holes 110 are uniformly distributed on the substrate 100. The gas is sprayed into the reaction cavity through the spray holes 110. Therefore, the spray holes 110 on the substrate 100 are used for spraying the gas, so as to process the wafer.
[0050] With reference to Figures 1-5The substrate 100 is provided with a cleaning film 200, one side of the cleaning film 200 is a connecting surface 220, and the other side is an adhering surface 230. The connecting surface 220 has viscosity, and is used to fix the position of the cleaning film 200. The cleaning film 200 can be provided with one or multiple. When the cleaning film 200 is provided with one, the connecting surface 220 of the cleaning film 200 is connected with the end surface of the substrate 100, and the adhering surface 230 is exposed to the inside of the reaction cavity, and is used to adhere to the by-products generated in the processing of the wafer. When the cleaning film 200 is provided with multiple, assuming that the cleaning film 200 is provided with N, the direction away from the substrate 100 along the axis direction of the spray hole 110 is defined as the installation direction, and the N cleaning films 200 are connected in sequence along the installation direction, wherein the connecting surface 220 and the adhering surface 230 of the adjacent two cleaning films 200 are bonded. In addition, the connecting surface 220 of the first cleaning film 200 along the installation direction is bonded with the end surface of the substrate 100, and is used to fix and position the cleaning film 200. The adhering surface 230 of the Nth cleaning film 200 along the installation direction is exposed to the inside of the reaction cavity, and is used to adhere to the by-products generated in the processing of the wafer. In this embodiment, the cleaning film 200 is preferably provided with multiple. In addition, the cleaning film 200 needs to be the same shape as the substrate 100, or the area of the cleaning film 200 is greater than the area of the substrate 100, so that the cleaning film 200 can completely cover the substrate 100, thereby reducing the possibility of the by-products generated in the processing of the wafer adhering to the substrate 100.
[0051] With reference to Figures 1-5The cleaning film 200 is also provided with cleaning holes 210 penetrating the cleaning film 200 along the thickness direction of the cleaning film 200. The cleaning holes 210 are provided in plurality and the positions of the plurality of cleaning holes 210 correspond to the positions of the plurality of ejection holes 110 one by one, so that the gas ejected from the ejection hole 110 can enter the reaction cavity after passing through the cleaning hole 210. Meanwhile, the diameters of the cleaning holes 210 on each cleaning film 200 are the same, and the positions of the plurality of cleaning holes 210 of the adjacent two cleaning films 200 correspond to each other, facilitating the gas to pass through the plurality of cleaning films 200. In addition, the diameters of the cleaning holes 210 can be the same as, smaller than, or larger than the diameters of the ejection holes 110, as long as the gas can be ejected into the reaction cavity. In this embodiment, the diameters of the cleaning holes 210 are preferably the same as the diameters of the ejection holes 110. In addition, the cleaning film 200 is required to have a certain thickness, which can be selected from the range of 0.5-3 mm, and can be 0.5 mm or 3 mm, or any value within the range, such as 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, or 2.5 mm. In actual use, different thicknesses of the cleaning film 200 can be selected according to the actual use conditions or requirements, as long as the by-products generated during the wafer processing cannot penetrate the cleaning film 200 to damage or adhere to the substrate 100.
[0052] Referring to Figures 1-5 When the plurality of cleaning films 200 are provided, the adhesion of the connecting surfaces 220 of the plurality of cleaning films 200 decreases in sequence along the mounting direction. During use, when the outermost adhering surface 230 is exposed, the cleaning film 200 reaches the service life, and the cleaning film 200 reaching the service life is torn off. Since the adhesion of the connecting surfaces 220 of the plurality of cleaning films 200 decreases in sequence along the mounting direction, the tearing off of the cleaning film 200 will not affect the next layer of cleaning film 200. Here, the reaching of the service life means that the cleaning film 200 is damaged, or the adhering surface 230 of the cleaning film 200 cannot adhere to the by-products generated during the wafer processing, or other conditions that cause the cleaning film 200 to be unable to use. In this way, the cleaning film 200 can be replaced conveniently.
[0053] Referring to Figures 1-5The anti-falling piece 300 can also be arranged on the substrate 100, and the anti-falling piece 300 is detachably connected with the substrate 100. Since the cleaning film 200 is arranged on the substrate 100, and during the working process, the cleaning film 200 is arranged below the substrate 100, and the cleaning film 200 is also affected by its own gravity and gas thrust, which may cause the cleaning film 200 to fall off. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the anti-falling piece 300 to reduce the possibility of the cleaning film 200 falling off from the substrate 100. In the embodiment, the anti-falling piece 300 is in a strip shape, specifically, the anti-falling piece 300 is in a “C” shape, one end of the anti-falling piece 300 is connected with the substrate 100, and the connection mode can be clamping, lapping or bolt fixing, etc. In the embodiment, the anti-falling piece 300 is preferentially arranged on the end surface of the substrate 100 by bolt fixing, so that the anti-falling piece 300 is detachably connected with the substrate 100. It is worth noting that the end surface of the anti-falling piece 300 is connected with the substrate 100 away from the cleaning film 200, or the sidewall of the substrate 100, as long as it does not interfere with the position of the cleaning film 200. The other end of the anti-falling piece 300 abuts against the end surface of the cleaning film 200, thereby reducing the possibility of the cleaning film 200 falling off from the substrate 100. The anti-falling piece 300 can be arranged with one or multiple. When the anti-falling piece 300 is arranged with multiple, the multiple anti-falling pieces 300 are uniformly distributed around the sidewall of the substrate 100. In addition, the anti-falling piece 300 can also be arranged as an extendable piece according to the actual use, so that it can adapt to the total thickness of multiple cleaning films 200 according to the continuous reduction of the number of the cleaning films 200. Specifically, the anti-falling piece 300 is divided into two sections, which are a first section and a second section. The first section is connected with the substrate 100, and the end of the first section is provided with an extension hole. One end of the second section is arranged in the extension hole, and the other end abuts against the end surface of the cleaning film 200. A spring is arranged in the extension hole, one end of the spring is fixedly arranged on the inner bottom of the extension hole, and the other end is fixedly arranged on the one end of the second section arranged in the extension hole. The spring is used to pull the second section to move towards the first section, so that the anti-falling piece 300 has the adaptive ability.
[0054] With reference to Figures 1-5The side wall of the cleaning film 200 is provided with a tear tab 240, which can be fixed or detachable, and in the embodiment, the tear tab 240 is fixed to the side wall of the cleaning film 200 by the fixed mode, and the fixed mode can be adhesion, clamping or integral molding, and in the embodiment, the tear tab 240 is fixed to the side wall of the cleaning film 200 by the integral molding mode. In the use process, since the shape and size of each cleaning film 200 are the same, it is inconvenient to tear off, and after the tear tab 240 is provided, the tear tab 240 is driven to move, so that the adjacent two cleaning films 200 are separated, and the cleaning film 200 is conveniently torn off. The side wall of each cleaning film 200 can be provided with one or more tear tabs 240. When the side wall of each cleaning film 200 is provided with one tear tab 240, the tear tabs 240 on the side walls of the adjacent two cleaning films 200 are staggered, so that the two tear tabs 240 adjacent in the mounting direction are not overlapped, thereby reducing the possibility that the adjacent two tear tabs 240 are not easily separated.
[0055] The embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of semiconductor processing equipment, and semiconductor processing setting includes cavity 400, gas supply device 500, bearing table 410 and spraying device, wherein cavity 400 is reaction cavity, bearing table 410 is placed in the bottom inside cavity 400, for placing wafer, spraying device is placed in the top inside cavity 400, for spraying gas, part of gas supply device 500 is placed outside cavity 400, another part is placed inside cavity 400, and is communicated with spray hole 110, in the processing process of wafer, gas supply device 500 is used to provide gas, so that gas is sprayed from spray hole 110, and sprayed to cavity 400 and wafer contact, and wafer is processed;In working condition, wafer is placed on bearing table 410, and gas supply device 500 provides gas, and gas is sprayed into cavity 400 after passing through spray hole 110 and cleaning hole 210 in sequence, and contacts wafer;Multiple cleaning films 200 are provided on substrate 100, and by-product generated in the processing process is attached to the attachment surface 230 of cleaning film 200, and substrate 100 is not damaged.
[0056] The utility model discloses a kind of implementation principles of spray device of semiconductor processing equipment, multiple layer cleaning film 200 is arranged at the end surface of substrate 100, by-product generated in the processing process of wafer is adhered on the adhering surface 230 of cleaning film 200, will not damage or adhere on substrate 100, so it is not necessary to clean the end surface of substrate 100, when cleaning, just tear the outermost cleaning film 200, simultaneously, since the viscosity of connecting surface 220 decreases in turn along the installation direction, when tearing the outermost cleaning film 200, it will not affect the cleaning film 200 adjacent thereto, facilitate the progress of cleaning process.
[0057] Although the embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made to the embodiments. However, it should be understood that such modifications and changes are within the scope and spirit of the present application as described in the claims.
