Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more specifically, to an Encore TaN device external shielding correction device. Background Technology

[0002] As semiconductor integrated circuit chip processing linewidths enter the nanometer era, the application scope of Cu (copper) line technology is becoming increasingly wide. However, because Cu molecules diffuse very easily, they can easily cause deep energy level defects. Therefore, it is necessary to deposit a TaN (TiAlN, i.e., titanium aluminum nitride) barrier layer to prevent Cu diffusion contamination. The Encore TaN device (Encore device, a type of equipment in the field of semiconductor integrated circuit PVD (physical vapor deposition) process) is a key piece of equipment in the field of semiconductor integrated circuit Cu process.

[0003] In conventional cleaning processes, high-concentration hydrofluoric acid or nitrofluoric acid (a mixed solution of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid) is used to remove the thin film on the outer shield of the Encore TaN device. Although this method has a significant cleaning effect, it cannot avoid the corrosion of the aluminum material of the component body by concentrated acid. Some components in the Encore TaN cavity suffer significant losses during traditional regeneration processes. With the increase of regeneration cycles, some components will become deformed, thinned, or perforated, eventually causing the entire set of equipment components to become unusable. Currently, the conventional practice for correcting the outer shield of the Encore TaN device is to use a rubber mallet to hammer the deformed areas. For some components with strict roundness requirements, the hammering operation is inconvenient for employees, and it is impossible to guarantee the true roundness of the components, resulting in the scrapping of the components.

[0004] The applicant discovered through a search that Chinese patent document with publication number 220926901U, published on May 10, 2024, discloses a spraying fixture for the outer cup cover of the Encore TaN device. This fixture includes a disc, an anti-tipping support assembly at the bottom of the disc, and several spraying support assemblies evenly distributed around the top circumference of the disc. Each spraying support assembly includes a support column fixed to the disc, with a bolt threaded onto the top of the support column and a rubber plug passing through the bolt's thread. The anti-tipping support assembly includes several triangular supports evenly fixed around the bottom of the disc. Each triangular support is integrally formed from two inclined plates, with the tops of the two inclined plates connected and fixed to the bottom of the disc, and the bottoms of the two inclined plates being flush. This device also fails to solve the aforementioned technical problem.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve or solve at least one of the above problems, it is necessary to provide an Encore TaN device outer shield correction device that can efficiently and accurately correct the deformation of the outer shield of the Encore TaN device. Utility Model Content
