Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and more specifically, relates to a thin film deposition profile adjustment device and a chemical vapor deposition equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In semiconductor manufacturing, as process nodes advance to 90 nanometers and below, the thickness of photoresist is continuously reduced to meet the demands of higher resolution patterning. However, excessively thin photoresist cannot provide sufficient etching resistance during the etching process, leading to a decrease in pattern transfer accuracy. To address this, the industry has introduced Advanced Patterning Film (APF) as an auxiliary mask layer. Its main component is amorphous carbon, which has a high etch selectivity and can replace photoresist in pattern formation during etching, and is ultimately removed through a photoresist stripping process. However, during the chemical vapor deposition of APF, reactants may penetrate into the wafer edge region, resulting in uneven APF deposition at the wafer edge. Furthermore, APF deposited at the wafer edge may be stripped off during subsequent photolithography and etching processes, causing particulate contamination and affecting device yield.

[0003] Currently, the industry typically uses a shielding ring to suppress APF deposition at the wafer edge. This shielding ring is located at the pumping liner above the wafer. During the deposition process, the heating plate rises, causing the shielding ring to press against the wafer edge region, blocking the entry of reactive gases and thus optimizing film uniformity.

[0004] When different process steps are performed within the same process chamber, the flow field distribution within the chamber will change significantly due to differences in parameters such as process pressure, reactant gas flow rate, and spray head height. To obtain the optimal film edge profile, the shielding distance of the shielding ring needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the flow field to compensate for the impact of flow field changes on the uniformity of edge deposition. However, in the prior art, the aperture of the shielding ring that allows reactant gas to pass through is a fixed value, which means that the size of this aperture cannot be adjusted. The only way to meet the aperture size requirements of different process steps is to replace the shielding ring with one of different aperture sizes. Utility Model Content

[0048] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 The APF thin film deposition profile adjustment device and chemical vapor deposition equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0049] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this application is to provide an APF thin film deposition profile adjustment device for use in a chemical vapor deposition apparatus, comprising a fixed base 10 and an adjustment mechanism 20.

[0050] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The fixing seat 10 has an annular structure and a first through hole 11 is provided on the fixing seat 10. The first through hole 11 penetrates the fixing seat 10 along the axial direction of the fixing seat 10 and is used for the reaction gas to pass through so as to flow to the target wafer 50.

[0051] The adjustment mechanism 20 includes a connecting seat 21, an adjusting blade 22 and a drive motor 23. The connecting seat 21 is connected to the fixed seat 10 and has a flow channel 24. The position of the flow channel 24 corresponds to the position of the first through hole 11.

[0052] There are multiple adjusting blades 22, all of which are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 21. The inner walls of the multiple adjusting blades 22 are all curved. The multiple adjusting blades 22 are used to adjust the aperture of the flow channel 24.

[0053] The drive motor 23 is connected to the fixed base 10 and is connected to multiple adjusting blades 22 through the transmission assembly 30. The servo motor is either a servo motor or a stepper motor.

[0054] The target wafer 50 moves vertically along the heating plate 40 in the chemical vapor deposition equipment to bring the target wafer 50 closer to or away from the connector 21. When the target wafer 50 comes into contact with the side of the adjusting blade 22 facing the target wafer 50, the multiple adjusting blades 22 block the edge portion of the target wafer 50, and the reaction gas flows to the target wafer 50 through the flow channel 24.

[0055] The drive motor 23 is electrically connected to the control module in the chemical vapor deposition equipment. The control module applies different control signals to the drive motor 23 according to different deposition processes in the chemical vapor deposition equipment. The drive motor 23 adjusts the number of rotations and the direction of rotation according to the different control signals, so that multiple adjusting blades 22 rotate on the connecting seat 21. In turn, the multiple adjusting blades 22 adjust the aperture of the flow channel 24, thereby adjusting the width of the edge of the target wafer 50 blocked by the adjusting mechanism 20. Thus, the aperture of the flow channel 24 in the adjusting mechanism 20 can be adjusted as needed.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the APF thin film deposition profile adjustment device provided in this application includes a fixed base 10 and an adjustment mechanism 20. The adjustment mechanism 20 includes a connecting base 21, adjusting blades 22 and a drive motor 23. The connecting base 21 is connected to the fixed base 10 and has a flow channel 24. The position of the flow channel 24 corresponds to the position of the first through hole 11. There are multiple adjusting blades 22, all of which are rotatably connected to the connecting base 21 for adjusting the aperture of the flow channel 24. The drive motor 23 is connected to the multiple adjusting blades 22 through a transmission assembly 30 and is electrically connected to the control module in the chemical vapor deposition equipment. The control module adjusts the aperture of the flow channel 24 according to different deposition processes in the chemical vapor deposition equipment. The APF thin film deposition profile adjustment device can be adapted to the aperture of the flow channel 24 required in different deposition processes without replacing the APF thin film deposition profile adjustment device.

[0057] In this application, the connecting seat 21 includes a first cover plate 211 and a second cover plate 212, and a plurality of adjusting blades 22 are rotatably connected between the first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212.

[0058] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first cover plate 211 has an annular structure and is connected to the side of the fixing base 10 facing the target wafer 50. The first cover plate 211 is provided with a second through hole 2111.

[0059] The second cover plate 212 is also an annular structure, and the second cover plate 212 is fixedly connected to the first cover plate 211 through the connecting rod 213. The second cover plate 212 and the first cover plate 211 are spaced apart. The second cover plate 212 is provided with a third through hole 2121.

[0060] The first through hole 11, the second through hole 2111 and the third through hole 2121 are coaxially arranged, and the flow channel 24 is formed by the second through hole 2111 and the third through hole 2121.

[0061] The first cover plate 211, the second cover plate 212, and the adjusting blade 22 are made of ceramic, nickel-chromium alloy, or tungsten carbide alloy. The diameters of the first through hole 11, the second through hole 2111, and the third through hole 2121 are equal and larger than the diameters of the target wafer 50 and the heating plate 40, so that when the heating plate 40 drives the target wafer 50 to move toward the fixed base 10, the target wafer 50 can enter the third through hole 2121 and abut against the side of the adjusting blade 22 facing the target wafer 50.

[0062] In this application, please refer to Figures 3 to 5Each adjusting blade 22 is provided with a guide rod 221, and the first cover plate 211 and / or the second cover plate 212 are provided with multiple guide grooves 25, each guide groove 25 corresponding to a guide rod 221. Each guide rod 221 is slidably connected to its corresponding guide groove 25. When the adjusting blade 22 rotates relative to the first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212, the guide rod 221 slides in the guide groove 25 to limit the rotation direction of the adjusting blade 22.

[0063] In one embodiment of this application, a guide groove 25 is disposed on a first cover plate 211 and extends through the first cover plate 211 along the axial direction of the first cover plate 211. A guide rod 221 is slidably connected within the guide groove 25.

[0064] In another embodiment of this application, a guide groove 25 is disposed on the second cover plate 212 and extends through the second cover plate 212 along the axial direction of the second cover plate 212, and a guide rod 221 is slidably connected in the guide groove 25.

[0065] In another embodiment of this application, guide grooves 25 are disposed on the first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212, and along the axial direction of the first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212, the guide groove 25 on the first cover plate 211 penetrates through the first cover plate 211, and the guide groove 25 on the second cover plate 212 penetrates through the second cover plate 212, and the position of the guide groove 25 on the first cover plate 211 corresponds to the position of the guide groove 25 on the second cover plate 212. A guide rod 221 penetrates the adjusting blade 22 and is partially slidably connected within the guide groove 25 on the first cover plate 211 and partially slidably connected within the guide groove 25 on the second cover plate 212.

[0066] In this application, the guide groove 25 extends in an arc shape.

[0067] For details, please refer to Figure 5 Along the extending direction of the guide groove 25, the guide groove 25 has a first limiting end 251 and a second limiting end 252. When the guide rod 221 on the plurality of adjusting blades 22 abuts against the first limiting end 251 on the corresponding guide groove 25, a first aperture is formed between the plurality of adjusting blades 22. When the guide rod 221 on the plurality of adjusting blades 22 abuts against the second limiting end 252 on the corresponding guide groove 25, a second aperture is formed between the plurality of adjusting blades 22. The first aperture is smaller than the second aperture.

The inner and outer walls of the toothed ring 31 are respectively provided with multiple first tooth structures 311 and second tooth structures 312, wherein the extension length of the multiple first tooth structures is less than the circumference of the outer wall of the toothed ring 31, that is, multiple first tooth structures 311 are provided on a portion of the outer wall of the toothed ring 31.

[0070] The drive gear 32 is connected to the drive motor 23 and meshes with the first tooth structure 311 on the outer side of the gear ring 31.

[0072] When the drive motor 23 rotates, it drives the gear ring 31 to rotate through the drive gear 32. When the gear ring 31 rotates, it drives multiple driven gears 33 to rotate simultaneously. The multiple driven gears 33 drive multiple adjusting blades 22 to rotate simultaneously relative to the first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212, so as to adjust the aperture of the flow channel 24 and make the aperture of the flow channel 24 compatible with different deposition processes in the chemical vapor deposition equipment.

[0073] When the drive motor 23 rotates in the forward direction, the adjusting blade 22 moves from the position corresponding to the first aperture to the position corresponding to the second aperture, and when the drive motor 23 rotates in the reverse direction, the adjusting blade 22 moves from the position corresponding to the second aperture to the position corresponding to the first aperture.
