Plasma-resistant complex and method for producing the same
[0001] This invention claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0086075, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 1, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to a plasma-resistant composite and a method for preparing the same.
[0002] Plasma etching processes are used in semiconductor and display manufacturing. With the recent adoption of nanotechnology, the difficulty of etching has increased. Internal components of process chambers exposed to high-density plasma environments are primarily made of corrosion-resistant oxide ceramics, such as alumina (Al2O3) and yttria (Y2O3).
[0003] When polycrystalline materials are exposed to high-density plasma etching environments using fluorine-based gases for extended periods, localized erosion can cause particle loss, increasing the likelihood of contaminating particles. This can lead to defects in semiconductors and displays and negatively impact production yields. Furthermore, oxide-based ceramic materials have a high melting temperature, which limits workability.
[0004] There is a need for technology development that can prevent thermal shock damage, reduce dielectric constant, and control viscosity to easily form it into a desired shape.
[0005] Meanwhile, quartz has long been used as a representative material for focus rings in etching equipment due to its low cost, reasonable dielectric constant, and suitable etching characteristics. However, as the plasma environment within semiconductor chambers has become increasingly harsh, rapid etching has shortened the replacement cycle of quartz, leading to various attempts to replace it.
[0006] Recently, there have been many attempts to replace amorphous glass as a material for focus rings. However, because SiO2, a key material for vitrification, has a strong network structure, producing glass with a high SiO2 content has been challenging. Metals, such as Al and Ca, which are inevitably included for vitrification, increase the dielectric constant and pose a risk of increased contamination due to gases generated during the etching process, necessitating further improvement.
[0007] In addition, it was necessary to develop a method for easily manufacturing a plasma-resistant composite containing high contents of SiO2 and Al2O3 and having excellent optical properties.
[0008] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for easily manufacturing a plasma-resistant composite by including a Si-based oxide and an Al-based oxide and controlling the temperature of a heating step, and a plasma-resistant composite.

[0081] One embodiment of the present invention provides a plasma-resistant composite having a second substrate on a first substrate and a reflectivity of 5.6% or more.
[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the plasma-resistant composite can improve the optical properties of the plasma-resistant composite by further improving the reflectance and absorption coefficient, and can implement properties similar to those of a single substrate and improve bonding strength.
[0083] In this specification, any overlapping content with the method for manufacturing the above-mentioned plasma-resistant complex will be omitted.
[0084] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the reflectivity of the plasma-resistant composite is 5.6% or more, the etching rate can be implemented uniformly over the entire area of the plasma-resistant composite. The reflectivity of the plasma-resistant composite can be measured using an ellipsometer (Elli-SEU-AM12, Ellipso tech. Co.).
[0085] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the dielectric constant of the plasma-resistant composite may be 5 or more and 9 or less. Specifically, the dielectric constant may be 5.5 or more and 8.5 or less, 5 or more and 8 or less, 6 or more and 9 or less, 8 or more and 9 or less, or 5.5 or more and 9 or less. Methods for measuring the dielectric constant include a capacitance method using an LCR meter, a reflection coefficient method using a network analyzer, a resonant frequency method, etc. As an example of a method for measuring the dielectric constant, the capacitance method using an LCR meter is mainly used to measure low-frequency characteristics (kHz, MHz), and the dielectric constant can be determined from the physical size and capacitance of the capacitor. More specifically, it may mean measuring the dielectric constant in a frequency range of 20 Hz to 100 Hz using a Keysight E4990A Impedance Analyzer. When the dielectric constant of the plasma-resistant composite is within the aforementioned range, the plasma-resistant composite can minimize thermal shock at high temperatures and improve the durability of components inside a chamber for a semiconductor manufacturing process. In addition, the optical transmittance and durability of the plasma-resistant composite can be improved.
[0086] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the plasma-resistant composite may have a light transmittance of 80% or more and 100% or less. Specifically, the plasma-resistant composite may have a light transmittance of 82% or more and 95% or less, 85% or more and 90% or less, 85% or more and 95% or less, 84% or more and 90% or less, or 80% or more and 90% or less. In the present specification, "light transmittance" may mean a value measured using a haze meter (JCH-300S, Oceanoptics Co.). When the light transmittance of the plasma-resistant composite is within the above-mentioned range, the melting degree of the plasma-resistant composite can be improved while simultaneously achieving high vitrification.
[0087] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when irradiated with light having a wavelength of 400 nm to 800 nm, a plasma-resistant composite having a reflectance of 5.6% to 10% can be provided. Specifically, the reflectance of the plasma-resistant composite may be 5.6% to 10%, 6.6% to 10%, 7.6% to 10%, 8.6% to 10%, 9.6% to 10%, 4% to 8%, 5% to 9%, 6% to 8%, 7% to 9%, or 8% to 9%. When the reflectance of the plasma-resistant composite is within the above-mentioned range, the etching resistance of the plasma-resistant composite can be improved.
[0088] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wavelength of light irradiated to the plasma-resistant complex may be 400 nm to 800 nm. Specifically, the wavelength of light irradiated to the plasma-resistant complex may be 500 nm to 800 nm, 600 nm to 800 nm, 700 nm to 800 nm, 400 nm to 700 nm, 500 nm to 600 nm, or 600 nm to 700 nm.
[0089] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plasma-resistant composite having an absorption coefficient of 0.1 or greater can be provided. The absorption coefficient represents the degree to which the plasma-resistant composite absorbs light. When the absorption coefficient of the plasma-resistant composite is 0.1 or greater, the integrity of the plasma-resistant composite can be improved, and the bonding strength between the first substrate and the second substrate can be improved.
[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plasma-resistant complex having an absorption coefficient of 0.1 to 0.2 can be provided when irradiated with light having a wavelength of 400 nm to 800 nm. Specifically, the absorption coefficient of the plasma-resistant complex may be 0.12 to 0.2, 0.12 to 0.2, 0.15 to 0.2, 0.18 to 0.2, 0.12 to 0.18, 0.13 to 0.17, 0.14 to 0.16, or 0.18 to 0.19. When the absorption coefficient of the plasma-resistant complex is within the above-mentioned range, the absorption coefficient can be uniformly implemented over the entire area of the plasma-resistant complex. The absorption coefficient of the above plasma complex can be measured using an ellipsometer (Elli-SEU-AM12, Ellipso tech. Co.).
[0091] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wavelength of light irradiated to the plasma-resistant complex may be 400 nm to 800 nm. Specifically, the wavelength of light irradiated to the plasma-resistant complex may be 500 nm to 800 nm, 600 nm to 800 nm, 700 nm to 800 nm, 400 nm to 700 nm, 500 nm to 600 nm, or 600 nm to 700 nm.

[0093] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail using examples. However, the examples according to the present invention may be modified in various ways, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples described below. The examples in this specification are provided to more fully explain the present invention to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0094]
[0095] Examples and Reference Examples
[0096] Table 1 below shows the components and contents of the composition for manufacturing the substrate.
[0097]
[0098] Ingredients: SiO2CaOAl2O3SiO2: Al2O3 content ratio (weight%) 47.1333.9218.952.49:1
[0099]
[0100] A composition was prepared by mixing the ingredients and contents of Table 1 above. The composition was then heated to 1,700°C for 4 hours to melt, and then cooled to room temperature to produce a substrate having a thickness of 0.5 mm. Furthermore, a reference example substrate having a thickness of 1.0 mm was prepared using the same method.
[0101] The substrates manufactured with the above thickness of 0.5 mm were prepared as the first substrate and the second substrate. Afterwards, one side of the second substrate was placed on the first substrate so that it was in contact with each other, and then heated within a temperature range of 750°C to 850°C. While heating the first and second substrates, the second substrate located on the upper side was directed toward the first substrate located on the lower side at a pressure of 1 kg / cm. 2 A first substrate and a second substrate were bonded by applying pressure, and an example of a plasma-resistant composite having a thickness of about 1 mm was manufactured.
[0102]
[0103] Comparative Example 1
[0104] Comparative Example 1, a plasma-resistant composite, was manufactured in the same manner as Example 1, except that the first substrate and the second substrate were heated to 500°C.
[0105]
[0106] Comparative Example 2
[0107] Comparative Example 2, a plasma-resistant composite, was manufactured in the same manner as Example 1, except that the first substrate and the second substrate were heated to 950°C.
[0108]
[0109] <Experimental Example 1: Bonding Evaluation According to Heating Temperature>
[0110] Figure 2 is a photograph of the exterior and cross-section of an embodiment according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 (a) shows the exterior of the embodiment, and Figure 2 (b) is a photograph showing a cross-section of the adhesive surface. Figure 3 is a photograph of the exterior of Comparative Example 1. Figure 4 is a photograph of the exterior of Comparative Example 2.
[0111] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, as shown in FIG. 2 (a) and FIG. 2 (b), a plasma-resistant composite was manufactured by bonding the first substrate and the second substrate.
[0112] Referring to Fig. 3, in Comparative Example 1, where the first substrate and the second substrate were heated at 500°C, the first substrate and the second substrate were not bonded, and thus a plasma-resistant composite was not produced.
[0113] Referring to Fig. 4, in Comparative Example 2, where the first and second substrates were heated at 950°C, the first and second substrates were bonded, but it was confirmed that crystallization occurred within the plasma-resistant composite. If crystallization occurs within the plasma-resistant composite, a deviation in the etching rate depending on the region may occur during the plasma etching process, which may result in a decrease in plasma resistance.
[0114] Through this, it can be seen that by heating and bonding the first substrate and the second substrate in the range of 520°C to 890°C, a plasma-resistant composite can be easily manufactured, and a plasma-resistant composite with excellent optical properties can be manufactured.

[0122]
[0123] Referring to the above Figure 5 and Table 2, the reflectance of the example was measured to be higher than that of the reference example in all wavelength ranges from 410 nm to 800 nm.
[0124] Through this, it was confirmed that the bonding surface of the example has similar crystallinity and bonding strength as the bonding surface of the reference example.
[0125]
[0126] <Experimental Example 3: Measurement of the Absorption Coefficient of a Plasma-Resistant Complex>
[0127] The absorption coefficient of the plasma-resistant complex of the above examples and the above reference examples was measured.
[0128] Specifically, the absorption coefficient at light of 400 nm to 800 nm was measured using an ellipsometer.
[0129] Table 3 below shows the absorption coefficients of the plasma-resistant complexes of the examples and the reference examples above by wavelength.
[0130]

[0132]
[0133] Referring to Table 3 above, it was confirmed that the absorption coefficient of the example was higher than that of the reference example in all wavelength ranges from 400 nm to 800 nm.
