The present application discloses a dual-stage pressure-regulated
plasma etching and cleaning equipment and a
wafer processing method, wherein the equipment includes a main chamber, a
remote plasma source, a sub-chamber, a
vacuum pump, a first valve plate, a second valve plate and a flow limiting plate, wherein a flow limiting hole is provided on the flow limiting plate; the flow limiting hole lays the foundation for the
pressure difference, and then cooperates with the second valve plate and the pressure regulating valve to dynamically compensate for the flow fluctuation, thereby achieving
millisecond-level precise control of the dual-
chamber pressure, and ensuring that both working
modes can operate efficiently; the
wafer processing method targets polysilicon gates or polysilicon-based structures, and in the degumming stage, free radicals react with
etching residues, and the reaction products are all gaseous, which can be extracted by a
vacuum pump; through this "
etching and degumming integration" collaborative process, the characteristics of polysilicon materials and the advantages of the dual-stage pressure regulation equipment are fully utilized, while ensuring
process quality, achieving a balance between efficiency, cost and
environmental protection.
