Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及原子层刻蚀技术领域,特别涉及一种原子层刻蚀反应装置及刻蚀方法。The invention relates to the technical field of atomic layer etching, in particular to an atomic layer etching reaction device and an etching method.
背景技术Background technique
原子层刻蚀(ALE)是一种能够精密控制被去除的材料量的先进技术。实现这一技术的一大关键在于将刻蚀工艺分为两个步骤:改性(步骤A)和去除(步骤B)。第一步(步骤A)对表面层进行改性处理,使其在第二步(步骤B)中能够被轻易去除。每次循环只去除薄薄一层材料,可重复循环直至达到期望的深度。Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) is an advanced technique that enables precise control of the amount of material removed. One of the keys to realizing this technology is to divide the etching process into two steps: modification (step A) and removal (step B). The first step (step A) modifies the surface layer so that it can be easily removed in the second step (step B). Only a thin layer of material is removed with each cycle, and cycles can be repeated until the desired depth is achieved.
对于原子层刻蚀反应,需要对衬底表面的离子束或中性粒子束能量进行精准调控。现有常规的能量调控方式通常是对离子发生器本身进行调节(如调节功率、气压等),但上述方式会受到离子束或中性粒子束发生装置与衬底距离固定的局限。因此,如何对运动到衬底表面的离子束或中性粒子束的能量分布要求可以实现精准调控成为亟待解决的问题。For the atomic layer etching reaction, it is necessary to precisely control the energy of the ion beam or neutral particle beam on the substrate surface. The existing conventional energy control method is usually to adjust the ion generator itself (such as adjusting power, air pressure, etc.), but the above-mentioned method will be limited by the fixed distance between the ion beam or neutral particle beam generating device and the substrate. Therefore, how to accurately control the energy distribution requirements of the ion beam or neutral particle beam moving to the substrate surface has become an urgent problem to be solved.

现有常规的能量调控方式通常是对离子发生器本身的调节(如调节功率、气压等)。图1为原子层刻蚀反应的反应过程流程图。对于原子层刻蚀反应,首先,氯气(Cl2)或氯离子被导入刻蚀腔,氯气分子吸附于(或者被吸收入)硅材料的表面,形成一个氯化层。这一改性步骤(步骤A)具有“自限制性”:表面一旦饱和,反应立即停止。The existing conventional energy regulation method is usually to adjust the ion generator itself (such as adjusting power, air pressure, etc.). Fig. 1 is a flow chart of the reaction process of the atomic layer etching reaction. For the atomic layer etching reaction, first, chlorine gas (Cl2) or chlorine ions are introduced into the etching chamber, and chlorine gas molecules are adsorbed (or absorbed) on the surface of the silicon material to form a chloride layer. This modification step (step A) is "self-limiting": once the surface is saturated, the reaction stops immediately.
接着,清除刻蚀腔中过量的氯气,并引入氩离子(Ar+)。这些氩离子轰击硅片,物理性去除硅-氯反应后产生的氯化层,进而留下下层未经改性的硅表面。这一去除步骤(步骤B)仍然是有自限制性的,因为一旦氯化层被全部去除后,该过程也将终止。上述两个步骤完成后,一层极薄的材料就能被精确地从硅片上去除。Next, excess chlorine gas in the etching chamber is removed, and argon ions (Ar+) are introduced. These argon ions bombard the silicon wafer, physically removing the chloride layer created by the silicon-chlorine reaction, leaving the underlying unmodified silicon surface. This removal step (step B) is still self-limiting, since the process is also terminated once the chloride layer has been completely removed. After the above two steps are completed, an extremely thin layer of material can be precisely removed from the silicon wafer.
离子束或中性粒子束在刻蚀腔中必然存在一种分布。如对氩离子(Ar+)能量进行精准调控:氩离子(Ar+)从氩气被电离到扩散至衬底表面,存在一个分布,衬底处于氩离子分布的哪个区域会直接影响衬底表面的原子层刻蚀效率以及精准性。而我们对于运动到衬底表面离子束或中性粒子束的能量分布要求可以实现精准调控,不必再拘泥离子束或中性粒子束发生装置与衬底距离固定的局限。There must be a distribution of ion beam or neutral particle beam in the etching chamber. For example, the energy of argon ions (Ar+) is precisely regulated: argon ions (Ar+) are ionized from argon to diffuse to the substrate surface, there is a distribution, which area of the substrate is in the distribution of argon ions will directly affect the atoms on the substrate surface Layer etching efficiency and accuracy. However, we require that the energy distribution of the ion beam or neutral particle beam moving to the surface of the substrate can be precisely regulated, and there is no need to be limited by the fixed distance between the ion beam or neutral particle beam generating device and the substrate.
因此,本文公开的示例性择取粒子能量场区域的原子层刻蚀反应装置原子层刻蚀反应装置及刻蚀方法,多轴并联臂平台总成31与基片托盘32连接并能带动基片托盘32做平移、旋转或倾斜运动,基片托盘32能自如地在不同时刻出现在离子场不同位置,进而实现精准调控基片所需要的能量。Therefore, in the exemplary atomic layer etching reaction device and etching method for selecting the particle energy field region disclosed herein, the multi-axis parallel
