It is placed under the board U to guide a reactive gas 200935511 to the edge of the wafer. The moving rod 15 is placed above the plate 13 to allow the plate 13 to rise and fall. In the electric chamber having the above structure, when electric power is applied to the upper portion, the lower electrode 11 and the wafer chuck 10, 'a reaction gas is supplied between the upper and lower electrodes 12 & U to generate electricity. Pulp. The resulting plasma removes particles or thin films that build up on the edge of the wafer. Ο ❹ However, the conventional plasma etching chamber has a problem in that the reaction gas that has been supplied to the space between the plate 13 and the gas distribution plate 14 is guided to the edge of the crystal®, and the reaction The pressure of the gas at the edge of the wafer is not uniform. That is, since the pressure of the reactive gas at the edge of the wafer varies depending on the position of the edge of the wafer, the electric reticle speed is also different depending on the position of the edge of the wafer, so that the amount of particles removed by the plasma is used. Or the amount of film will vary depending on the wafer location. In addition, the conventional etching chamber has a problem that the edge of the gas distribution plate 14 is contaminated by the plasma. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, in view of the above problems, there is provided a plasma etching chamber capable of maintaining a uniform pressure of a reaction gas directed to an edge of a wafer at all positions and subjecting the gas distribution plate to an electric paddle The pollution is minimized. 0 200935511 Technical Solution According to the embodiment - a plasma etching chamber comprises a gas distribution plate, for guiding the reaction gas to the edge of the wafer; and a plate configured to be spaced apart from the gas distribution plate; And bumper portions that protrude above at least one of 气体pposlte surfaces of the gas distribution plate and the facing surfaces of the plates to allow uniform reaction gas pressure to the edge of the wafer . The Φ electromagnetization chamber may further include upper and lower electrodes, and the lower and lower electrodes are disposed at the edge of the wafer corresponding to each other and the wafer is disposed between the portion and the lower electrode. The damper portions are alternately formed on the gas distribution plate and the plate. The bumper portion can be formed at the edge of the gas distribution plate or plate. The bumper portion can be made into a ring shape. A predetermined interval can be maintained between the gas distribution plate and the plate by a spacer. The spacer may have a height of 1 mm (匪).缓冲器 The damper portion can have a height of 0.6 mm. The gas distribution plate may further comprise a shielding ring covering the bottom and side surfaces of the gas separation plate. The width of the shield ring can range from about 15% to about 40% of the radius of the gas distribution plate. According to another embodiment, a plasma etching chamber includes: a gas distribution plate having a groove formed on a bottom surface thereof; and a baffle disposed inside the groove of the gas distribution plate to be associated with the gas distribution plate Separating and guiding the inert gas supplied to the groove; and the damper portion, the portion of the damper 200935511 protruding at least on the face of the gas distribution plate and the facing surface of the baffle surface to make the inert gas The pressure is even. In accordance with yet another embodiment, a plasma etch chamber includes a gas eight-plate that directs a reactive gas to the edge of the wafer, and a shield ring that is formed at the edge of the gas distribution plate to prevent contamination of the gas distribution plate. In the regenerative chamber, the width of the shield ring may be from about 15% to about 40% of the radius of the gas distribution plate. The crucible can be coated on the surface of the shielding ring. Advantageous Effects As described above, in a plasma etch chamber according to an exemplary embodiment, the buffer 邛 is formed on a gas distribution plate or plate to uniformly remove the film or particles deposited at the edge of the wafer. In addition, the optimum width of the shield ring is maintained to reduce the amount of residue entering between the gas distribution plate and the shield ring, and the cost of replacing the gas distribution plate can be reduced by reducing contamination of the gas distribution plate. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a plasma etching chamber will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. / mesh - part of the cross section of the plasma etching chamber. Figure 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the plasma etch chamber after the enthalpy has been moved. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the page of Fig. Figure 4 is a schematic plan view of a gas distribution plate. 1 and 2 'The plasma remnant chamber 100 includes a chamber wall 20, a moving 200935511 temple 〒 21, 2 and a plate, wherein the chamber wall 20 provides two or two compartments separated from the outside and passes through the chamber The actuator (not shown) of the upper portion of the wall 20 operates the moving rod 21, and the plate is formed below the moving rod 21. The plate includes an upper plate 22 and a lower plate 23. • The lower plate 23 is disposed below the bottom surface of the upper plate 22, and the annular, 4-electrode 24 is disposed along the edge of the lower plate 23. The upper electrode 24 is fixed to the upper plate 22 by the first screw 241. The φ rolling stock distribution plate 25 is disposed below the upper and lower plates 22 and 23, and is spaced apart from the upper and lower plates 22 and 23 by a predetermined space. The gas distribution plate 25 directs the reaction gas to the edge of a wafer. Here, the reaction milk system is supplied between the lower plate 23 and the gas distribution plate 25. The gas distribution plate 25 may be made of an insulating material such as alumina (Al2〇3) 〇 while the lower plate 23 is selectively disposed. When the lower plate 23 is not provided, the gas distribution plate 25 can be directly fixed to the upper plate 22. When the upper plate 22 projects downward toward the thickness of the lower plate 23, the gas distribution plate 25 can be fixed to the protruding portion of the upper plate 22. For example, when not provided, the lower plate 23, the upper plate 22 may project downwardly to the thickness of the removed lower plate 23, or 'may not protrude. A groove 2 5 1 is formed at the center of the bottom surface of the gas distribution plate 25, and the baffle 26 is disposed inside the groove 25 1 . The baffle 26 allows dispensing of an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) that is supplied to the center of the wafer. The baffle 26 is selectively configurable. A shield ring 27 is formed on the bottom of the edge of the gas distribution plate 25 and on the side surface of the table 200935511 to adsorb residues that may be generated when the wafer is etched, for example, a polymer. The shield ring 27 is fixed to the gas distribution plate 25' by the second bolt 252 and the dielectric constant of the shield ring 27 can be different from that of the gas distribution plate 25. For example, the shield ring 27 can be made of a sintered crucible having a dielectric constant ,, and the gas distribution plate 25 can be made of alumina having a dielectric constant of 8 4 . The difference in electrical constant can reduce the accumulation of charge on unnecessary parts due to plasma discharge. The width L1 of the φ shield ring 27 can be set to about 15°/ of the radius L2 of the gas distribution plate 25. To about 40. /^ If the width L1 of the shield ring is less than 15%, the shield ring 27 may not cover the gas distribution plate 25 when the blanket plasma is formed, and the etching residue may enter the interval between the gas distribution plate 25 and the shield ring 27. in. If the width L1 of the shield ring 27 exceeds 40%, the shield ring 27 can cover a portion of the gas distribution plate 25 that is not necessarily covered, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost. For example, the radius L2 of the gas distribution plate 25 may be from about 29 mm to about 3 mm, and the width L1 of the shield ring 27 may be from about 45 mm to about 116 mm. Ymium can be applied to the surface of the gas distribution plate 25 and the shield ring 27.钇 has superior polymer adsorption properties and superior chemical resistance. Therefore, ruthenium allows adsorption and removal of particles during the cleaning process without chemical modification. The annular lower electrode 28 is disposed below the upper electrode 24 while being spaced apart from the upper electrode 24 by a predetermined interval. The wafer chuck 32 is disposed inside the lower electrode 28, and the insulating ring 3 is disposed between the wafer chuck 32 and the lower electrode 200935511. Wafer chuck 32 is electrically coupled to a typical plasma oscillator (not shown) to receive the high frequency applied by the plasma oscillator while vacuum is applied to the top surface of wafer chuck 32. Wafer. The outer diameter of the upper electrode 24 can be the same as that of the lower electrode 28. Therefore, the resulting plasma shape may be completely symmetrical such that it can operate as a low-volume plasma oscillator (iow_capacity plasma 〇scillat〇r). The 曰 3 曰 round chuck 32 is completely insulated from the lower electrode 28 by an insulating layer 34 disposed under the wafer chuck 32. Referring to Fig. 3, the plasma etching chamber 100 includes a damper portion 36 which is disposed in a space between the lower plate 23 and the gas distribution plate through which the reaction gas system is supplied. The damper portion 36 protrudes from the height Η ‘the degree of rain η is smaller than that of the lower plate 23 and the gas distribution plate.

間的間隔高度。舉例來說,氣體分配板25及下部板U 之間的間隔可為1毫米’而緩衝器部分36之高度可為 ⑩ 0.6毫米。 缓衝器部分36藉由阻擋反應氣體流動而使晶圓邊緣 處的反應氣體壓力均勻。緩衝器部分36可沿反應氣體之 行進方向交替形成在下部板23及氣體分配板25上(見第 3圖之彎曲箭頭)。這是為了加長反應氣體之流動路徑, 從而延長反應氣體留在下部板23及氣體分配板25間之 間1^中的時間。緩衝器部分36的數目可依反應氣體壓力 而改變。 如第4圖所不,緩衝器部分36可形成在氣體分配板 200935511 =邊緣,㈣環形形狀突出。複數個間隔物37以一預 定距離形成在氣體分配板25的頂部表面上,以在氣體分 配板25及下部板23之間提供間隔可。此時,緩衝器部 分36的高度小於間隔物之高度。雖然緩衝器部分%; 是環形形狀’但其形狀並不受限於此。也就是說,緩衝 器部分36可以是不同形狀’包含,例如矩形形狀。 ❹ 以下將敘述具有上述配置之電装姓刻室ι〇〇的操作。 利用擋板26來分配透過氣體分配板25所供應的惰性氣 體,以便在晶圓内側形成一無放電區域(〇n_disch零 邮〇11)。同時,供應給下部板23及氣體分配板25的反 應氣體移動至晶圓邊緣,並接著分別施加電Μ至上部及 下Ρ電極24及28以產生電聚。所產生的電聚會姓刻沈 積在從晶圓彡緣之頂部至底部表面部分上的粒子。 在亡述製程中’緩衝器部分36阻擋反應氣體流動,使 反應氣體在晶圓邊緣處的壓力於所有位置皆保持均勻, 從而產生均勾電漿。因此,所有位置的粒子蚀刻速度都 變得相同。另彳’由於屏蔽環27保持最佳寬度,而可有 效預防電漿所造成的氣體分配板污染。 如上文所述’緩衝器部分36形成在氣體分配板乃及 下部板23上’以使反應氣體壓力均句。以如上文所述之 相同方式’上述的緩衝器部分可形成在凹# 251與撐板 26相面對表面的至少一個表面上’以使供應給凹槽hi 之惰性氣體壓力均勻。 已參照範例實施例詳細敘述電漿钱刻室。不過,熟悉 10 200935511 此技術者須了解’在不偏離本發明之原理及精神的情況 下’可對這些實施例中做出變化,本發明範圍係定義在 後附申請專利範圍中且涵蓋其等效物。 產業應用 在一電漿蝕刻室中,沈積在晶圓邊緣之薄膜或粒子可 均勻地移除,並可藉由減少氣體分配板的污 v本,而郎省 氣體分配板之更換成本。The height between the intervals. For example, the spacing between the gas distribution plate 25 and the lower plate U can be 1 mm' and the height of the damper portion 36 can be 10 0.6 mm. The damper portion 36 makes the pressure of the reaction gas at the edge of the wafer uniform by blocking the flow of the reaction gas. The damper portion 36 is alternately formed on the lower plate 23 and the gas distribution plate 25 in the traveling direction of the reaction gas (see the curved arrow in Fig. 3). This is to lengthen the flow path of the reaction gas, thereby prolonging the time during which the reaction gas remains between the lower plate 23 and the gas distribution plate 25. The number of buffer portions 36 may vary depending on the pressure of the reactive gas. As shown in Fig. 4, the damper portion 36 may be formed on the gas distribution plate 200935511 = edge, (4) annular shape protruding. A plurality of spacers 37 are formed on the top surface of the gas distribution plate 25 at a predetermined distance to provide a space between the gas distribution plate 25 and the lower plate 23. At this time, the height of the damper portion 36 is smaller than the height of the spacer. Although the damper portion %; is a ring shape ', its shape is not limited thereto. That is, the buffer portion 36 can be of a different shape 'including, for example, a rectangular shape.操作 The operation of the electric device with the above configuration will be described below. The baffle 26 is used to distribute the inert gas supplied through the gas distribution plate 25 to form a non-discharge region (〇n_disch) 11 inside the wafer. At the same time, the reaction gas supplied to the lower plate 23 and the gas distribution plate 25 is moved to the edge of the wafer, and then electric wires are respectively applied to the upper and lower jaw electrodes 24 and 28 to generate electropolymerization. The generated electric party surname is deposited on the particles from the top of the wafer to the bottom surface portion. In the description process, the buffer portion 36 blocks the flow of the reaction gas so that the pressure of the reaction gas at the edge of the wafer remains uniform at all positions, thereby producing a uniform plasma. Therefore, the particle etching speeds at all positions become the same.彳' Because the shield ring 27 maintains the optimum width, it can effectively prevent contamination of the gas distribution plate caused by the plasma. The damper portion 36 is formed on the gas distribution plate and the lower plate 23 as described above to make the reaction gas pressure uniform. In the same manner as described above, the above-described damper portion may be formed on at least one surface of the concave surface of the concave surface 251 and the gusset 26 to make the pressure of the inert gas supplied to the groove hi uniform. The plasma pad chamber has been described in detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments.
