Description

一種含可調節升降頂針組件的電漿處理裝置及其方法A plasma treatment device and method including an adjustable lifting thimble assembly

本發明涉及微電子加工技術領域和電漿處理裝置及其基片襯底調節領域,具體涉及一種含可調節升降頂針組件的電漿處理裝置及其方法。The invention relates to the technical field of microelectronic processing and the field of plasma processing device and substrate adjustment thereof, in particular to a plasma processing device with an adjustable lifting thimble assembly and a method thereof.

目前常採用電漿刻蝕、物理氣相沉積、化學氣相沉積等製程方式對半導體製程元件或襯底進行微加工,例如製造撓性顯示屏、平板顯示器、發光二極體、太陽能電池等。微加工製造的不同步驟可以包含電漿輔助製程,這種製程一般在真空反應腔內進行。為了保證製程中晶圓的均勻性,需保證晶圓水平放置,另外,也需要保證真空反應腔的潔淨度,從而防止晶圓樣品受到污染。At present, plasma etching, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition and other process methods are often used to micro-process semiconductor process components or substrates, such as manufacturing flexible display screens, flat panel displays, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, etc. The different steps of microfabrication can include plasma-assisted processing, which is typically performed in a vacuum chamber. In order to ensure the uniformity of the wafer during the process, it is necessary to ensure that the wafer is placed horizontally. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the vacuum reaction chamber to prevent contamination of the wafer sample.

在電漿處理裝置中,傳統的承載台為一種靜電夾盤,在電漿處理過程中利用靜電力將晶圓夾持或固定住。靜電夾盤與晶圓之間產生極性相反的靜電荷,從而產生靜電夾持力。In the plasma processing device, the traditional carrier is an electrostatic chuck, which uses electrostatic force to clamp or fix the wafer during the plasma processing process. An electrostatic chuck of opposite polarity is generated between the electrostatic chuck and the wafer, resulting in an electrostatic clamping force.

傳統的電漿處理裝置一般包含:真空反應腔101,真空反應腔101內包含一個用於支撐晶圓的配置盤102(facility plate),配置盤102上包含用於放置待處理晶圓的靜電夾盤104,配置盤102和靜電夾盤104都設有複數個通孔,配置盤102上各個通孔與靜電夾盤104上對應的各個通孔形成豎直方向的導向通道105,升降頂針組件106穿過導向通道105與晶圓接觸。各升降頂針組件106均包含升降頂針1061和升降頂針波紋管中心軸1062,升降頂針1061的下部嵌設在升降頂針波紋管中心軸1062的上部,升降頂針1061主要依靠O型環107固定在升降頂針波紋管中心軸1062上以實現固定連接。A traditional plasma processing device generally includes: a vacuum reaction chamber 101, which contains a configuration plate 102 (facility plate) for supporting the wafer, and the configuration plate 102 contains an electrostatic clamp for placing the wafer to be processed The disk 104, the configuration disk 102 and the electrostatic chuck 104 are all provided with a plurality of through holes, each through hole on the configuration disk 102 and each corresponding through hole on the electrostatic chuck 104 form a vertical guide channel 105, and the lifting thimble assembly 106 Contacts the wafer through the guide channel 105 . Each lifting thimble assembly 106 includes a lifting thimble 1061 and a lifting thimble bellows central shaft 1062. The lower part of the lifting thimble 1061 is embedded in the upper part of the lifting thimble bellows 1062. The lifting thimble 1061 is mainly fixed on the lifting thimble by an O-ring 107. Bellows central axis 1062 to achieve a fixed connection.

目前經常使用的升降頂針組件106及其配合部件一般由複數個零件組成,其存在較多的安裝公差,結構也較為複雜。通常升降頂針1061依靠O型環107固定,而不能直接進行垂直高度調節。The commonly used lifting thimble assembly 106 and its matching components are generally composed of a plurality of parts, which have more installation tolerances and are more complicated in structure. Usually the lifting thimble 1061 is fixed by the O-ring 107, and the vertical height cannot be adjusted directly.

如果需要調節升降頂針1061的高度,只能拆掉靜電夾盤104和配置盤102,十分麻煩,多次拆卸對器械的使用壽命也會造成影響,在調節時也可能會帶入顆粒,容易造成顆粒沉積影響裝置的腔室環境,並且不能保證重新裝回靜電夾盤104後所有升降頂針1061的頂端都在同一個高度上,難以保證調節後的升降頂針1061的垂直度及零部件之間的平面度,造成裝配精度較低,對電漿處理裝置設備的維護和使用帶來了不便。If it is necessary to adjust the height of the lifting thimble 1061, only the electrostatic chuck 104 and the configuration plate 102 can be removed, which is very troublesome. Multiple disassembly will also affect the service life of the device, and particles may be brought in during the adjustment, which is easy to cause Particle deposition affects the chamber environment of the device, and it cannot be guaranteed that the tops of all lifting thimbles 1061 are at the same height after reinstalling the electrostatic chuck 104, and it is difficult to ensure the verticality of the adjusted lifting thimbles 1061 and the distance between parts. Flatness results in low assembly accuracy, which brings inconvenience to the maintenance and use of plasma treatment equipment.
