Description

抽氣環組件及氣相沉積設備Pumping ring assembly and vapor deposition equipment

本發明涉及半導體裝備技術領域,具體涉及一種抽氣環組件及氣相沉積設備。 The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor equipment technology, and specifically to an exhaust ring assembly and a vapor deposition device.

通過不同氣體源在晶圓上形成薄膜是半導體工藝的重要步驟,包括化學氣相沉積(CVD)、物理氣相沉積(PVD)等。氣相沉積設備進行沉積反應時,反應氣體經過進氣裝置進入反應腔內,然後通過抽氣環組件將反應後的多餘氣體抽離反應腔。抽氣環組件的抽氣均勻性是影響反應成膜厚度均勻性的其中一個關鍵因素,能夠均勻抽氣的抽氣環組件有利於在托盤組件承載的晶圓外周形成穩定的流場,進而提高薄膜沉積的均勻度,確保沉積薄膜的質量。 Forming thin films on wafers through different gas sources is an important step in semiconductor processes, including chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), etc. When the vapor deposition equipment performs deposition reactions, the reaction gas enters the reaction chamber through the gas inlet device, and then the excess gas after the reaction is extracted from the reaction chamber through the exhaust ring assembly. The exhaust uniformity of the exhaust ring assembly is one of the key factors affecting the uniformity of the thickness of the reaction film. An exhaust ring assembly that can evenly exhaust gas is conducive to forming a stable flow field around the periphery of the wafer carried by the tray assembly, thereby improving the uniformity of film deposition and ensuring the quality of the deposited film.

習知技術的抽氣環組件如圖1所示,其包括中空的抽氣環01,連接在抽氣環01底部的4根或以上數量的排氣管02和多根抽氣環支撐03。這種抽氣環組件的技術問題是:1、排氣管02連接於抽氣環01的底面,其管徑不能超過抽氣環01底面的內外徑之差,而受反應腔內的元件佈局限制,抽氣環01不能夠設計有徑向寬度更寬的底面,所以排氣管02的管徑及抽氣速率受限;2、由於技術問題1的限制,故習知技術的抽氣環組件需設置4根以上的排氣管02才能滿足抽氣速率的需求,而各排氣管02的底端需與腔外排氣管路焊接,這就要求排氣管02的底端滿足至少四個面的平面度,增加了加工難度;3、在必須增大抽氣速率的 情況下,就不得不增加抽氣環01的直徑和徑向寬度,進而才能增加排氣管02的管徑,但這會對腔內元件佈局產生一系列的影響,例如其會導致增加設置在抽氣環01頂部的壓緊環的直徑,從而佔據更大的腔內空間,對傳片口的百葉窗的設計造成干擾;4、抽氣環支撐03的材料質感為陶瓷,其兩端分別連接抽氣環01底部和反應腔的底壁,高度較高,所以在設備工作時兩端會產生較大的溫差,進而影響陶瓷的使用壽命。 The conventional air pumping ring assembly is shown in FIG. 1 , which includes a hollow air pumping ring 01 , four or more exhaust pipes 02 connected to the bottom of the air pumping ring 01 , and a plurality of air pumping ring supports 03 . The technical problems of this exhaust ring assembly are: 1. The exhaust pipe 02 is connected to the bottom surface of the exhaust ring 01, and its diameter cannot exceed the difference between the inner and outer diameters of the bottom surface of the exhaust ring 01. However, due to the layout of the components in the reaction chamber, the exhaust ring 01 cannot be designed with a bottom surface with a wider radial width, so the diameter of the exhaust pipe 02 and the exhaust rate are limited; 2. Due to the limitation of technical problem 1, the exhaust ring assembly of the prior art needs to be equipped with more than 4 exhaust pipes 02 to meet the exhaust rate requirements, and the bottom end of each exhaust pipe 02 needs to be welded to the exhaust pipeline outside the cavity, which requires the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 02 to meet the flatness of at least four faces, which increases the pressure. 3. When the pumping rate must be increased, the diameter and radial width of the pumping ring 01 must be increased, and then the diameter of the exhaust pipe 02 can be increased, but this will have a series of effects on the layout of the components in the cavity. For example, it will increase the diameter of the compression ring set on the top of the pumping ring 01, thereby occupying a larger space in the cavity and interfering with the design of the shutter of the sensor port; 4. The material texture of the pumping ring support 03 is ceramic, and its two ends are connected to the bottom of the pumping ring 01 and the bottom wall of the reaction chamber respectively, and the height is relatively high, so when the equipment is working, a large temperature difference will be generated at the two ends, thereby affecting the service life of the ceramic.

本發明的目的在於提供一種抽氣環組件及氣相沉積設備,能夠在不影響腔內元件佈局的情況下增加排氣管的管徑,並且減少排氣管的數量,滿足工藝對抽氣速率的要求,降低加工難度和加工成本,以及增加抽氣環支撐的使用壽命。 The purpose of the present invention is to provide an exhaust ring assembly and a vapor deposition device, which can increase the diameter of the exhaust pipe without affecting the layout of the components in the cavity, and reduce the number of exhaust pipes, meet the process requirements for the exhaust rate, reduce the processing difficulty and processing cost, and increase the service life of the exhaust ring support.

所述下抽氣環在所述反應腔1內設置於所述上抽氣環51的下方,包括2個或3個沿托盤組件3周向分佈的圓弧狀的下抽氣單元52,各所述下抽氣單元52中空形成下抽氣腔,各所述下抽氣腔之間分立設置,即相鄰的下抽氣腔不直接橫向連通,但是分別向上與上抽氣腔連通,以節省下抽氣環的製作成本和製作難度。在一些實施例中,所述上抽氣環51的底面設置有多個上通氣孔,下抽氣腔上表面開放設置形成與下抽氣單元52橫截面相同的開口,當下抽氣單元抵接到上抽氣環51下表面時,所述上抽氣腔通過上通氣孔與各下抽氣腔連通,上抽氣環51的下表面充當下抽氣腔的上表面。進一步,在一些實施例中,各所述下抽氣單元52的頂面與上抽氣環51的底面抵接,各所述下抽氣單元52的頂面設置有與各上通氣孔相適配的下通氣孔,且各所述下抽氣單元52上開設的下通氣孔的數量相同;所述抽氣環組件安裝後,各所述上、下通氣孔一一對應地對準 連接,上抽氣腔與下抽氣腔之間通過上、下通氣孔連通。 The lower air pumping ring is arranged below the upper air pumping ring 51 in the reaction chamber 1, and includes 2 or 3 arc-shaped lower air pumping units 52 distributed along the circumference of the tray assembly 3. Each of the lower air pumping units 52 is hollow to form a lower air pumping cavity. The lower air pumping cavities are separately arranged, that is, adjacent lower air pumping cavities are not directly connected horizontally, but are connected upward with the upper air pumping cavity, so as to save the manufacturing cost and difficulty of the lower air pumping ring. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the upper air pumping ring 51 is provided with a plurality of upper air vents, and the upper surface of the lower air pumping cavity is open to form an opening having the same cross-section as the lower air pumping unit 52. When the lower air pumping unit abuts against the lower surface of the upper air pumping ring 51, the upper air pumping cavity is connected with each lower air pumping cavity through the upper air vents, and the lower surface of the upper air pumping ring 51 serves as the upper surface of the lower air pumping cavity. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the top surface of each lower air pumping unit 52 abuts against the bottom surface of the upper air pumping ring 51, and the top surface of each lower air pumping unit 52 is provided with a lower air vent that matches each upper air vent, and the number of lower air vents opened on each lower air pumping unit 52 is the same; after the air pumping ring assembly is installed, each upper and lower air vent is aligned and connected one by one, and the upper air pumping cavity and the lower air pumping cavity are connected through the upper and lower air vents.

所述排氣管53的數量與所述下抽氣單元52一致,其一一對應地設置在各所述下抽氣單元52的下方,各所述排氣管53的頂端分別與對應的下抽氣腔連通,底端與所述反應腔1的外部連通。優選地,在一些實施例中,各所述排氣管53的頂端分別與對應的下抽氣單元52的底面連接,所述下抽氣單元52底面的內外徑之差大於頂面的內外徑之差,即下抽氣單元52的底面的徑向寬度大於上抽氣環51底面的徑向寬度,由於底面的徑向寬度加大了,進而能夠加大與其連接的排氣管53的管徑,從而增加其抽氣速率;對於一些必須增加抽氣速率的情況,可以僅增加排氣管53的管徑而不必增加上抽氣環51及其上的壓緊環6的尺寸,從而避免了對腔內元件佈局造成干擾。進一步,由於排氣管53的管徑增粗提高了其單管抽氣速率,所以可以進一步的減少排氣管53的數量,以降低其末端平面度要求從而減輕加工難度,優選地,在一些實施例中,所述下抽氣單元52為2個,所述排氣管53也為2個。通常多個排氣管53並聯後接到同一個泵上,設置與抽氣單元52相同數量的排氣管,即可以減少空間佔用,又可以保證在泵的抽力一定時,分配到每個排氣管的流量足夠大。 The number of the exhaust pipes 53 is consistent with the lower air pumping units 52, and they are arranged one by one under each of the lower air pumping units 52. The top end of each exhaust pipe 53 is connected to the corresponding lower air pumping cavity, and the bottom end is connected to the outside of the reaction chamber 1. Preferably, in some embodiments, the top end of each exhaust pipe 53 is respectively connected to the bottom surface of the corresponding lower air pumping unit 52, and the difference between the inner and outer diameters of the bottom surface of the lower air pumping unit 52 is greater than the difference between the inner and outer diameters of the top surface, that is, the radial width of the bottom surface of the lower air pumping unit 52 is greater than the radial width of the bottom surface of the upper air pumping ring 51. Since the radial width of the bottom surface is increased, the diameter of the exhaust pipe 53 connected thereto can be increased, thereby increasing its air pumping rate; for some situations where the air pumping rate must be increased, only the diameter of the exhaust pipe 53 can be increased without increasing the size of the upper air pumping ring 51 and the compression ring 6 thereon, thereby avoiding interference with the layout of the components in the cavity. Furthermore, since the diameter of the exhaust pipe 53 is increased to improve its single-pipe exhaust rate, the number of exhaust pipes 53 can be further reduced to reduce the flatness requirement of the end and thus reduce the difficulty of processing. Preferably, in some embodiments, there are two lower exhaust units 52 and two exhaust pipes 53. Usually, multiple exhaust pipes 53 are connected in parallel to the same pump. The same number of exhaust pipes as the exhaust units 52 are provided, which can reduce space occupation and ensure that the flow rate allocated to each exhaust pipe is large enough when the pumping force of the pump is constant.

進一步,在一些實施例中,所述上抽氣環51與下抽氣單元52之間,以及所述下抽氣單元52與排氣管53之間通過壓接方式固定,加工難度低且具有較好的密封效果。 Furthermore, in some embodiments, the upper air pumping ring 51 and the lower air pumping unit 52, and the lower air pumping unit 52 and the exhaust pipe 53 are fixed by crimping, which has low processing difficulty and good sealing effect.

所述抽氣環支撐54的頂端與下抽氣單元52的底面連接,底端支撐於反應腔1的底壁上,用於支撐抽氣環組件,由於抽氣環支撐54是設置在下抽氣環的下方,所以其相對於習知技術縮短了高度,抽氣環支撐54的頂端遠離溫度最高的上抽氣環51,進而在設備工作時減少了兩端的溫差,增加了其使用壽命。 本發明對抽氣環支撐54的數量不做具體限定,但從減輕加工難度、降低成本的角度考慮,在滿足平穩支撐的前提下,其數量越少越好,本實施例中,下抽氣單元52為2個,抽氣環支撐54為4個,在每個下抽氣單元52的下方均勻設置2個。本發明對抽氣環支撐54與下抽氣單元52的底面之間的固定方式不做具體限定。 The top of the pumping ring support 54 is connected to the bottom surface of the lower pumping unit 52, and the bottom is supported on the bottom wall of the reaction chamber 1 to support the pumping ring assembly. Since the pumping ring support 54 is arranged below the lower pumping ring, its height is shortened compared to the prior art. The top of the pumping ring support 54 is far away from the upper pumping ring 51 with the highest temperature, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the two ends when the equipment is working, thereby increasing its service life. The present invention does not specifically limit the number of the exhaust ring supports 54, but from the perspective of reducing the difficulty of processing and reducing costs, the fewer the better, provided that the support is stable. In this embodiment, there are two lower exhaust units 52 and four exhaust ring supports 54, and two are evenly arranged below each lower exhaust unit 52. The present invention does not specifically limit the fixing method between the exhaust ring support 54 and the bottom surface of the lower exhaust unit 52.

由於抽吸副產物及多餘的反應氣體時的均勻性會影響薄膜沉積的均勻度,所以抽氣環組件的氣道需要滿足抽氣均勻性的要求,優選地,在一些實施例中,所述上抽氣環51通過吸氣口511(圖5)連通反應腔1內腔與其上抽氣腔,所述吸氣口511為在上抽氣環51的外壁上開設的環形口或沿上抽氣環的周向均勻分佈的多個孔,從而反應腔1的內腔至上抽氣腔之間的氣道滿足抽氣均勻性要求。進一步,在一些實施例中,所述上抽氣環51的各上通氣孔與下抽氣單元52的各下通氣孔一一對準連接,且各上通氣孔的孔徑相同、沿上抽氣環51的周向均勻分佈,從而上抽氣腔與下抽氣腔之間的氣道滿足抽氣均勻性要求。進一步,在一些實施例中,各所述下抽氣單元52的形狀、大小相同,沿所述托盤組件3的周向均勻分佈,從而各下抽氣腔滿足抽氣均勻性要求。進一步,在一些實施例中,各所述排氣管53的管徑相同,各所述排氣管53在其對應的下抽氣單元52上的設置位置相同,從而各所述排氣管53滿足抽氣均勻性要求;優選地,各所述排氣管53相對於其對應的下抽氣單元52居中設置。 Since the uniformity of pumping by-products and excess reaction gas will affect the uniformity of film deposition, the air duct of the vacuum ring assembly needs to meet the requirements of vacuum uniformity. Preferably, in some embodiments, the upper vacuum ring 51 connects the inner cavity of the reaction chamber 1 with its upper vacuum chamber through the suction port 511 (Figure 5), and the suction port 511 is an annular port opened on the outer wall of the upper vacuum ring 51 or a plurality of holes uniformly distributed along the circumference of the upper vacuum ring, so that the air duct from the inner cavity of the reaction chamber 1 to the upper vacuum chamber meets the requirements of vacuum uniformity. Furthermore, in some embodiments, each upper vent hole of the upper air pumping ring 51 is aligned and connected with each lower vent hole of the lower air pumping unit 52, and each upper vent hole has the same aperture and is evenly distributed along the circumference of the upper air pumping ring 51, so that the airway between the upper air pumping cavity and the lower air pumping cavity meets the air pumping uniformity requirement. Furthermore, in some embodiments, each lower air pumping unit 52 has the same shape and size and is evenly distributed along the circumference of the tray assembly 3, so that each lower air pumping cavity meets the air pumping uniformity requirement. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the diameters of the exhaust pipes 53 are the same, and the exhaust pipes 53 are arranged at the same position on the corresponding lower exhaust unit 52, so that the exhaust pipes 53 meet the exhaust uniformity requirements; preferably, the exhaust pipes 53 are arranged centrally relative to the corresponding lower exhaust unit 52.
