Description
本發明涉及半導體加工技術領域,具體涉及一種反應腔諧振頻率可調的電漿處理裝置。 The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor processing technology, and more particularly to a plasma processing device with an adjustable reaction cavity resonant frequency.
電漿處理裝置廣泛應用於半導體晶圓的加工製造過程中,比如電漿沉積、蝕刻等。如圖1所示為典型的電漿處理裝置結構示意圖。該電漿處理裝置包括反應腔100,其由金屬製成且接地,以實現對腔內射頻場的屏蔽;該反應腔100包括位於頂部的氣體噴淋頭和一與所述氣體噴淋頭相對設置的基座,所述氣體噴淋頭用於向反應腔100輸送反應氣體,同時作為反應腔100的上電極141,所述基座作為下電極111;所述基座上方還設有靜電卡盤112,通過該靜電卡盤112固定待處理的晶圓。一射頻導桿150連接基座和反應腔外部的射頻電源,該射頻電源發出的射頻功率經過匹配網路和射頻導桿150後施加至下電極,在上下電極之間形成射頻電場,從而電離上下電極間的反應氣體生成電漿,該電漿對基座上方的待處理晶圓進行蝕刻工藝。 Plasma processing devices are widely used in the processing and manufacturing of semiconductor wafers, such as plasma deposition and etching. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a typical plasma processing device structure. The plasma processing device includes a reaction chamber 100, which is made of metal and grounded to shield the radio frequency field within the chamber. The reaction chamber 100 includes a gas shower head located at the top and a base arranged opposite the gas shower head. The gas shower head is used to transport reaction gas to the reaction chamber 100 and serves as the upper electrode 141 of the reaction chamber 100. The base serves as the lower electrode 111. An electrostatic chuck 112 is also provided above the base, and the wafer to be processed is fixed by the electrostatic chuck 112. An RF guide rod 150 connects the susceptor and an RF power source outside the reaction chamber. The RF power from the RF power source passes through a matching network and the RF guide rod 150 before being applied to the lower electrode. This creates an RF electric field between the upper and lower electrodes, ionizing the reactive gas between them to generate plasma. This plasma then etches the wafer to be processed above the susceptor.
環繞所述基座設置有聚焦環121用於調節晶圓邊緣的電場分佈,實現蝕刻過程中電漿的均勻控制,在聚焦環121的外緣還環繞設置有覆蓋環122,用於防止電漿對覆蓋環122下方的各部件的侵蝕。環繞所述覆蓋環122設置有電漿約束環123,在排出反應氣體的同時將電漿約束在下電極111上方的反應區域 內。電漿約束環123下方設置一接地環132,為電漿約束環123提供電磁屏蔽,並在反應腔內形成一射頻接地回路。接地環132和基座之間還設置一絕緣環131,將施加到下電極111上的射頻訊號屏蔽在基座內。 A focusing ring 121 surrounds the susceptor to adjust the electric field distribution at the wafer edge, ensuring uniform plasma control during the etching process. A cover ring 122 surrounds the outer edge of the focusing ring 121 to prevent plasma erosion of components beneath it. A plasma confinement ring 123 surrounds the cover ring 122, confining the plasma within the reaction zone above the lower electrode 111 while exhausting reactive gases. A grounding ring 132 is located below the plasma confinement ring 123, providing electromagnetic shielding for the plasma confinement ring 123 and forming an RF ground loop within the reaction chamber. An insulating ring 131 is also provided between the ground ring 132 and the base to shield the radio frequency signal applied to the lower electrode 111 within the base.
目前,使用上述電漿處理裝置應用不同的射頻頻率進行蝕刻時,為了保證蝕刻速率的穩定,在設計反應腔時,需嚴格測算反應腔腔體的諧振頻率,使腔體的諧振頻率避開射頻頻率以及射頻頻率的倍頻。 Currently, when using the aforementioned plasma processing equipment to etch at different RF frequencies, in order to ensure a stable etching rate, the resonant frequency of the reaction chamber must be strictly measured during the design of the reaction chamber to ensure that the resonant frequency of the cavity avoids the RF frequency and its multiples.
而隨著技術節點的不斷推進,越來越多的射頻頻率被應用在電漿蝕刻中,目前已擴展至400kHz、2MHz、13.56MHz、40MHz、60MHz等,腔體的諧振頻率需要避開的頻率隨之增多;為了進一步擴大工藝窗口,電漿處理裝置還開始採用雙頻甚至多頻配置,因此腔體的諧振頻率不僅需要避開各個主頻,還需要兼顧各主頻的倍頻及各主頻間的差頻。由於腔體的諧振頻率由腔體的結構決定,多頻配置極大地增加了腔體的設計難度。 With the continuous advancement of technology, an increasing number of RF frequencies are being used in plasma etching, currently expanding to 400kHz, 2MHz, 13.56MHz, 40MHz, and 60MHz. This has led to an increasing number of frequencies that the cavity's resonant frequency must avoid. To further expand the process window, plasma processing equipment is beginning to adopt dual-frequency or even multi-frequency configurations. Therefore, the cavity's resonant frequency must not only avoid each main frequency but also take into account the multiples of each main frequency and the difference frequencies between them. Because the cavity's resonant frequency is determined by the cavity structure, multi-frequency configurations significantly increase the difficulty of cavity design.
本發明的目的是提出一種不改變腔體結構而調節腔體內諧振頻率的電漿處理裝置,以解決目前電漿處理裝置多頻配置對腔體結構設計要求高的問題。 The purpose of this invention is to provide a plasma processing device that adjusts the resonant frequency within the cavity without changing the cavity structure, thereby resolving the problem that the multi-frequency configuration of current plasma processing devices places high demands on the cavity structure design.

本發明公開了一種腔體諧振頻率可調的電漿處理裝置,如圖2所示,包括:由反應腔頂壁、反應腔底壁101和反應腔側壁包圍形成的反應腔100’,所述反應腔100’內包括位於頂部的氣體噴淋頭和一與所述氣體噴淋頭相對設置的基座,所述氣體噴淋頭作為反應腔100’的上電極141,所述基座作為下電極組件111,該上電極141和下電極組件111之間(虛線區域)為電漿處理區域;射頻導桿150將外部的射頻電源通過該射頻導桿150傳輸至下電極組件111,從而施加射頻頻率至下電極組件111;工藝過程中,反應氣體通過氣體噴淋頭輸送至反應腔100’內,射頻頻率施加到下電極組件111上,在上下電極之間產生射頻電場,對上下電極之間的反應氣體電離,從而產生電漿對基座上的待處理晶圓進行蝕刻。 The present invention discloses a plasma processing device with adjustable cavity resonant frequency, as shown in FIG2 , comprising: a reaction chamber 100′ surrounded by a reaction chamber top wall, a reaction chamber bottom wall 101, and reaction chamber side walls; the reaction chamber 100′ includes a gas shower head at the top and a base disposed opposite the gas shower head; the gas shower head serves as an upper electrode 141 of the reaction chamber 100′, the base serves as a lower electrode assembly 111, and the upper electrode 141 and the lower electrode assembly 111 are spaced apart. The dotted area represents the plasma processing area. RF guide rods 150 transmit external RF power to the lower electrode assembly 111, thereby applying RF frequency to the lower electrode assembly 111. During the process, a reactive gas is delivered into the reaction chamber 100' via a gas showerhead. The RF frequency is applied to the lower electrode assembly 111, generating an RF electric field between the upper and lower electrodes. This ionizes the reactive gas between the upper and lower electrodes, generating plasma that etches the wafer to be processed on the susceptor.
所述基座上方還設有靜電卡盤112,該靜電卡盤112可產生靜電吸 力,以在工藝過程中支撐固定待處理晶圓。環繞所述基座設置有聚焦環121和覆蓋環122,所述聚焦環121用於調節晶圓邊緣的電場分佈,實現蝕刻過程中電漿的均勻控制,所述覆蓋環122用於防止反應腔內的電漿對覆蓋環122下方的各部件的侵蝕。環繞該覆蓋環122還設有電漿約束環123,在排出反應氣體的同時將電漿約束在上下電極之間的反應區域內。所述電漿約束環123下方設置有一接地環132,該接地環132作為射頻屏蔽部件為電漿約束環123提供電磁屏蔽,並在反應腔內形成一射頻接地回路。所述接地環132和基座之間還設有一絕緣環131,配合反應腔腔壁將施加到下電極組件111上的射頻訊號屏蔽在反應腔內。 An electrostatic chuck 112 is mounted above the susceptor, generating electrostatic attraction to support and secure the wafer during processing. Surrounding the susceptor are a focusing ring 121 and a cover ring 122. The focusing ring 121 adjusts the electric field distribution at the wafer edge, ensuring uniform plasma control during etching. The cover ring 122 prevents plasma in the reaction chamber from corroding components beneath it. Surrounding the cover ring 122 is a plasma confinement ring 123, which confines the plasma within the reaction zone between the upper and lower electrodes while exhausting the reactive gases. Below the plasma confinement ring 123 is a grounding ring 132, which acts as an RF shield, providing electromagnetic shielding for the plasma confinement ring 123 and forming an RF ground loop within the reaction chamber. An insulating ring 131 is also located between the grounding ring 132 and the base, working in conjunction with the reaction chamber walls to shield the RF signal applied to the lower electrode assembly 111 from the reaction chamber.
為了調節腔體的諧振頻率,在本實施例中,所述下電極組件111、所述反應腔底壁101、接地環132構成的空間內設置有移動接地環140作為電容調節裝置,所述移動接地環140環繞設置在射頻導桿150外圍,且所述移動接地環140的上表面與下電極組件111的下表面大致平行,所述移動接地環140由導電材料製成,所述移動接地環140與下電極組件111構成第一平行板電容C1。 To adjust the cavity's resonant frequency, in this embodiment, a movable ground ring 140 is installed within the space formed by the lower electrode assembly 111, the reaction chamber bottom wall 101, and the ground ring 132, serving as a capacitance adjustment device. The movable ground ring 140 surrounds the RF guide rod 150, with its upper surface roughly parallel to the lower surface of the lower electrode assembly 111. The movable ground ring 140 is made of a conductive material and, together with the lower electrode assembly 111, forms a first parallel plate capacitor C1 .
所述移動接地環140的下表面與金屬傳動桿141連接,所述金屬傳動桿141的一端與移動接地環140連接,另一端穿過反應腔底壁101與反應腔外的傳動機構連接,使移動接地環140在反應腔100’內上下移動,在傳動機構的帶動下,使金屬傳動桿141上升或下降,從而上下移動所述移動接地環140。可選地,所述金屬傳動桿141的數量為三根,三根金屬傳動桿在圓周方向上對稱分佈;在傳動機構的帶動下,使金屬傳動桿141上升或下降,從而上下移動所述移動接地環140。 The lower surface of the mobile grounding ring 140 is connected to a metal actuator rod 141. One end of the metal actuator rod 141 is connected to the mobile grounding ring 140, and the other end passes through the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 and is connected to a transmission mechanism outside the reaction chamber. This allows the mobile grounding ring 140 to move up and down within the reaction chamber 100'. Driven by the transmission mechanism, the metal actuator rod 141 rises or falls, thereby moving the mobile grounding ring 140 up and down. Optionally, there are three metal actuator rods 141, symmetrically distributed along the circumference. Driven by the transmission mechanism, the metal actuator rods 141 rise or fall, thereby moving the mobile grounding ring 140 up and down.
每根金屬傳動桿141外分別套設一個第一波紋管142,該第一波紋管142的第一端固定在金屬傳動桿141上,第二端固定在反應腔底壁101上,當上下 移動該金屬傳動桿141時,其對應的第一波紋管142在移動方向上被拉伸或壓縮。如圖2所示,所述第一波紋管142設置在反應腔底壁101上方,即反應腔100’內,當所述移動接地環140向上移動時,該第一波紋管142被拉伸;當所述移動接地環140向下移動時,該第一波紋管142被壓縮。 Each metal actuator rod 141 is fitted with a first bellows 142. The first end of each first bellows 142 is fixed to the metal actuator rod 141, and the second end is fixed to the reaction chamber bottom wall 101. When the metal actuator rod 141 moves up or down, the corresponding first bellows 142 is stretched or compressed in the direction of movement. As shown in Figure 2, the first bellows 142 are positioned above the reaction chamber bottom wall 101, i.e., within the reaction chamber 100'. When the movable grounding ring 140 moves upward, the first bellows 142 are stretched; when the movable grounding ring 140 moves downward, the first bellows 142 are compressed.
在其他實施例中,所述第一波紋管142還可設置在反應腔底壁101的下方,即反應腔100’外,此時,當所述移動接地環140向上移動時,該第一波紋管142被壓縮;當所述移動接地環140向下移動時,該第一波紋管142被拉伸。 In other embodiments, the first bellows 142 may be disposed below the reaction chamber bottom wall 101, i.e., outside the reaction chamber 100'. In this case, when the movable ground ring 140 moves upward, the first bellows 142 is compressed; when the movable ground ring 140 moves downward, the first bellows 142 is stretched.
為起到防止射頻訊號洩露且電連接移動接地環140與反應腔100’的目的,所述第一波紋管142應為金屬材質,可選地,所述第一波紋管142為不鏽鋼材質。通過所述金屬傳動桿141、所述第一波紋管142與反應腔底壁101的良好接觸,實現有效接地並防止射頻洩露。 To prevent RF signal leakage and electrically connect the mobile ground ring 140 to the reaction chamber 100', the first bellows 142 should be made of metal, optionally stainless steel. The good contact between the metal actuator rod 141, the first bellows 142, and the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 achieves effective grounding and prevents RF leakage.
習知技術中,由於反應腔100內的結構固定,下電極組件111與接地環132之間的固有電容恆定為C0,腔體的總電容和腔體諧振頻率也相應是固定的。本實施例中,通過在下電極組件111和接地環132之間設置上述移動接地環140,在反應腔100’內增加了一個與腔體固有電容C0並聯的第一平行板電容C1,隨著移動接地環140的上下移動,兩個極板之間的相對距離發生變化,從而該第一平行板電容C1的大小也在一定範圍內變化,下電極組件對地電容也發生變化,腔體諧振頻率也隨之在一定範圍內變化,從而得到一諧振頻率可調的電漿處理裝置。 In conventional technology, since the structure inside the reaction chamber 100 is fixed, the inherent capacitance between the lower electrode assembly 111 and the ground ring 132 is constant at C 0 , and the total capacitance of the chamber and the resonance frequency of the chamber are also fixed accordingly. In this embodiment, by installing the aforementioned movable ground ring 140 between the lower electrode assembly 111 and the ground ring 132, a first parallel plate capacitor C1 is added to the reaction chamber 100' in parallel with the chamber's inherent capacitance C0 . As the movable ground ring 140 moves up and down, the relative distance between the two plates changes, thereby varying the magnitude of the first parallel plate capacitor C1 within a certain range. This also changes the capacitance of the lower electrode assembly to ground, and consequently, the chamber's resonant frequency within a certain range, thereby achieving a plasma processing device with adjustable resonant frequency.
可選地,所述移動接地環140與所述下電極組件111相對的面積為1000-70000mm2,所述移動接地環140與所述下電極組件111之間可調節的相對距離為0.1-20mm。 Optionally, the area between the movable grounding ring 140 and the lower electrode assembly 111 is 1000-70000 mm 2 , and the adjustable relative distance between the movable grounding ring 140 and the lower electrode assembly 111 is 0.1-20 mm.
在另一實施例中,由於下電極組件111中通常會設置用於頂升晶圓用的頂針,而頂針的數量通常為三個,為了使所述頂針有足夠的空間,所述移動接地環140還可包括多個金屬製的扇環,所述扇環的數量可以是三個,每個扇環之間的間隙可容納所述頂針,使所述頂針可以順利升降。該些扇環環繞射頻導桿150設置,其大小與圓心角可以相同也可以不同,每個扇環的下表面與至少一根穿過反應腔底壁101的金屬傳動桿141連接,每根金屬傳動桿141均與反應腔底壁101或接地環132通過第一波紋管142連接從而將對應的扇環接地;在反應腔外,每根金屬傳動桿141還與對應的傳動機構連接。每個扇環均與下電極組件111的下表面大致平行,構成一個第二平行板電容C2,多個扇環與下電極組件111下表面構成多個第二平行板電容C2;由於該些扇環的大小可以相同也可以不同,因此該些第二平行板電容C2的大小可以相同也可以不同;多個所述第二平行板電容C2與腔體固有電容C0並聯,改變了下電極組件111的對地總電容,從而改變腔體的總電容和諧振頻率。 In another embodiment, since a push pin for lifting the wafer is usually provided in the lower electrode assembly 111, and the number of the push pins is usually three, in order to provide sufficient space for the push pins, the movable ground ring 140 may further include a plurality of metal fan rings, and the number of the fan rings may be three. The gap between each fan ring can accommodate the push pin, so that the push pin can be smoothly raised and lowered. These fan rings are arranged with circumferential frequency guide rods 150, which can be of the same or different sizes and central angles. The lower surface of each fan ring is connected to at least one metal actuator rod 141 that passes through the bottom wall 101 of the reaction chamber. Each metal actuator rod 141 is connected to the bottom wall 101 of the reaction chamber or the grounding ring 132 via a first corrugated tube 142, thereby grounding the corresponding fan ring. Outside the reaction chamber, each metal actuator rod 141 is also connected to a corresponding transmission mechanism. Each fan ring is roughly parallel to the lower surface of the lower electrode assembly 111, forming a second parallel plate capacitor C2 . Multiple fan rings and the lower surface of the lower electrode assembly 111 form multiple second parallel plate capacitors C2 . Since the fan rings can be of the same or different sizes, the sizes of the second parallel plate capacitors C2 can be the same or different. Multiple second parallel plate capacitors C2 are connected in parallel with the cavity's inherent capacitance C0 , changing the total capacitance of the lower electrode assembly 111 to ground, thereby changing the total capacitance and resonant frequency of the cavity.
在多個傳動機構的作用下,控制對應的扇環上下移動,不僅使多個第二平行板電容的大小分別對應變化,從而調節腔體的諧振頻率,還可以調節上下電極之間的電漿分佈:通過上下移動對應的扇環,調節該扇環與下電極組件111之間的電容大小,起到調節對應電漿處理區域的電漿濃度的效果。 Multiple drive mechanisms control the vertical movement of corresponding fan rings, not only adjusting the size of the multiple second parallel plate capacitors, thereby adjusting the cavity's resonant frequency, but also adjusting the plasma distribution between the upper and lower electrodes. By moving the corresponding fan ring up and down, the capacitance between the fan ring and the lower electrode assembly 111 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the plasma concentration in the corresponding plasma processing area.
在一些其他的實施例中,為了擴大電容調節窗口,所述電容調節裝置為馬達電容,所述馬達電容一端與所述下電極組件111電連接,另一端通過導線與反應腔底壁101或接地環132電連接,使所述馬達電容與反應腔底壁101或接地環132良好接觸並接地。通過所述馬達電容,可以使下電極組件111對地的電容調節範圍增加。可選地,為了提高射頻傳輸均勻性,所述馬達電容通過複數 根射頻傳輸線與一饋電環連接,所述饋電環與所述下電極組件111通過複數根射頻傳輸線電連接。可選地,所述馬達電容與所述饋電環之間的射頻傳輸線的數量為三根,三根射頻傳輸線在圓周方向上對稱分佈;所述饋電環與所述下電極組件111之間的射頻傳輸線的數量為三根,三根射頻傳輸線在圓周方向上對稱分佈。 In some other embodiments, to expand the capacitance adjustment window, the capacitance adjustment device is a motor capacitor. One end of the motor capacitor is electrically connected to the bottom electrode assembly 111, and the other end is electrically connected to the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 or the ground ring 132 via a wire, ensuring good contact and grounding between the motor capacitor and the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 or the ground ring 132. This motor capacitor can increase the capacitance adjustment range of the bottom electrode assembly 111 relative to ground. Optionally, to improve RF transmission uniformity, the motor capacitor is connected to a feed ring via multiple RF transmission lines, and the feed ring is electrically connected to the bottom electrode assembly 111 via multiple RF transmission lines. Optionally, there are three RF transmission lines between the motor capacitor and the feed ring, and the three RF transmission lines are symmetrically distributed in the circumferential direction; and there are three RF transmission lines between the feed ring and the lower electrode assembly 111, and the three RF transmission lines are symmetrically distributed in the circumferential direction.
在又一實施例中,如圖3所示,在所述射頻導桿150和接地環132之間設置一金屬的移動接地套筒143作為電容調節裝置,該移動接地套筒143環繞射頻導桿150設置且與該射頻導桿150同軸,所述移動接地套筒143的內壁面與射頻導桿150大致平行,該移動接地套筒143的內壁面與射頻導桿150構成一個第三平行板電容C3,該第三平行板電容C3與反應腔中下電極組件111與接地環132之間的腔體固有電容C0並聯,所述移動接地套筒143的第一端設置在反應腔底壁101的上方且位於所述下電極組件111下方,第二端穿過反應腔底壁101設置在反應腔的外部,由於只有處於反應腔內的部分移動接地套筒143與射頻導桿150之間的電容影響移動接地套筒143與射頻導桿150之間的第三平行板電容C3,因此通過上下移動該移動接地套筒143,改變處於反應腔內的移動接地套筒143的長度,從而調整所述移動接地套筒143與所述射頻導桿150之間的相對面積,起到改變射頻導桿150的對地電容的作用,從而改變腔體的諧振頻率。 In another embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , a metal movable ground sleeve 143 is provided between the RF guide rod 150 and the ground ring 132 as a capacitance adjustment device. The movable ground sleeve 143 surrounds the RF guide rod 150 and is coaxial with the RF guide rod 150. The inner wall of the movable ground sleeve 143 is substantially parallel to the RF guide rod 150. The inner wall of the movable ground sleeve 143 and the RF guide rod 150 form a third parallel plate capacitor C 3 . The third parallel plate capacitor C 3 and the cavity inherent capacitance C 3 between the lower electrode assembly 111 and the ground ring 132 in the reaction chamber are 0 in parallel, the first end of the movable ground sleeve 143 is arranged above the bottom wall 101 of the reaction chamber and below the lower electrode assembly 111, and the second end passes through the bottom wall 101 of the reaction chamber and is arranged outside the reaction chamber. Since only the capacitance between the movable ground sleeve 143 and the RF guide rod 150 in the reaction chamber affects the third parallel plate capacitance C3 between the movable ground sleeve 143 and the RF guide rod 150, Therefore, by moving the movable ground sleeve 143 up and down, the length of the movable ground sleeve 143 in the reaction chamber is changed, thereby adjusting the relative area between the movable ground sleeve 143 and the RF guide rod 150, thereby changing the capacitance of the RF guide rod 150 to ground, thereby changing the resonant frequency of the cavity.
移動接地套筒143通過第二波紋管144與反應腔底壁101連接,所述第二波紋管144為圓環狀,其一端與反應腔底壁101固定連接,另一端與移動接地套筒143的第二端固定連接,將移動接地套筒143的第二端包圍,該第二波紋管144在移動接地套筒143的移動方向上被拉伸或壓縮;當移動接地套筒143在傳動機構的作用下向上移動時,該第二波紋管144被壓縮,當移動接地套筒143在 傳動機構的作用下向下移動時,該第二波紋管144被拉伸。通過第二波紋管144提供移動接地套筒143與反應腔底壁101的良好電接觸,同時將反應腔內的射頻訊號屏蔽在腔內,防止射頻訊號外泄。 The movable grounding sleeve 143 is connected to the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 via a second bellows 144. The second bellows 144 is annular, with one end fixedly connected to the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 and the other end fixedly connected to the second end of the movable grounding sleeve 143. The second bellows 144 surrounds the second end of the movable grounding sleeve 143 and is stretched or compressed in the direction of movement of the movable grounding sleeve 143. When the movable grounding sleeve 143 moves upward under the action of the transmission mechanism, the second bellows 144 is compressed. When the movable grounding sleeve 143 moves downward under the action of the transmission mechanism, the second bellows 144 is stretched. The second corrugated tube 144 provides good electrical contact between the movable ground sleeve 143 and the bottom wall 101 of the reaction chamber, while shielding the radio frequency signal within the reaction chamber to prevent leakage.
所述移動接地套筒143在反應腔外部還與金屬傳動桿連接,該金屬傳動桿與傳動機構連接,為移動接地套筒143的上下移動提供動力。可選地,所述金屬傳動桿的數量為三根,三根金屬傳動桿在圓周方向上對稱分佈。 The movable grounding sleeve 143 is also connected to a metal drive rod outside the reaction chamber. This metal drive rod is connected to a transmission mechanism and provides power for the movable grounding sleeve 143 to move up and down. Optionally, there are three metal drive rods, which are symmetrically distributed in the circumferential direction.
本實施例中,通過在射頻導桿的外圍設置上述移動接地套筒143,在反應腔內增加了一個與腔體固有電容C0並聯的第三平行板電容C3,隨著移動接地套筒143的上下移動,移動接地套筒143與所述射頻導桿150之間的相對面積也隨之發生變化,從而該第三平行板電容C3的大小也在一定範圍內變化,射頻導桿150的對地電容也發生變化,腔體諧振頻率也隨之在一定範圍內變化,從而得到一諧振頻率可調的電漿處理裝置。 In this embodiment, by installing the movable ground sleeve 143 around the periphery of the RF guide rod, a third parallel plate capacitor C3 is added to the reaction chamber, connected in parallel with the chamber's inherent capacitance C0 . As the movable ground sleeve 143 moves up and down, the relative area between the movable ground sleeve 143 and the RF guide rod 150 changes, causing the magnitude of the third parallel plate capacitor C3 to vary within a certain range. This, in turn, changes the capacitance of the RF guide rod 150 to ground, and consequently, the cavity's resonant frequency to vary within a certain range, thereby achieving a plasma processing device with adjustable resonant frequency.
可選地,所述移動接地套筒143與所述射頻導桿150之間的相對距離為0.1-20mm,所述移動接地套筒143與所述射頻導桿之間可調節的相對面積為1000-12000mm2。 Optionally, the relative distance between the movable grounding sleeve 143 and the radio frequency guide rod 150 is 0.1-20 mm, and the adjustable relative area between the movable grounding sleeve 143 and the radio frequency guide rod is 1000-12000 mm 2 .
在一些其他的實施例中,為了擴大電容調節窗口,所述電容調節裝置為馬達電容,所述馬達電容一端與所述射頻導桿150電連接,另一端通過導線與反應腔底壁101或接地環132電連接,使所述馬達電容與反應腔底壁101或接地環132良好接觸並接地。通過所述馬達電容,可以使射頻導桿150的對地電容調節範圍增加。可選地,為了提高射頻傳輸均勻性,所述馬達電容通過複數根射頻傳輸線與一饋電環連接,所述饋電環與所述射頻導桿150通過複數根射頻傳輸線電連接。可選地,所述馬達電容與所述饋電環之間的射頻傳輸線的數量為三 根,三根射頻傳輸線在圓周方向上對稱分佈;所述饋電環與所述射頻導桿150之間的射頻傳輸線的數量為三根,三根射頻傳輸線在圓周方向上對稱分佈。 In some other embodiments, to expand the capacitance adjustment window, the capacitance adjustment device is a motor capacitor. One end of the motor capacitor is electrically connected to the RF guide rod 150, and the other end is electrically connected to the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 or the ground ring 132 via a wire, ensuring good contact and grounding between the motor capacitor and the reaction chamber bottom wall 101 or the ground ring 132. This motor capacitor can increase the capacitance adjustment range of the RF guide rod 150 to ground. Optionally, to improve RF transmission uniformity, the motor capacitor is connected to a feed ring via multiple RF transmission lines, and the feed ring is electrically connected to the RF guide rod 150 via multiple RF transmission lines. Optionally, there are three RF transmission lines between the motor capacitor and the feed ring, and the three RF transmission lines are symmetrically distributed in the circumferential direction; and there are three RF transmission lines between the feed ring and the RF guide rod 150, and the three RF transmission lines are symmetrically distributed in the circumferential direction.
在其他實施例中,還可以採用其他形式的導體部件或者可變電容設置在反應腔中的下電極組件111或射頻導桿150與腔體接地部件之間,只需要起到改變下電極組件111或射頻導桿150的對地電容的作用即可。 In other embodiments, other forms of conductive components or variable capacitors may be placed between the lower electrode assembly 111 or the RF guide rod 150 in the reaction chamber and the chamber ground component. Such a capacitor only needs to change the capacitance of the lower electrode assembly 111 or the RF guide rod 150 to ground.
採用上述的諧振頻率可調的電漿處理裝置,當腔體原有的諧振頻率接近使用的射頻頻率或其倍頻或多主頻的差頻時,採用上述裝置主動調節下電極組件或射頻導桿的對地電容,從而改變腔體的諧振頻率。由於諧振曲線在諧振頻率點具有突變特性,因此只需要在小範圍內,比如零點幾兆至幾兆赫茲內調節諧振頻率即可滿足需求;另一方面,為起到調整腔體電容從而改變腔體諧振頻率的作用,腔體內增加的電容(第一平行板電容C1、多個第二平行板電容C2的總電容、第三平行板電容C3或馬達電容)應為腔體固有電容C0的幾倍至幾百倍。 When the cavity's original resonant frequency approaches the used RF frequency, or its multiples or difference frequencies, the plasma processing device with adjustable resonant frequency is used to actively adjust the ground capacitance of the lower electrode assembly or the RF guide rod, thereby changing the cavity's resonant frequency. Because the resonance curve exhibits abrupt changes at the resonant frequency, the desired frequency can be adjusted within a narrow range, such as from a few tenths of a MHz to a few MHz. Furthermore, to adjust the cavity capacitance and thereby alter the resonant frequency, the added capacitance within the cavity (the first parallel plate capacitor C1 , the total capacitance of multiple second parallel plate capacitors C2 , the third parallel plate capacitor C3 , or the motor capacitance) should be several to several hundred times greater than the cavity's inherent capacitance C0 .
如圖4所示,使用本發明裝置改變下電極組件或射頻導桿的對地電容,將腔體原本的諧振頻率26.8MHz轉移至30.5MHz,可以避開射頻頻率13.56MHz的倍頻。 As shown in Figure 4, the device of the present invention is used to change the capacitance of the lower electrode assembly or RF guide rod to ground, shifting the cavity's original resonant frequency of 26.8MHz to 30.5MHz, thus avoiding the multiplication of the RF frequency of 13.56MHz.
