Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plasma processing apparatus for processing at least one planar substrate in a continuous substrate system
  • the plasma processing apparatus comprises: at least one substrate carrier electrode, on which the substrate is transportable lying through the substrate flow system and which is DC-guided insulated from ground potential; a surface-trained high-frequency electrode, which rests against an AC potential and is provided at a distance above the at least one substrate resting on the substrate carrier electrode; a dark space shield formed above the substrate carrier electrode, the open area of the cup-shaped dark space shield being directed onto the at least one substrate and the cup-shaped dark space shield having an outwardly widening edge extending darkly above the substrate carrier electrode and parallel to its surface, and wherein, in the operation of the plasma processing apparatus between substrate carrier electrode or substrate (s), high-frequency electrode and dark space shield, a plasma space for the formation of a low-pressure plasma is provided; at least one electrically conductive second electrode arranged on the rear side and parallel to the substrate carrier electrode; and a gas supply for introducing process gas into the plasma chamber.
  • the large-scale plasma processing of surfaces has gained a high status in today's industrial production and will continue to gain in importance in the future.
  • plasma technologies such as plasma etching, plasma pretreatment or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, also abbreviated to PECVD for short.
  • PECVD plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
  • different devices for producing plasmas or also different arrangement variants are selected between the devices for producing plasmas and the location of the plasma processing.
  • Demands such as good process stability, high system availability, low media consumption, short maintenance times, etc., are becoming more and more important for mass production in addition to technological requirements.
  • Linearly scalable devices for the plasma processing of surfaces are particularly advantageous since, for example, the requirement for good homogeneity of the processing in the direction of the linear expansion can be realized more easily here. For homogeneous processing of large areas, these are then preferably moved through the processing area.
  • in-line coating systems are known in which a defined number of linear microwave plasma sources are used.
  • Such microwave plasma sources are preferably operated with an excitation frequency of 2.45 GHz and are distinguished by a particularly high achievable plasma density and are therefore particularly suitable for the high-rate deposition of thin layers. Due to the very low plasma edge layer potentials of such microwave plasma sources in relation to the substrate surface, only low-energy ion bombardment occurs during plasma processing. This is a great advantage when working on sensitive surfaces. Often, however, a high coating speed also leads to porous and less dense layers and the occurrence of stacking defects or of non-saturated bonds is great. Therefore, a compromise between high coating speeds and the achievable layer properties often has to be addressed.
  • Plasma sources operated at low excitation frequencies are again characterized by a low plasma density, but by a high ion energy and ion density in the surface treatment.
  • Especially parallel plate arrangements are a good example for this.
  • one electrode is connected to ground potential and another connected to the power supply.
  • different energetic conditions of the incident ions on the electrodes result.
  • plasma processing systems in the form of substrate throughput systems in which substrate carriers are used which are moved during surface processing or even to be transported through the processing area, represent a major technical challenge.
  • a defined electrical potential is to be achieved at the substrate carrier , it must be able to carry eg a defined equal or high frequency current during the movement.
  • the document DE 43 01 189 C2 describes a plasma processing apparatus of the above-mentioned type. It is based on the task of coupling energy through a substrate carrier into a plasma chamber in an in-line or through-flow system without causing parasitic plasmas. It is essential that the capacitive coupling of RF energy is applied over a large area to moving substrates.
  • the plasma chamber is formed by a cup-shaped shielding of a first electrode, wherein a gas inlet is provided in the plasma chamber.
  • the pot-shaped shield has an edge which is arranged closely above the substrate carrier and parallel to the surface thereof.
  • a further high-frequency electrode is arranged with Bisraumabcapung at a defined distance. Thus, high frequency energy can be coupled into the substrate carrier.
  • the capacitance of the first electrode relative to the substrate carrier should be as large as possible, while the mass of the electrode should be as small as possible in order to be able to build up an efficient DC potential at the substrate carrier.
  • the disadvantage here is that the dark space shield must be continued over the area of the electrode arrangement in order to avoid parasitic plasmas. Furthermore, it is not disclosed how the gas extraction from the reaction area of the plasma processing should take place. The removal of spent gases can take place here only by the remaining gap between the edge of the shield and the substrate carrier. This is also disadvantageous because it causes further undefined processing on the substrate surfaces.
  • the publication WO 02/056338 A2 discloses a further apparatus for plasma-assisted processing of surfaces of planar substrates. The authors of this document set themselves the task of proposing a cost-effective device, with the relatively large-sized substrate surfaces at an increased frequency, preferably in the frequency range above 30 MHz, can be edited.

  • the mass tunnel are also two diametrically opposed slots formed whose width and height has been selected according to the substrate to be processed or the substrate with a substrate carrier.
  • the substrate or the substrate with substrate carrier can be moved translationally through these slots through the mass tunnel and consequently also through the discharge space.
  • the mass tunnel is closed except for these slots on all sides.
  • a process gas supply into the discharge space and a process gas discharge from the discharge space is performed.
  • the coupling of the electric current takes place between substrate with substrate carrier and mass tunnel on capacitive paths.
  • the substrate carrier is guided electrically insulated from the mass tunnel.
  • the mass tunnel, the HF / VHF electrode and their power supply are electrically insulated from the chamber wall by insulators.
  • the disadvantage here is the very large technical effort.
  • the mass tunnel must have walls arranged exactly parallel to the substrate carrier, which are arranged at a very small distance from the substrate carrier. Especially when the mass tunnel is also to be tempered, it comes to thermal expansion of the mass tunnel and the substrate carrier and the technical feasibility for a defined substrate transport, which must also be done electrically isolated by the mass tunnel, is very challenging.
  • the electrode assembly then has a large width perpendicular to the transport direction, and therefore the mass tunnel also has to be widely extended in the transport direction and on both sides of the high-frequency electrode arrangement in order to be able to achieve sufficient capacitive coupling of the substrate carrier to the ground tunnel.
  • Another disadvantage is that due to the small necessary distance between the substrate carrier and the walls of the mass tunnel results in a gas-filled space that can be pumped difficult.
