Description
本發明的具體例大體上關於製造積體電路,與特別是關於用於退火一或多個半導體基板的設備和方法。
半導體裝置(諸如,記憶體裝置、邏輯裝置、微處理器,等等)的形成涉及在半導體基板上方沉積一或更多膜。膜用於創造需要以製造半導體裝置的電路。退火是用於在沉積膜上達成各種效果的熱處理製程,以改善沉積膜的電氣性質。例如,退火可用於活化摻雜物、緻密化沉積膜、或改變成長膜的狀況。
自半導體裝置問世的數十年以來,半導體裝置幾何在尺寸上已顯著地減少。增加裝置密度已經導致具有減少的空間尺度的結構特徵。例如,形成現今半導體裝置的結構特徵的間隙與溝槽的深寬比(深度對寬度的比率)已經窄化至以材料填充間隙已經變得極度挑戰性的程度。
因此,需要用於退火半導體基板的改良設備與方法,其能應付關於製造現今半導體裝置的挑戰。
本發明的具體例關於用於退火半導體基板的設備與方法。在一具體例中,揭示一種處理腔室。處理腔室包括圍住內部容積的腔室主體、安置在內部容積中並設置以在處理期間支撐基板的基板支撐件、設置以提供處理流體進入內部容積的氣體分配盤、及設置以將處理流體維持在高於處理流體的凝結點之溫度的溫度受控流體線路。溫度受控流體線路包括氣體導管,其在第一端處流體地耦接至腔室主體的埠及在第二端處流體地耦接至氣體分配盤。
在另一實例中,處理腔室包括圍住內部容積的腔室主體、安置在內部容積中並設置以在處理期間支撐基板的基板支撐件、可操作以將內部容積維持在高於攝氏300度的溫度之一或多個腔室加熱器、設置以提供乾燥蒸汽進入內部容積的氣體分配盤、耦接至腔室主體並安置圍繞內部容積的一或多個熱屏蔽、流體地連接至內部容積的凝結器,凝結器設置以將乾燥蒸汽凝結、及將腔室主體的內部容積耦接至氣體分配盤的溫度受控流體線路。溫度受控流體線路設置以將乾燥蒸汽維持在高於乾燥蒸汽的凝結點的溫度。
在另一實例中,提供在處理腔室中退火一或多個基板的方法。方法包括將一或多個基板載入處理腔室的內部容積、將處理流體流動通過氣體導管進入內部容積、及將氣體導管與內部容積中的處理流體維持在高於處理流體的凝結點之溫度。
本發明的具體例關於退火一或多個半導體基板的設備與方法。基板可為單一基板或在單一腔室內批次地被退火。基板在退火期間暴露於高溫之高壓下的處理流體。當處理一或多個基板時,處理流體從氣體分配盤通過溫度受控流體線路流動進入腔室。處理流體藉由耦接於流體線路的一或多個加熱器而維持在高於處理流體的凝結點的溫度。流體線路耦接至凝結器,其中在完成退火之後,處理流體凝結成液相。使用來自透過溫度感測器得到的溫度量測之資訊控制流體線路上的加熱器,溫度感測器接合在流體線路的不同部分。顯示在圖1中並在此說明的批次處理腔室100,及顯示在圖2中並在此說明的單一基板處理腔室200,可用於執行在高溫下高壓退火處理之用途。
圖1為用於在高溫下高壓退火處理的批次處理腔室100的簡化前剖面視圖。批次處理腔室100具有主體110,帶有外表面112與圍住內部容積115的內表面113。在諸如圖1的某些具體例中,主體110具有環形剖面,然而在其他具體例中,主體110的剖面可為矩形或任何封閉形狀。主體110的外表面112可由抗腐蝕鋼(CRS)製成,諸如但不限於不鏽鋼。外表面112可被可選地覆蓋隔熱層,隔熱層防止來自批次處理腔室100的熱損失至外部環境。主體110的內表面113可由展示出高抗腐蝕性的鎳基鋼合金所製成或覆蓋,諸如但不限於HASTELLOY
®、ICONEL
®、及MONEL
®。可選地,主體110可由鎳基鋼合金所製造。
批次處理腔室100具有設置以可密封地封閉主體110內的內部容積115的門120,使得當門120開啟時,基板可傳送進出內部容積115。高壓密封122用於在處理期間將門120密封於主體110。高壓密封122可由高溫聚合物所製成,諸如但不限於全氟化彈性體(perfluoroelastomer)。冷卻通道124安置在門120或主體110中,鄰近於高壓密封122,以將高壓密封122維持在低於高壓密封122的最大安全操作溫度。冷卻劑(諸如但不限於惰性物、介電質、及高效熱傳流體)可在冷卻通道124內循環。藉由控制器180透過從溫度感測器116或流量計(未示出)接收的反饋而控制冷卻通道124內的冷卻劑的流動。
抗對流面板142可放置在門120與匣130之間。抗對流面板142將內部容積115分隔成匣130所在的熱處理區102及鄰近於門120的冷卻區104。抗對流面板142通常由如腔室主體110的相同材料所製造的金屬板。抗對流面板142可耦接至門120、匣130或其他合適結構。抗對流面板142可包括面向匣130的面144,面144設置以降低從匣130所在的區至鄰近於門120的主體110的區之熱傳量。面144可足夠大以抑制熱處理區與冷卻區102、104之間的對流。面144也可具有拋光表面或熱反射塗佈。抗對流面板142使得接壤於冷卻區104的腔室主體110的部分屏蔽於接壤於熱處理區102的腔室主體110的部分並使得接壤於冷卻區104的腔室主體110的部分維持在低於接壤於熱處理區102的腔室主體110的部分之溫度。因此,鄰近於門120並接觸接壤於冷卻區104的腔室主體110的部分之密封122較不可能由於超過其最大可操作溫度而失效。
批次處理腔室100具有形成通過主體110的埠117。埠117流體地連接至溫度受控流體線路190。流體線路190連接氣體分配盤150、凝結器160及埠117。流體線路190具有氣體導管192、來源導管157、入口隔離閥155、排氣導管163、及出口隔離閥165。一或多個加熱器152、154、158、196、164、166接合於流體線路190的不同部分。一或多個溫度感測器151、153、119、167及169接合於流體線路190的不同部分以得到溫度量測並提供溫度量測資訊至控制器180。
氣體導管192在一端處透過埠117流體地連接至內部容積115。氣體導管192具有四個部分,包括腔室導管118、T導管194、入口導管159及出口導管161。T導管194具有三個端:連接至入口導管159的第一端、連接至出口導管161的第二端及連接至腔室導管118的第三端。腔室導管118經由埠117流體地連接至內部容積115。入口導管159經由入口隔離閥155流體地連接至來源導管157。出口導管161經由出口隔離閥165流體地連接至排氣導管163。來源導管157流體地耦接至氣體分配盤150。排氣導管163流體地耦接至凝結器160。

一或多個加熱器146安置在主體110中並設置以加熱安置在匣130中且同時在批次處理腔室100的內部容積115中的基板135。加熱器146的每一者可為電阻線圈、燈、陶瓷加熱器、石墨基碳纖維複合材料(CFC)加熱器、不鏽鋼加熱器或鋁加熱器。在圖1描繪的具體例中,加熱器146是電阻加熱器。藉由電源145賦能於加熱器146。藉由控制器180透過從溫度感測器(未示出)接收的反饋而控制至加熱器146的功率。溫度感測器可安置在主體110中並監測內部容積115的溫度。在一實例中,加熱器146可操作以將安置在匣130中且同時在批次處理腔室100的內部容積115的熱處理區102中的基板135維持在高於攝氏300度的溫度,諸如攝氏300度與約450度之間,或甚至諸如攝氏300度與約500度之間。
由於加熱器146通常將內部容積155的熱處理區102維持在顯著地高於流體線路190的溫度之溫度,離開流體線路190進入熱處理區102的乾燥蒸汽變得過熱。過熱乾燥蒸汽將有利地不會冷凝在熱處理區102內,接著防止流體凝結在於處理腔室100內被處理的基板135之上。
耦接至致動器(未示出)的匣130移動進出內部容積115。匣130具有頂表面132、底表面134、及壁136。匣130的壁136具有複數個基板儲存槽138。各基板儲存槽138沿著匣130的壁136均勻地分隔開。各基板儲存槽138設置以固持其中的基板135。匣130可具有多達50個基板儲存槽138用於固持基板135。匣130提供有效載具,用於將複數個基板135傳送進出批次處理腔室100與用於在內部容積115中處理複數個基板135兩者。

意於根據用於批次處理腔室100中基板的期望退火的處理要求而選定處理流體。處理流體可包含含氧及/或含氮氣體,諸如氧、蒸汽、水、過氧化氫、及/或氨。替代地或除了含氧及/或含氮氣體之外,處理流體可包含含矽氣體,諸如但不限於有機矽、四烷基正矽酸鹽(tetraalkyl orthosilicate)氣體及二矽氧烷氣體。在某些具體例中,處理流體可為蒸汽或乾燥蒸汽,處在約5巴與約80巴之間的壓力下且溫度可維持在攝氏約150度與攝氏約250度之間或甚至高達攝氏500度。此確保乾燥蒸汽在內部容積115與流體線路190中不凝結成水,且額外地容許乾燥蒸汽變成熱處理區102內的過熱乾燥蒸汽,基板135在熱處理區102中暴露至過熱乾燥蒸汽用於處理。

在方塊420,處理流體流動通過氣體導管進入單一基板處理腔室或批次處理腔室內的處理區。在某些具體例中,處理流體可為在高壓下的處理流體。單一基板或複數個基板在退火處理期間暴露至高溫下的處理流體。在處理完成之後,處理流體從處理區透過氣體導管而移除並藉由凝結器而凝結成液相。凝結的處理流體隨後藉由泵而移除。
在方塊430,氣體導管中的處理流體保持在高於處理流體的凝結點的溫度。氣體導管耦接至一或多個加熱器,加熱器設置以將流動通過氣體導管的處理流體維持在高於處理流體的凝結點的溫度,使得處理流體維持在氣相。在某些具體例中,加熱器可包含藉由電源賦能的電阻加熱元件。氣體導管具有可操作以量測氣體導管的溫度的一或多個溫度感測器。來自氣體導管的溫度量測被發送至控制器,控制器使用此資訊以控制氣體導管上的加熱器的操作。
選用於處理基板的處理流體的類型輸入至控制器的使用者界面或經由另一通道提供至控制器。控制器使用來自溫度與壓力感測器的資訊以控制接合於流體線路與腔室主體的不同部分的加熱器的操作,並將存在於流體線路與處理區中的處理流體維持在大於感測到的壓力之處理流體的凝結點的溫度。控制器也使用來自耦接至腔室主體的溫度與壓力感測器的資訊以控制處理流體的流動與從氣體分配盤進入流體線路的壓力控制氣體,並將處理流體維持在小於在感測的溫度之處理流體的凝結壓力的壓力。因而維持處理區及流體線路的溫度與壓力,使得處理流體保持在氣相。在一實例中,壓力維持在約5巴與約35巴之間,同時溫度維持在攝氏約150度與攝氏約250度之間,以便處理流體主要地以蒸汽形式保持在氣相。
使用在處理腔室100、200中的流體線路190、290提供控制與維持處理流體的溫度高於流動通過流體線路190、290進入高壓退火腔室的處理流體的凝結點。耦接至流體線路190、290的不同部分的一些加熱器與溫度感測器幫助控制器180、280控制與維持至處理腔室100、200中的流體線路190、290與內部容積115、215的熱供應。因此,防止處理流體的凝結且處理流體維持在氣相。
批次處理腔室100容許複數個基板在同一時間相同條件下批次地退火,因而降低處理各基板的成本。另一方面,單一基板處理腔室200容許更有效率的基板處理,因此提供出色的基板溫度控制於將被退火的各基板。再者,單一基板處理腔室200可容易地與真空群集處理工具整合,因此提供有效率的基板處理與要求用於裝置整合的處理腔室的整合。
儘管前述關於本發明的特定具體例,將理解到這些具體例僅為本發明的原理與應用的例示。因此將理解到可對例示具體例進行許多修飾以達成其他具體例,而不背離本發明的精神與範疇,如藉由隨附申請專利範圍所界定的。
