Description

Method for treating component of plasma treatment device, component and treatment device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of plasma etching technology, and in particular, to a processing method and a plasma processing apparatus for improving the etching rate of plasma.
Background
Contamination of the microparticles in the etch chamber is an important issue in chip production. Serious cavity contamination can cause shorting, block etch (block etch) of the integrated circuit, etc. Therefore, as feature sizes continue to shrink, the number and size of microparticles (PA) in the etch chamber is also becoming more and more critical. For example, in the age of 0.11-0.13 μm, the etching cavity detects microparticles with a particle size of more than 0.16 μm, so that the safety of the etched chip can be ensured. But when reaching the 10nm technology node, the number of microparticles smaller than 0.045 μm must be monitored.
There are mainly two sources of microparticles, on the one hand, carbon-containing byproducts generated during etching. For etching of the organic mask layer material, the main gas is NH 3,N2/H2 or the like. During etching, a portion of the carbon nitrogen polymer may be deposited on the chamber walls, including the upper electrode and the regions around the periphery of the wafer. On the other hand, due to the high activity free radicals and high energy ions in the plasma, the modification of the cavity material, especially the upper electrode gas Shower (SH) is caused. This modification causes corrosion of the material of the upper electrode Y 2O3, which forms the source of PA. Meanwhile, the remanufacturing also reduces the service life of the gas spray header, and increases COC (cost of consumable, consumable cost).
In order to reduce particle pollution, the surface of the device in the reaction cavity can be coated, and the coating isolates the direct contact between the plasma and the protective layer, but the surface morphology of the device has unstable influence on the etching rate due to the adsorption of particles of the reaction gas.

Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
In order to prevent the plasma from corroding the components in the vacuum reaction cavity to generate pollutants, one solution is to age the surfaces of the components by introducing mixed gas of ammonia (NH 3) and argon (Ar) into the vacuum reaction cavity to form a silicon coating, but the coating can influence the stability of the etching rate due to loose structure of the surfaces, as shown in figure 1, in organic etching, for each substrate, the etching rate point is continuously recorded in the reaction time for the hydrogen (H) containing process, and as can be seen from the figure, the etching rate continuously fluctuates from high to low for a single substrate, and the change trend of the etching rate continuously decreases with the increase of the number of the etched substrates through two groups of experimental data of (1) and (2). In the case of organic etching, the phenomenon that the etching rate gradually increases from a lower value to a final region is stable as the number of etched substrates increases, as shown in fig. 2 by four sets of experimental data for the carbon (C) containing process. Regardless of the process of the above organic etching, the substrate etching uniformity is destroyed, and the process parameters fluctuate in mass production.
The specific reasons can be explained with reference to fig. 3, taking the component as a spray header as an example, for the H-containing process, because the compactness of the surface of the silicon (Si) -containing coating is low, the surface of the silicon-containing (Si) -containing coating is easy to adsorb enough H, so that a higher etching rate is generated for subsequent organic etching, and the etching rate gradually decreases and becomes stable along with the consumption of H. For the C-containing process, the low compactness of the surface of the spray header is easy to adsorb enough C, so that the subsequent organic etching is retarded, and the etching rate gradually rises and then becomes stable along with the consumption of C.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 4, the processing method for improving the plasma etching rate of the present invention comprises the following steps:
S1, performing thermal oxidation treatment on a silicon wafer to form a silicon dioxide layer with higher density on the surface of the silicon wafer, and then placing the substrate into a plasma treatment device;
S2, placing a gas shower head with a protective layer into the plasma treatment device, wherein the protective layer can be an yttrium oxide (Y 2O3) coating or an aluminum oxide/silicon carbide (Al 2O3/SiC) coating so as to improve the corrosion resistance of the gas shower head;
S3, introducing organic etching gas as reaction gas, applying a radio frequency signal to the vacuum reaction cavity, exciting the reaction gas into plasma, and bombarding silicon dioxide with higher compactness to cover the surface of the gas spray header;
and S4, performing an organic etching process by using a plasma processing device which completes the steps.
After being covered by the high-compactness silicon film, the gas spray header can avoid the adsorption of H or C, and can isolate the direct corrosion of plasma to the protective layer, namely, the formation of pollutants is reduced.
In some embodiments, the process may be performed during a warm-up process, particularly after a long shut-down of the plasma processing apparatus, and a high bias purge, the above steps may be performed, or may be repeated when an increase in contaminants or a large fluctuation in reaction rate is detected after a plurality of reactions.
In other embodiments, the thermal oxidation treatment is performed on the silicon wafer in a furnace tube process, the silicon wafer is placed in a temperature of more than 800 ℃, hydrogen (H 2) and oxygen (O 2) are introduced, that is, wet oxidation is performed, the flow ratio of H 2 to O 2 is between 1:4 and 4:1, especially the flow ratio of 10:7 and 13:10 can be selected, the H 2 and O 2 generate steam under the high temperature condition, the steam reacts with the surface of the silicon wafer to generate thermal silicon dioxide with higher compactness, the H 2 gas can increase the stress between the silicon dioxide, and the stress is high along with high compactness, but the excessive stress also can cause easy breakage of the property of the film to generate stripping, so as to affect the content of pollutants. When the plasma is used for bombarding the silicon wafer, the temperature of the plasma is preferably less than 130 ℃, the thickness of the high-density silicon film formed on the surface of the spray header is controlled to be less than 30nm, and the smaller thickness can reduce the stress born by molecules on the surface of the high-density silicon film, is not easy to fall off, namely, cannot become a particle pollution source.
Example two
As shown in fig. 5, the difference between the processing method for improving the plasma etching rate of the present invention and the first embodiment is that before the series of steps of placing the thermally oxidized silicon wafer, the unoxidized general silicon wafer is placed, then the mixed gas of NH 3 and Ar is introduced to age the protective layer on the surface of the showerhead, a radio frequency signal is applied to the vacuum reaction chamber, and the mixed gas is excited into plasma and then reacts with the silicon wafer, and the specific reaction mechanism is as follows:
NH3+e→NH+H*
Ar+e→Ar++2e
xH*+Si→SiHx。
SiHx can be redeposited on the surfaces of parts such as a gas spray header and the like to become a Si deposition layer, the physical bombardment effect of Ar+ can accelerate the deposition speed of the Si deposition layer and accelerate passivation (passivation), a silicon coating is generated on the surface of the spray header, on the basis, a thermally oxidized silicon wafer is placed, and an organic etching gas plasma is excited to cover a layer of high-compactness silicon film on the silicon coating of the spray header. The silicon coating and the high-compactness silicon film are similar in structure, are combined together stably and are not easy to fall off, and the silicon coating and the high-compactness silicon film act together to achieve a better pollutant reduction effect, and the embodiment does not need to cover a new high-compactness silicon film after the silicon coating covered by the existing gas spray header is removed, so that the applicability is strong.
In this embodiment, the organic etching gas includes H 2 and silane (SiH 4), and further includes one or more of oxygen (O 2), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO 2).
Comparative example one
As shown in fig. 6, for the H-containing process in the organic etching reaction, fold line (1) is the monitoring of the amount of contaminants generated during etching using the showerhead of the silicon plating process, and fold lines (2) and (3) are the monitoring of the amount of contaminants generated during etching at different pressures after using the process of the present invention. It can be seen that as the number of wafers (pcs) processed increases, the silicon plating process also reduces the generation of contaminants, but still reaches 4.7 (ea) over the average of the two sets of data. After the treatment method is adopted, the number of the pollutants is measured at the pressure of 270 millitorr (mT) and recorded as a broken line (2), the average number of the pollutants is obtained and is 2.8ea, the number of the pollutants is measured at the pressure of 60mT and recorded as a broken line (3), and the average number of the pollutants is obtained and is 2.4ea, so that the treatment method can achieve better technical effect of preventing the pollutants from being generated.
As shown in fig. 7, for the H-containing process in the organic etching reaction, fold line (2) is a monitor of the etching rate of the showerhead using the silicon plating treatment method, and fold lines (1) and (3) are monitors of the etching rate at different pressures after using the treatment method of the present invention. It can be seen that although the reaction rate using the silicon plating treatment method is relatively stable, the average rate is 675.1 a/minThe treatment process of the invention is carried out at a rate above 60mT at the same pressureIn the broken line (1), the treatment method can keep a lower average etching rate at the pressure of 270 mT. In actual reaction, the etching rate is expected to be kept stable and not too fast, so the processing method of the invention can better meet the actual etching requirement in combination with the situation that the etching rate is fast and slow after the etching rate is fast as the substrate is increased by using the silicon plating processing method in FIG. 1.
Comparative example two
FIG. 8 shows a plot of the number of contaminants produced by a gas showerhead treated by the method of the present invention for a C-containing process in an organic etch reaction. In which there were three experimental data, each of which measures the amount of contaminants in increasing order of the number of substrates processed, it can be seen that the amount of contaminants can be kept within 6 after an etching reaction of up to 425 pieces. And up to hundreds of contaminants can be produced for processes using silicon plating. It can be seen that the treatment of the present invention also has better contaminant reduction than the use of a silicon coating process in a C-containing organic etch process.
As shown in fig. 9, for the C-containing process in the organic etching reaction, bar graph (1) is a monitor of the showerhead etching rate after using the silicon plating process, and bar graphs (2), (3) and (4) are monitors of the etching rate at different substrate numbers after using the process of the present invention. The bar graph (1) is the change condition of the etching rate under the condition of the maximum 10 pieces, 3 groups of record etching rates are sequentially selected according to the increase of the number of the substrates, the reaction rate can be seen to be gradually increased, and the bar graphs (2), (3) and (4) are respectively used for sequentially selecting 3 groups of record etching rates under the conditions of the maximum 10 pieces, the maximum 125 pieces and the maximum 340 pieces of substrates, so that the reaction rate always keeps a relatively stable value, and the reaction rate can be displayed from a uniformity broken line.
