Description of the invention () Inventive jaw area: The present invention relates to a plasma processing method and equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for minimizing the sensitivity of a process to reaction chamber conditions during etching. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: In the manufacture of integrated circuits and other electronic devices, multiple layers of conductive, semi-conductive and dielectric materials are deposited on a substrate and removed from the substrate during the manufacturing process. In device manufacturing, it is known that substrate etching methods and equipment are used to remove material from a substrate. Typical etching techniques include wet and dry etching. However, wet engraving is limited to the manufacture of components with a lateral dimension of one micron or greater. Solid-state devices and integrated circuits are now often manufactured in sub-micron or even nanometer sizes. Therefore, dry etching is now the preferred etching method. One of the commonly known methods of dry name engraving is plasma enhanced etching (" plasma etching "). But slurry etching is very suitable for the manufacture of nano-sized devices. A conventional plasma etching reactor includes a reaction chamber and equipment for generating a plasma in the reaction chamber. The plasma can be generated inductively by using an inductive RF coil or capacitively by using a parallel plate glow discharge reactor. Typically, the plasma is struck and held capacitively and inductively. Generally, plasma etching involves placing a mask on the surface of an upper substrate to define a bare portion of the substrate to be etched into the substrate, or the batch of substrates, and then placed on the substrate. Β in the reaction chamber and then the etching gas is introduced on page 3. The paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 505971 A7 V. Description of the invention (In the reaction chamber, a plasma was fired. During processing, the active material in the plasma is etched by a metal material, a dielectric material, or a semiconductor material by contacting the exposed portion of the substrate. At the molecular level, the etching treatment is the activity in the plasma. The reaction between the substance and the bare surface layer of the substrate. The active substance includes free radicals, ions and other particles. Although the reaction between the substrate and free radicals is mainly chemical in nature, it However, it is significantly strengthened by ion bombardment. Ion bombardment contributes to the etching and provides activation energy to the surface reaction. The reaction between the plasma and the substrate generates an etching by-product, that is, a small amount of volatile molecules is caused by The surface is released and diffused into the reaction chamber. Most of the volatile by-products are pumped out of the reaction chamber. The etching of a single material layer usually includes two main steps:-the main etching process and an excessive etching process The main etching process removes a large amount of material from the surface of the exposed substrate to form the desired feature. The excessive etching process is required because the remaining material is removed from the substrate and at the same time Avoid undercutting (ie, isotropic etching) and selective loss of «V 3¾ degrees at interfacial layers such as polycrystalline silicon / oxide interface. Chemicals and processing parameters at each step are chosen to be W 4 In order to reach the non-Economic and Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumer cooperative printing (please read the —If page on the back page) and other directivity, stability, and high etching rate, uniformity, high selectivity, ^ King and repeatability. Successful Etching requires a controllable process to ensure a controlled uniform etch rate and a stable speed relative to each substrate. Changes in control will result in changes in the device shape and size. It is best to use the National Standard for Cattle (CNS) A4 for this specific paper size and the etch rate between each substrate. Page 4 Specifications (210 X 297 mm)

Description of Invention () The change is less than 10%. Processing stability can be implemented by several methods and techniques often used in this art. For example, a significant change in etch rate can be seen after a cleaning process. The cleaning process needs to be performed periodically to remove by-product deposits formed on the surface of the chamber during the treatment. Most of the volatile by-products formed during the etching are pumped out of the reaction chamber. However, these by-products usually react with different gas components used in etching silicon with helium plasma, such as oxygen additives, to form less volatile fields] products. In other cases, the by-product itself is less volatile, depending on the material being etched and the etch chemistry. These less volatile materials can deposit on the walls of the reaction chamber and other exposed surfaces in the chamber. After a period of time, the sediment will peel off the surface of the reaction chamber and become the main source of particulate contamination. Such particles often get stuck on the mask or on the surface of the substrate and cause device defects. As the size of the etched features becomes smaller, the effects of particles become more severe. Therefore, in order to control the accumulation of contaminants, the surface of the reaction chamber is periodically cleaned. One method of cleaning a reaction chamber, called dry cleaning, involves placing an unwanted substrate in the reaction chamber and firing a plasma. The plasma chemistry is selected to react chemically and physically simultaneously with the deposition on the reaction chamber, whereby the deposit is formed as a by-product β that can be pumped out of the reaction chamber. However, the reaction chamber is clean A problem with the method is that the etching rate of subsequent processes can be adversely affected. In a typical plasma etch, after the reaction chamber is cleaned, the etch rate may decrease by more than 33%. The change of the etching rate is unwelcome, because it will cause processing and recycling.

Description of the invention (), or loss of repeatability. Because the etch process is often timed according to a pre-planned 妤 formula, fluctuations in the etch rate can cause the substrate to be etched or under-etched. As a result, repeatability between substrates is sacrificed. In order to minimize the adverse effect of the change in etching rate after the cleaning process, a method is to use a seasoning cycle during which the reaction chamber is adjusted after a cleaning process. Seasoning refers to the operation of the reaction chamber to allow a film layer to be deposited on the surface of the reaction chamber. During a restoration, an adjustment coating is allowed to be formed on the reaction chamber surface by firing a plasma in the reaction chamber and depositing a flip on the exposed interior of the reaction chamber. The reaction chamber adjustment is continued until the pre-cleaning etching rate is completely restored. This recovery period is quite time consuming and unproductive because no substrate can be processed. As a result, the system's output rate will be severely reduced. Another problem associated with process stability occurs when high concentrations of corrosive chemicals are used. For example, in the case where fluorine is the main etchant, such as in planarization and recess etching, problems may occur. Fluorine is a highly corrosive etchant, which can attack the surface of the reaction chamber and cause surface topography changes and / or cause the deposition of a by-product, such as A1F x on the surface of the Al2O2 reaction chamber. Unlike non-invasive cleaning methods such as plasma cleaning to remove SiOx deposits, fluorine etching must be performed by opening the reaction chamber and refinishing the reaction chamber walls. Therefore, the output rate will be greatly affected.

Description of the invention (Impact. In addition, after the cleaning process, fluctuations in the etching rate will be observed, and This hinders the stability of the etching rate.

For example, when the same _ 0 magnetic & * '' Tian 1 J 夂 应 到It is used to implement different applications involving chemical changes #, and the change in money rate can be observed. Therefore, the alternating treatment between fluorine-based chemicals and non-fluorine-based chemicals will be performed every cycle Etching rate changes between them. For example, a reaction chamber can first be used to treat several substrates during a fluorine-based process, such as a hard mask opening, to etch the recesses. Next, the reaction chamber is used ^ One that does not involve the use of fluorine Second treatment, such as capacitor etching. For reasons unknown until now, the etching rate under these conditions will fluctuate and cause the loss of process repeatability. Therefore, there is a reduction in the sensitivity of the process to the reaction chamber surface conditions Need for spring. Purpose and summary of the invention: The present invention generally provides a method and equipment that can minimize the sensitivity of the etching process to the conditions of the reaction chamber. The sensitivity of the etching process can be treated by including the variable etching chemical. The parameters and / or the material of the reaction chamber are controlled by different methods.

The one or more etchant is selected to minimize the deposition on the surface of the reaction chamber, thereby controlling the surface conditions of the reaction chamber and leading to free radicals and differences.

Implementation of the invention (). However, the processing reaction chamber used in the present invention is not limited to this specific processing reaction chamber. Other reaction chambers can also be used. As described above, the stability of the process during the etching is desired to ensure the repeatability of the etching results. In addition, as mentioned above, many common treatments in the etching reaction chamber, such as cleaning the reaction chamber, will cause unacceptable changes in the etching rate. The conditions of the reaction chamber are changed, such as the surface conditions of the reaction chamber wall. Usually, these reaction chamber conditions are changed without knowing the effect on subsequent etching processes. The inventor of the present case assumes that at least one of the reasons for the fluctuation of the etching rate is the result of the different rates of no longer binding of reactive radicals on the surfaces of different reaction chambers. For example, in the case of silicon etching, a by-product of a SiOx (x = 1-2) compound is deposited on the surface of the inner reaction chamber. After a cleaning cycle, the by-products were removed and the surface of the reaction chamber underneath was exposed again. If the recombination rate of free radicals and by-products is lower than the recombination rate of free radicals and typical reaction chamber materials, such as ceramics and anodized aluminum, when the surface of the reaction chamber is covered by by-products, the plasma The density of free radicals will increase. Therefore, when there is no deposit on the surface of the reaction chamber, such as immediately after the cleaning cycle, the 'radicals are recombined with the surface of the reaction chamber at the first ratio. After a period of time, a layer of by-products is formed on the surface of the reaction chamber, and a second recombination ratio of free radicals to the surface of the reaction chamber is obtained, wherein the second ratio is smaller than the first ratio. When the thickness of the by-product deposition exceeds an acceptable level, the reaction chamber is cleaned to expose the surface of the underlying reaction chamber again, so that the subsequent treatment can have the first recombination of the free radicals.

Description of the invention (Ratio .. By using optical photometry, the inventor of this case observed a clean After cycling, the free radical density decreases by 50% to 70% in gas-based and stream-based etching. Changes in the recombination rate lead to fluctuations in the degree of self-contact and etching rate in the electropolymerization of the substrate. Time changes as a function of the composition and conditions of the reaction chamber surface. Generally, for polycrystalline chip etching, the etch rate increases when a deposit, such as Sioxoc ^ aw, is formed on the surface of the reaction chamber. However, it will The etch rate, which has a significant effect on the consistency and repeatability of the etching process, is considered to be deleterious. The effect of changing the density of free radicals involves processes that are dominated by the concentration of free radicals, such as an over-etching process. Etching is particularly harmful in the case. As mentioned above, the over-etching process is a process in which residual material from the substrate is selectively removed to form features of a substrate under extremely controlled conditions. In one embodiment of the present invention, the etching chemicals are adjusted to deposit the free radicals on the surface of the chamber when the recombination rate of the radicals with the substance deposited on the chamber surface is different from the recombination rate with the material of the chamber surface. By-products are minimized. A primary etchant is selected based on the potential for the etchant to deposit by-products on the chamber surface. The primary etchant is defined as relative to each of the chemical mixture flowing into the reaction chamber. A component has the largest volume flow and in some instances it is the only etchant used. Preferably, the primary etchant is selected to reduce the by-products deposited on the chamber surface. At least. An example of the present invention is shown in Table I and Table π. Table Ϊ shows a traditional &quot; baseline of a silicon main etching process and over-etching process.

Base group: 5 (rc, 100 sccm (HBr and oxygen), 6 mTorr, 400 W (coil), 60 W (bias). Figure 2 shows the deposits obtained with the use of chlorine-based chemicals such as chlorine. In comparison, a higher degree of deposits can be obtained in the reaction chamber using a bromine-based chemical such as HBr. This result is due to the SiCl and SiBr compounds that can be found during polycrystalline hard names. SiCl is volatile and can be The reaction chamber is pulled out. However, SiBr is less volatile and reacts with oxygen to produce SiOx compounds which are deposited on the surface of the chamber. As mentioned above, the density of free radicals in the plasma and the surface conditions of the reaction chamber Directly related. Because the recombination rate of free radicals and SiOx is lower than the recombination rate of free radicals and typical reaction chamber materials, such as ceramic or anodized aluminum, the density of free radicals in the plasma follows the surface of the reaction chamber. It is covered by Si〇x 1¾ ^ Therefore, when the surface conditions of the chamber change with time, the etching rate also changes. In particular, because free radicals contribute to the polysilicon engraving, the etching will change with On the surface of the reaction chamber The increase in the increase in the amount of material. This change in the etching rate is undesirable because it will sacrifice the repeatability of the etching. The radical density is essentially a chemical treatment, such as over-etching, and traditionally relies on high concentrations The treatment of free radicals to maintain an important etch rate is particularly important. Changes in the density of free radicals will cause changes in excessive etch rates and lose repeatability. Therefore, successful etching requires etching The rate is controlled and approximately constant at any time. 0 Page 17 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ^ ~-(Please read the precautions on the back to write this page) K equipment la ·

The inventor of this case found that the etching chemical contained a relatively high proportion of chlorine relative to bromine to reduce the deposition of SiOx compounds on the surface of the reaction chamber during etching. Minimizing the accumulation of deposits on the chamber surface allows the free radical density in the etching plasma to be kept approximately constant, so a substantially constant etching rate can be obtained.

V. The ratio of invention description The deposition of by-products obtained on the surface of the chamber is negligible. The excessive etching process removes the residual material from the features of the device formed during the main etching process. Therefore, the unwanted deposition of the reaction chamber surface only requires It is formed during the main etching process, and over-etching will only form a negligible amount of deposits on the surface of the reaction chamber. However, C1 and Br-based etching is only one of many processes that can be profitable by the present invention. The present invention can be applied to any plasma treatment that deposits byproducts on the surface of the reaction chamber that can affect the recombination rate of free radicals. These treatments include plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. In addition, although the above description with reference to Tables Ϊ and „takes the effect that silicon is mainly etched on an excessive etch as an example, the present invention can be applied to Used in any step that changes the surface conditions of the reaction chamber. In addition to the etch chemistry, processing parameters such as pressure will also respond to the etch rate. Furthermore, referring to Table I, the processing pressure in the baseline overetch formula is 50mT0rr. Traditionally, the processing pressure in the overetching process is 50mT0rr or higher because higher pressures provide higher polycrystalline silicon: oxide selectivity. At pressures of 50mTorr or higher Etching is actually more chemical in nature, because the ratio of free radicals to ions is higher compared to lower pressures. When the pressure is reduced, the ratio of free radicals to ions is also reduced, resulting in an ion Bombardment or ion-assisted etching ° Ion-assisted etching means that the etching is done by free radicals, of which ion bombardment is the activation energy that provides surface reactions. "Ion-assisted etching can be reduced on page 19.

Description of the invention () The sensitivity of low etching treatment to the density of free radicals, thereby reducing the sensitivity of etching to the fluctuation of free radical density as the surface conditions of the reaction chamber change. Figure 3 shows the over-etching rate and freedom. The base density decreases as a function of the pressure of the Br-based etch. The etch rate / density reduction is calculated as a percentage of the excess etch rate / density after a dry cleaning process relative to the excess etch / density before the dry cleaning process, The reaction chamber has accumulated deposits on the surface. The over-etching treatment formula in Figure 3 is as follows: 150sccm of HBr and 10SCCm of He02, 5 (TC, 1000W (source rate), 100W (section Pressure power). Under the pressure of 4mTorr, the corresponding reduction of the etching rate is only about 1% and the density of Br decreases by about 50%. ^ When the pressure increases, the etching rate decreases and the density decreases. Under a pressure of about 50 mTorr, the etching rate decreased by about 33% and the radical density decreased by about 58%. Figure 4 shows a decrease in the etch rate and a function of the radical density ci2 and the pressure of the etch. Again, when the pressure is increased, both the decrease in the etch rate and the decrease in density increase with the increase in pressure, because the etching becomes more and more dependent on free radicals. The inventors of the present case assume that the substantial decrease in the etching rate under higher pressure is due to the relationship between the radicals and the recombination rate on the surface of the reaction chamber. After a cleaning process, the recombination rate of free radicals to the surface of the reaction chamber is higher than the recombination rate during the pre-cleaning process where the reaction chamber surface is still covered by deposits. As a result of the cleaning process, the surface of the reaction chamber underneath was exposed. Because the recombination rate of free radicals to the surface of the reaction chamber below is higher than the recombination rate of free radicals and deposits, the density of free radicals in the plasma is reduced, leading to etching in processing steps that rely on high free radical concentrations Rate, such as page 20, this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back and fill out this page first) Binding · ^ ---------- Ministry of Economic Affairs Wisdom Printed by the Consumer Affairs Cooperative of the Property Bureau 505971 A7 B7 V. Description of invention () Excessive etching, followed by decline. However, at lower pressures, the etching becomes ion bombardment and chemical etching due to the decrease in free radicals. Reducing the pressure can reduce the specific force of free radicals relative to ions, thereby increasing ion etching and reducing free radical etching. As a result, the etching process is less dependent on the free radical density. Therefore, the effect of cleaning a reaction chamber on excessive etching can be mitigated in accordance with the low-pressure treatment of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the polycrystalline over-etched formulation contains a pressure of less than 30 mTorr and preferably a pressure of about 10 mTorr. Enli can be optimized for a specific etching chemistry and processing parameters. Preferably, the change in the etching rate after a cleaning process is less than 10%. Therefore, in contrast to conventional formulations, the present invention provides a low-pressure method of over-etching to minimize the effects of reaction chamber wall conditions. This solution is the opposite of intuitive thinking, because selectivity is sacrificed when stress is reduced. However, the selectivity at the low pressure of the present invention can be improved by controlling other processing parameters. For example, the bias power can be reduced to reduce the rate at which the substrate is etched by the ions. Furthermore, the oxygen flow rate can be increased to promote oxidation of the surface of the substrate, thereby reducing the etching rate. In another embodiment, the result of low-pressure over-etching is further improved by optimizing the oxygen concentration, wherein the oxygen concentration is an etching chemical additive used to achieve higher selectivity. Figures 5 and 6 show the decrease in the overetch rate and the overetch rate of the Cl2-based etch, respectively. Both ΗΒγ-based and Ch-based etching are adversely affected by increasing the oxygen concentration due to the oxidation of the substrate surface. After a dry cleaning process, free radical etchants, such as C1 and Br, page 21 This paper is sized to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back first to complete this Page) Binding ------- l ..

This oxygen will oxidize the surface of the substrate 'to prevent the reaction between the etchant and the surface of the substrate from occurring. Therefore, the etching rate is reduced. Although a small amount of oxygen is necessary to achieve greater selectivity, the oxygen concentration must be controlled to avoid adversely affecting the rate of money due to excessive oxidation of the substrate surface. As shown in Figures 5 and 7v ', the preferred oxygen concentration is also related to the etch chemistry used. For HBr-based etching as shown in Fig. 6, the oxygen concentration is preferably between 0% and 5%. For Ch-based etching as shown in item 8, the oxygen concentration is preferably between 0% and 15%. However, the maximum oxygen concentration also varies with other processing parameters and must be adjusted. For example, 'the preferred oxygen concentration is related to the source power, that is, the power of the induction coil supplied to the induction coil, such as coil 26 in Fig. 1. Number 9 shows two curves of eh-based etching, in which the flow rate of ci2 is about 50 sccm, the bias power applied to the support is about 40w ', and the reaction standing pressure is about 3mTorr. The first curve 50 shows the effect of the oxygen concentration on the excessive etching of the 200W power and the curve 52 shows the effect of the oxygen concentration on the excessive excess of the 400w power. Curve 50 shows a peak etch rate at an oxygen concentration of about 10% and a source power of 400W. Curve 52 shows a peak etch rate at an oxygen concentration of about 15% and a source power of 200W. Although both curves show that the etch rate decreases with increasing oxygen concentration after key points 54 and 56, curve 52 still maintains a higher etch rate at higher oxygen concentrations. Therefore, at an oxygen concentration of about 25%, curve 50 shows an etch rate of about 800 A / min, and curve 52 shows an etch rate of about 2000 A / min. Therefore, according to the present invention, the oxygen concentration and source Page 22 (Please read the precautions on the back first, fill out this page)

Description of the invention () The pole power is adjusted to optimize the etching rate. When a higher oxygen concentration is required, the source power is reduced to obtain the best etch rate. In contrast, when a low oxygen concentration is preferred, a higher source power can be used to obtain a better etch rate. Although not shown in Figure 9, ΗΒγ and other etchant exhibit similar responses to changes in source power in the presence of oxygen. However, at the upper limit, the source power will cause a decrease in the etch rate, as shown by the points on the curves 50 and 52 that slope down the lane after the key points 54 and 56. This decrease in etching rate is a result of accelerated surface oxidation at high source power. Fig. 10-The etching rate of the HBr-based etching process having an oxygen concentration of about 4% is decreased. At a source power of about 600W, the etch rate decreases rapidly, which is a result of excessive oxidation of the substrate surface. Therefore, the optimal treatment formulation is achieved by controlling both the oxygen concentration and source power. Examples of two low pressure over-etching treatments in the presence of oxygen are shown in Table III. In one embodiment, a C1-based chemical is used. In another embodiment, Br-based chemicals are used. (Please read the precautions on the back and fill out this page first) * 丨 |!

Under the condition, the cleaning agent reacts with by-products generated during the main etching process and the deposits formed on the surface of the reaction chamber and etches at the same time. A predetermined area of the substrate. The fluorine-based fluid and by-products form volatile compounds which are pumped away from the reaction chamber. Therefore, the deposition on the reaction chamber surface is minimized and the reaction chamber surface maintains a substantially fixed composition. As a result of maintaining the surface conditions of the reaction chamber fixed, the recombination rate between free radicals and the deposits on the surface of the reaction chamber remains approximately constant after a long period of time that cannot be achieved by a conventional etching method. Because the reaction chamber does not need to be cleaned periodically, the yield of the etching system can be improved. Although adding a small amount of fluorine-containing gas to a process that generates a considerable amount of by-products can prevent by-products from depositing on the surface of the reaction chamber However, in the case of fluorine as the main etchant, such as planarization and recess etching, there will be problems. Fluorine is a highly corrosive etchant which will attack the surface of the reaction chamber. Changes in the surface of the reaction chamber include the formation of by-products due to corrosion, which can cause radicals to exhibit a recombination rate different from the recombination rate on a clean reaction chamber surface. In addition, changes in the surface of the reaction chamber also include changes in the reaction Changes in the structure of the indoor surface will increase the exposed surface area. Therefore, it is provided on page 26. The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21 × 297 mm). (Please read the precautions on the back first ^^ (Write this page)

Description of the invention () The rate of the composition is kept substantially constant during the processing of the substrate and between each substrate. In another embodiment of the present invention, the reaction chamber wall temperature is adjusted to reduce the deposition of by-products on the surface of the reaction chamber. Currently, the reaction chamber wall temperature is maintained at about 60-80 ° C. The inventors of the present case found that the deposition of by-products on the surface of the reaction chamber decreases with increasing temperature. Therefore, the temperature can be controlled to reduce the amount of by-products deposited on the surface of the reaction chamber during processing. Preferably, the reaction chamber wall temperature is higher than 200 ° C to minimize the accumulation of deposits on the reaction chamber surface, thereby preventing the reaction chamber surface profile from changing during processing. In another embodiment of the invention, the material of the etching reaction chamber is selected to reduce the sensitivity of the etching process to surface conditions. One of the causes of the fluctuation of the etching rate after cleaning of a reaction chamber as described above is the radical recombination rate of the etchant on different surfaces. Therefore, when the radical has a first recombination rate on the surface of the reaction chamber containing the first material, such as aluminum or ceramic, the free substrate processing by-product will have a second recombination rate. Deposited on the surface of the reaction chamber during processing. After a period of time, the surface material of the reaction chamber is covered by deposits of by-products, thus changing the composition of the surface exposed to the etchant, resulting in a change in the etching rate. Traditionally, the effect of changes in free radical recombination rate can be minimized or eliminated by a seasoning cycle, in which a thin film containing by-products formed during etching is deposited on the surface of the reaction chamber To cover the surface of the reaction chamber. However, this adjustment cycle is quite time consuming and will apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 size (210 X 297 mm) on page 28. 11 ^ — rhlrx— Μ (Please read the cautionary note on the back first Page) Β— .1 I n, I ΛΜββ n Is I ai_i _ Printed by Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy X Consumer Cooperatives 505971 A7 B7 V.
