Embodiment
Can know by background technology; The silicon oxide film surface of mixing fluorine that existing technology forms can form a large amount of defectives usually; Making has adopted the integrated circuit technology yield of the silicon oxide film technology of mixing fluorine lower; Contriver of the present invention is through a large amount of experiments, and it is because the silicon oxide film surface of mixing fluorine that forms is formed with particle contamination that discovery has adopted the integrated circuit technology yield of the silicon oxide film technology of mixing fluorine low.
The contriver further discovers; The silicon oxide film technology of mixing fluorine of said formation adopt usually chemical vapour deposition (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD) equipment carries out, the substrate of needs depositions being mixed the silicon oxide film of fluorine is positioned over the chamber of chemical vapor depsotition equipment and the silicon oxide film that deposition is mixed fluorine; Said chamber adopts the ceramic alumina preparation to form usually; Mix in the silicon oxide film process of fluorine in deposition, fluorion can react with the ceramic alumina of chamber, forms the compound impurity that contains aluminium and fluorine; Said impurity is mixed in the silicon oxide film process of fluorine and can be formed defective at substrate surface in deposition, and said defective is a kind of of particle contamination.
For this reason, existing deposition is mixed the silicon oxide film technology of fluorine can be before deposition be mixed the silicon oxide film of fluorine, carries out in chamber surfaces and forms the tectum step; Thereby make that when deposition is mixed the silicon oxide film of fluorine fluorion can directly not contact the ceramic alumina of chamber, reduced the silicon oxide film process of mixing fluorine forms defective at substrate surface quantity; But contriver of the present invention finds that through a large amount of work the existing tectum that is formed on chamber surfaces is the period to cover one deck tectum in chamber surfaces, and said tectum can't accurately be controlled at the not comprovincial thickness of chamber; Said tectum homogeneity is bad, and is briefly, thicker in some local tectum meeting of chamber; Can be thinner at some local tectum, and when deposition is mixed the silicon oxide film of fluorine, fluorion meeting attenuate tectum; In the thin place of tectum; Can be easy to expose the alumina-ceramic of chamber, can be known by narration before, fluorion can react with the ceramic alumina of chamber; Form the compound impurity of aluminium and fluorine, the silicon oxide film defects count that causes mixing fluorine rises.Contriver of the present invention further finds, mixes in the process of silicon oxide film of fluorine in deposition, and fluorion attenuate tectum is at the chamber different positions; The speed of attenuate can be different, and the place that fluorion attenuate speed is fast is easy to just expose the ceramic alumina of chamber; Same; Fluorion can react with the ceramic alumina of chamber, forms the compound impurity of aluminium and fluorine, and the silicon oxide film defects count that causes mixing fluorine rises.
For this reason, the present invention proposes a kind of formation method of mixing the silicon oxide film of fluorine, has set forth a lot of details in the following description so that make much of the present invention.But the present invention can implement much to be different from alternate manner described here, and those skilled in the art can do similar popularization under the situation of intension of the present invention, so the present invention does not receive the restriction of following disclosed practical implementation.
Secondly, the present invention utilizes synoptic diagram to be described in detail, when the embodiment of the invention is detailed; For ease of explanation; The sectional view of expression device architecture can be disobeyed general ratio and done local the amplification, and said synoptic diagram is instance, and it should not limit the scope of the present invention's protection at this.The three-dimensional space size that in actual fabrication, should comprise in addition, length, width and the degree of depth.
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of the formation method of the present invention's silicon oxide film of mixing fluorine, specifically comprises the steps:
Step 101 provides chemical vapor depsotition equipment, and the reaction chamber of chemical vapor depsotition equipment is carried out cleaning;
Step 102; Form tectum on said reaction chamber surface; Said tectum is different at the different position thickness of chamber, and said tectal thickness is corresponding in the different tectal speed of position attenuate of reaction chamber with fluorion, and said tectum is two-layer or two-layer above stacked structure;
Step 103 provides substrate, is formed with in the tectal chamber said, forms the silicon oxide film of mixing fluorine at substrate surface.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, formation method of mixing the silicon oxide film of fluorine of the present invention is elaborated.
Of step 101; Chemical vapor depsotition equipment is provided; In the present embodiment; Said chemical vapor depsotition equipment is a high density plasma chemical vapor deposition equipment, and what need particularly point out is that the chemical vapor depsotition equipment that can form the silicon oxide film of mixing fluorine all falls into the spirit and scope of the present invention.
