一种复合轨迹可调式磁电管A Composite Trajectory Adjustable Magnetron

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种用于控制磁电管运动的机械装置,特别涉及一种复合轨迹可调式磁电管。The invention relates to a mechanical device for controlling the motion of a magnetron, in particular to a compound track adjustable magnetron.

背景技术Background technique

溅射是自20世纪初开始逐渐得到发展与应用的一种PVD技术。溅射作为一种镀膜技术,由于它比蒸发镀膜方法的台阶覆盖性能好,比电子束缚蒸发方法的辐射缺陷少,而在集成电路电性互联等制造工艺中常被采用。Sputtering is a PVD technology that has been gradually developed and applied since the beginning of the 20th century. As a coating technology, sputtering is often used in manufacturing processes such as integrated circuit electrical interconnections because it has better step coverage than the evaporation coating method and fewer radiation defects than the electron confinement evaporation method.

溅射过程中先用真空泵把溅射腔室抽成高真空,然后充入如氩气等惰性气体,并且在溅射靶上施加几百伏的负偏置电压,使惰性气体与电子碰撞后电离导致辉光放电形成等离子体,正离子在电场加速作用下撞击溅射靶表面,入射正离子与溅射靶中原子发生连锁碰撞,使溅射靶表面的原子获得动能脱离晶格束缚,飞溅沉积到被溅射材料的表面形成薄膜。在溅射时,通常利用磁电管在溅射靶表面形成一个磁场,以加速电子运动,增加它们与惰性气体原子碰撞产生正离子的几率,这种工艺被称为磁控溅射。During the sputtering process, the sputtering chamber is first evacuated into a high vacuum by a vacuum pump, and then filled with an inert gas such as argon, and a negative bias voltage of several hundred volts is applied to the sputtering target, so that the inert gas collides with electrons Ionization causes glow discharge to form plasma, and the positive ions hit the surface of the sputtering target under the acceleration of the electric field, and the incident positive ions collide with the atoms in the sputtering target, so that the atoms on the surface of the sputtering target gain kinetic energy and break away from the lattice constraints, and the sputtering Deposits onto the surface of the sputtered material to form a thin film. During sputtering, a magnetron is usually used to form a magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target to accelerate the movement of electrons and increase the probability of them colliding with inert gas atoms to generate positive ions. This process is called magnetron sputtering.

一个理想的磁控溅射系统,形成的平行于溅射靶表面的磁场分量应均匀地覆盖在溅射靶表面,因为只有水平分量才能提高溅射效率。由于结构尺寸、重量、制造工艺与成本、功耗、维护等因素的限制,实际上的磁控溅射系统中溅射靶表面磁场的均匀性和覆盖率很难达到上述理想状态。从溅射靶材利用率指标就可以反映出溅射靶表面磁场与上述理想状态的差距,目前常规磁控溅射系统的溅射靶材利用率是30%左右,某些优化的磁控溅射系统的溅射靶材利用率可能达到60-70%。需要指出的是,提高平行于溅射靶表面的磁场分量均匀性和覆盖率,不仅可以提高溅射靶材利用率,而且对提高沉积在被溅射材料表面上薄膜厚度的均匀性、台阶覆盖率等镀膜质量具有重要作用。In an ideal magnetron sputtering system, the magnetic field component formed parallel to the surface of the sputtering target should evenly cover the surface of the sputtering target, because only the horizontal component can improve the sputtering efficiency. Due to the limitations of structural size, weight, manufacturing process and cost, power consumption, maintenance and other factors, it is difficult for the uniformity and coverage of the magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target in the actual magnetron sputtering system to reach the above ideal state. The gap between the sputtering target surface magnetic field and the above ideal state can be reflected from the sputtering target utilization index. At present, the sputtering target utilization rate of the conventional magnetron sputtering system is about 30%. Some optimized magnetron sputtering systems The sputtering target utilization of the sputtering system may reach 60-70%. It should be pointed out that improving the uniformity and coverage of the magnetic field component parallel to the surface of the sputtering target can not only improve the utilization rate of the sputtering target, but also improve the uniformity and step coverage of the film deposited on the surface of the sputtered material. Coating quality such as rate plays an important role.

通常采用优化磁电管的结构及控制磁场随时间变化的规律来提高平行于溅射靶表面磁场分量的均匀性和覆盖率。前者通过改变磁电管的空间几何结构及排列,提高溅射靶表面磁场覆盖率和均匀性;后者通过在溅射靶周围布置电磁线圈,或者采用机械装置使磁电管在溅射靶背后进行旋转等运动,达到提高溅射靶表面磁场覆盖率和均匀性的目的。The uniformity and coverage of the magnetic field component parallel to the surface of the sputtering target are usually improved by optimizing the structure of the magnetron and controlling the law of the magnetic field changing with time. The former improves the coverage and uniformity of the magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target by changing the spatial geometry and arrangement of the magnetron; the latter arranges electromagnetic coils around the sputtering target, or uses a mechanical device to make the magnetron behind the sputtering target Perform rotation and other movements to achieve the purpose of improving the coverage and uniformity of the magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target.

采用机械装置使磁电管在溅射靶背后进行旋转等运动,来提高溅射靶表面磁场覆盖率和均匀性的相关专利较多。There are many related patents that use mechanical devices to make the magnetron rotate behind the sputtering target to improve the coverage and uniformity of the magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target.

例如浙江大学王德苗和任高潮的中国专利ZL87106947提出了一种“分离磁体式平面磁控溅射源”。王德苗和任高潮设计了旋转式磁电管,其磁电管有三种结构形式:1)由V形外磁铁(N极)、扇形偏心内磁铁(S极)和圆心位于转动中心的O形外磁环(N极)组成;2)由辐射状外磁铁(N极)、与外磁铁个数相对应的扇形偏心内磁铁(S极)和圆心位于转动中心的O形外磁环(N极)组成,例如辐射状外磁铁为X形时,有4个扇形偏心内磁铁;3)由两个ω外磁铁(N极)、一个圆心位于转动中心且形状与外磁铁形状相匹配内磁铁(S极)、一个圆心位于转动中心的O形外磁环(N极)组成。王德苗和任高潮设计的旋转式磁电管最主要的特点是磁电管的N极是分离式的,由外磁铁和外磁环两部分构成,外磁环固定不动,外磁铁和内磁铁做旋转运动。For example, the Chinese patent ZL87106947 of Wang Demiao and Ren Gaochao of Zhejiang University proposed a "separated magnet type planar magnetron sputtering source". Wang Demiao and Ren Gaochao designed a rotary magnetron, which has three structural forms: 1) It consists of a V-shaped outer magnet (N pole), a fan-shaped eccentric inner magnet (S pole), and an O magnetron whose center is located at the center of rotation. 2) It consists of radial outer magnets (N poles), fan-shaped eccentric inner magnets (S poles) corresponding to the number of outer magnets, and O-shaped outer magnetic rings ( N pole), for example, when the radial outer magnet is X-shaped, there are four fan-shaped eccentric inner magnets; 3) It consists of two ω outer magnets (N poles), one center of which is located at the center of rotation and the shape matches the shape of the outer magnet. It consists of a magnet (S pole) and an O-shaped outer magnetic ring (N pole) whose center is located at the center of rotation. The main feature of the rotary magnetron designed by Wang Demiao and Ren Gaochao is that the N pole of the magnetron is separated and consists of two parts: the outer magnet and the outer magnetic ring. The outer magnetic ring is fixed, and the outer magnet and the outer magnetic ring are fixed. The inner magnet makes a rotating motion.

又例如应用材料股份有限公司伊扬·理查德·洪等人的中国专利ZL03816946.0提出了一种“小行星式磁电管”:第一旋转臂由电机直接驱动,绕溅射靶轴心转动,电机除直接驱动第一旋转臂外,还经机械传动驱动第二旋转臂转动;第二旋转臂的转动中心位于第一旋转臂上,在第二旋转臂上安装一个由圆柱状内磁铁和圆环状外磁铁组成的磁电管。第一旋转臂与第二旋转臂的转速比小于1,且非整数,其给出的一具体实施例中转速比为1.03比6。伊扬·理查德·洪等人设计的小行星式磁电管的主要特点是利用简单形状的磁电管,可以实现高溅射靶表面磁场覆盖率和均匀性,这样有利于降低磁电管制造与维护的成本。Another example is the Chinese patent ZL03816946.0 of Applied Materials Co., Ltd. Yiyan Richard Hong et al. proposes an "asteroid magnetron": the first rotating arm is directly driven by a motor and revolves around the axis of the sputtering target The center rotates, the motor not only directly drives the first rotating arm, but also drives the second rotating arm to rotate through mechanical transmission; the rotation center of the second rotating arm is located on the first rotating arm, and a cylindrical inner A magnetron composed of a magnet and a ring-shaped outer magnet. The rotational speed ratio of the first rotating arm to the second rotating arm is less than 1 and is not an integer. In a specific embodiment, the rotational speed ratio is 1.03 to 6. The main feature of the asteroid magnetron designed by Iyan Richard Hong et al. is that the magnetron with a simple shape can achieve high coverage and uniformity of the magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target, which is conducive to reducing the magnetron Tube manufacturing and maintenance costs.

与专利ZL87106947发明类似的仅有偏心旋转一个转动的磁电管,其磁场不是没有覆盖溅射靶表面中心区域,就是在溅射靶表面中心区域造成过度刻蚀,也就是说这种方式不能同时在溅射靶表面中心区域具有较高覆盖率和较高均匀性。专利ZL03816946.0发明的行星式磁电管,尽管在选择合适磁电管参数和转速比的情况下,可以得到较高覆盖率和较高均匀性的磁场,但是其刻蚀效率比较低。Similar to the invention of patent ZL87106947, only one rotating magnetron rotates eccentrically. The magnetic field either does not cover the center area of the sputtering target surface, or causes excessive etching in the center area of the sputtering target surface. That is to say, this method cannot simultaneously It has higher coverage and higher uniformity in the central area of the sputtering target surface. Although the planetary magnetron invented by patent ZL03816946.0 can obtain a higher coverage and a higher uniformity magnetic field under the condition of selecting appropriate magnetron parameters and speed ratio, its etching efficiency is relatively low.

针对现有磁控溅射设备中磁电管在溅射靶表面形成的磁场的覆盖率和均匀性偏低或刻蚀效率不高的不足,本发明提出了一种复合轨迹可调式磁电管。本发明采用两个旋转电机,主旋转电机控制磁电管绕溅射靶轴心转动,从旋转电机控制磁铁组件实现轨迹可调式复合运动,使得溅射靶表面磁场有较高覆盖率和较高均匀性的同时,又有较高的刻蚀效率。Aiming at the shortcomings of low coverage and uniformity or low etching efficiency of the magnetic field formed by the magnetron on the surface of the sputtering target in the existing magnetron sputtering equipment, the present invention proposes a composite trajectory adjustable magnetron . The invention adopts two rotating motors, the main rotating motor controls the rotation of the magnetron around the axis of the sputtering target, and the secondary rotating motor controls the magnet assembly to realize the track-adjustable compound motion, so that the magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target has a higher coverage and a higher Uniformity, but also high etching efficiency.

用于提高溅射靶表面磁场分布均匀性,继而提高溅射靶的利用率。本发明的机械装置主要用于表面镀膜的磁控溅射设备,尤其是半导体集成电路制造用的物理气相沉积(简称PVD)设备。It is used to improve the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution on the surface of the sputtering target, and then improve the utilization rate of the sputtering target. The mechanical device of the present invention is mainly used for magnetron sputtering equipment for surface coating, especially physical vapor deposition (PVD for short) equipment for the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

本发明提供了一种复合轨迹可调式磁电管,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明作详细的说明。The present invention provides a composite trajectory adjustable magnetron, which will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

本发明的核心构思在于,采用一个主旋转电机和一个从旋转电机分别控制磁电管的主旋转和从旋转运动,主旋转电机控制磁电管绕溅射靶轴心转动,从旋转电机控制磁电管绕旋臂端部转动。合理调整两电机的转速可以实现我们需要的复合运动轨迹,而且这种运动轨迹具有可调性。首先通过调整电机转速实现花瓣形运动轨迹,当整周的花瓣数为非整数时,就能得到均匀的运动轨迹。接下来我们可以调整磁铁组件中心点瞬时的运动速率,使得磁铁组件再通过花瓣外缘时速度慢点,而通过花瓣中心时速度快点,这样就能得到靶材表面较均匀的刻蚀。因此我们设计的磁电管可以使得溅射靶表面磁场有较高覆盖率和较高均匀性的同时,又有较高刻蚀效率。The core idea of the present invention is to use a main rotating motor and a slave rotating motor to control the main rotation and slave rotation of the magnetron respectively, the main rotating motor controls the rotation of the magnetron around the axis of the sputtering target, and the slave rotating motor controls the magnetron The electric tube rotates around the end of the swing arm. Reasonably adjusting the rotational speed of the two motors can realize the compound motion trajectory we need, and this motion trajectory is adjustable. Firstly, the petal-shaped motion trajectory is realized by adjusting the motor speed. When the number of petals in the whole circle is non-integer, a uniform motion trajectory can be obtained. Next, we can adjust the instantaneous movement speed of the center point of the magnet assembly, so that the speed of the magnet assembly is slower when passing through the outer edge of the petal, and faster when passing through the center of the petal, so that a more uniform etching of the target surface can be obtained. Therefore, the magnetron we designed can make the magnetic field on the surface of the sputtering target have higher coverage and higher uniformity, and at the same time have higher etching efficiency.

当直流伺服电机102和内置编码器伺服电机201速度匹配合适后,磁电管中心点运动轨迹如图5所示,花瓣形运动轨迹可以保证刻蚀跑道在靶材表面实现均匀地扫描,研究磁电管中心点的运动速度后发现,其运动速度如图6所示,发生周期性变化,最大值与最小值之间约为3∶1,最大值发生在轨迹线较密区域,使磁电管迅速通过该区域,避免靶材被过度刻蚀,最小值发生在轨迹线较疏区域,使磁电管缓慢通过该区域,使靶材得到充分刻蚀,这有助于进一步提高靶材的利用率。另外,还可以通过调节两电机的转速,使轨迹线形状与疏密程度实现可调,如图7、图8所示,为了清晰起见我们只取部分花瓣予以说明,图7的花瓣较图8更为稀疏,这种可调性使我们发明的装置可以用在不同的场合,通过合理调节两电机的转速,实现具体问题的最优化解。When the speeds of theDC servo motor 102 and the built-inencoder servo motor 201 are properly matched, the trajectory of the center point of the magnetron is shown in Figure 5. The petal-shaped trajectory can ensure that the etching track can be evenly scanned on the target surface. The movement speed of the center point of the electric tube is found to be as shown in Figure 6, and the movement speed changes periodically, and the maximum value and the minimum value are about 3:1. The tube quickly passes through this area to avoid excessive etching of the target. The minimum value occurs in the area where the track line is relatively sparse, so that the magnetron passes through this area slowly, so that the target is fully etched, which helps to further improve the utilization rate. In addition, the shape and density of the trajectory can be adjusted by adjusting the speed of the two motors, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. For the sake of clarity, we only take part of the petals for illustration. The petals in Figure 7 are compared with those in Figure 8. More sparsely, this adjustability allows the device we invented to be used in different occasions, and achieve the optimal solution to specific problems by reasonably adjusting the speed of the two motors.

另一个双电机方案为:一个电机旋转,另外一个电机直线运动实现偏心可调。这两种方案有着本质的区别,双电机旋转方案实现的是行星机构运动,一个电机旋转另外一个电机直线运动方案实现的是可调偏心的旋转运动。双电机旋转方案实现特定复杂运动无需繁琐和频繁的电机调控,方便了使用的同时,尽可能减少了设备的故障率,使得本发明更具优势。Another dual-motor solution is: one motor rotates, and the other motor moves linearly to realize eccentric adjustment. There are essential differences between the two schemes. The dual-motor rotation scheme realizes the motion of the planetary mechanism, and the one motor rotation and the other motor linear motion scheme realizes the rotary motion with adjustable eccentricity. The dual-motor rotation scheme realizes specific complex motion without cumbersome and frequent motor regulation, which facilitates use and reduces the failure rate of equipment as much as possible, making the present invention more advantageous.
