技术领域technical field

背景技术Background technique

基板的制备过程中,常采用等离子体刻蚀的方式来形成基板上的预定图案。等离子体刻蚀是利用高频电源和反应气体生成低温等离子体,其包含离子和自由基,该离子和自由基与待刻蚀基板上未被光刻胶覆盖的物质反应生成挥发性物质,从而达到刻蚀的效果。During the preparation process of the substrate, a predetermined pattern on the substrate is often formed by plasma etching. Plasma etching is to use high-frequency power supply and reactive gas to generate low-temperature plasma, which contains ions and free radicals, which react with substances on the substrate to be etched that are not covered by photoresist to generate volatile substances, thereby achieve the effect of etching.

现有技术是根据待刻蚀膜层的成分,分析出反应生成物化学式,再查找该生成物对应的温度与蒸汽压曲线,找到该生成物固态和气态临界点所对应的温度,作为刻蚀腔室的温度,对待刻蚀基板进行刻蚀。在整个刻蚀过程中,腔室内的温度是固定不变的。The existing technology is to analyze the chemical formula of the reaction product according to the composition of the film to be etched, and then find the temperature and vapor pressure curve corresponding to the product, and find the temperature corresponding to the solid and gaseous critical point of the product as the etching method. The temperature of the chamber is used to etch the substrate to be etched. The temperature in the chamber is constant throughout the etching process.

然而,由于刻蚀过程中刻蚀腔室内生成物的成分会有所变化,设置的固定腔室温度不能与每种生成物的蒸汽压完全匹配,导致部分生成物无法以气态被抽出刻蚀腔室,而会以固态沉积在刻蚀腔室上部电极板或者刻蚀腔室内壁板等部件上,沉积物达到一定重量时会脱落掉在待刻蚀基板表面,导致基板产生异物类不良。However, since the composition of the products in the etching chamber will change during the etching process, the set fixed chamber temperature cannot fully match the vapor pressure of each product, resulting in some products not being able to be pumped out of the etching chamber in a gaseous state. chamber, but will be deposited in solid state on the upper electrode plate of the etching chamber or the inner wall plate of the etching chamber. When the deposit reaches a certain weight, it will fall off on the surface of the substrate to be etched, resulting in foreign matter defects in the substrate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

其中,不对波长-光强图的采集方式进行限定,例如,可以但不限于采用终点探测装置实时采集刻蚀腔室中各波长的波长-光强图。终点探测装置是一种用于对刻蚀反应进行程度进行监控和判断的光学分析仪器。Wherein, the acquisition method of the wavelength-light intensity diagram is not limited, for example, the wavelength-light intensity diagram of each wavelength in the etching chamber may be collected in real time by using an endpoint detection device. The endpoint detection device is an optical analysis instrument used to monitor and judge the progress of etching reaction.

此处,图1为某一时刻,刻蚀腔室中各波长的波长-光强图,图1中横坐标表示波长的长度,单位为nm;纵坐标表示光强的强度。图1中与A、B、C、D、E五点对应的波长,其光强度较强,但相比之下,与E点对应的波长的光强最强。一种生成物对应一个波长,光强最强,则说明刻蚀腔室中,与该波长对应的生成物的含量最多。从而可根据波长-光强图直接得到刻蚀腔室内含量最多的生成物。Here, FIG. 1 is a wavelength-light intensity graph of each wavelength in the etching chamber at a certain moment. The abscissa in FIG. 1 represents the length of the wavelength in nm; the ordinate represents the intensity of the light intensity.

其中,每一种材料的膜层在刻蚀过程中会产生多种生成物,根据多种生成物可以采集获取得到如图2所示的各波长的时间-光强图。其中,横坐标表示刻蚀时间,单位为s;纵坐标表示强度,每一条曲线代表一种波长。在调试过程中,从图2中选取出强度突变较为明显的曲线所对应的波长作为刻蚀反应过程中的预设波长。在刻蚀反应过程中,采集获取预设波长对应的时间-光强图,预设波长光强的突变点即为刻蚀结束的时刻,从而检测出与预设波长对应的膜层的刻蚀终点。Among them, the film layer of each material will produce various products during the etching process, and the time-light intensity diagram of each wavelength as shown in FIG. 2 can be obtained according to the various products. Wherein, the abscissa represents the etching time, and the unit is s; the ordinate represents the intensity, and each curve represents a wavelength. In the debugging process, the wavelength corresponding to the curve with a more obvious intensity mutation is selected from Fig. 2 as the preset wavelength in the etching reaction process.

本发明实施例通过采集获取预设波长对应的时间-光强图,可直接检测出刻蚀终点,无需增加新结构,远离简单,成本较低。The embodiment of the present invention can directly detect the etching end point by collecting the time-light intensity diagram corresponding to the preset wavelength without adding new structures, which is simple and low cost.

下面结合具体的实施例,对本发明实施例提供的等离子刻蚀方法进行说明:The plasma etching method provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

实施例一Embodiment one

本发明提供一种等离子刻蚀方法,如图3所示,包括:The present invention provides a plasma etching method, as shown in Figure 3, comprising:

S100、从刻蚀腔室中实时采集获取波长-光强图,根据所述波长-光强图,得到刻蚀腔室内光强最强的波长。S100. Collect and acquire a wavelength-light intensity diagram in real time from the etching chamber, and obtain a wavelength with the strongest light intensity in the etching chamber according to the wavelength-light intensity diagram.

其中,如图1所示,某一时刻的波长-光强图中,该时刻E点对应的波长的光强最强。Wherein, as shown in FIG. 1 , in the wavelength-light intensity graph at a certain moment, the light intensity of the wavelength corresponding to point E at this moment is the strongest.

S200、根据光强最强的波长,得到与其对应的生成物。S200. According to the wavelength with the strongest light intensity, obtain the corresponding product.

其中,波长与生成物为一一对应关系。Among them, the wavelength and the product have a one-to-one correspondence.

S300、根据所述生成物得到所述生成物的固气临界温度。S300. Obtain the solid-gas critical temperature of the product according to the product.

其中,生成物与固气临界温度为一一对应关系。根据所述生成物,可以通过查找该生成物的温度与蒸汽压曲线,得到所述生成物的固气临界温度。也可以通过查找预先输入的生成物-固气临界温度对照表,得到所述生成物的固气临界温度。Among them, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the product and the solid-gas critical temperature. According to the product, the solid-gas critical temperature of the product can be obtained by searching the temperature and vapor pressure curve of the product. The solid-gas critical temperature of the product can also be obtained by looking up the pre-input product-solid-gas critical temperature comparison table.

S400、控制刻蚀腔室的温度等于所述固气临界温度。S400. Control the temperature of the etching chamber to be equal to the solid-gas critical temperature.

其中,光强最强的波长发生变化,则含量最多的生成物会相应的发生变化,与生成物对应的固气临界温度就会发生变化,基于此,刻蚀腔室的控制温度也要随之发生变化。在刻蚀过程中,时刻保持刻蚀腔室的温度与各个时刻得到的所述固气临界温度相等。Among them, if the wavelength with the strongest light intensity changes, the product with the most content will change accordingly, and the solid-gas critical temperature corresponding to the product will change. Based on this, the control temperature of the etching chamber also changes with changes. During the etching process, the temperature of the etching chamber is kept equal to the solid-gas critical temperature obtained at each moment.

S500、采集获取预设波长对应的时间-光强图,并根据所述时间-光强图,检测与所述预设波长对应的膜层的刻蚀终点。S500. Acquire a time-light intensity diagram corresponding to a preset wavelength, and detect an etching end point of a film layer corresponding to the preset wavelength according to the time-light intensity diagram.

其中,如图4所示,为预设波长对应的时间-光强图,该波长的光强在刻蚀开始33s后发生突变,因此与该预设波长对应的膜层在刻蚀开始33s后结束。Among them, as shown in Figure 4, it is the time-light intensity diagram corresponding to the preset wavelength. Finish.

例如,在多层刻蚀时,在同一个刻蚀腔室中依次对A-Si、光刻胶、金属Mo(钼)、A-Si进行刻蚀。完成对A-Si的刻蚀后,刻蚀腔室中通入新的反应气体,刻蚀产生新的生成物,此时需要对刻蚀腔室的温度进行调整,以使新的生成物能够以气态被真空泵抽出。For example, during multilayer etching, A-Si, photoresist, metal Mo (molybdenum) and A-Si are etched sequentially in the same etching chamber. After the etching of A-Si is completed, a new reaction gas is introduced into the etching chamber to produce new products. At this time, the temperature of the etching chamber needs to be adjusted so that the new products can It is sucked out by vacuum pump in gaseous state.

此处,通过根据生成物的不同,对刻蚀腔室的温度进行实时控制,使得刻蚀腔室内的温度与每个成分最多的生成物的固气临界温度完全匹配,以使新的生成物能够以气态被真空泵抽出,避免待刻蚀基板产生异物类不良。此外,根据光强最强的波长得到含量最多的生成物,并根据生成物对应的温度与蒸汽压曲线或者生成物-固气临界温度对照表可直接得到生成物的固气临界温度,原理简单,易于实现,且效率高。Here, according to the different products, the temperature of the etching chamber is controlled in real time, so that the temperature in the etching chamber completely matches the solid-gas critical temperature of the product with the most components, so that the new product It can be pumped out by a vacuum pump in a gaseous state to avoid foreign matter defects on the substrate to be etched. In addition, the product with the most content can be obtained according to the wavelength with the strongest light intensity, and the solid-gas critical temperature of the product can be directly obtained according to the corresponding temperature and vapor pressure curve of the product or the product-solid-gas critical temperature comparison table, the principle is simple , is easy to implement and highly efficient.
