真空腔室气锁结构对碳传输与碳沉积抑制作用的实验研究

Experimental Study on the Inhibition of Carbon Transport and Deposition by Gas Lock Structure in Vacuum Chambers

  • 摘要: 极紫外光刻技术是目前最先进的半导体制造工艺之一,而在工艺过程中,由于材料放气、光致物理化学反应等,产生的碳氢化合物和水蒸气等会进入到投影腔室,进一步在多层反射镜表面形成碳沉积,大幅影响产品质量同时增加了零部件的更换维修成本。采用气锁结构引入清洁气体能够有效地缓解污染源的扩散过程,是目前可行的技术手段。本文通过仿真和正交模拟实验的方法,对不同气锁结构下,清洁气体和污染气体的流量、温度开展研究,得到了不同工艺条件下气锁对污染气体的抑制率参数。研究结论为气锁结构的设计和工艺试验的参数选取提供了数值基础,也预期能够为同类型真空环境下的污染源控制手段提供技术思路。

     

    Abstract: Extreme ultraviolet lithography technology represents one of the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. However, during this process, hydrocarbon compounds and water vapor are generated through material outgassing and photo-induced physical-chemical reactions, which can infiltrate the projection chamber and result in carbon deposition on multilayer mirrors' surfaces. This phenomenon significantly impacts product quality while also increasing costs associated with component replacement and maintenance. The introduction of clean gas via a gas lock structure effectively mitigates the diffusion process of pollutants, thereby offering a viable technical solution. In this study, simulation and orthogonal experiments were conducted to investigate the flow rate and temperature of clean gas as well as pollutants under different gas lock structures. The suppression rate parameters for pollutants by gas locks under varying process conditions were determined. These research findings provide a numerical basis for designing gas lock structures, selecting parameters for process experiments, and offer valuable insights into controlling pollution sources within similar vacuum environments.
