The application is that application number is 200510118668.7, denomination of invention is divided an application for the patented claim of " substrate board treatment ", is that application number is 03109343.4, the applying date is on April 4th, 2003, denomination of invention divides an application for the patented claim of " substrate board treatment and reaction vessel " again.
Technical field
The present invention relates to substrate board treatment and reaction vessel; Especially the substrate that uses in the fabrication of semiconductor device (substrate) treatment unit; Relevant with the substrate board treatment and the reaction vessel of treatment substrate in reaction chamber, more close with the improvement of the gas importing portion that gas is provided to substrate.
Background technology
With reference to Figure 14, be example below, briefly introduce the existing usefulness technology when adopting CVD (chemical vapour deposition) method or ALD (monoatomic layer deposition) method treatment substrate with the vertical type substrate board treatment.
Figure 14 be with the technological relevant vertical type substrate board treatment of existing usefulness in the reaction tubes of reaction chamber in the model utility sectional view.
Reaction tubes 106 inner structures are: as the substrate (substrate) of process object, insert the boat 108 with the heavy state bearing wafer 107 of multilayer, in addition, the gas importing portion as being used for the wafer 107 in the art breading reaction tubes 106 is provided with gas and chews 101.
A plurality of gas are set on 101 chew hole 103 (shown in Figure 14 5) through chewing at gas, the gas that is used in processing is got into by gas input port 105, chews in 101 along gas and advances, and chews hole 103 from gas and offers each wafer 107.
Offer after the art breading of gas to the desirable rete of each wafer 107 enforcement formation of each wafer 107, discharge outside the reaction tubess 106 by venting port 118.
Yet; Chew each gas on 101 to chew the port area in hole 103 whole when identical when being arranged on gas, by each gas chew gas flow that hole 103 offers each wafer 107 and flow velocity exist by near the upper reaches one side of gas input port 105 to away from the problem that reduces gradually of downstream one side.
That is to say; As shown in Figure 14; Among the device of a plurality of wafers 107 of unified art breading, from the viewpoint of gas being provided for every wafers, to the eye gas is chewed 101 and uniform gas is provided for every wafers 101; Difference has all taken place in gas flow and flow velocity in fact, identical condition is provided for all wafers 107.
For example when chewing hole 103 being arranged on 5 gas that gas chews on 101; By the upper reaches of chewing 101 input aperture 105 near gas; Towards away from downstream; Be set at respectively the 1st gas chew hole, the 2nd gas chew the hole ... the 5th gas is chewed the hole, the gas flow of chewing each gas hole 103 and providing be set at q1, q2 ... during q5, q1 has appearred>q2 q3 q4 the situation of q5.
In addition, it is the fastest that the flow velocity of gas has also occurred chewing the gas that hole 103 provides by the 1st gas, and down the 2nd gas chew hole, the 3rd gas chew the hole ... progressively slack-off.
The flow and the flow velocity that consequently offer the gas of each wafer 107 have all occurred inhomogeneous.
So, among the art breading of the wafer about the gas amount of providing extremely, the film that on each wafer 107 that carries, forms will inevitably occur inhomogeneous.
Return Figure 14, investigate the uneven reason of the amount of providing of this gas.
Provide the gas of gaseous phase to chew in 101 being in to wafer 107, the gas flow of input aperture 105 and the 1st gas being chewed 103 in hole is set at q00, and the pressure of gas is set at p0.The gas flow of then the 1st and the 2nd gas being chewed 103 in hole is set at q01, gaseous tension is set at p1.Identical therewith below, the gas flow that n-1 and n gas are chewed 103 in hole is set at q0 (n-1), and gaseous tension is set at p (n-1).
In addition, the gas flow of n gas being chewed hole 103 ejection is set at qn.
At this moment, by be arranged on from gas chew 101 identical a plurality of gas of the port area of swimming over to whole downstream chew the gas flow qn of ejection the hole 103 (n=1,2 ...) chew the hole to the gas in downstream and reduce gradually as chewing the hole from the gas at the upper reaches shown in the formula 1.
q1>q2>...>qn-1>qn (1)
This be because gas chew 101 in by on swim over to downstream flow gas be to have reduced when chewing hole 103 at its gas flow q0 (n-1) to flow to next gas chew the gas flow qn that hole 103 sprays from this gas after and chew the hole through gas; Chew gas flow q0n behind the hole 103 then suc as formula shown in 2 so flow through this gas, gradually reduce along with being from upstream to downstream direction.
q0n=q0(n-1)-qn (2)
The gas density that this moment, gas was chewed the flowing gas in 101 is from upstream to downstream, reduces gradually by gas and chews the gas flow part that sprays in the hole.Because density and the gaseous tension of gas are closely related,, are from upstream to downstream and descend gradually so chew gaseous tension pn that hole 103 corresponding gas chew 101 interior positions also suc as formula shown in (3) with gas.
P1>p2>...>pn-1>pn (3)
Therefore, chew the gas flow qn of hole 103 ejection and unequal from each gas.In addition, be set at S, then chew the gas flow rate V that sprays the hole and can use shown in the formula (4) from gas as if the port area of gas being chewed hole 103.Owing to chew from each gas and to eject the hole
V=gn/S (4)
Gas flow qn and unequal is so if the port area in nozzle hole is identical, it is also different then to chew the flow velocity of the gas that sprays the hole 103 from each gas.Therefore owing to chew among 101 at above-mentioned used gas, gas flow and the gas flow rate of chewing the gas that ejects in hole 103 from each gas are all different, thereby uniform gas are provided can't for each wafer that carries.
For the problems referred to above, two kinds of pioneering terms of settlement are arranged.
The 1st kind of terms of settlement is to be from upstream to downstream progressively to enlarge the port area that gas is chewed hole 103, increases the gas flow that reduce gradually in downstream with the way of enlarged openings area.Even if yet can make gas flow equate that shown in formula (4), along with the expansion of port area, flow velocity can dissimilate through the enlarged openings area.Therefore respectively chew the gas that sprays the hole 103 and still can't eliminate the inhomogeneous of gas flow rate from gas.
The 2nd kind of terms of settlement is gas to be chewed self manufacture the large vol gas that holds a large amount of gases that can ignore spray volume and chew; The gas flow of chewing the hole 103 ejection from each gas is equated; Even if chew in the hole 103 by gas and eject gas, chew the gaseous tensions that the gas of hole corresponding position chews in 101 with each gas and also do not change so that realize being from upstream to downstream.Yet, do not receive gas spray volume effect and unrealistic and be increased to the gaseous tensions that gas chews in 101 to the capacity that gas is chewed self because the volumetrical that will be held in the reaction chamber that gas chews limits.
And the problems referred to above are not limited to wafer but adaptable across all substrates.

The processing gas that is formed into the pleurodiaphragmatic in terspace material offers gas from gas input port 5 and chews 2.Chew on 2 at gas, be provided with a plurality of above-mentioned gas and chew hole 4, gas is sprayed into surge chamber 17.Yet,,, be difficult to make that to chew the flow of the gas of ejection the hole 4 from a plurality of gas identical with flow velocity if only control the port area that gas is chewed hole 4 as as being introduced in forerunner's property terms of settlement.
Therefore among the present invention, the port area through gas being chewed hole 4 from swim over to downstream and progressively strengthen, though make the gas of chewing ejection the hole 4 from each gas that the difference of flow velocity aspect arranged, its flow is identical substantially.And be not this each gas to be chewed the gas that sprays in the hole 4 directly spray into reaction tubes 6, but at first be sprayed onto among the surge chamber 17, make the difference equalization of above-mentioned gas flow velocity aspect.
That is to say that among surge chamber 17, the gas of chewing hole 4 ejection by each gas relaxes its each gas particles surge chamber 17 in speed is sprayed onto in the reaction tubes 6 by buffer chamber hole 3 afterwards again.Therebetween, owing to chew the gaseous interchange kinergety each other of hole 4 ejections from each gas, thereby when each buffer chamber hole 3 sprays, can make it to become gas with uniform flux and flow velocity.
About the homogeneity of the air demand in above-mentioned surge chamber 17, further explain with reference to Fig. 1 below.
Fig. 1 is that the inner gas of reaction tubes of expression vertical type substrate board treatment involved in the present invention is chewed, the model sectional view of surge chamber, wafer mutual relationship.
Among Fig. 1, be provided with surge chamber 17 in the reaction tubes 6, in surge chamber 17, dispose gas and chewed 2, also be provided with the venting port 18 of discharging gas in the reaction tubes 6.

Adopt and to constitute; When the upstream extremity near input aperture 5 is set at the 1st hole, the 2nd hole respectively to the downstream end away from the input aperture on 2 chewing from gas ... the 5th hole; When being set at Q1, Q2...Q5 to the gas flow of chewing hole 4 from each gas and providing, can make Q1=Q2=...Q5.
Yet in forerunner's property terms of settlement, having introduced, aspect the flow velocity of gas, the gas flow rate of chewing ejection the hole 4 from the gas in the 1st hole is maximum, diminishes gradually in thereafter the 2nd hole, the 3rd hole.
Flow is identical but the air-flow of Q1~Q5 that flow velocity is different at first is transfused to surge chamber 17.Therebetween, the energy exchange that the air communication of Q1~Q5 is crossed each other becomes evenly the difference of flow velocity aspect, thereby the pressure in the surge chamber 17 become basic identical.
Its result; When being R1, R2...R5 to the flow set of the air-flow of ejection from each buffer chamber hole 3; Even if the port area of each buffer chamber hole 3 is identical, so but because the pressure in the surge chamber 17 is even in R1=R2=...R5, it is identical that its flow velocity also becomes.
It is identical at interval preferably to be set at respectively adjacent with it wafer 7 to each aperture position of buffer chamber hole 3 in addition, through setting the compartment that gas is offered 7 of each wafers of loading, flow and flow velocity all the gas of equalization efficiently offer wafer 7.
Through flow and flow velocity all the gas of equalization efficiently offer wafer 7, except the one-tenth membrane stage that can make 7 of each wafers become more even, also can increase substantially the art breading speed of wafer 7.

Its result is described in the 1st embodiment, in case import each wafer that gas can offer gas carrying equably from gas importing portion.
In addition, among this embodiment, the electrode 52 that disposes from top to bottom in the surge chamber 17, by 50 protections of electrode protection pipe, this electrode 52 is connected with high frequency electric source 51 through RF matching unit 53.
Its result can make electrode 52 in surge chamber 17, produce plasma 14.
In this embodiment, calculate from the aperture position of buffer chamber hole 3, about 120 ° of reaction tubes 6 inwalls the position on set up reactant gases surge chamber 42.This reactant gases surge chamber 42 is to use ALD method film forming, a kind of gas is provided at every turn, when alternately multiple gases being provided, being used for sharing gas jointly with surge chamber 17 and supplying with kind for wafer 7.
This reactant gases surge chamber 42 is also the same with surge chamber 17, with the wafer position adjacent on the same reactant gases buffer chamber hole 48 that is interval with, be provided with reactant gases input aperture 45 in its underpart.Yet be with surge chamber 17 differences: it does not have air supply chamber 43 and electrode 52.In addition, reactant gases buffer chamber hole 48 also has its port area and is from upstream to downstream and becomes big structure gradually.
Venting port 18 is located at the bottom of reaction tubes 6, but states ALD method film forming in the use, to wafer a kind of gas is provided, and when alternately multiple gases being provided, this venting port 18 forms the structure that can get rid of reaction tubes 6 internal gas.
Fig. 5 A is that outward appearance and inside (the dotted line sign) of the reaction tubes 6 can be from top view surge chamber 17 time constitutes.
In reaction tubes 6, be provided with surge chamber 17 from top to bottom, with the surge chamber 17 adjacent air supply chambers 43 that are provided with.And within surge chamber 17, disposed from top to bottom by the electrode 52 of electrode protection pipe 50 protections, be provided with gas input port 5 in the bottom of air supply chamber 43.
These electrode protection pipe 50 formation can make the electrode 52 of slim-lined construction to insert the structure in the surge chamber 17 with the isolated state of the atmosphere of surge chamber 17.At this, owing to electrode protection pipe 50 inside are and the identical atmosphere of outside gas (air), might be oxidized so insert the electrode 52 of electrode protection pipe 50 because of the heating of not shown well heater.For this reason, the inner setting of electrode protection pipe 50 is the non-active gas treatment facilities, adopts non-active gas or purifying methods such as filling nitrogen, fully suppresses oxygen concentration wherein.
On the position of inner wall surrounding certain distance from this surge chamber 17 along reaction tubes 6, be to be provided with reactant gases surge chamber 42 from top to bottom equally, be provided with reactant gases input aperture 45 in its underpart.
In addition, from the opposite direction of surge chamber 17 courts and reactant gases surge chamber 42, along being provided with venting port 18 on the lower position of reaction tube around certain distance.
Fig. 5 B is the inner case of buffer chamber hole 3 and reactant gases buffer chamber hole 48 reaction tubes 6 when being in the top view position.
In reaction tubes 6, be provided with surge chamber 17 and adjacent with it air supply chamber 43 from top to bottom, in surge chamber 17, have the buffer chamber hole 3 of same port area with uniform distances being provided with from top to bottom with on the not shown wafer position adjacent.And buffer chamber hole 3 has same port area on the wall of the chamber of the surge chamber with same thickness 17.
From this surge chamber 17 position around reaction tubes 6 inwall certain distances, be from top to bottom equally, be provided with reactant gases surge chamber 42.And, in reactant gases surge chamber 42, from top to bottom with not shown wafer position adjacent on be provided with reactant gases buffer chamber hole 48 with same interval.And the structure of the port area of reactant gases buffer chamber hole 48 is: being from upstream to downstream, then is from bottom to top to strengthen gradually among Fig. 5 A, 5B, 5C.
Fig. 5 C is the longitudinal diagram for the reaction tubes 6 that is arranged on the air supply chamber hole 47 on the air supply chamber 43 from top view.
In reaction tubes 6, be provided with air supply chamber 43 from top to bottom with on surge chamber 17 position adjacent.And on the spaced walls of surge chamber 17 and air supply chamber 43, by top to also being provided with air supply chamber hole 47 by time many bottoms with not shown wafer consecutive position.It is not produce the gas precipitation district in the surge chamber 17 in order to allow that the opening in air supply chamber hole 47 extends to surge chamber reason bottom always.
And that the port area in air supply chamber hole 47 and the gas that the gas shown in Fig. 3 A is chewed are chewed the hole is identical, has adopted the formation that downstream direction strengthens gradually of swimming over to from gas.
With reference to Fig. 5 A, 5B, 5C and Fig. 6 the situation that adopts ALD method deposited film on the interior wafer 7 of reaction tubes 6 is described below.
In this film forming example, introduce as handling gas, ammonia (NH alternately is provided 3) spike and dichlorosilane (SiH 2Cl 2) gas, adopt atomic shell to become embrane method to form the method for SiNx film (silicon nitride film).
Filling 100 wafers in reaction tubes 6, and make the reaction tubes 6 inner airtight conditions that keep.Adopt not shown pump,, and make a certain specified temperature that keep in the reaction tubes 6 in 300~600 ℃ of scopes through the temperature of regulating well heater 16 through vapor pipe 18 gas in the reaction tubes 6 of draining.
At first offer air supply chamber 43 to ammonia from gas input port 5.
For the ammonia flow that is sprayed onto from here in the surge chamber 17 is equated, therefore be designed to port area to strengthen gradually from the downstream of swimming over to of air-flow.
Therefore be sprayed onto the ammonia of surge chamber 17 from air supply chamber hole 47, fast downstream are slow though its flow velocity is the upper reaches, and its flow then is that all air supply chamber hole 47 is all the same.
In a single day this ammonia that is sprayed onto in the surge chamber 17 is transfused to here, through exchanging the difference equalization that kinetic energy makes the flow velocity aspect each other, thereby makes surge chamber 17 pressure inside equalizations.
Be transfused to surge chamber 17 at ammonia; Under the state that pressure between the 1 counter electrode protective tube equates; If the RF power that high frequency electric source 51 is come offers the stick electrode of inserting in two electrode protection pipes 50 that are arranged in the surge chamber 17 52 through RF coupling mechanism 53, will between electrode protection pipe 50, generate plasma 14.
And within surge chamber 17; Through the ammonia plasma; Generate the spike (crystal seed) of ammonia; And owing to be that generation is isoionic under the uniform situation of pressure in surge chamber 17 at this moment, because the distribution of influential isoionic electronic temp of the life of spike and plasma density is also become evenly, thereby can generate the more uniform spike of distribution.
Because the spike that generates by effects such as plasmas has its life-span; If the hypertelorism between plasma maker and the wafer 7; Wafer 7 inactivation before will offered; Thereby cause the consequence that the acting spike quantity of the reaction on the wafer 7 is significantly reduced, so isoionic generation is preferably in nearby carrying out of wafer 7.
Should constitute if adopt, owing to nearby generate the ammonia spike at surge chamber 17 these wafers 7, thereby can offer wafer 7 to the spike of a large amount of ammonias that generate expeditiously.
And the interval of two electrode protection pipes 50 preferably is set at suitable distance; 20mm preferably; So that the generation of plasma 14 is limited within the surge chamber 17, in addition, though isoionic generation can be at surge chamber 17 Anywhere; But the gas that preferably makes input buffering chamber 17 is the best through among this plasma with the mid-way that is arranged on buffer chamber hole 3 and air supply chamber hole 47.
In addition, should be adjusted into appropriate intervals to the distance between electrode protection pipe 50 and the buffer chamber hole 3 in advance, leak into outside the surge chamber 17 so that the plasma 14 that generates in the surge chamber 17 is unlikely to diffusion.
Its result is because to offer the whole of wafer 7 by buffer chamber hole 3 be that electrical characteristic are the spike of neutral ammonia, so the damage that can avoid the electric He because of wafer 7 to rise and cause.
As above-mentioned, because buffer chamber hole 3 its port areas that are arranged on the surge chamber 17 are all identical, and owing to the spike that offers the ammonia of wafer 7 can provide with uniform flow rate and even flow, thereby can carry out uniform film forming to each wafer and handle.
In addition, because buffer chamber hole 3 is arranged on the mid-way at interval of multilayer bearing wafer 7, thereby can competent processing gas be provided to each wafer 7.
And among the ALD method that alternately provides different types of processing gas to form from level to level film as thin as a wafer; Through pressure and the temperature in the suitable setting reaction tubes 6; When forming one deck by the providing of spike of this ammonia and contain the very thin films of N atom; Scope limits and will work, and thickness can further not increase.
When the surface of entire wafer 7 all formed the very thin films of nitrogen atom, the RF electric power that is applied on the electrode 52 promptly was cut off, and stopped the supply of ammonia.
Then, N is used on the limit 2Reach non-active gas purification reaction tubes 6 inside such as Ar, the limit is discharged these gases by venting port 18.Then moment of fully descending of the concentration of the spike of the ammonia in reaction tubes 6, stop to supply with above-mentioned non-active gas,, dichlorosilane gas is imported reactant gases surge chamber 42 by reactant gases input aperture 45.
Among reactant gases surge chamber 42, be provided with by swimming over to downstream on the reactant gases input aperture 45 the reactant gases buffer chamber hole 48 that port area enlarges gradually towards the center of reaction tubes 6.So, though the dichlorosilane flow velocity difference flow that offers wafer by reactant gases buffer chamber hole 48 be sprayed onto in the reaction tubes 6 identically.
Certainly; If do not use reactant gases surge chamber 42 that dichlorosilane gas is provided; But cover air supply chamber 43 identical with the equipment that provides ammonia to use and adjacent with it surge chamber 17 are set in reaction tubes 6 in addition, flow and flow velocity are all kept evenly then can be better.
Yet among this embodiment,, also might on wafer 7, form well-proportioned film if the use that provides of dichlorosilane gas equates gas flow than the easy more reactant gases surge chamber 42 of the combination of air supply chamber 43 and surge chamber 17.
In case on the surface of wafer 7, form siliceous very thin films, promptly stop to provide of dichlorosilane.Then use N 2Reach non-active gas purification reaction tubes inside such as Ar, and these gases are discharged from venting port 18, in the moment that the dichlorosilane concentration in reaction tubes fully descends, stop to supply with non-active gas.
Adopt above-mentioned a series of art breading; Can form the silicon nitride film of
Figure G2008101795814D00161
approximately; Therefore for example when need under the situation of the silicon nitride film that forms
Figure G2008101795814D00162
on the wafer 7, approximately needing 500 above-mentioned technologies of repetition.
And rotate with certain speed through the not shown boat that makes bearing wafer 7, even, can realize on entire wafer 7 that also film forming is handled more uniformly from a side air feed of wafer 7.Among this embodiment, its speed of rotation is if there is 1~10rpm just enough.
Therefore, under the non-rotary situation of boat, the homogeneity of the thickness of wafer 7 is about ± and 5%, and under the situation of rotation boat, its error is less than ± 1%.

(the 6th~the 8th embodiment)
Introduce the 6 8th embodiment of the present invention with reference to Figure 10,11,12 below.Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12 are respectively the transverse section of the left-half of the reaction tubes 6 that uses in the processing substrate treatment unit of the 6th, the 7th, the 8th embodiment of the present invention.
Among the 6th, the 7th, the 8th embodiment that Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure 12 illustrate respectively, identical with the 1st embodiment, gas chew 102 from the bottom of reaction tubes 6 direction one on top of another along wafer 7 is configured within the surge chamber 17 up to top.Gas is chewed 102 bottom and is communicated with gas input port 5.Chew at gas and vertically to be provided with many gas on 102 and to chew hole (not shown).In addition, identical with the 1st~the 5th embodiment, though not shown, on the lower side of reaction tubes 6, be provided with the venting port that links to each other with not shown off-gas pump.
Among the 6th embodiment shown in Figure 10; Portion's chamber-separating wall 172 of surge chamber 17 is shared with the part tube wall of reaction tubes 6; Two electrode protection pipes 50 are configured in the wall 174 of this chamber wall 172 to be compared, more on the position near 173 walls of portion's chamber-separating wall 171 of the surge chamber that is provided with buffer chamber hole 3 17.Also be configured in the wall 174 of chamber wall 172 by two electrodes 52 of two electrode protection pipes 50 protection and compare, (distance between the wall 173 of the chamber wall 171 of electrode protection pipe 50 and surge chamber 17 is preferably 0~5mm on the position near the wall 173 of chamber wall 171 more.Here said 0mm is meant that electrode protection pipe 50 is close to wall configuration).Two electrodes 52 and two electrode protection pipes 50 are crossed over buffer chamber hole 3 configurations, (being that buffer chamber hole 3 is between two electrode protection pipes 50).This structure can make the plasma 14 and the distance of buffer chamber hole 3 become the shortest.
Through making the wall 173 of two electrode protection pipes 50, can limit main gas flow path near the chamber wall 171 that constitutes surge chamber 17.Through buffer chamber hole 3 being set on through the position between two electrode protection pipes 50, can make reactant gases in addition, thereby the density of spike is increased efficiently through the high zone of plasma 14 density at limited main gas flow path.
Under the situation of Figure 10, the reactant gases path in the surge chamber 17 can be divided into path D, path E, path c, path f substantially.Path D, path E form main gas flow path, and the more than half of reactant gases will be from passing through just from the big zone passage of plasma 14 density between two the two poles of the earth protective tubes.
In addition, because plasma 14 is very near apart from buffer chamber hole 3, and the retardance of unnecessary air-flow also is controlled in the inferior limit, thereby the inactivation of the spike that can generate D, path E in the path be controlled in the bottom line.In addition, even if at the last stage inactivation that gets into buffer chamber hole, also can activate once again through plasma 14.
In addition; The path c of those 50 of two electrode protection pipes of not flowing through, the air-flow of path f; Because it must be through near the plasma 14 before getting into buffer chamber hole 3; Thereby the density of its spike also can increase, and path c also the same with path D before input reaction chamber 6 inactivation seldom.
That is to say, adopt this embodiment can realize following each item.
1. can activate by enough high-density plasmas.(the active density on activationary time point)
2. can with the spike non-inactivation deliver to and be processed substrate (wafer 7).
Needn't control in order to eliminate path D and path E to go up the density variation of spike and form spike gas flow path before also is the characteristic of this embodiment.
At this because as long as be adjacent to surge chamber 17 to electrode protection pipe 50; Just can cut off path c and path f, and only remaining gas path D and E, thereby can highdensity spike effectively be provided to being processed substrate; In addition; Owing to eliminated the gap that road c, f pass through, do not had error because the reactant gases between device activates density, so better effects if.
Figure 11 illustrates the 7th embodiment; Chew the 102 gas rectilinearity that provide (path F) through plasma 14, buffer chamber hole 3 for making gas; Thereby with gas chew 102 and buffer chamber hole 3 be configured between two electrode protection pipes 50, identical with Figure 10, all be the formation that can increase spike density.
Figure 12 illustrates the 8th embodiment; One in two electrode protection pipes 50 near constituting surge chamber 17; The wall 173 of the chamber wall 171 of buffer chamber hole 3 is set; And another root electrode protection Guan Ze limits main gas flow path near the wall 174 of the shared portion's chamber-separating wall 172 of reaction tubes 6 and surge chamber 17 with this.On the main position of gas flow path I, be provided with buffer chamber hole 3 through 50 of two electrode protection pipes.
If do comparison with the embodiment of Figure 10 and Figure 11; The distance that will find plasma 14 and buffer chamber hole 3 becomes big; And produced the air-flow retardance thereupon, but pass through one in the electrode protection pipe wall 173 near the chamber wall 171 that constitutes surge chamber 17, thereby inactivation can be reduced.
As above-mentioned, through making surge chamber 7, electrode protection pipe 50, and the configuration optimizing of buffer chamber hole 3, the density of spike that can augmenting response gas.
The optimizing of the relative position through surge chamber 17, electrode protection pipe 50, buffer chamber hole 3 improves the density of the spike of reactant gases and introduces in the above; But when the uniformity of treatment between other each treatment unit of angle consideration, safety, repeatability, then preferably adopt consistent relative position.
In above-mentioned example, because electrode protection pipe 50, surge chamber 17 and buffer chamber hole 3 are independent separately, and produce assembly error, thereby can be in the discordance between generation device aspect the reactant gases sensitization concentration.
Thereby, then might suppress above-mentioned discordance if adopting chamber wall, buffer chamber hole 3, the electrode protection pipe 50 of reaction tubes 6, formation surge chamber 17 is the reaction tubes of one altogether.If material separately all adopts quartz, then should be out of question through dissolving integral body of formation.
In addition, because in above-mentioned example, used electrode protection pipe 50, thus with regard to the position of electrode protection pipe 50 in addition explanation, but under the situation of not using electrode protection pipe 50, the position of electrode 52 we can say same as described above.
If adopt the structure shown in above-mentioned the 6th~the 8th embodiment, then identical with the 1st embodiment, can be used as the CVD device and use, and also as shown in Figure 6, if outside surge chamber 17, increase a surge chamber 42 in addition, then can be used as the ALD device and use.
