Problems solved by technology

However, the increase of the pipe diameter will increase the parasitic capacitance here, resulting in local plasma generation, and then film formation to block the RPS outlet
This situation is especially obvious in high-frequency PECVD systems, which leads to shortened service life of remote plasma sources

Abstract

The invention relates to gas supply equipment for leading a gas to a process cavity of a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. The gas supply equipment at least comprises a gas inlet tube, a process gas tube, a clean gas tube, a remote plasma source and a regulating valve, wherein the gas inlet tube enters the process cavity from outside; the remote plasma source is connected with a clean gas source; the clean gas tube is connected with the gas inlet tube and the remote plasma source and used for inputting a clean gas into the gas inlet tube from the remote plasma source; the process gas tube is connected with the gas inlet tube and a process gas source and used for inputting a process gas into the gas inlet tube; and the regulating valve is arranged in the gas inlet tube and used for closing a passage positioned between the clean gas tube and the gas inlet tube to prevent the process gas from entering the clean gas tube when the process gas is led into the process cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system, and in particular to a gas supply device for a high-frequency plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition system. Background technique [0002] At present, the plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition system has become the most important and main thin-film deposition process in the thin-film solar cell industry. For example, all film layers required for thin film solar cells can be produced by PECVD system. Usually, in the process chamber of the PECVD system, processes including depositing a thin film on a substrate and cleaning the process chamber are performed. Therefore, generally, at least process gas for depositing thin films and cleaning gas for cleaning are supplied to the process chamber. [0003] Recently, in response to large-area thin-film solar cells, a remote plasma source (Remote Plasma Source, RPS) is installed in the process chamber of a large-...
