Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the prior art, since the above-mentioned heat radiation source is usually arranged at the position of the periphery of the chamber and is far away from the wafer, the heating efficiency to the wafer is low, the temperature rise rate is slow, and the heating uniformity is poor, thereby Affects process uniformity and throughput
Although the heating efficiency can be improved by increasing the power of the heat radiation source, this will have the following problems, that is, it is easy to cause the temperature of parts such as the cavity and the lining around the heat radiation source to be too high, which not only affects The service life of these parts, and additional special water-cooling design is required, which increases equipment cost and structural complexity

Abstract

The present invention provides a process chamber and semiconductor processing equipment. The process chamber includes a chamber body, a shielding disk library and a shielding disk communicated with the inside of the chamber body, wherein a base and a second shielding disk are arranged in the chamber body. An thimble mechanism; also includes a transmission mechanism, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission arm and a temperature control device, wherein the transmission arm can move between the chamber main body and the shielding disk library, and can support the shielding disk; the temperature control device is arranged on the transmission arm and when the transfer arm moves to the inside of the chamber main body and is located at a position opposite to the processed workpiece carried by the first ejector mechanism, it is used to control the temperature of the processed workpiece. The process chamber provided by the invention can improve the temperature control efficiency and temperature control uniformity, and will not bring adverse effects to other parts in the chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor processing, in particular to a process chamber and semiconductor processing equipment. Background technique [0002] In the process of using magnetron sputtering equipment for thin film deposition process, in order to save wafer consumption, when it is necessary to bombard a new target or preheat the chamber, a shielding plate is usually used to cover the top of the susceptor, while the normal During the process, the shielding disk needs to be moved into the shielding disk storage connected to the chamber. Specifically, the transfer arm is usually used to rotate to realize the position conversion of the shielding disk between the chamber main body and the shielding disk storage. [0003] In the existing copper filling process, in order to ensure that the copper material can be successfully filled in the through-hole structure, it is usually necessary to add a heat radiation source inside the...
