Embodiment
Provide preferred embodiment of the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, to specify technical scheme of the present invention.
With reference to figure 2-8, mode vacuum process equipment of the present invention comprises a vacuum process chamber 1, at least one transmission platform 2, at least two processing unit (plant)s and control device.
Transmission platform 2 can carry workpiece and in this vacuum process chamber 1, move, and in moving process, passes through the machining medium zone of action of each processing unit (plant), thereby realizes the processing to workpiece.The workpiece here can be all kinds, for example solar wafer.Each workpiece has n zone to be processed; N is the natural number more than or equal to 2; Correspondingly, transmission platform 2 has n measure-alike Workpiece carrier zone (the for example zone of the Workpiece carrier among Fig. 2-5 A-C), and all extend along the moving direction of transmission platform 2 in those Workpiece carrier zones.
Each processing unit (plant) all is located in this vacuum process chamber 1; Each processing unit (plant) is corresponding one by one with each zone to be processed of workpiece; Be that each processing unit (plant) is exclusively used in and utilizes its machining medium that processing is implemented in the zone a certain corresponding to be processed of workpiece, so the quantity of processing unit (plant) also be that n is individual.The processing unit (plant) here can be for for example: utilize ion beam or plasma process workpiece device, workpiece is heat-treated or the device of annealing in process or the like; And those processing unit (plant)s were both can type different; More for example utilize the ion beam processing workpiece, and other carry out annealing in process to workpiece, perhaps those processing unit (plant)s also can be same type; For example all utilize the ion beam processing workpiece, but the ion beam character of each processing unit (plant) has nothing in common with each other.
In the present invention, transmission platform 2 is a hollow structure, and when not carrying workpiece on it, the machining medium of each processing unit (plant) all can pass this transmission platform, and when carrying workpiece on it, and then each machining medium will be stopped and workpiece is implemented processing by workpiece.
This control device is used to make the machining medium zone of action of each processing unit (plant) with transmission platform 2 separate relatively moving to take place on the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2; Those relatively move and can realize through the whole bag of tricks, for example make transmission platform 2 that machinery takes place and move and/or utilize galvanomagnetic effect to regulate machining medium transmission direction of each processing unit (plant) or the like respectively.
Because transmission platform 2 is moving on the one hand; On the other hand; Controlled relatively moving takes place with transmission platform 2 again in the machining medium zone of action of each processing unit (plant) on the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2; Therefore when workpiece rule arrangement on transmission platform 2; And when above-mentioned two kinds of mobile speed match each other, just can realize: observe along the moving direction of transmission platform 2, each processing unit (plant) all continuously or discontinuous zone corresponding to be processed to each workpiece process; And observe along the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2, the zone that receives the processing of each processing unit (plant) then alternately is distributed in each Workpiece carrier zone.Below will be elaborated to this through four embodiment.
The embodiment 1 of mode vacuum process equipment
As shown in Figure 2, present embodiment is an example with the n+ utmost point of making the solar wafer back side through ion implantation doping and the situation of the p+ utmost point, and mode vacuum process equipment of the present invention and method are described.
In this embodiment, obvious n=2, that is: each chip back surface has two zones to be processed that respectively account for half, is respectively applied for and forms the n+ utmost point and the p+ utmost point, in Fig. 2, then fills with grid filling and oblique line respectively and distinguishes; Be provided with two processing unit (plant) 3a and 3b; This moment, these two processing unit (plant)s were ion implantation apparatus; But processing unit (plant) 3a is used for injecting n+ polarity ion to half zone of chip back surface; For example P+ or As+ ion, processing unit (plant) 3b then are used for injecting p+ polarity ion, for example B+ ion to half zone of chip back surface; Correspondingly; Transmission platform 2 is divided into two measure-alike Workpiece carrier zone A, B; This two Workpiece carriers zone is all along the moving direction of transmission platform 2 (be among Fig. 2 laterally) extension; In each Workpiece carrier zone, fitly arrange at least one row's wafer along the moving direction of transmission platform 2, transversely fitly arranging two row's wafers in each the Workpiece carrier zone among Fig. 2.
In this embodiment; Wafer on the transmission platform 2 need be arranged according to certain rules: 1) placement direction of each wafer is: make the symmetry axis of the n+ utmost point and the p+ utmost point along the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2, promptly this symmetry axis in Fig. 2 vertically; 2) in same Workpiece carrier zone; All wafers align mutually; And when the moving direction of transmission platform 2 was observed, the zone different to be processed of every pair of adjacent chip was adjacent, the zone that promptly is used to form the n+ utmost point be used to form the regional adjacent of the p+ utmost point; That is to say, the n+ utmost point of the whole wafers in each Workpiece carrier zone and the p+ utmost point towards all being identical; 3) when the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2 observed; The zone different to be processed of every pair of adjacent chip of adhering to Workpiece carrier zone A and Workpiece carrier area B separately is adjacent; That is to say, the n+ utmost point of the wafer in the different workpieces bearing area and the p+ utmost point towards just the opposite.
The operational factor of adjustment processing unit (plant) 3a and 3b is the size of its ion beam zone of action: on the moving direction of transmission platform 2, cover a territory, n+ polar region or territory, a p+ polar region just; On the direction vertical, be enough to cover whole work-piece bearing area A or B with the moving direction of transmission platform 2.Thus, processing unit (plant) 3a and 3b can process the zone corresponding to be processed of whole row's wafer of vertically arranging in Fig. 2 in the Workpiece carrier zone at every turn.
When this mode vacuum process equipment actual motion; Transmission platform 2 is carrying wafer laterally moving with a constant speed in Fig. 2; Meanwhile; Processing unit (plant) 3a and 3b then carry out following action (be that example describes with the action of processing unit (plant) 3a only, processing unit (plant) 3b changes into the oblique line fill area from the grid fill area except the processing object zone, and its manner of execution and processing unit (plant) 3a are identical) here:
S 1, first row's wafer of in the Workpiece carrier area B, vertically arranging in Fig. 2 of processing unit (plant) 3a the region D that is used to form the n+ utmost point 1 inject n+ polarity ion;
S 2, this control device makes the n+ polarity ionization zone of processing unit (plant) 3a with transmission platform 2 very fast relatively moving take place on the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2; So that zone of action moment of n+ polarity ion switches to aiming area D2 from aiming area D1; Region D 2 is the zone that is used to form the n+ utmost point of first row's wafer of vertically arranging in Fig. 2 among the A of Workpiece carrier zone, and the ion accomplished region D 2 of processing unit (plant) 3a injects immediately;
S 3, this control device makes the n+ polarity ionization zone of processing unit (plant) 3a with transmission platform 2 very fast relatively moving take place once more on the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2; So that zone of action moment of n+ polarity ion switches to aiming area D3 from aiming area D2; Region D 3 is the zone that is used to form the n+ utmost point of second row's wafer of vertically arranging in Fig. 2 in the Workpiece carrier area B, and the ion accomplished region D 3 of processing unit (plant) 3a injects immediately;
S 4, according to step S 2-S 3Mode, the workpiece among Fig. 2 is processed from right to left successively the whole workpiece completion of processing on this transmission platform, or the whole workpiece completion of processing on follow-up a plurality of transmission platforms.
Wherein, When the moving direction of transmission platform 2 was observed, each zone (for example region D 1, D2, D3) that receives the processing of processing unit (plant) 3a all was adjacent successively, this shows; Processing unit (plant) 3a is carrying out effectively processing continuously all the time to wafer, so working (machining) efficiency is high.
Suppose that transmission platform 2 passes through the zone of action of processing unit (plant) 3a earlier; Then just pass through the zone of action of processing unit (plant) 3b; Then wafer is after passing through processing unit (plant) 3a, and the n+ utmost point at its back side has just been made completion, and when wafer then passes through processing unit (plant) 3b again; Processing unit (plant) 3b also will process according to the zone that be used to form the p+ utmost point of above-mentioned manner of execution to chip back surface, thereby the p+ utmost point at its back side is also completed.Thus; This mode vacuum process equipment has just realized in a single equipment once two kinds of electrodes of chip back surface are completed; This is compared to existing complicated manufacture craft; The raising of its efficient is undoubtedly highly significant, and the rate of finished products of the solar wafer that makes also can improve thereupon.
Inject intensity and transmission platform 2 is carried out suitable setting along the speed that Fig. 2 laterally moves through ion beam, just be enough to guarantee under the situation that exists certain relative motion between the ion beam zone of action and the wafer, to produce the second best in quality n+ utmost point and the p+ utmost point at chip back surface to processing unit (plant) 3a and 3b; And through the operational factor of this control device being carried out suitable setting; Just can make between the ion beam zone of action and the transmission platform 2 each the generation along the speed that relatively moves longitudinally among Fig. 2 far above transmission platform 2 along the speed that laterally moves among Fig. 2; Thereby guarantee that ion beam after injection is accomplished in the zone to be processed of last row's wafer, just can switch to the run location that the zone to be processed of back one row's wafer is injected moment; To the suitable setting that above-mentioned ion beam injects intensity, various translational speeds, all more or less freely to those skilled in the art, do not give unnecessary details so do not do at this.
In addition, for solar wafer, because before the n+ utmost point and the p+ utmost point of making the back side, its structure is symmetrical fully, so does not have definite zone to be processed that is used to form the n+ utmost point and the zone to be processed that is used to form the p+ utmost point on its back side.For this reason; The actual course of processing as far as solar wafer is simpler and easy compared to above-mentioned universality scheme; As long as set the operational factor of transmission platform, processing unit (plant) and control device; And the wafer ground proper alignment of aliging each other get final product on transmission platform, and need not the strict placement direction of distinguishing them, accomplish process after the n+ utmost point and the position of the p+ utmost point of each chip back surface just can form distribution shown in Figure 2 naturally.But for other common workpiece; Before successively passing through the machining medium zone of action of each processing unit (plant); Just had each definite zone to be processed on each workpiece; The arrangement mode of wafer this moment on transmission platform then must carry out according to above-mentioned placement direction; Though therefore this embodiment is to be example with the solar wafer, but still the arrangement mode of workpiece on transmission platform 2 carried out detailed explanation, so that in the reference that provides enough detailed man-hour that adds that the mode vacuum process equipment in the present embodiment is used for other workpiece.
The embodiment 2 of mode vacuum process equipment
As shown in Figure 3, the mode vacuum process equipment of present embodiment only is with difference between the embodiment of mode vacuum process equipment 1: 1) arrangement mode of wafer on transmission platform 2 is different; 2) size of the machining medium zone of action of processing unit (plant) is different.
In the present embodiment, 1) in same Workpiece carrier zone, wafer aligns each other; And the moving direction along transmission platform 2 is observed; The zone identical to be processed of every pair of adjacent chip is adjacent, promptly is used to form the zone of the n+ utmost point and is used to form the regional adjacent of the p+ utmost point, that is to say; When the moving direction of transmission platform 2 is observed, the n+ utmost point of every pair of adjacent chip in each Workpiece carrier zone and the p+ utmost point towards all being opposite; 2) when the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2 observed, the zone different to be processed of every pair of adjacent chip of adhering to Workpiece carrier zone A and Workpiece carrier area B separately is adjacent.
In the present embodiment, the size of the ion beam zone of action of processing unit (plant) 3a and 3b is: on the moving direction of transmission platform 2, cover two zone or two zones that are used to form the n+ utmost point that are used to form the p+ utmost point; On the direction vertical, cover Workpiece carrier zone A or B with the moving direction of transmission platform 2.
When this mode vacuum process equipment actual motion; Transmission platform 2 is carrying wafer laterally moving with a constant speed in Fig. 3; Meanwhile; Processing unit (plant) 3a and 3b then carry out following action (only the action with processing unit (plant) 3a is that example describes, and processing unit (plant) 3b changes into the oblique line fill area from the grid fill area except the processing object zone, and its manner of execution and processing unit (plant) 3a are identical):
S 1, first and second row's wafer of in the Workpiece carrier area B, vertically arranging in Fig. 3 of processing unit (plant) 3a area E that is used to form the n+ utmost point 1 inject n+ polarity ion;
S 2, this control device makes the n+ polarity ionization zone of processing unit (plant) 3a with transmission platform 2 very fast relatively moving take place on the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2; So that zone of action moment of n+ polarity ion switches to aiming area E2 from aiming area E1; Area E 2 is the zone that is used to form the n+ utmost point of second and third row's wafer of vertically arranging in Fig. 3 among the A of Workpiece carrier zone, and the ion accomplished area E 2 of processing unit (plant) 3a injects immediately;
S 3, this control device makes the n+ polarity ionization zone of processing unit (plant) 3a with transmission platform 2 very fast relatively moving take place once more on the direction vertical with the moving direction of transmission platform 2; So that zone of action moment of n+ polarity ion switches to aiming area E3 from aiming area E2; Area E 3 is the zone that is used to form the n+ utmost point of third and fourth row's wafer of vertically arranging in Fig. 3 in the Workpiece carrier area B, and the ion accomplished area E 3 of processing unit (plant) 3a injects immediately;
S 4, according to step S 2-S 3Mode, the workpiece among Fig. 3 is processed from right to left successively the whole workpiece completion of processing on this transmission platform, or the whole workpiece completion of processing on follow-up a plurality of transmission platforms.
Wherein, When the moving direction of transmission platform 2 was observed, each zone (for example area E 1, E2, E3) that receives the processing of processing unit (plant) 3a all was adjacent successively, this shows; Processing unit (plant) 3a is carrying out effectively processing continuously all the time to wafer, so working (machining) efficiency is high.
