개요

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grows thin films of materials on substrates by decomposing gas-phase precursor molecules. The technique is essential for depositing silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, tungsten, copper, and other materials in semiconductor fabrication. Variants include thermal CVD, plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Each transistor in a modern chip contains dozens of CVD-deposited layers, making CVD one of the most repeated processes in semiconductor manufacturing.

화학 공정

Gaseous precursors are introduced into a heated or plasma-activated chamber where they decompose or react on the substrate surface to form a solid thin film. For SiO₂ deposition, TEOS (tetraethyl orthosilicate) is decomposed at 650-750 degrees C or with O₂ plasma. For tungsten contacts, WF₆ is reduced with H₂ or SiH₄. Film thickness is controlled to angstrom precision via deposition time and conditions.

Si(OC₂H₅)₄ →[650 degrees C or plasma] SiO₂ + organic byproducts (TEOS decomposition)
WF₆ + 3H₂ → W + 6HF (tungsten CVD)
3SiH₄ + 4NH₃ →[plasma] Si₃N₄ + 12H₂ (silicon nitride PECVD)

원자재

  • TEOS (Si(OC₂H₅)₄) — Reaction of SiCl₄ with ethanol (SiO₂ precursor)
  • Silane (SiH₄) — Hydrogenation of SiCl₄ or disproportionation (Silicon and SiN precursor)
  • Tungsten hexafluoride (WF₆) — Fluorination of tungsten metal (Tungsten metal precursor)

최종 제품

  • Thin film coatings on semiconductor wafers — Dielectric layers, metal interconnects, barrier layers in ICs (1-1000 nm thickness, angstrom-level uniformity)

Environmental Impact

CVD processes use toxic and pyrophoric gases (silane, diborane, phosphine). Exhaust gases must be scrubbed or thermally destroyed before release. Perfluorinated compounds used in chamber cleaning (NF₃, C₂F₆) are potent greenhouse gases. The industry is transitioning to remote NF₃ plasma cleaning to reduce PFC emissions.
