- silicon oxide is a very important material in the field of semiconductor. Silicon oxide has different applications according to its growing conditions. In early days, silicon oxide was grown in the furnace in the temperature range from 700 to 1000° C. With the improvement in fabrication techniques, a novel silicon oxide growing method known as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor phase deposition (PECVD) has been developed and successfully demonstrated in the temperature range from 300 to 400° C. However, it is notable that such a temperature range for silicon oxide growth by using plasma is still too high for deep sub-micron fabrication process, which may lead to device damage during PECVD operation. Later, high-vacuum sputtering was proposed but limited by its low throughput and possible ion leakage. Accordingly, the fabrication techniques of the new generation for both ultra large scale integrated circuits (ULSI) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) tend towards lower temperatures. It is beneficial to develop a low-temperature technique for silicon oxide growth without using plasma.

- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- In recent years, the fabrication techniques for both ultra large scale integrated circuits (ULSI) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) tend towards lower temperatures in order to avoid degradation of the device characteristics due to the thermal stress on the thin films. Owing to novel low-temperature related techniques, various low melting-point substrates such as glass substrates and plastic substrates are suitable for use in growth of high-quality thin films with low thermal stress at low temperatures. Therefore, development in low-temperature related techniques has attracted tremendous attention in the industry.
- It is well known that silicon oxide is a very important material in the field of semiconductor. Silicon oxide has different applications according to its growing conditions. In early days, silicon oxide was grown in the furnace in the temperature range from 700 to 1000° C. With the improvement in fabrication techniques, a novel silicon oxide growing method known as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor phase deposition (PECVD) has been developed and successfully demonstrated in the temperature range from 300 to 400° C. However, it is notable that such a temperature range for silicon oxide growth by using plasma is still too high for deep sub-micron fabrication process, which may lead to device damage during PECVD operation. Later, high-vacuum sputtering was proposed but limited by its low throughput and possible ion leakage. Accordingly, the fabrication techniques of the new generation for both ultra large scale integrated circuits (ULSI) and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) tend towards lower temperatures. It is beneficial to develop a low-temperature technique for silicon oxide growth without using plasma.

There is also provided an automatic solutionconcentration monitoring system 109 is to monitor the reactant concentrations. - Step 2: The valve control devices are switched into the mode of adding raw materials powered by the pumps6 of the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system. The unnecessary solid-state particles in the solution are filtered out by using the
filter device 90, and then the filtered solution is supplied into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a of the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system through the valve control devices. There are three ways for supplying the solution into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a of the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system. By adjusting the valve control devices, the three ways are (1) through the pump 6,filter 106, and theheater 110 by heating and filtering; (2) through the pump 6 and filter 106 into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a by filtering without heating; and (3) through the pump 6 directly into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a without filtering and heating. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is exemplified by an over-saturation reaction trough and two liquid level control troughs of a steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system allowing over-flow on two opposite sides. The saturated and filtered solution is stopped being provided when theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a is filled up with the saturated and filtered liquid and the saturated and filtered liquid over-flows into the liquidlevel control trough 80 b to a predetermined level controlled by aliquid level meter 114. The valve control devices are switched into a state in which the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system runs independently. In other words, The saturated solution is powered by the pump 6 to flow from theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a into the liquidlevel control trough 80 b, and then returns to theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a. There are three ways returning the solution into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a of the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system. By adjusting the valve control devices, the three ways are (1) through the pump 6,filter 106, and theheater 110 by heating and filtering; (2) through the pump 6 and filter 106 into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a by filtering without heating; and (3) through the pump 6 directly into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a without filtering and heating. - Step 3: A substrate is provided into the
over-saturation reaction trough 80 a. Then reactants such as de-ionized water and H3BO3 are provided from the twosupply devices 50 by thepump 8 and 10 into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a. Finally, a SiO2 thin film is deposited onto the substrate when the saturated liquid becomes over-saturated. During the reaction, the generated particles can be filtered out by thefilter device 106, the reaction temperature can be controlled by theheater 110 with athermocouple 116, and the reaction conditions can be controlled by the automatic solutionconcentration monitoring system 109. Moreover, the specially designed trough with a swing means 12 improves the uniformity of deposition. There is also provided aliquid level meter 114 for detecting the liquid level in the liquidlevel control trough 80 b. Furthermore, there are also provided afilter jamming sensor 108, anover-heating sensor 118, and apump protection sensor 120 to examine the operation of the system and keep it in a normal condition. - Step 4: The deposition operation is stopped when the concentration of the solution in the over-saturation reaction trough has reached the limitation of the over-saturation reaction trough. Meanwhile, the operation mode of the valve control devices is switched to an exhaust mode and the solution in the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system is powered by the pump6 to flow through the valve control devices into the two
storage troughs 55. A recycled wasteliquid level sensor 102 for detecting the liquid level of the recycled waste liquids and a recycledwaste liquid sensor 104 are also provided to confirm normal operation. - Step5: The operation mode of the valve control devices is switched into a cleaning mode when the solution in the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system is entirely exhausted.
De-ionized water 95 is added into theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a until theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a is filled up and the solution over-flows from theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a into the liquidlevel control trough 80 b. Thede-ionized water 95 is stopped being provided and the operation mode of the vale control devices is switched to a loop mode so that the de-ionized water in the steady-flow over-saturation loop reaction system is powered by the pump 6 to over-flow from theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a into the liquidlevel control trough 80 b and further return to theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a through the pump 6, thefilter 106 and theheater 110. The loop operation lasts for several minutes and then the waste liquid is exhausted as described in Step 4. Otherwise, the liquid is directly exhausted with returning to theover-saturation reaction trough 80 a. - Step 5a: A step of cleaning the
mixture trough 70 can be added.De-ionized water 95 is added into themixture trough 70. After the unnecessary solid-state particles are filtered out by thefilter 90, the waste liquid is exhausted into the twostorage troughs 55 for storing the recycled waste liquids. Otherwise, the waste liquid is directly exhausted into the twostorage troughs 55 without being filtered by thefilter 90. - Step 6: After the cleaning step, the process goes back to
Step 1 as a loop. Furthermore, the apparatus is also provided with aleakage sensor 112 to avoid waste liquid leakage and a plurality of manual sampling exits with the filters and the heaters to examine the operation state of the system. - It is preferable that the two
storage troughs 55 are provided with a recycled wasteliquid level sensor 102 for detecting the liquid level of the recycled waste liquids and a recycledwaste liquid sensor 104 to confirm normal operation. - It is preferable that the apparatus for liquid phase deposition is provided with a
leakage sensor 112 to monitor and detect the leakage during the whole fabrication process. - As discussed so far, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for liquid phase deposition, having the following advantages:
- 1. The present invention employs one-sided over-flow and two sided over-flow systems to perform low temperature liquid phase deposition so that good thin film reliability can be achieved.
- 2. The present invention provides temperature control devices so that high quality thin films with low thermal stress and low fabrication cost can be deposited by using temperature difference during 15 to 20° C.
