Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to methods and apparatus for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a substrate, and, in particular, to a showerhead design for use in metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and/or hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE).
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- MOCVD metal organic chemical vapor deposition
- HVPE hydride vapor phase epitaxy
- Group III-V films are finding greater importance in the development and fabrication of a variety of semiconductor devices, such as short wavelength light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes (LDs), and electronic devices including high power, high frequency, high temperature transistors and integrated circuits.
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- LDs laser diodes
- electronic devices including high power, high frequency, high temperature transistors and integrated circuits.
- short wavelength (e.g., blue/green to ultraviolet) LEDs are fabricated using the Group III-nitride semiconducting material gallium nitride (GaN). It has been observed that short wavelength LEDs fabricated using GaN can provide significantly greater efficiencies and longer operating lifetimes than short wavelength LEDs fabricated using non-nitride semiconducting materials, such as Group II-VI materials.
- MOCVD metal organic chemical vapor deposition
- This chemical vapor deposition method is generally performed in a reactor having a temperature controlled environment to assure the stability of a first precursor gas which contains at least one element from Group III, such as gallium (Ga).
- a second precursor gas such as ammonia (NH 3 ) provides the nitrogen needed to form a Group III-nitride.
- the two precursor gases are injected into a processing zone within the reactor where they mix and move towards a heated substrate in the processing zone.
- a carrier gas may be used to assist in the transport of the precursor gases towards the substrate.
- the precursors react at the surface of the heated substrate to form a Group III-nitride layer, such as GaN, on the substrate surface.
- the quality of the film depends in part upon deposition uniformity which, in turn, depends upon uniform mixing of the precursors across the substrate.
- each substrate may have a diameter ranging from 50 mm to 100 mm or larger.
- the uniform mixing of precursors over larger substrates and/or more substrates and larger deposition areas is desirable in order to increase yield and throughput. These factors are important since they directly affect the cost to produce an electronic device and, thus, a device manufacturer's competitiveness in the marketplace.
- Interaction of the precursor gases with the hot hardware components which are often found in the processing zone of an LED or LD forming reactor, generally causes the precursor to break-down and deposit on these hot surfaces.
- the hot reactor surfaces are formed by radiation from the heat sources used to heat the substrates.
- the deposition of the precursor materials on the hot surfaces can be especially problematic when it occurs in or on the precursor distribution components, such as the showerhead. Deposition on the precursor distribution components affects the flow distribution uniformity over time. Therefore, there is a need for a gas distribution apparatus that prevents or reduces the likelihood that the MOCVD precursors, or HVPE precursors, are heated to a temperature that causes them to break down and affect the performance of the gas distribution device.

Description
- This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/324,271 (APPM/015324L), filed Apr. 14, 2010, which is herein incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to methods and apparatus for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a substrate, and, in particular, to a showerhead design for use in metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and/or hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE).
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Group III-V films are finding greater importance in the development and fabrication of a variety of semiconductor devices, such as short wavelength light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes (LDs), and electronic devices including high power, high frequency, high temperature transistors and integrated circuits. For example, short wavelength (e.g., blue/green to ultraviolet) LEDs are fabricated using the Group III-nitride semiconducting material gallium nitride (GaN). It has been observed that short wavelength LEDs fabricated using GaN can provide significantly greater efficiencies and longer operating lifetimes than short wavelength LEDs fabricated using non-nitride semiconducting materials, such as Group II-VI materials.
- One method that has been used for depositing Group III-nitrides, such as GaN, is metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). This chemical vapor deposition method is generally performed in a reactor having a temperature controlled environment to assure the stability of a first precursor gas which contains at least one element from Group III, such as gallium (Ga). A second precursor gas, such as ammonia (NH3), provides the nitrogen needed to form a Group III-nitride. The two precursor gases are injected into a processing zone within the reactor where they mix and move towards a heated substrate in the processing zone. A carrier gas may be used to assist in the transport of the precursor gases towards the substrate. The precursors react at the surface of the heated substrate to form a Group III-nitride layer, such as GaN, on the substrate surface. The quality of the film depends in part upon deposition uniformity which, in turn, depends upon uniform mixing of the precursors across the substrate.
- Multiple substrates may be arranged on a substrate carrier and each substrate may have a diameter ranging from 50 mm to 100 mm or larger. The uniform mixing of precursors over larger substrates and/or more substrates and larger deposition areas is desirable in order to increase yield and throughput. These factors are important since they directly affect the cost to produce an electronic device and, thus, a device manufacturer's competitiveness in the marketplace.
- Interaction of the precursor gases with the hot hardware components, which are often found in the processing zone of an LED or LD forming reactor, generally causes the precursor to break-down and deposit on these hot surfaces. Typically, the hot reactor surfaces are formed by radiation from the heat sources used to heat the substrates. The deposition of the precursor materials on the hot surfaces can be especially problematic when it occurs in or on the precursor distribution components, such as the showerhead. Deposition on the precursor distribution components affects the flow distribution uniformity over time. Therefore, there is a need for a gas distribution apparatus that prevents or reduces the likelihood that the MOCVD precursors, or HVPE precursors, are heated to a temperature that causes them to break down and affect the performance of the gas distribution device.
- Also, as the demand for LEDs, LDs, transistors, and integrated circuits increases, the efficiency of depositing high quality Group-III nitride films takes on greater importance. Therefore, there is a need for an improved deposition apparatus and process that can provide consistent film quality over larger substrates and larger deposition areas.
- The present invention generally provides improved methods and apparatus for depositing Group III-nitride films using MOCVD and/or HVPE processes.
- One embodiment of the present invention provides a showerhead apparatus comprising a first gas channel coupled to a first gas inlet, a second gas channel coupled to a second gas inlet, a plurality of first gas conduits fluidly coupling the first gas channel to an exit surface of the showerhead apparatus, and a plurality of second gas conduits fluidly coupling the second gas channel to the exit surface of the showerhead apparatus. The first gas channel is isolated from the second gas channel, and at least one of the first gas conduits is disposed within at least one of the second gas conduits.
- Another embodiment provides a substrate processing apparatus comprising a chamber body, a substrate support, and a showerhead apparatus, wherein a processing volume is defined by the chamber body, the substrate support, and the showerhead apparatus. The showerhead apparatus comprises a first gas channel coupled to a first gas inlet, a second gas channel coupled to a second gas inlet, a plurality of first gas conduits fluidly coupling the first gas channel to the processing volume, and a plurality of second gas conduits fluidly coupling the second gas channel to the processing volume. The first gas channel is isolated from the second gas channel, and at least one of the first gas conduits is concentrically disposed within at least one of the second gas conduits.
- Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides a method of processing substrates comprising introducing a first gas into a processing volume of a processing chamber through a first gas inlet coupled to a first gas channel of a showerhead assembly and introducing a second gas into the processing volume of the processing chamber through a second gas inlet coupled to a second gas channel of the showerhead assembly. The first gas channel is isolated from the second gas channel, and the first gas is delivered into the processing volume through a plurality of first gas conduits and the second gas is delivered into the processing volume through a plurality of second gas conduits. At least one of the first gas conduits is concentrically disposed within at least one of the second gas conduits.

It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating one embodiment of aprocessing system 100 that comprises the one ormore MOCVD chambers 102 for fabricating compound nitride semiconductor devices according to embodiments described herein. In one embodiment, theprocessing system 100 is closed to atmosphere. Theprocessing system 100 comprises atransfer chamber 106, aMOCVD chamber 102 coupled with thetransfer chamber 106, aloadlock chamber 108 coupled with thetransfer chamber 106, abatch loadlock chamber 109, for storing substrates, coupled with thetransfer chamber 106, and aload station 110, for loading substrates, coupled with theloadlock chamber 108. Thetransfer chamber 106 comprises a robot assembly (not shown) operable to pick up and transfer substrates between theloadlock chamber 108, thebatch loadlock chamber 109, and theMOCVD chamber 102. Although asingle MOCVD chamber 102 is shown, it should be understood that more than oneMOCVD chamber 102 or additionally, combinations of one ormore MOCVD chambers 102 with one or more Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxial (HVPE) chambers may also be coupled with thetransfer chamber 106. It should also be understood that although a cluster tool is shown, the embodiments described herein may be performed using linear track systems. - In one embodiment, the
transfer chamber 106 remains under vacuum during substrate transfer processes. The transfer chamber vacuum level may be adjusted to match the vacuum level of theMOCVD chamber 102. For example, when transferring substrates from atransfer chamber 106 into the MOCVD chamber 102 (or vice versa), thetransfer chamber 106 and theMOCVD chamber 102 may be maintained at the same vacuum level. Then, when transferring substrates from thetransfer chamber 106 to the load lock chamber 108 (or vice versa) or the batch load lock chamber 109 (or vice versa), the transfer chamber vacuum level may be adjusted to match the vacuum level of theloadlock chamber 108 or batchload lock chamber 109 even through the vacuum level of theloadlock chamber 108 or batchload lock chamber 109 and theMOCVD chamber 102 may be different. Thus, the vacuum level of thetransfer chamber 106 is adjustable. In certain embodiments, substrates are transferred in a high purity inert gas environment, such as, a high purity N2 environment. In one embodiment, substrates transferred in an environment having greater than 90% N2. In certain embodiments, substrates are transferred in a high purity NH3 environment. In one embodiment, substrates are transferred in an environment having greater than 90% NH3. In certain embodiments, substrates are transferred in a high purity H2 environment. In one embodiment, substrates are transferred in an environment having greater than 90% H2. - In the
processing system 100, the robot assembly (not shown) transfers asubstrate carrier plate 112 loaded with substrates into thesingle MOCVD chamber 102 to undergo deposition. In one embodiment, thesubstrate carrier plate 112 may have a diameter ranging from about 200 mm to about 750 mm. Thesubstrate carrier plate 112 may be formed from a variety of materials, including SiC or SiC-coated graphite. In one embodiment, thesubstrate carrier plate 112 comprises a silicon carbide material. In one embodiment, thesubstrate carrier plate 112 has a surface area of about 1,000 cm2 or more, preferably 2,000 cm2 or more, and more preferably 4,000 cm2 or more. After some or all deposition steps have been completed, thesubstrate carrier plate 112 is transferred from theMOCVD chamber 102 back to theloadlock chamber 108 via the transfer robot. In one embodiment, thesubstrate carrier plate 112 is then transferred to theload station 110. In another embodiment, thesubstrate carrier plate 112 may be stored in either theloadlock chamber 108 or the batchload lock chamber 109 prior to further processing in theMOCVD chamber 102. Oneexemplary processing system 100 that may be adapted in accordance with embodiments of the present invention is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/023,572, filed Jan. 31, 2008, now published as US 2009-0194026, entitled PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR FABRICATING COMPOUND NITRIDE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. - In one embodiment, a
system controller 160 controls activities and operating parameters of theprocessing system 100. Thesystem controller 160 includes a computer processor and a computer-readable memory coupled to the processor. The processor executes system control software, such as a computer program stored in memory. Exemplary aspects of theprocessing system 100 and methods of use adaptable to embodiments of the present invention are further described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/404,516, filed Apr. 14, 2006, now published as US 2007-024516, entitled EPITAXIAL GROWTH OF COMPOUND NITRIDE STRUCTURES, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. -
FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of theMOCVD chamber 102 according to embodiments of the present invention. TheMOCVD chamber 102 comprises achamber body 202, achemical delivery module 203 for delivering precursor gases, carrier gases, cleaning gases, and/or purge gases, aremote plasma system 226 with a plasma source, a susceptor orsubstrate support 214, and avacuum system 212. Thechamber body 202 encloses aprocessing volume 208. Ashowerhead assembly 204 is disposed at one end of theprocessing volume 208, and thesubstrate carrier plate 112 is disposed at the other end of theprocessing volume 208. Thesubstrate carrier plate 112 may be disposed on thesubstrate support 214. Thesubstrate support 214 has z-lift capability for moving in a vertical direction, as shown byarrow 215. In one embodiment, the z-lift capability may be used to move thesubstrate support 214 upwardly, and closer to theshowerhead assembly 204, and downwardly, and further away from theshowerhead assembly 204. In one embodiment, the distance from the surface of theshowerhead assembly 204 that is adjacent theprocessing volume 208 to thesubstrate carrier plate 112 during processing ranges from about 4 mm to about 41 mm. In certain embodiments, thesubstrate support 214 comprises a heating element (e.g., a resistive heating element (not shown)) for controlling the temperature of thesubstrate support 214 and consequently controlling the temperature of thesubstrate carrier plate 112 andsubstrates 240 positioned on thesubstrate carrier plate 112 and thesubstrate support 214. - In one embodiment, the
showerhead assembly 204 has a firstprocessing gas channel 204A coupled with thechemical delivery module 203 via a firstprocessing gas inlet 259 for delivering a first precursor or first process gas mixture to theprocessing volume 208. In one embodiment, thechemical delivery module 203 is configured to deliver a metal organic precursor to the firstprocessing gas channel 204A. In one example, the metal organic precursor comprises a suitable gallium (Ga) precursor (e.g., trimethyl gallium (“TMG”), triethyl gallium (TEG)), a suitable aluminum precursor (e.g., trimethyl aluminum (“TMA”)), or a suitable indium precursor (e.g., trimethyl indium (“TMI”)). - In one embodiment, a
blocker plate 255 is positioned across the firstprocessing gas channel 204A. Theblocker plate 255 has a plurality oforifices 257 disposed therethrough. In one embodiment, theblocker plate 255 is positioned between the firstprocessing gas inlet 259 and the firstprocessing gas channel 204A for uniformly distributing gas received from thechemical delivery module 203 into the firstprocessing gas channel 204A. - In one embodiment, the
showerhead assembly 204 has a secondprocessing gas channel 204B coupled with thechemical delivery module 203 for delivering a second precursor or second process gas mixture to theprocessing volume 208 via a secondprocessing gas inlet 258. In one embodiment, thechemical delivery module 203 is configured to deliver a suitable nitrogen containing processing gas, such as ammonia (NH3) or other MOCVD or HVPE processing gas, to the secondprocessing gas channel 204B. In one embodiment, the secondprocessing gas channel 204B is separated from the firstprocessing gas channel 204A by a firsthorizontal wall 276 of theshowerhead 204. - The
showerhead assembly 204 may further include atemperature control channel 204C coupled with aheat exchanging system 270 for flowing a heat exchanging fluid through theshowerhead assembly 204 to help regulate the temperature of theshowerhead assembly 204. Suitable heat exchanging fluids include, but are not limited to, water, water-based ethylene glycol mixtures, a perfluoropolyether (e.g., Galden® fluid), oil-based thermal transfer fluids, or similar fluids. In one embodiment, the secondprocessing gas channel 204B is separated from thetemperature control channel 204C by a secondhorizontal wall 277 of theshowerhead 204. Thetemperature control channel 204C may be separated from theprocessing volume 208 by a thirdhorizontal wall 278 of theshowerhead 204. -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of detail A shown inFIG. 2 . Referring toFIGS. 2 and 3 , in one embodiment, the first precursor or first processing gas mixture, such as a metal organic precursor, is delivered from the firstprocessing gas channel 204A through the secondprocessing gas channel 204B and thetemperature control channel 204C into theprocessing volume 208 via a plurality ofinner gas conduits 246. Theinner gas conduits 246 may be cylindrical tubes located within aligned holes disposed through the firsthorizontal wall 276, the secondhorizontal wall 277, and the thirdhorizontal wall 278 of theshowerhead 204. In one embodiment, theinner gas conduits 246 are each attached to the firsthorizontal wall 276 of theshowerhead assembly 204 by suitable means, such as brazing. - In one embodiment, the second precursor or second processing gas mixture, such as a nitrogen precursor, is delivered from the second
processing gas channel 204B through thetemperature control channel 204C and into theprocessing volume 208 via a plurality ofouter gas conduits 245. Theouter gas conduits 245 may be cylindrical tubes each located concentrically about a respectiveinner gas conduit 246. Theouter gas conduits 245 are located within the aligned holes disposed through the secondhorizontal wall 277 and the thirdhorizontal wall 278 of theshowerhead 204. In one embodiment, theouter gas conduits 245 are each attached to the secondhorizontal wall 277 of theshowerhead assembly 204 by suitable means, such as brazing. - As previously presented, the
MOCVD chamber 102 may be used for deposition of Group III-nitride films. In one embodiment, the Group III-nitride films are deposited at a temperature exceeding about 550° C. In one embodiment, during processing, a cooling fluid is circulated through thetemperature control channel 204C in order to cool theshowerhead assembly 204, and in particular, to cool the metal organic precursor being delivered through theinner gas conduits 246, which extend through the coolingchannel 204C, to prevent decomposition of the metal organic precursor before it is introduced into theprocessing volume 208. Additionally, it is believed that surrounding the metal organic precursor flowing through eachinner gas conduit 246 with a flow of nitrogen-containing gas through the secondprocessing gas channel 204B and eachouter conduit 245, provides additional cooling and thermal insulation from the high processing temperatures within theprocessing volume 208, in order to prevent decomposition of the metal organic precursor before it is introduced into theprocessing volume 208. -
FIG. 4A is a partial, schematic, bottom view of amultiple precursor showerhead 400 having a classic, one-to-one, square pattern of gas passages. Similar to embodiments of the present invention, theshowerhead 400 has a first processing gas channel coupled to a processing region via afirst gas conduit 402 and a second processing gas channel coupled to the processing region via asecond gas conduit 404. In the depicted configuration, thefirst conduits 402 and thesecond gas conduits 404 are configured in a one-to-one square pattern. The configuration depicted inFIG. 4A results in a pattern in which each row of conduits has more of thesecond gas conduits 404 than thefirst gas conduits 402 or vice versa. Additionally, the one-to-one square pattern of first and second gas conduits (402 and 404) results in a limited number of gas passages from each gas channel due to space constraints. The result is a less uniform than desirable distribution of gases across substrates positioned in the processing volume, resulting in less than desirable deposition uniformity. -
FIG. 4B is a partial, schematic, bottom view of theshowerhead assembly 204 fromFIG. 2 and according to one embodiment of the present invention. As depicted, the concentric tube configuration comprising theouter gas conduit 245 that delivers a second gas from the secondprocessing gas channel 204B and theinner gas conduit 246 that delivers a first gas from the firstprocessing gas channel 204A are arranged in a much closer and more uniform pattern as compared to that shown inFIG. 4A . In one embodiment, the concentric tubes are configured in a hexagonal close packed arrangement. Such a configuration provides a significantly increased number of gas passages for both the first and second processing gases as compared to the configuration depicted inFIG. 4A . For instance, the configuration depicted inFIG. 4B has over twice as many gas passages for each processing gas as the configuration depicted inFIG. 4A for showerheads (204, 400) having the same surface area exposed to theprocessing volume 208. As a result of the configuration depicted inFIG. 4B , each of the first and second processing gases, delivered from the firstprocessing gas channel 204A and the secondprocessing gas channel 204B, is delivered more evenly across thesubstrates 240 positioned in theprocessing volume 208, resulting in significantly more deposition uniformity than the configuration depicted inFIG. 4A . - Exemplary showerheads that may be adapted to practice embodiments described herein are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/873,132, filed Oct. 16, 2007, now published as US 2009-0098276, entitled MULTI-GAS STRAIGHT CHANNEL SHOWERHEAD, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/873,141, filed Oct. 16, 2007, now published as US 2009-0095222, entitled MULTI-GAS SPIRAL CHANNEL SHOWERHEAD, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/873,170, filed Oct. 16, 2007, now published as US 2009-0095221, entitled MULTI-GAS CONCENTRIC INJECTION SHOWERHEAD, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
- Referring back to
FIG. 2 , alower dome 219 is disposed at one end of alower volume 210, and thesubstrate carrier plate 112 is disposed at the other end of thelower volume 210. Thesubstrate carrier plate 112 is shown in an elevated, process position, but may be moved to a lower position where, for example, thesubstrates 240 may be loaded or unloaded. Anexhaust ring 220 may be disposed around the periphery of thesubstrate carrier plate 112 to help prevent deposition from occurring in thelower volume 210 and also help direct exhaust gases from thechamber 102 to exhaustports 209. Thelower dome 219 may be made of transparent material, such as high-purity quartz, to allow light to pass through for radiant heating of thesubstrates 240. The radiant heating may be provided by a plurality ofinner lamps 221A andouter lamps 221B disposed below thelower dome 219.Reflectors 266 may be used to help control exposure of thechamber 102 to the radiant energy provided by the inner andouter lamps substrates 240. - In certain embodiments of the present invention, a purge gas (e.g., a nitrogen containing gas) is delivered into the
chamber 102 from theshowerhead assembly 204 through one or morepurge gas channels 281 coupled to apurge gas source 282. In this embodiment, the purge gas is distributed through a plurality oforifices 284 about the periphery of theshowerhead 204. The plurality oforifices 284 may be configured in a circular pattern about the periphery of theshowerhead assembly 204 and positioned distribute the purge gas about the periphery of thesubstrate carrier plate 112 to prevent undesirable deposition on edges of thesubstrate carrier plate 112, theshowerhead 204, and other components of thechamber 102, which result in particle formation and, ultimately contamination of thesubstrates 240. The purge gas flows downwardly intomultiple exhaust ports 209, which are disposed around anannular exhaust channel 205. Anexhaust conduit 206 connects theannular exhaust channel 205 to avacuum system 212, which includes avacuum pump 207. The pressure of thechamber 102 may be controlled using a valve system, which controls the rate at which the exhaust gases are drawn from theannular exhaust channel 205. - In other embodiments, purge
gas tubes 283 are disposed near the bottom of thechamber body 102. In this configuration, the purge gas enters thelower volume 210 of thechamber 102 and flows upwardly past thesubstrate carrier plate 112 andexhaust ring 220 and into themultiple exhaust ports 209. Other aspects of theMOCVD chamber 102 are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/023,520, filed Jan. 31, 2008, published as US 2009-0194024, and titled CVD APPARATUS, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. - The
chemical delivery module 203 supplies chemicals to theMOCVD chamber 102. Reactive gases (e.g., first and second precursor gases), carrier gases, purge gases, and cleaning gases may be supplied from the chemical delivery system through supply lines and into thechamber 102. In one embodiment, the gases are supplied through supply lines and into a gas mixing box where they are mixed together and delivered to theshowerhead assembly 204. Generally supply lines for each of the gases include shut-off valves that can be used to automatically or manually shut-off the flow of the gas into its associated line, and mass flow controllers or other types of controllers that measure the flow of gas or liquid through the supply lines. Supply lines for each of the gases may also include concentration monitors for monitoring precursor concentrations and providing real time feedback. Backpressure regulators may be included to control precursor gas concentrations. Valve switching control may be used for quick and accurate valve switching capability. Moisture sensors in the gas lines measure water levels and can provide feedback to the system software which in turn can provide warnings/alerts to operators. The gas lines may also be heated to prevent precursors and cleaning gases from condensing in the supply lines. Depending upon the process used some of the sources may be liquid rather than gas. When liquid sources are used, the chemical delivery module includes a liquid injection system or other appropriate mechanism (e.g., a bubbler) to vaporize the liquid. Vapor from the liquids is then usually mixed with a carrier gas as would be understood by a person of skill in the art. - The
remote plasma system 226 can produce a plasma for selected applications, such as chamber cleaning or etching residue from a process substrate. Plasma species produced in theremote plasma system 226 from precursors supplied via an input line are sent via aconduit 204D for dispersion through theshowerhead assembly 204 to theMOCVD chamber 102. Precursor gases for a cleaning application may include chlorine containing gases, fluorine containing gases, iodine containing gases, bromine containing gases, nitrogen containing gases, and/or other reactive elements. Theremote plasma system 226 may also be adapted to deposit CVD layers flowing appropriate deposition precursor gases intoremote plasma system 226 during a layer deposition process. In one embodiment, theremote plasma system 226 is used to deliver active chlorine species to theprocessing volume 208 for cleaning the interior of theMOCVD chamber 102. - The temperature of the walls of the
MOCVD chamber 102 and surrounding structures, such as the exhaust passageway, may be further controlled by circulating a heat-exchange liquid through channels (not shown) in the walls of thechamber 102. The heat-exchange liquid can be used to heat or cool thechamber body 202 depending on the desired effect. For example, hot liquid may help maintain an even thermal gradient during a thermal deposition process, whereas a cool liquid may be used to remove heat from the system during an in-situ plasma process, or to limit formation of deposition products on the walls of the chamber. This heating, referred to as heating by the “heat exchanger”, beneficially reduces or eliminates condensation of undesirable reactant products and improves the elimination of volatile products of the process gases and other contaminants that might contaminate the process if they were to condense on the walls of cool vacuum passages and migrate back into the processing chamber during periods of no gas flow. - In one embodiment, during processing, a first precursor gas flows from the first
processing gas channel 204A in theshowerhead assembly 204 and a second precursor gas flows from the secondprocessing gas channel 204B formed in theshowerhead assembly 204 towards the surface of thesubstrates 240. As noted above, the first precursor gas and/or second precursor gas may comprise one or more precursor gases or process gasses as well as carrier gases and dopant gases which may be mixed with the precursor gases. The draw of theexhaust ports 209 may affect gas flow so that the process gases flow substantially tangential to thesubstrates 240 and may be uniformly distributed radially across the substrate deposition surfaces in a laminar flow. In one embodiment, theprocessing volume 208 may be maintained at a pressure of about 760 Torr down to about 80 Torr. - In summary, embodiments of the present invention include a showerhead assembly having concentric tube assemblies for separately delivering processing gases into a processing volume of a processing chamber. The concentric tube assemblies may be disposed in a hexagonal close packed arrangement for providing greater uniformity of the processing gases into the processing volume of the processing chamber. As a result, improved deposition uniformity is achieved on a plurality of substrates positioned in the processing volume of the processing chamber.
