Customized CVD coating electric furnaces have a wide range of applications in the semiconductor industry, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Insulation layer deposition
CVD coating electric furnace can be used to deposit insulating layers such as silicon dioxide (SiO ₂) and silicon nitride (Si ∝ N ₄). These insulation layers play a role in electrical insulation, protection, and passivation in semiconductor devices, and are an indispensable part of the semiconductor manufacturing process.
2. Metal layer deposition
Customized CVD coating furnaces can also deposit metal layers such as tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), and aluminum (Al). These metal layers are mainly used for interconnection and contact hole filling, playing a critical role in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices.
3. Doping layer deposition
Through CVD technology, doped layers such as phosphosilicate glass (PSG) and borosilicate glass (BSG) can be deposited. These doping layers are used for local doping and surface passivation to improve the performance of semiconductor devices.
4. Epitaxial growth
CVD coating furnaces are also used for epitaxial growth of single crystal silicon or other semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride. Forming high-quality single crystal layers on the wafer surface is crucial for improving the integration and performance of devices.
5. Deposition of high-k materials
With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the application of high-k dielectric materials such as hafnium oxide (HfO ₂) and zirconium oxide (ZrO ₂) is becoming increasingly widespread. Customized CVD coating furnaces can be used to deposit these high-k materials as MOSFET gate dielectrics to reduce leakage current and improve device performance.
6. Barrier layer sedimentation
In the semiconductor manufacturing process, in order to prevent metal diffusion and protect the integrity of the device, it is necessary to deposit a barrier layer. Customized CVD coating furnaces can deposit barrier layers such as titanium nitride (TiN) and tantalum nitride (TaN) as diffusion barriers for copper interconnects.
7. Other applications
In addition, customized CVD coating furnaces can also be used for growing carbon nanotubes and graphene materials, which have a wide range of applications in electronic devices and sensors. Meanwhile, it can also be used to prepare materials for optical and optoelectronic devices, such as gallium nitride (GaN) and other III-V compound semiconductors, which have great applications in fields such as LEDs and lasers.
In summary, customized CVD coating electric furnaces have broad application prospects and important technical value in the semiconductor industry. By precisely controlling various parameters and conditions during the coating process, high-quality and high-performance semiconductor materials and devices can be prepared, providing strong support for the development of the semiconductor industry.
