摘要: 本文针对典型8英寸热壁卧式SiC外延生长系统建立了考虑衬底转动、Si-C-Cl-H体系反应机理和多物理过程热质输运的数学模型,并用于三维数值仿真模拟研究。此外,本文特别研究了不同衬底表面平均温度、进气流量、进气Si/H2比对外延层生长速率和厚度均匀性的影响。结果表明:衬底转动提高了衬底表面温度分布均匀性,SiC瞬时生长速率主要受表面附近生长组分浓度影响;外延层厚度均匀性主要受SiC瞬时生长速率沿流动方向的分布影响,衬底前缘和后缘的瞬时生长速率须相互补偿以提高厚度均匀性;提高衬底表面平均温度、降低进气流量和降低进气Si/H2比均导致瞬时生长速率沿流动方向的分布由上凸向下凸转变,衬底表面实际生长速率的分布从边缘低中间高逐渐过渡为边缘高中间低;所考察的参数范围内进气流量对瞬时生长速率分布影响最大。

Abstract: A mathematical model considering substrate rotation, Si-C-Cl-H system reaction mechanism and multi-physical heat and mass transport process were established for a typical 8-inch hot-wall horizontal SiC epitaxial growth system, and it was used for three-dimensional numerical simulation research. In particular, the effects of different substrate surface average temperature, inlet flow rate, and inlet Si/H2 ratio on the growth rate and thickness uniformity of epitaxial layer were studied. The results show that the substrate rotation improves the uniformity of temperature distribution on the substrate surface, and the instantaneous growth rate of SiC is mainly affected by the concentration of growth components near the surface. The thickness uniformity of epitaxial layer is mainly affected by the distribution of the instantaneous growth rate of SiC along the flow direction. The instantaneous growth rate of leading edge and trailing edge of substrate must compensate each other to improve the thickness uniformity. Increasing the average temperature of substrate surface, reducing the inlet flow rate and decreasing the Si/H2 ratio of the inlet gas all lead to change of distribution of the instantaneous growth rate along the flow direction from concave to convex, and the distribution of the actual growth rate on substrate surface gradually changes from the edge low center high to the edge high center low. The inlet flow rate has the greatest influence on the instantaneous growth rate distribution in the parameter range investigated.
