1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope
These procedures apply to the Tystar Tytan Silicon Nitride LPCVD
(Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) Furnace system. All maintenance should follow the
procedures set forth in the manufacturer’s maintenance and operations manuals. This document is
for reference only. Personnel should be trained by authorized staff before operating this equipment.
1.2 Description
Tystar Silicon Nitride LPCVD furnace is configured as a single tube for high temperature (700C°- 950C°) at reduced pressures (250 mtorr) to produce low deposition rate CVD processes. The Tystar Silicon Nitride processes are capable of producing highly impermeable barrier layer to H2O, O2, Na, H with excellent material properties as density, refractive index, dielectric constant and slow HF etch rates.The tool has been qualified for low stress and stoichiometric Si3N4 processes. Tystar LPCVD can process up to 25 (4” or 3” diameter) Silicon wafers during a run. The tool operates as a stand-alone unit that comprises of three modules: wafers load/unload module, furnace/process tube module, and gas control module. The system has its own computer, FCS10, whose display panel and keypad are located on the right side of the wafer load/unload module. The furnace uses highly accurate MFC’s (mass flow controllers) and uses dichlorosilane (DCS) and ammonia (NH3) as sources for the silicon and nitrogen to achieve optimum mass transport to the wafer surface to achieve optimum LPCVD conditions for improved thickness uniformity and substrate spacing sensitivity. The furnace operation is controlled by using the special function buttons and a series of menu commands.
1.3 Safety
1.3.1 This furnace uses DCS (SiH2Cl2) which is a colorless toxic gas that is extremely flammable and explosive in contact with air. This gas can form flammable mixtures in air and release of this gas which has not spontaneously ignited must be considered extremely dangerous and should not be approached. The tool also uses Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) which is a powerful caustic irritant to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Lastly this tool uses Nitrogen ( N2 ) gas which in high concentrations can be asphyxiates. The process gases are normally pumped out of system; however if the process pressure is not being maintained or the furnace cannot reach base pressure notify NanoFab staff immediately.
1.3.2 Before using the tool read the DCS (SiH2Cl2) and Ammonia (NH3) material safety data sheets (MSDS) provided. http://www.consultant-on-demand.net/documents/DCSMSDS.pdf http://www.alliedaviation.com/locations/pipeline/MSDS.pdf Users are not allowed to open or adjust the any gas bottle valve or regulators for this system.
Call NanoFab staff for gas bottle or gas regulator issues.

1.3.3 This tool continuously monitors, displays and records the toxic gas PPM(parts per million) levels
using the Drager Polytron 2 XP Transmitters and DraegerGard controller. If a PPM level exceeds an alarm set point the controller will relay an audible and visual alarm throughout the building. If the NanoFab system’s alarm light tower YELLOW light goes ON immediately leave the NanoFab building informing others to leave on your way out. If the light tower’s RED alarm light and audible alarm goes ON immediately leave the NanoFab building through the closest and safest emergency exit and wait for emergency personnel to arrive. DO NOT operate this machine if the Drager Polytron 2 XP Transmitters displays any warnings, faults or if any RED leds are ON. If any warning, alarms or RED leds are ON notify NanoFab staff immediately.
1.3.4 USERS cannot run the tool if EITHER facility ACID or SOLVENT exhaust are OFF. If you suspect an exhaust problem notify staff.
Acid exhaust OFF = 0 Solvent exhaust OFF = RED
1.3.5 The furnace is connected to high voltage. Be very careful and aware of electrical hazards when
operating this tool. If you encounter any electrical malfunctions contact NanoFab staff immediately.
1.3.6 The furnace will heat to high temperatures (9500 C). Make sure all high temperature heat shields are installed above the furnace to minimize Drager sensors temperature sensitivity. Make sure quarts boat tongs/forks are in place. Do not touch the quartz boat during wafer unload, the quartz is 550C° and will burn your fingers.

1.3.7 This machine has an EMO (Emergency Off) switch/button mounted on the front panel inside the clean room and another in the chase. The EMO switch should be pressed only in an emergency. An emergency would be fire, smoke, toxic gas release, electrocution hazards, and an injury to anyone using this particular piece of equipment. If the EMO is pressed notify NanoFAB staff immediately.
1.3.8 Read any posted NanoFAB Engineering Change Notices (ECN) for any hardware, process or safety changes before running the tool.

4.1.1. Press MAIN MENU. This key takes you to the main menu screen.
4.1.2 Press RECIPE LOAD. Use arrow keys to select your recipe file .Press ENTER twice (double click )to load it. There is a limited disk space in the DCS-10 computer and not all the recipes can be stored at the same time. If your recipe is not listed, contact Nanofab staff to down load it from the host computer.
4.1.3 Wait for the computer to upload and check for recipe errors. This may take 10 seconds.
4.1.4 Press MAIN MENU and the press RUN. After the recipe sequence begins press DISPLAY STATUS to monitor the recipe steps and see the process sequence
count down timer.

4.1.5 Once the recipe sequence has started the only active button is the ABORT button.
If the ABORT button is pressed the software will prompt you for a reply.
If you press on Yes the system will run an abort recipe and go to IDLE step. If you press Yes call NanoFab staff to remove your wafers. If you press No the process will continue.
4.2 Load Wafer
4.2.3 The 1st step in all sequences is STRT step .When the step is at BOUT the boat holder will come out automatically; it will take 5 minutes. After the BOUT step is finished the audible alarm will go on. Press ALARM ACK to silence the alarm. This step will be LDWF (load wafers). You have 20 minutes to load your wafers.
ALARM ACK If the quartz boat is already in the furnace remove the wafer boat with the quartz forks/tongs and load you wafers using the correct size quarts boat ( 3” or 4” boat) and place the wafers with the shinny side facing the clean room (you) and the wafer’s major flat in the “up” direction as shown. If you’re processing 3 -12 wafers separate them equally between slots. Align the boat on the loader cantilever in such a way that you can see the arrow through the right hole of the boat.

4.2.4 When you are finished loading the wafers the on the loader press EVENT to resume the recipe sequence , otherwise you have up to 20 minutes to load you samples and then the tube will close automatically. 4.2.5 You can ABORT the process at any step see section 4.1.4 . 4.2.6 The computer will run the program automatically (35 steps over 10 hours). After the nitride deposition and a subsequent 8 cycle pump purge is finished the sequence will automatically stop/hold at HLD1 step. At the HLD1 step the audio alarm will sound again.
Press ALARM ACK to silence the alarm. At this step USER’s are allowed leave the fab and let the recipe hold at this step overnight and return the next morning to continue the process.
(Don’t press EVENT unless you can return within 2 hours to remove your wafers) When you are ready to continue the process press EVENT. The process now continues and the boat/wafers will automatically come after several steps.
EVENT ALARM ACK
4.3 Unload Wafer
4.3.1. The computer will run the program automatically and once the HLD1 step is acknowledged by pressing EVENT the boat will subsequently come out of the furnace. When the boat is fully out the audible alarm will sound indicating that the boat/wafers are ready to unload from the cantilever loader. Press ALARM ACK to stop the alarm sound . You have 30 minutes to retrieve you wafers or the timer will expire and the loader will move back into the furnace automatically. Carefully remove your wafers/boat by using the quartz fork/tongs as shown. Place the hot wafers/boat on the quartz plate and let cool for 30 minutes before putting the wafers into a cassette/box.
EVENT Press EVENT the loader will move back into the furnace and the recipe will go to IDLE mode.
4.3.2. Before you leave, verify that the FCS-10 (Furnace Control System-10) is in IDLE condition. Leave
the furnace as clean as you found it. Press MAIN MENU to get to the starting screen.
4.3.3. Enter the required information in the logbook.
