A vertical thermal/diffusion furnace is a type of semiconductor processing furnace used for high-temperature treatments such as oxidation, diffusion, and annealing. In a vertical configuration, the tube is oriented vertically, allowing wafers to be loaded on a cantilever or paddle and inserted into the hot zone from above or below.
In a vertical diffusion furnace, the process tube is mounted vertically. Wafers are typically placed in a quartz boat or on a paddle and are loaded into the tube via an elevator mechanism. The furnace has multiple temperature zones to maintain uniform temperature across the load. Gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, or process-specific mixtures are introduced from the top or bottom. The vertical orientation can reduce floor space compared to horizontal tube furnaces and can facilitate easier loading of larger wafers.
Thermal furnaces are typically employed after wafer cleaning and before layer deposition. Oxidation furnaces generate silicon dioxide layers that serve as dielectrics or diffusion barriers. Diffusion furnaces are used to modify the electrical properties of the silicon.
Oxide growth is a fundamental process in semiconductor manufacturing for creating insulating layers in transistors, capacitors, and for mask-making. The furnace can also be used for other thermal processes such as annealing, stress relief, and sintering of thin films.
