     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0022]    One example of a semiconductor substrate is a silicon wafer which is a thin disk of silicon having planar polished top and bottom surface that are parallel to each other. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in reference to silicon wafers and particularly in reference to RIE of through silicon vias (TSVs) in silicon wafers. The term wafer should be understood to apply to silicon wafers in particular and other semiconductor substrates in general. Likewise, the embodiments of the present invention are applicable to RIE of other structures and materials other than silicon. 
         [0023]    To conventionally RIE a wafer, the wafer is electrostatically clamped on a planar substrate holder having a top surface (the surface that contacts the bottom surface of the wafer) that is a uniformly planar across the entire top surface of the substrate holder. A planar surface is defined as a surface having no greater than 20 μm height difference between any two points on the surface. Reactive ions are formed in a plasma and directed toward the top surface of the wafer being etched. When TSVs are reactively ion etched using a planar substrate holder, TSVs near the edge of the wafer do not etch in a direction perpendicular to the top surface of the wafer, but at a direction that is not perpendicular to the top surface of the wafer (i.e., they are tilted). However, TSVs in the rest of the wafer etch do in a direction predominantly perpendicular to the top surface of the wafer (i.e., in they are not tilted). See description of  FIGS. 1, 1A, 1B and 1C  infra. 
         [0024]    The embodiments of the present invention provide electrostatic substrate holders for RIE that are not uniformly planar across the entire top surface of the substrate holder and are configured to clamp a wafer so as to bend the periphery of the wafer toward its center (the wafer is slightly concave facing the flux of reactive ions) so reactive ions impinge the peripheral region of the top surface of the wafer substantially perpendicular (i.e., at a normal incidence angle) across the entire surface of the substrate not covered by any edge protection system (EPS). The embodiments of the present invention allow etching of non-tilted TSVs closer to the edge of the wafer than currently possible and are compatible with edge protection rings that prevent etching of the bevel at the very edge of the wafer. A benefit of the present invention is improved depth, angle, and TSV structure uniformity from the center to the edge of the wafer. 
         [0025]      FIG. 1  is a schematic side view of the change in etch features at the periphery of a substrate RIE. In  FIG. 1 , a RIE chamber  100  contains a wafer  105  on a top surface  107  of a substrate holder  110 . An axis  112  perpendicular to surface  107  passes through the center of wafer  105  and substrate  110 . Isopotential lines  115  within the plasma cause ions  120  to be extracted from the plasma. However, all ions  120  do not impinge on the top surface  125  of wafer  105  normal to top surface  125 . Ions  127  impinge normal to top surface  125  in a central region  130  of top surface  125  but ions  128  impinge at angle that not normal to top surface  125  in a ring shaped peripheral region  135  of top surface  125 . 
         [0026]    The direction of travel of ions  127  is parallel to axis  112  while the direction of travel of ions  128  is at an acute angle of less 90° relative to axis  112 . The result is TSVs  140  in the central region  130  are not tilted relative to top surface  125  (i.e., they etch at an angle of 0° relative to top surface  125 ) while TSVs  145  in the peripheral region  135  are tilted relative to top surface  125  (i.e., they are etched at an angle of greater than 0° relative to top surface  125 ). In one example, for a 200 mm diameter wafer, the tilt angle of TSVs  145  is about 4° and the depth of TSVs  145  is about 25 um less than the depth of TSVs  140 . This can cause open or high resistance defects when the TSVs are subsequently filled due to the TSVs (after wafer thinning) not reaching the backside of the wafer or the conductive fill having voids. 
         [0027]    Peripheral region has a width of D 1 . In one example, for a 200 mm wafer, D 1  is about 5 mm. In one example, an edge protective system (EPS) having a circular opening  147  (see description of  FIG. 8  infra) overlaps about 1.5 mm of peripheral region  135  closest to the edge of the wafer preventing any etching of the wafer under the EPS. 
         [0028]    Dimensions given infra with respect to substrate holders according to embodiments of the present invention are applicable to substrate holders for 200 mm wafers. They may be adjusted for substrate holders for other diameter wafers. 
         [0029]      FIG. 1A  is a top view of a semiconductor substrate illustrating the peripheral region where etch quality is degraded. In  FIG. 1A , the relative positions of central region  130 , peripheral region  135 , and the edge of opening  147  of the EPS are shown. 
         [0030]      FIGS. 1B and 1C  illustrate, respectively, etched structures in the central and peripheral regions of a semiconductor substrate after RIE. In  FIG. 1B , TSV  140  has sidewalls etched at an angle A 1  relative to top surface  125  where A 1  is essentially 90°. In  FIG. 1C , TSV  145  has sidewalls etched at an angle A 2  relative to top surface  125  where A 2  is essentially greater than 90°. In one example, for a  200 mm wafer, A 2  is about 94°. 
         [0031]      FIG. 2  is a schematic side view of a semiconductor substrate electrostatically clamped to a substrate holder according to an embodiment of the present invention during RIE.  FIG. 2  is similar to  FIG. 1  except substrate holder  110  of  FIG. 1  has been replaced with substrate holder  150 . Substrate holder  150  includes a planar central region  155  and an annular ring shaped peripheral region  160  having a flat surface that tilts toward axis  112 . Peripheral region  160  of substrate holder  150  is tapered at an angle A 3  relative to central region  155  (tilts toward axis  112 ) from where peripheral region  160  abuts central region to  155  to edge  165  of substrate holder  150 . Top surface  170 A of substrate holder  155  is perpendicular to axis  112 . Thus top surface  170 A of substrate holder  155  is not uniformly planar. Top surface  170 A is concave and has the shape of an inverted truncated cone that is truncated parallel to the base of the cone. Substrate holder is symmetrical about axis  112 . In the example of  FIG. 2 , the thickness of substrate holder  150  at edge  165  is greater than the thickness of substrate holder  150  in central region  155 . However bottom surface  170 B may be tapered adjacent to edge  150  so the thickness of substrate holder is the same at any point on the substrate holder. When wafer  105  is electrostatically clamped to top surface  170 A, wafer  105  is bent to conform to the topology of top surface  170 A. Thus peripheral region  135  of wafer  105  is tilted toward the center of substrate holder  150  so ions  128  impinge essentially normal to top surface  125  of wafer  105 . Substrate holder  165  includes an electrically conductive metal layer  175  embedded within the substrate holder that is charged opposite to the charge on wafer  105  to generate the electrostatic clamping force. See the description of  FIG. 6  for further description of the layers comprising substrate holders according to embodiments of the present invention. In the example of  FIG. 2 , electrically conductive metal layer  175  is completely planar and extends parallel to top surface  170 A and continues into peripheral region  160 . 
         [0032]    In one example, A 3  is 3° to 5°. In one example, A 3  is 3.5° to 4°. The taper of peripheral region  160  is such that bottom surface at edge of wafer  105  is H 1  higher than the bottom surface of wafer  105  in central region  130  (see  FIG. 1 ) of wafer  105 . The taper of peripheral region  160  is such that the peripheral region  135  of wafer  105  has a width W 1 . In one example, for a 200 mm wafer, H 1  is 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm and W 1  is 4 mm to 5 mm. 
         [0033]      FIG. 2A  is a top view of the substrate holder of  FIG. 2  illustrating the peripheral region and central region. In  FIG. 2A , the relative positions of central region  155 , peripheral region  160 , and the edge of opening  147  of the EPS are shown. 
         [0034]      FIGS. 2B and 2C  illustrate, respectively, etched structures in the central and peripheral regions of the semiconductor substrate of  FIG. 2  after RIE. In  FIG. 2B , TSV  140  and in  FIG. 2C , TSV  145  both have sidewalls etched at angle Al relative to top surface  125  where A 1  is essentially 90°. 
         [0035]      FIG. 3  is a schematic side view of a semiconductor substrate electrostatically clamped to a substrate holder according to an embodiment of the present invention during RIE.  FIG. 3  is similar to  FIG. 2  except that substrate holder  150 A includes an electrically conductive metal layer  175 A embedded within the substrate holder. In the example of  FIG. 3 , electrically conductive metal layer  175 A is not completely planar. Electrically conductive layer  175 A is only planar under central region  155 A but extends parallel to top surface  170 A in both central region  155 A and annular ring shaped peripheral region  160 A having a flat surface. Electrically conductive metal layer  175 A follows the contour of top surface  170 A. Electrically conductive metal layer  175 A is concave and has the shape of an inverted truncated cone that is truncated parallel to the base of the cone. By electrically conductive metal layer  175 A following the contour of top surface  170 A, the electrostatic clamping force on peripheral regions  135  of wafer  105  is stronger than that applied by electrically conductive metal layer  175 A in  FIG. 2 .  FIG. 3A  is similar to  FIG. 2A . 
         [0036]      FIGS. 4A and 4B  are side views illustrating alternative profiles for the peripheral regions of substrate holders according to embodiments of the present invention. In  FIG. 4A , the straight tapered peripheral region  160  of substrate holder  150  of  FIG. 2  is replaced with an annular ring shaped region  160 B (having a curved surface) of substrate holder  150 B and still include planar electrically conductive metal layer  175 . Top surface  170 C of substrate holder  150 B is concave and has the shape of an inverted spherical segment cut by two parallel planes. In  FIG. 4B , the straight tapered peripheral region  160  of substrate holder  150  of  FIG. 2  is replaced with an annular ring shaped region  160 C (having a curved surface) of substrate holder  150 C and still include an electrically conductive metal layer  175 B that follows the contour of top surface  170 D. Top surface  170 D of substrate holder  150 C is concave and has the shape of an inverted spherical segment cut by two parallel planes. Likewise electrically conductive metal layer  175 B is concave and has the shape of an inverted spherical segment cut by two parallel planes. The dimensions H 1 , W 1  apply to  FIGS. 4A and 4B . 
         [0037]      FIG. 5  is a schematic side view of a semiconductor substrate electrostatically clamped to a substrate holder according to an embodiment of the present invention during RIE.  FIG. 5  is similar to  FIG. 2  except substrate holder  150  is replaced with substrate holder  180 . Substrate holder  180  has a uniformly curved top surface  185 A, is symmetrical about axis  112 , and has a flat bottom surface  185 B and an edge  190 . Edge  190  is raised a distance H 2  above the center of substrate holder  180 . Top surface  185 A is concave and has the shape of a spherical cap. A spherical cap is that portion of sphere cut off by a plane. Top surface  185 A has a radius of curvature R. A radius of curvature is the radius of a circular arc which best approximates a curve at the point it is measured. A circle of radius R has a radius of curvature R which is exact for a spherical cap. In  FIG. 5 , the radius of curvature is measured from a point on axis  112 . Substrate holder  180  includes an electrically conductive metal layer  195 . All points on the surface electrically conductive metal layer  195  are a distance D 2  from top surface  185 A. Electrically conductive metal layer  195  concave and has the shape of a spherical cap and a radius of curvature of R+D 2  where D 2  is the depth of electrically conductive metal layer  195  below top surface  185 A of substrate holder  180 . For H 2  equal to 0.4 mm, R is approximately 17, 500 mm. In one example, R is 15,000 mm to 20,000 mm. In one example, H 2  is in the order 2 mm to 4 mm. In an alternative, bottom surface  185 B may also be curved to match the curve of top surface  185 A. 
         [0038]      FIG. 5A  is a top view of the substrate holder of  FIG. 5 .  FIG. 5A  illustrates the position of circular opening  147  of an EPS (see description of  FIG. 8  infra) relative to top surface  185 A of substrate holder  180 . 
         [0039]      FIG. 6  is a cross-section illustrating the layers comprising an exemplary substrate holder according to embodiments of the present invention. The substrate holders  150  of  FIG. 2, 150A  of  FIG. 3, 150B  of  FIG. 4A, 150C  of  FIG. 4B and 180  of FIG. 5  may comprise the layers illustrated in  FIG. 6 . In  FIG. 6 , substrate holder  200  includes a support substrate  205  formed from aluminum or aluminum alloy. In one example, support substrate is 15 mm to 20 mm thick with 18 mm preferred. Formed on the top surface of support substrate  205  is an anodized layer  210 . Anodized layer  210  may be a standard anodized layer or a hard anodized layer. In one example, anodized layer  210  is 5 nm to 15 nm thick. Formed on the top surface of anodized layer  210  is a first adhesive layer  215 . In one example, first adhesive layer  215  is a thermo setting adhesive. In one example, first adhesive layer  215  is Scotchbond™ Universal DCA. Adhesive/Dual Cure Activator. In one example, first adhesive layer  215  has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm with 1 mm preferred. Formed on the top surface of first adhesive layer  215  is a first polymer layer  220 . In one example, first polymer layer  220  is polyimide. In one example, first polymer layer  220  is 1 mm to 3 mm thick with 2 mm preferred. Formed on the top surface of first polymer layer  220  is an electrically conductive layer  225 . Electrically conductive layer  225  is representative of layer as layer  175  (see  FIG. 2 ), layer  170 A (see  FIG. 3 ), layer  175 B (see  FIG. 4B ) and layer  195  (see  FIG. 5 ). Electrically conductive layer  225  is not and cannot be the topmost layer. In one example, electrically conductive layer  225  is electroplated copper. In one example, electrically conductive layer  225  is copper or copper alloy foil. In one example, electrically conductive layer  225  is 2.5 μm to 7.5 μm thick with 5 μm preferred. Formed on the top surface of electrically conductive layer  225  is a second adhesive layer  230 . In one example, second adhesive layer  230  is a thermo setting adhesive. In one example, second adhesive layer  230  is Scotchbond™ Universal DCA. Adhesive/Dual Cure Activator. In one example, second adhesive layer  230  has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm with 1 mm preferred. Formed on the top surface of second adhesive layer  230  is second polymer layer  235 . In one example, second polymer layer  235  is polyimide. In one example, second polymer layer  235  is a polyaryletherketone. In one example, second polymer layer  235  is polyether ether ketone. In one example, second polymer layer is 1 mm to 3 mm thick with 2 mm preferred. In use the bottom surface of wafers to be etched contact the top surface of second polymer  235  and conform to the contour of the top surface of layer  235 . 
         [0040]    In one example, support substrate  205  may be machined or otherwise formed to have a concave surface to which subsequent layers are applied and conform to generate the topology of top surface 170 A (see  FIG. 2 ), top surface  170 C (see  FIG. 4A ), top surface  170 D (see  FIG. 4B ) and top surface  185 A (see FIG. 5 ). In one example, support substrate is flat and one or more of layers  210 ,  215 ,  220 ,  225 ,  230  and  235  are formed with a concave surface to generate the topology of top surface  170 A (see  FIG. 2 ), top surface  170 C (see  FIG. 4A ), top surface  170 D (see  FIG. 4B ) and top surface  185 A (see FIG. 5 ). In one example, only second polymer layer  235  is formed with a concave surface to generate the topology of top surface 170 A (see  FIG. 2 ), top surface  170 C (see  FIG. 4A ), top surface  170 D (see  FIG. 4B ) and top surface  185 A (see FIG. 5 ), the other layers being flat. 
         [0041]    Substrate holders  150  (see  FIG. 2 ),  150 A (see  FIG. 3 ),  150 B (see  FIG. 4A ),  150 C (see  FIG. 4B ) and  180  (see  FIG. 5 ) according to the embodiments of the present invention are electrostatic chucks of RIE tools. They clamp the wafer to the chuck electrostatically, not by the use of vacuum. Vacuum chucks are not effective because of the low pressure inside of the RIE plasma chambers (see description of  FIG. 8  infra). Electrostatic chucks utilize an electrically conductive layer (i.e., layer  225  of  FIG. 6 ) charged positively and separated from the wafer which electrically charged negatively the plasma by an insulator (i.e., second polymer layer  235  of  FIG. 6 ). The wafer, second polymer layer  230  and electrically conductive layer  225  form a capacitor that generates the electrostatic force. Electrostatic chucks of RIE tools are cooled by a backside gas, in one example, helium. 
         [0042]      FIG. 7  is a top view of illustrating cooling channels and substrate lifters of an exemplary substrate holder according to embodiments of the present invention. In  FIG. 7 , substrate holder  200  has a top surface  240  (which is the top surface of second polymer layer  235  of  FIG. 6 ). Substrate holder  200  includes cooling channels  245  open to top surface  240  and connected to a central gas inlet  250  that allow cooling gas to contact the backside of wafers. Substrate holder  200  also includes openings  255  for lifter pins (not shown) for lifting wafers off surface  240  during load/unload operations. In one example, gas inlet  150  goes extends completely through all layers of substrate holder  200  but cooling channels  245  extend continuously only from the top surface  240  through one or more of layers  235 ,  230 ,  225 ,  220 ,  215  and  210  (see  FIG. 6 ). 
         [0043]    Since substrate holder  200  is exemplary, one or more of the layers illustrated may not be present, however electrically conductive layer  225  must be present is not and cannot be the topmost layer of the stack of layers. There must be at least one electrically insulating layer between the top surface of the stack of layers and the top surface of electrically conductive layer and at least one electrically insulating layer between the bottom of electrically conductive layer  225  and any supporting substrate that electrically conductive. 
         [0044]      FIG. 8  is a schematic cross-section of an exemplary RIE tool in which substrate holders according to embodiments of the present invention may be used. In  FIG. 8 , a RIE tool comprises a plasma chamber  305 , a vacuum pumping port/exhaust  310 , a wafer loading port  315 , a substrate holder  320  for holding a wafer  325 , a gas inlet  330 , an EPS  335 , a moveable carrier  340  connected to a first bellows  345 , a piston  350  connected to carrier  340  by a second bellows  355  for activating lifter pins (not shown) in substrate carrier  320  and a coolant gas (i.e., He) inlet  360  in piston  350 . Substrate holder  320  is representative of substrate holders  150  of  FIG. 2, 150A  of  FIG. 3, 150B  of  FIG. 4A, 150C  of  FIG. 4B and 180  of FIG. 5 . EPS  335  has opening  147  discussed supra. RF coils  365  are connected to a radio frequency (RF) generator 370  through an RF matching unit  375  which generates a plasma  380  containing positively and negatively charged ions ( FIG. 8  illustrates positive ions X+ being extracted) from reactive gases supplied through gas inlet  330  which ions are accelerated to wafer  325 . In one example, for etching silicon, the reactive gas is SF 6 . In one example, for etching silicon, the reactive gas is a mixture of SF 6  and O 2 . A DC bias unit  385  provides is coupled to the electrically conductive layer  225  (see  FIG. 6 ). 
         [0045]    In operation, a wafer is loaded onto the substrate holder and electrostatically clamped to the substrate holder by applying a charge to the conductive layer in the chuck. The wafer bends to conform to the topology of the surface of the substrate holder. The cooling gas is turned on and the plasma chamber pumped down. The reactive gas is turned on and a plasma is struck (i.e., RF turned on). Reactive ions are accelerated toward the surface of the wafer. When etch is complete, the RF is turned off, extinguishing the plasma, the reactive gas turned off, the cooling gas is turned off and the byproducts of the etch are exhausted through the vacuum pump. The electrostatic clamping is turned off, the wafer resumes its normal flat shape and the wafer removed from the chamber. 
         [0046]    Thus the embodiments of the present invention provide electrostatic substrate holders for RIE that are not uniformly planar across the entire top surface of the substrate holder and are configured to clamp a wafer so as to bend the periphery of the wafer toward its center (the wafer is slightly concave facing the flux of reactive ions) so reactive ions impinge the peripheral region of the top surface of the wafer substantially perpendicular (i.e., at a normal incidence angle) across the entire surface of the substrate not covered by any EPS that may be present. The embodiments of the present invention allow etching of non-tilted TSVs closer to the edge of the wafer than currently possible and are compatible with edge protection rings that prevent etching of the bevel at the very edge of the wafer.
