Abstract

The invention provides an impedance matching device, which comprises: a voltage current sensor for monitoring impedance state in plasma reaction chamber and outputting plasma reaction chamber impedance state representation signal to control system; a control system for generating control signal according to before determined matching control method, driving actuating mechanism to adjust radio frequency power supply load impedance, and realizing the matching of radio frequency power supply output impedance and radio frequency power supply load impedance; acquiring the plasma reaction chamber impedance state representation signal from the voltage current sensor, and calculating plasma reaction chamber impedance value according to the plasma reaction chamber impedance state representation signal; and a actuating mechanism for receiving control signal of control system, and adjusting the radio frequency power supply load impedance according to the control signal. By adopting the above technical scheme, the invention realizes accurate monitoring to radio frequency power supply load impedance state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to microelectronic technology, in particular to an impedance matching device capable of accurately monitoring the load state. Background technique [0002] In a typical radio frequency plasma generator for manufacturing semiconductor devices, a radio frequency power supply with a constant output impedance (usually 50Ω) generates radio frequency waves with a fixed frequency (usually 13.56MHz) to provide radio frequency power to the plasma reaction chamber to The gas in the plasma reaction chamber is excited into plasma for etching or other processes. Generally speaking, the impedance of the nonlinear load of the plasma reaction chamber is not equal to the constant output impedance of the RF power supply, so there is a serious impedance mismatch between the RF power supply and the plasma reaction chamber, resulting in a large impedance on the RF transmission line. The reflected power of the RF power supply cannot be completely deli...
