Abstract

The invention provides an impedance matcher, which is arranged between a radio frequency generator and an inductive coupling coil and comprises an input end, an impedance detection unit, a current detection unit, a control unit, an adjusting unit and at least tow output ends, wherein the adjusting unit comprises a variable impedance element and a corresponding actuating mechanism, and the control unit indicates the actuating mechanism to adjust the impedance value of the variable impedance element according to data detected by the impedance detection unit and the current detection unit, can adjust the current corresponding to each output end and realize the matching between the output impedance of the radio frequency generator and the input impedance of the impedance matcher. In addition, the invention further provides plasma processing equipment applying the impedance matcher. The impedance matcher and the plasma processing equipment, provided by the invention, can be used for adjusting the radio frequency current flowing through the inductive coupling coil at the same time of effectively carrying out impedance matching so as to improve the distribution uniformity of plasma density in a process chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of plasma technology, in particular to an impedance matcher and plasma processing equipment using the impedance matcher. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, large-scale integrated circuits are used in various fields of production and life. In recent years, the chip size has increased from the original 200mm to 300mm. At the same time, users have higher and higher requirements for the integration of integrated circuits. Therefore, relevant production enterprises must continuously improve their own production equipment in order to adapt to new market demands. [0003] At present, plasma processing equipment is mostly used for processing semiconductor devices. When processing large substrates and highly integrated devices, whether plasma processing equipment can provide high-density plasma and whether it can process wafers uniformly is one of the key technical indicator...
