Problems solved by technology

Each turn-on, turn-off or high-power, low-power switching will cause rapid changes in the impedance of the reaction chamber, and the time of each change is in milliseconds or even microseconds. Under this requirement, the traditional matching circuit is used due to the reaction time. Far from reaching the millisecond level, it is difficult to meet the needs of pulsed plasma processing

Abstract

The invention discloses a plasma radio frequency adjustment method, the adjustment method is carried out by a radio frequency power generator, the radio frequency power generator includes an automatic frequency modulation device, the radio frequency power generator outputs a pulse radio frequency periodic signal, a The controller sets several continuous radio frequency adjustment intervals, each radio frequency adjustment interval includes at least one pulsed radio frequency cycle, and the automatic frequency adjustment device performs at least one automatic frequency adjustment in each radio frequency adjustment interval, and each radio frequency adjustment interval includes A start frequency and an end frequency, the start frequency of each radio frequency adjustment interval is the end frequency of the previous radio frequency adjustment interval, and the start frequency of the first radio frequency adjustment interval is a preset frequency. The method of the present invention can quickly adjust the frequency, and can quickly find the radio frequency power corresponding to the minimum reflected power for the pulsed radio frequency period.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a plasma radio frequency adjustment method and a plasma processing device, and more particularly relates to the technical field of matching regulation for supplying pulsed radio frequency power to a plasma processing device. Background technique [0002] In existing semiconductor processing, plasma processing equipment is widely used to process semiconductor substrates (wafers) to obtain microscopic-sized semiconductor devices and conductor connections. Plasma equipment commonly has capacitively coupled (CCP) and inductively coupled (ICP) reaction chambers. These devices generally have two radio frequency power supplies, one of which is used to ionize the reaction gas passing into the reaction chamber to generate plasma. Another RF power source is used to control the ion energy incident on the substrate surface. [0003] At present, many plasma processing processes need to use pulsed plasma processing technology, that ...
