Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for removing particles on the surface of an electrostatic chuck of etching equipment, belongs to the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and solves the problems that in existing semiconductor production equipment in the prior art, microparticles are attached to the surface of the electrostatic chuck in the etching process, so that the product yield is lowered, preventive overhaul is increased, downtime is prolonged, and production cost is reduced. And the production efficiency is reduced. The invention discloses a device for removing particles on the surface of an electrostatic chuck of etching equipment. The device comprises a gas supply device, an adjusting valve, a main gas supply pipe, branch gas supply pipes and nozzles. The branch air supply pipes are arranged along the inner wall of the etching cavity and are connected with the main air supply pipe and the nozzles; the nozzles are higher than the upper surface of the electrostatic chuck; the adjusting valve is used for adjusting the gas flow; the gas supply device supplies a purge gas. According to the device and the method, the particles on the surface of the electrostatic chuck of the etching equipment in semiconductor manufacturing equipment are automatically and effectively removed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, in particular to a device and method for removing particles on the surface of an electrostatic chuck of etching equipment. Background technique [0002] During the production process of the semiconductor process, some tiny particulate matter often falls on the surface of the wafer. These particulate matter have different shapes, and the characteristic size is generally between micron level and tens of nanometers, and are collectively referred to as microparticles (particle) in the present invention. In the production and manufacture of integrated circuit chips, microparticles are very harmful, so there are strict regulations on the size and quantity of microparticles on each wafer. With the shrinking of the feature size of the device on the integrated circuit chip and the increasing of the integration of the device, the quality control standard is getting higher and higher, t...
