DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In the following description, a large number of specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described.

[0019] The applicant has found that the wired wafer temperature measurement device embeds or attaches the temperature sensor to the surface of the wafer and leads the signal out through the wire. This device is simple to make, but there are many problems, such as introducing pollution, the lead wire destroying the temperature field on the wafer surface, and the lead wire hindering the temperature measurement.

[0020] To this end, the present invention provides a wireless temperature measurement device suitable for semiconductor vacuum chambers. Figure 1 to Figure 2 The device includes an upper silicon wafer 1 and a lower silicon wafer 2, a wireless temperature measuring component is arranged between the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 2, and the wireless temperature measuring component is composed of a circuit 3, a temperature measuring device 4, a battery 6 and a main control 7. The circuit 3 is arranged between the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 2, and the temperature measuring device 4, the battery 6 and the main control 7 are all electrically connected to the circuit 3. The upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 2 are bonded by a high-temperature adhesive 8; in specific implementation, the temperature inside the wafer is measured by the temperature measuring device 4, and the obtained temperature data is uploaded to the cloud by the main control 7. The battery 6 is the power supply of the temperature measuring device 4 and the main control 7. The present invention is a wireless temperature measuring device, which can eliminate part of the pollution caused by wired temperature measurement when used, and avoids opening a through hole in the processing chamber, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty and achieving a good temperature measurement effect.

[0021] Preferably, the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 2 are both circular, and an RF coil 5 is arranged at the center of the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 2. The circuit 3 is arranged in multiple numbers, and the multiple circuits 3 are arranged in a circular array around the RF coil 5, and the angles between the adjacent circuits 3 are equal; in specific implementation, the multiple circuits 3 are interconnected through the RF coil 5, and the arrangement of the circuits 3 in a circular array around the RF coil 5 can make the temperature measuring device 4 evenly distributed inside the wafer.

[0022] Preferably, when the number of the circuits 3 is too small, the temperature measuring device 4 cannot be evenly distributed inside the wafer. When the number of the circuits 3 is too large, more batteries 6 are required for power supply, and it is difficult to form a circular array of multiple circuits 3 equidistant around the RF coil 5. Therefore, the best effect is achieved when the number of the circuits 3 is between 10 and 20.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to make the battery 6 and the main controller 7 more firmly fixed, the battery 6 and the main controller 7 are both welded on the lower silicon wafer 2 by welding agent 11 .

[0024] Furthermore, in order to further securely fix the battery 6 and the main control 7, grooves 13 for accommodating the battery 6 and the main control 7 are provided on the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 2. This arrangement can also reduce the overall thickness of the wafer.

[0025] Furthermore, an insulating film 9 is wrapped around the outside of the wireless temperature measurement component.

[0026] Preferably, the outer side of the wireless temperature measurement component is wrapped with an anti-electromagnetic interference film 10.

[0027] Preferably, the anti-electromagnetic interference film 10 is specifically a polyimide film. The conductor will be interfered by the radio frequency electric field and plasma etching silicon wafers during the etching process in the production process. The general wired temperature measurement wafer will conduct electromagnetic radiation in the radio frequency electric field environment, which will affect human health and cannot read accurate temperature data. The anti-electromagnetic interference film 10 made of polyimide material can reduce the damage of electromagnetic radiation and plasma to silicon wafers.

[0028] Preferably, an anti-etching film 12 is disposed above the upper silicon wafer 1, and the anti-etching film 12 can reduce etching damage to the silicon wafer during the etching process.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments.
