Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical fiber temperature sensor, and particularly to an optical fiber grating wafer temperature sensor for measuring the two-dimensional temperature distribution in a process furnace during semiconductor manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] During the semiconductor processing and manufacturing process, many process steps, including etching, ion implantation, doping, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, etc., require strict temperature measurement and control. The wafer temperature sensor is composed of multiple temperature sensors fixed at different positions on the wafer, which can measure the temperature distribution on the wafer plane, and then measure the two-dimensional temperature distribution in the process furnace. It is a device used for real-time and accurate temperature measurement during chip processing and manufacturing, and is an important tool in semiconductor equipment manufacturing and semiconductor production processes.

[0003] Most of the existing wafer temperature sensors are made of electronic temperature sensing devices such as thermocouples and thermal resistors. However, this kind of wafer temperature sensor composed of electronic devices has a limited service life and needs to be replaced or calibrated regularly. Each electronic temperature sensing device requires an independent metal wire to lead out. In the case of a large number of temperature measurement points, there are also many leads of the sensor, the manufacturing process is cumbersome, and it will also affect the accuracy of temperature measurement. In addition, when the wafer temperature sensor is in use, the wafer containing the temperature sensing device and part of the wires are in the process furnace. If the electronic temperature sensing device or the metal wire is not well sealed, the metal will volatilize in the high-temperature environment, affecting the quality of other semiconductor devices in the process furnace.

[0010] Preferably, the first optical fiber and / or the second optical fiber is / are one optical fiber or multiple optical fibers, and the temperature-sensing fiber grating or the strain compensation fiber grating is / are connected in series on one optical fiber or are respectively connected in series on multiple optical fibers.

[0011] Preferably, the temperature-sensing fiber grating includes at least one fiber grating; the strain compensation fiber grating includes at least one fiber grating. Preferably, the operating wavelengths of the fiber gratings on each optical fiber of the substrate wafer are different.

[0012] Preferably, the temperature-sensing fiber gratings connected in series on the first optical fiber are arranged in concentric circles on the upper surface of the substrate wafer. Preferably, the concentric circles are equidistantly arranged from each other and / or the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on each concentric circle are equidistantly arranged.

[0013] Preferably, the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on each concentric circle are equidistantly arranged, and the number of temperature-sensing fiber gratings on each concentric circle is the same, or the number of temperature-sensing fiber gratings arranged on the concentric circle closer to the edge of the substrate wafer is more than the number of temperature-sensing fiber gratings on the concentric circle closer to the center of the substrate wafer.

[0014] Preferably, the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on each concentric circle are equidistantly arranged, and the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on two adjacent concentric circles are arranged in alignment or are staggered by an angle.

[0015] Preferably, the temperature-sensing fiber gratings connected in series on the first optical fiber are arranged in equidistant parallel in the horizontal direction on the surface of the substrate wafer, and the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on each first optical fiber are equidistantly arranged.

[0016] Preferably, the positions of the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on two adjacent first optical fibers among the first optical fibers arranged in parallel are in alignment or are staggered by a distance.

[0017] Preferably, the temperature-sensing fiber gratings are arranged on several first optical fibers that are arranged in a radial pattern with equal angles from one point or several adjacent points on the edge of the substrate wafer surface to other points on the edge, and the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on each first optical fiber are equidistantly arranged along the axial direction.

[0018] Preferably, one or more first optical fibers with temperature-sensitive fiber gratings connected in series at equal angles and passing through the center of the circle are arranged on the surface of the substrate wafer, and the temperature-sensitive fiber gratings on each first optical fiber are arranged at equal intervals.

[0019] Preferably, the positions of the temperature-sensitive fiber gratings on two adjacent first optical fibers are arranged in alignment or offset by a certain distance.

[0020] Preferably, the temperature-sensitive fiber gratings are connected in series at equal intervals on the first optical fiber, and the first optical fiber with the temperature-sensitive fiber gratings connected in series is arranged on the surface of the substrate wafer in an Archimedean spiral.

[0021] Preferably, the temperature-sensitive fiber gratings are connected in series at equal intervals on the first optical fiber, and the first optical fiber with the temperature-sensitive fiber gratings connected in series is arranged on the surface of the substrate wafer in a Fermi spiral.

[0022] Preferably, the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber are doped quartz optical fibers, pure quartz optical fibers or sapphire optical fibers; the temperature-sensitive fiber grating is a fiber grating prepared on a doped quartz optical fiber by ultraviolet writing method, or a fiber grating prepared on a doped quartz optical fiber, pure quartz optical fiber or sapphire optical fiber by femtosecond writing method.

[0023] Preferably, the substrate wafer includes a silicon wafer, a silicon carbide wafer, a gallium nitride wafer or a gallium arsenide wafer.

[0024] Preferably, the bonding material includes epoxy glue, ceramic glue, silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride or gallium arsenide material.

[0025] In the present invention, a fiber grating is used as a temperature-sensing element, and an optical fiber is used as a transmission line. A plurality of fiber gratings are connected in series on the optical fiber, and these fiber gratings are arranged on the surface of the wafer to fabricate a fiber grating wafer temperature sensor with a long service life, fewer connecting wires and accurate temperature measurement.

[0026] The wavelength of the fiber grating changes linearly with temperature. When the temperature increases, the wavelength becomes larger; when the temperature decreases, the wavelength decreases. The real-time wavelength values of each temperature-sensitive fiber grating can be measured by an optical wavelength detector and converted into corresponding temperatures. According to the positions of each fiber grating arranged on the wafer, the real-time two-dimensional temperature distribution on the surface of the wafer can be obtained, so as to sense the real-time temperature distribution in the semiconductor process furnace where the fiber grating wafer temperature sensor is located.

[0027] The temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating fixed on the substrate wafer can be a fiber Bragg grating fabricated on doped silica fiber by ultraviolet laser writing technology or femtosecond laser writing technology. The temperature range measured by such a fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor can reach 400°C. The temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating fixed on the substrate wafer can also be a fiber Bragg grating fabricated on pure silica fiber by femtosecond laser writing technology. The temperature range measured by such a fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor can reach 1000°C. The temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating fixed on the substrate wafer can also be a fiber Bragg grating fabricated on sapphire fiber by femtosecond laser writing technology. The temperature range measured by such a fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor can reach 1800°C.

[0028] Since the fiber Bragg grating is an optical fiber device and its operating wavelength can remain stable for a long time, and the temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating is fixed on the substrate wafer with a bonding material, the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor provided here can work stably for a long time and does not require regular calibration like an electronic wafer temperature sensor. Generally, the bandwidth of the operating wavelength of a fiber Bragg grating is about 0.2 nm, and the operating bandwidth of an optical wavelength detector can reach 80 nm. If the wavelength interval of the fiber Bragg gratings connected in series in a fiber is set to 0.8 nm, then one fiber can connect 80 fiber Bragg gratings. That is to say, one transmission fiber in the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor can transmit the signals of 80 temperature-sensing fiber Bragg gratings. Compared with some electronic wafer temperature sensors that use 160 wires to connect 80 electronic temperature sensors, the number of transmission lines is much less. Thus, the manufacturing process of the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor is simplified a lot and it is more convenient to use.

[0029] In the entire fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor, the partial substrate wafer, temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating, transmission fiber, and bonding material located inside the semiconductor process furnace do not contain metal components, and will not have an adverse impact on the wafers and other semiconductor devices inside the furnace, ensuring safe use. Just because the part of the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor inside the process furnace does not contain metal, the measurement result will not be affected by electromagnetic interference. In addition, using the wavelength of the temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating as the signal for sensing temperature, the measurement result will not be affected by the fluctuation of the light source. Therefore, the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor provided by the present invention has the characteristic of accurate measurement.

[0030] In order to improve the temperature measurement accuracy, a strain compensation fiber Bragg grating can be arranged at the position on the lower surface of the substrate wafer corresponding to the upper surface of the substrate wafer where the temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating points are arranged, which can compensate for the influence of the bending strain generated by uneven stress on the wafer on the temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating, and obtain the change value of the fiber Bragg grating wavelength caused only by temperature change, so as to measure the temperature more accurately.

[0031] Compared with the wafer temperature sensors of the prior art, the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0032] 1. Long service life and no need for regular calibration.

[0033] Fiber Bragg grating is a device formed by periodically perturbing the refractive index of the fiber core axially through means such as laser processing. This refractive index perturbation can be stably preserved under certain conditions. Moreover, fiber Bragg gratings generally undergo annealing treatment after being fabricated by laser processing. After annealing, the performance parameters of the fiber Bragg grating are basically stable. Without external force, the operating wavelength can remain unchanged for a long time in a certain temperature environment. Therefore, the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor using fiber Bragg grating as the temperature sensing element and the wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating as the temperature sensing signal can be used for a long time without regular calibration.

[0034] 2. Fewer lead wires and simple fabrication.

[0035] The periods of the refractive index perturbations in the fiber core of fiber Bragg gratings are different, and the operating wavelengths of the fiber Bragg gratings are also different. In addition, fiber Bragg gratings are compatible with optical fibers, and the connection losses between fiber Bragg gratings and between fiber Bragg gratings and optical fibers are extremely small. Therefore, dozens to hundreds of fiber Bragg gratings with different operating wavelengths can be fabricated or connected in series in one optical fiber. During demodulation, each fiber Bragg grating with a different operating wavelength in one optical fiber can be distinguished according to the wavelength division multiplexing technology. Therefore, multiple fiber Bragg gratings with different operating wavelengths can be connected in series on one transmission optical fiber in the fiber Bragg grating wafer sensor to jointly sense temperature. Compared with the electronic wafer temperature sensor in which each temperature sensing device requires 1 to 2 transmission wires, this greatly reduces the amount of signal transmission lines for the temperature sensing sensor and makes the fabrication process simpler.

[0036] 3. Accurate measurement.

[0037] On the one hand, the transmission optical fiber of the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor is small in volume and light in weight. Even if there are many temperature measurement points on the wafer, a small number of transmission optical fibers can be used without affecting the temperature distribution on the wafer, while the large number of metal wires in the electronic wafer temperature sensor with a large number of temperature measurement points may affect the temperature measurement result. On the other hand, fiber Bragg gratings are passive devices and are not affected by electromagnetic interference. In addition, the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor of the present invention uses the wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating as the parameter for sensing temperature, and the measurement result will not be affected by the fluctuation of the light source. Therefore, the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor of the present invention has the characteristic of accurate measurement.

[0038] 4. It will not cause adverse effects on the semiconductor process furnace and the devices inside the furnace.

[0039] In the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor, the substrate wafer, bonding material, adhesive, temperature-sensing fiber Bragg grating, and transmission fiber, which are in the semiconductor process furnace during operation, can all be metal-free materials. Even in a high-temperature environment or when the device has poor sealing, there will be no volatilization of metal substances that will have an adverse impact on the semiconductor devices in the process furnace.

[0055] Refer to Figure 1 , the fiber Bragg grating wafer temperature sensor of the present invention includes:

[0056] A substrate wafer 1;

[0057] A first optical fiber 2, a part of which is provided with a plurality of temperature-sensitive fiber Bragg gratings 21, 22, and the temperature-sensitive fiber Bragg gratings 21, 22 are arranged on the upper surface of the substrate wafer 1 through a bonding material; another part of the first optical fiber 2 forms a transmission optical fiber 23 connected to an optical wavelength detector 100 and extends outside the substrate wafer 1.

[0058] Refer to Figure 2 , on the lower surface of the substrate wafer 1, strain compensation fiber Bragg gratings 31, 32 are arranged corresponding to the positions of the temperature-sensitive fiber Bragg gratings 21, 22 fixed on the upper surface of the substrate wafer 1. The strain compensation fiber Bragg gratings 31, 32 are arranged on a part of a second optical fiber 3, and another part of the second optical fiber 3 forms a transmission optical fiber 33 connected to the optical wavelength detector 100 and extends outside the substrate wafer 1.

[0059] Due to the relatively thin thickness of the substrate wafer, about 1 mm, and large diameter, with sizes of 100 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm, if the placement position of the wafer sensor is not very flat, a certain part of the substrate wafer may be unevenly stressed and generate a small bending strain. This strain will cause the wavelength of the temperature-sensing fiber grating to change, affecting the temperature measurement accuracy. To correct the influence of the strain on the temperature measurement accuracy, strain-compensating fiber gratings are arranged on the lower surface of the substrate wafer. The strain-compensating fiber gratings are connected to the optical wavelength detector through the strain-compensating transmission fiber, and the optical wavelength detector can simultaneously detect the wavelengths of the temperature-sensing fiber grating and the strain-compensating fiber grating. The planar coordinates of the position where the strain-compensating fiber gratings are arranged on the lower surface of the substrate wafer are the same as those of the position where the temperature-sensing fiber gratings are arranged on the upper surface of the substrate wafer, and the arrangement direction of the strain-compensating fiber gratings is the same as the arrangement direction of the temperature-sensing fiber gratings on the substrate wafer. When the temperature changes, the wavelengths of both the temperature-sensing fiber grating and the strain-compensating fiber grating change in the same direction; when a bending strain occurs, the wavelength directions of the temperature-sensing fiber grating and the strain-compensating fiber grating are opposite and the magnitudes are the same; therefore, adding the wavelengths of the temperature-sensing fiber grating and the corresponding strain-compensating fiber grating can eliminate the influence of the bending strain and obtain the wavelength change amount related only to the temperature change, improving the measurement accuracy of the sensor.

[0060] See Figure 3 , a top cover wafer 4 with the same shape as the substrate wafer 1 and the same material as the substrate wafer 1 is fixed on the temperature-sensing fiber gratings 21 and 22 on the upper surface of the substrate wafer 1. To better protect the temperature-sensing fiber gratings 21 and 22 on the substrate wafer 1, a top cover wafer 4 is further adhesively fixed on the temperature-sensing fiber gratings 21 and 22, so that the temperature-sensing fiber gratings are protected from damage by external objects and the entire sensor is more reliable.

[0061] See Figure 4 , a bottom cover wafer 5 with the same shape as the substrate wafer 1 and the same material as the substrate wafer 1 is fixed on the strain-compensating fiber gratings 31 and 32 on the lower surface of the substrate wafer 1, which can prevent damage to the fiber gratings by external objects and improve the reliability and service life of the wafer temperature sensor.
