[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will be a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present application in combination with the embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] The following will be a detailed description of the technical solutions disclosed by various embodiments of the present application in combination with the drawings.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the present embodiment provides an emissivity measuring device for measuring the emissivity of a measured piece 800, which includes a first reflector 300, a second reflector 400, a reflector support 500, a first infrared radiation energy meter 600, a second infrared radiation energy meter 700, and a computing element. Optionally, the emissivity measuring device can be applied to a semiconductor processing equipment, in which case the emissivity measuring device can be installed in a process chamber 100 of the semiconductor processing equipment for measuring the emissivity of a wafer 810 in the process chamber 100.

[0033] It should be noted that the wafer 810 is a specific measured structure of the measured piece 800, and in the case where the emissivity measuring device is applied to a semiconductor processing equipment, the measured piece 800 can be the wafer 810. Of course, in the case where the emissivity measuring device is applied to other equipment, the measured piece 800 can be other measured structures.

[0034] The reflector support 500 is used to support the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400. The first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are structures with known reflectivity, and both the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are opposite to the measured piece 800, and both the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are arranged above the measured piece 800, or both the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are arranged below the measured piece 800.

[0035] For the convenience of installation, both the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 can be arranged below the measured piece 800. In the case where both the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are arranged below the measured piece 800 and the emissivity measuring device is applied to a semiconductor processing equipment, the reflector support 500 can be directly connected to the bottom of the process chamber 100 where the emissivity measuring device is located.

[0036] The first infrared radiation energy meter 600 is used to measure the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and reflected by the first reflector 300, and the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 is used to measure the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and reflected by the second reflector 400. That is, the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 can receive the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 without reflection and the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and reflected by the first reflector 300, and the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can receive the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 without reflection and the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and reflected by the second reflector 400. Moreover, both the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 are connected to the computing element, and the computing element is used to calculate the emissivity of the measured piece 800 according to the measurement values of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the second infrared radiation energy meter 700.

[0037] The computing element can be a separate structure or a part of the control device. For example, in the case that the emissivity measuring device is applied to a semiconductor processing equipment, the computing element can be a part of the control device of the semiconductor processing equipment, or the computing element can be a part of the temperature controller of the semiconductor processing equipment.

[0038] The emissivity measuring device of the embodiment of the present application can measure the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and reflected by the first reflecting element 300 in real time through the first infrared radiation energy meter 600, can measure the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and the energy emitted by the measured piece 800 and reflected by the second reflecting element 400 in real time through the second infrared radiation energy meter 700, and can calculate the emissivity of the measured piece 800 in real time through the computing element, so as to measure the temperature of the measured piece 800 in real time. The emissivity measuring device can measure the emissivity of the measured piece 800 in real time, and can accurately obtain the emissivity of the measured piece 800 under the current condition regardless of the change of the measured piece 800 itself and the environment thereof, so that the device can improve the accuracy of the emissivity measurement.

[0039] Optionally, the reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The reflectivity of the measured piece 800 is r, the reflectivity of the first reflecting element 300 is r1, the reflectivity of the second reflecting element 400 is r2, the emissivity is ε, the infrared radiation energy is W, the energy measured by the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 is W1, and W1 satisfies the following relationship:

[0040]

[0041] The energy measured by the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 is W2, and W2 satisfies the following relationship:

[0042]

[0043] Therefore, the emissivity of the measured piece 800 can be obtained as The emissivity of the measured piece 800 can be calculated according to the formula.

[0044] In the embodiment, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 is opposite to the measured member 800 through the first reflector 300, and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 is opposite to the measured member 800 through the second reflector 400, so that the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 can more comprehensively receive the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and reflected by the first reflector 300, and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can more comprehensively receive the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and reflected by the second reflector 400.

[0045] Optionally, the distance from the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 to the center of the measured member 800 is equal to the distance from the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 to the center of the measured member 800. In this way, the distance from the position of the measured member 800 corresponding to the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 to the center of the measured member 800 is equal to the distance from the position of the measured member 800 corresponding to the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 to the center of the measured member 800, the environment of the measured member 800 at the positions is similar, and the surface state of the measured member 800 at the positions is similar, so that the measurement and calculation are more accurate.

[0046] In the optional embodiment, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction of the measured member 800. On the basis of ensuring that the distance from the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 to the center of the measured member 800 is equal to the distance from the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 to the center of the measured member 800, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction of the measured member 800, which is more convenient for positioning and installation of the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700, and the environment of the measured member 800 at the positions is more similar, so that the surface state of the measured member 800 at the positions is more similar, and the measurement and calculation are more accurate.

[0047] The first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 can be independently installed. Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first reflector 300 is supported by the reflector support 500, and the second reflector 400 is embedded in the first reflector 300. The reflecting surface of the first reflector 300 and the reflecting surface of the second reflector 400 are in the same horizontal plane. The probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 passes through the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 in sequence and is opposite to the measured member 800. In this arrangement, the second reflector 400 can be embedded in the first reflector 300 first, then the first reflector 300 is installed to the reflector support 500, and then the reflector support 500 is installed to the installation base, so that the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are installed to the process chamber 100. Therefore, this arrangement is more convenient for assembly, and the relative positions of the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are more easily ensured.

[0048] In the case that the first reflector 300 is supported by the reflector support 500 and the second reflector 400 is embedded in the first reflector 300, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 passes through the first reflector 300 and is opposite to the measured member 800. The probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 passes through the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 in sequence and is opposite to the measured member 800.

[0049] In the case that the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 are located below the measured member 800, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 can pass through the first reflector 300 from bottom to top and be opposite to the measured member 800. The probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 passes through the first reflector 300 and the second reflector 400 in sequence from bottom to top and is opposite to the measured member 800. Therefore, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 can more comprehensively receive the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and reflected by the first reflector 300. At the same time, the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can more comprehensively receive the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and the energy emitted by the measured member 800 and reflected by the second reflector 400.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the emissivity of the second reflector 400 is 1. Alternatively, the second reflector 400 is a black body. For an opaque object, the emissivity + reflectivity = 1. If the emissivity of the second reflector 400 is 1, the reflectivity of the second reflector 400 is 0, and the energy reaching the second reflector 400 is fully absorbed. The energy received by the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 is the energy emitted by the measured member 800, and there is no energy reflected by the second reflector 400. At this time, the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can select an infrared radiation energy meter with a smaller viewing angle (for reference Figure 2), further ensuring that the energy received by the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 is only the energy emitted by the measured piece 800, avoiding receiving the reflected energy in the peripheral environment.

[0051] Optionally, the second reflecting member 400 is a non-transparent silicon-based reflecting plate. Of course, the second reflecting member 400 can also be a reflecting member made of metal or other materials.

[0052] The embodiment of the present application also provides a semiconductor processing equipment, which comprises a process chamber 100 and an emissivity measurement device, the emissivity measurement device is the above-mentioned emissivity measurement device, the process chamber 100 is used for processing a wafer 810, the process chamber 100 comprises a susceptor assembly 200, the susceptor assembly 200 is used for carrying the wafer 810, and the emissivity measurement device is used for measuring the emissivity of the wafer 810. The first reflecting member 300, the second reflecting member 400, the reflecting member support 500, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 are all arranged in the process chamber 100. Optionally, the first reflecting member 300, the second reflecting member 400, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 are all arranged opposite to the back surface of the wafer 810, so as to measure the emissivity of the wafer 810 without affecting the processing operation on the front surface of the wafer 810.

[0053] The process chamber 100 is a main component of the semiconductor processing equipment, can provide a mounting basis for other structural members of the semiconductor processing equipment, and processes the wafer 810 in the process chamber 100.

[0054] Optionally, the susceptor assembly 200 comprises a susceptor 210 and a susceptor support assembly 220, wherein the susceptor 210 is used for carrying the wafer 810, and the susceptor support assembly 220 is used for supporting the susceptor 210, the susceptor support assembly 220 comprises a stator 221 and a rotor 222, the rotor 222 is arranged in the process chamber 100 and connected with the susceptor 210, the stator 221 is arranged outside the process chamber 100, and the stator 221 and the rotor 222 are coupled through magnetism to drive the susceptor 210 to rotate or lift, so as to drive the wafer 810 to rotate or lift. In this embodiment, the stator 221 and the rotor 222 can transmit force without contact, so that a through hole is not needed to be formed on the process chamber 100 for the transmission member to pass through, and therefore the sealing performance of the process chamber 100 is improved.

[0055] In order to facilitate installation, the reflecting member support 500 can be arranged in the process chamber 100, for example, the reflecting member support 500 can be fixedly installed on the process chamber 100, so as to support the first reflecting member 300 and the second reflecting member 400 on the process chamber 100, and the first reflecting member 300 and the second reflecting member 400 have a certain distance from the wafer 810.

[0056] For the convenience of installation, the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can be arranged in the process chamber 100, for example, the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can be fixedly installed on the process chamber 100, the probe of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the probe of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 both extend into the process chamber 100, so as to realize the measurement of the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and reflected by the first reflecting member 300, and the measurement of the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and reflected by the second reflecting member 400.

[0057] The semiconductor processing equipment adopting the embodiment of the present application can realize real-time measurement of the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and reflected by the first reflecting member 300 by the first infrared radiation energy meter 600, real-time measurement of the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and the energy emitted by the wafer 810 and reflected by the second reflecting member 400 by the second infrared radiation energy meter 700, and real-time calculation of the emissivity of the wafer 810 by the computing element, so as to realize real-time measurement of the temperature of the wafer 810. The emissivity measurement device can realize real-time measurement of the emissivity of the wafer 810, and can accurately obtain the emissivity of the wafer 810 under the current condition regardless of the change of the wafer 810 itself and the environment thereof, so as to improve the accuracy of the emissivity measurement and further improve the accuracy of the control of the processing process of the wafer 810.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application further provides an emissivity measurement method, which applies the above-described emissivity measurement device. The emissivity measurement method in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0059] S110, obtaining the measurement value of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600;

[0060] S120, obtaining the measurement value of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700;

[0061] S130, calculating the emissivity of the measured member 800 according to the measurement value of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the measurement value of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700.

[0062] In the emissivity measurement method in the embodiment of the present application, the emissivity of the measured member 800 can be calculated according to the formula ; wherein, ε is the emissivity of the measured member 800, W1 is the measurement value of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600, W2 is the measurement value of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700, r1 is the reflectivity of the first reflecting member 300, and r2 is the reflectivity of the second reflecting member 400.

[0063] Wherein, the reflectivity r1 of the first reflector 300 and the reflectivity r2 of the second reflector 400 are known, and W1 and W2 can be measured, thus, the emissivity of the measured object 800 can be calculated according to the formula The emissivity of the measured object 800 is calculated. Moreover, the energy W1 measured by the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the energy W2 measured by the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can be measured in real time, thus, the real-time emissivity of the measured object 800 can be calculated.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the emissivity of the second reflector 400 can be 1, and for a non-transparent object, the emissivity + reflectivity = 1. If the emissivity of the second reflector 400 is 1, the reflectivity r2 of the second reflector 400 is 0, thus, the emissivity of the measured object 800 can be calculated according to the formula

[0065] Thus, when calculating the emissivity of the measured object 800, the formula The emissivity of the measured object 800 is calculated.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, when calculating the emissivity of the measured object 800, the dependence on the reflectivity of the second reflector 400 is reduced, and the calculation formula is more simple.

[0067] By using the emissivity measurement method of the present application, the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 can measure the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and reflected by the first reflector 300, the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can measure the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and reflected by the second reflector 400, and by obtaining the measurement value of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and obtaining the measurement value of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700, the emissivity of the measured object 800 can be calculated.

[0068] Moreover, the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 can measure the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and reflected by the first reflector 300 in real time, the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 can measure the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and the energy emitted by the measured object 800 and reflected by the second reflector 400 in real time, and by obtaining the measurement value of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 in real time and obtaining the measurement value of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700 in real time, the emissivity of the measured object 800 can be calculated in real time. No matter how the measured object 800 itself and the environment change, the emissivity of the measured object 800 under the current condition can be accurately obtained, thus, the accuracy of the emissivity measurement can be improved.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application also provides an infrared temperature measurement method, which applies the above-mentioned emissivity measurement method. The infrared temperature measurement method comprises the following steps:

[0070] S210, obtain the emissivity ε of the measured piece 800.

[0071] For example, the emissivity of the measured piece 800 can be calculated according to the measurement value of the first infrared radiation energy meter 600 and the measurement value of the second infrared radiation energy meter 700.

[0072] S220, obtain the infrared radiation energy W of the measured piece 800.

[0073] For example, the infrared radiation energy W can be measured by the infrared thermometer.

[0074] S230, obtain the real-time temperature according to the emissivity ε and the infrared radiation energy W.

[0075] In the method, the real-time temperature T of the measured piece 800, the emissivity ε of the measured piece 800, and the infrared radiation energy W of the measured piece 800 have a functional relationship, that is, T=f(ε,W).
