[0052] In some embodiments, the carrying portion 11 is configured to be movable relative to the annealing portion 12 , and the relative position of the annealing portion 12 and different sub-zones is changed by adjusting the position of the carrying portion 11 .
[0053] In some embodiments, the annealing device further includes a temperature detection unit, and the temperature detection unit is configured to obtain and feed back to the main control unit 13 the temperature information of a to-be-scanned area of the to-be-processed substrate 2 .
[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number and assembly positions of the temperature detection parts can be flexibly adjusted according to process requirements.
[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The annealing device shown in the figure comprises a first temperature detection unit 141 and a second temperature detection unit 142 arranged on both sides of the annealing unit 12. The first temperature detection unit 141 and the second temperature detection unit 142 are arranged along a scanning path, and the scanning path is Figure 2 The first temperature detection unit 141 and the second temperature detection unit 142 are arranged to obtain and feed back the temperature information of the area to be scanned to the main control unit 13, so that the action intensity of the annealing medium 3 can be adjusted in time before the annealing medium 3 acts on the area to be scanned, thereby maximizing the process effect of the annealing treatment.
[0056] In some embodiments, the sampling and feedback frequency of the temperature detection unit is controlled to be higher than the scanning frequency of the annealing unit 12 , so as to provide temperature feedback to the main control unit 13 in a timely manner.
[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Taking the example of controlling the annealing medium 3 to act on the fifth sub-zone 221 and scanning along the A direction by the main control unit 13, the step S1 includes: in the process of controlling the annealing medium 3 to act on the first area 31 of the fifth sub-zone 221 by the main control unit 13, the temperature information of the second area 32 of the fifth sub-zone 221 is obtained by the first temperature detection unit 141 and fed back to the main control unit 13; the main control unit 13 determines whether to adjust the action intensity of the annealing medium 3 according to the temperature information of the second area 32 of the fifth sub-zone 221. In this process, the first area 31 is the scanning area of the fifth sub-zone 221, and the second area 32 is the area to be scanned of the fifth sub-zone 221.
[0058] In some embodiments, different regions of each sub-region are along the scanning path, i.e. Figure 2 The number of regions contained in each sub-area and the area of each region are adaptively adjusted according to the conditions of the annealing medium 3 acting on the region, so as to control the annealing medium 3 to perform sufficient and uniform annealing treatment on the acted region.
[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the main control unit 13 controls the annealing medium 3 to scan in the opposite direction of A and acts on the second area 32, the temperature information of the first area 31 is obtained through the second temperature detection unit 142 and fed back to the main control unit 13. In this process, the second area 32 is the scanning area of the fifth sub-area 221, and the first area 31 is the area to be scanned of the fifth sub-area 221.
[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 In the fifth sub-area 221 , the first region 31 is adjacent to the second region 32 .
[0061] In some embodiments, the temperature detection unit is a temperature sensor.
[0062] In some embodiments, the temperature detection unit is a non-contact temperature sensor, and the non-contact temperature sensor is configured to move synchronously with the annealing unit 12 .
[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The first temperature detection part 141 and the second temperature detection part 142 are respectively communicated and connected through the main control part 13 to control the first temperature detection part 141 and the second temperature detection part 142 to move synchronously with the annealing part 12.
[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first region 31 is located near the edge of the fifth sub-region 221, Figure 1 The annealing device shown includes an off-chip area 33 adjacent to the first area 31. Before executing the step S1, the main control unit 13 controls the annealing medium 3 to act on the off-chip area 33, and the first temperature detection unit 141 obtains and feeds back the temperature information of the first area 31 to the main control unit 13. In this process, the first area 31 is the area to be scanned, and the off-chip area 33 is the scanning area.
[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The main control unit 13 stores a reference temperature range. Taking the case where the main control unit 13 controls the annealing medium 3 to act on the fifth sub-area 221 and scans along the A direction as an example, in step S1, the main control unit 13 compares the reference temperature with the temperature information of the second area 32, and determines whether to adjust the intensity of the annealing medium according to the relationship between the temperature of the second area 32 and the maximum and minimum values in the reference temperature range.
[0066] In some embodiments, the main control unit 13 stores a plurality of reference temperature ranges, which correspond one-to-one to the process required temperature ranges of different areas to be scanned, so as to achieve separate regulation of different areas to be scanned.
[0067] In some embodiments, the main control unit 13 directly adjusts the power of the annealing medium 3 emitted by the annealing unit 12 to adjust its action intensity according to the comparison result between the information fed back by the temperature detection unit and the reference temperature range.
[0068] In some embodiments, the main control unit 13 adjusts the angle between the emission path of the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed according to the comparison result of the information fed back by the temperature detection unit and the reference temperature range to adjust the intensity of the annealing medium 3. Specifically, when the main control unit 13 determines that the temperature fed back by the temperature detection unit exceeds the maximum value of the reference temperature range, the position of the annealing unit 12 and the power of the emitted annealing medium 3 are controlled to remain unchanged, and the angle between the emission path of the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed is adjusted by adjusting the height and inclination of the carrier 11 relative to the annealing unit 12, thereby increasing the reflectivity of the annealing medium 3 to reduce the absorbed power.
[0069] In some embodiments, the annealing device further includes a movement control unit, and the movement control unit is configured to generate deformation under the control of the main control unit 13, so as to adjust the angle between the exit path of the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed.
[0070] In some embodiments, the movement control unit includes at least two piezoelectric control units. The at least two piezoelectric control units are configured to produce different degrees of deformation under the voltage control of the main control unit 13, so as to adjust the angle between the exit path of the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number and arrangement of the piezoelectric control parts can be flexibly adjusted according to process requirements.
[0072] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 The piezoelectric control part shown includes a plurality of piezoelectric units 4 arranged in sequence along the axial direction 111 of the carrier part 11, each of the piezoelectric units 4 includes a first electrode 42, a piezoelectric layer 41 and a second electrode 43 arranged in sequence along the axial direction 111 perpendicular to the carrier part 11, the first electrodes 42 are electrically connected in sequence and then electrically connected to the main control part 13, and the second electrodes 43 are electrically connected in sequence and then electrically connected to the main control part 13, so that adjacent piezoelectric layers 41 have opposite polarization directions under the drive of the main control part 13.
[0073] Specifically, each of the piezoelectric units 4 is polarized under the excitation of the driving voltage of the main control unit 13, the polarization direction and the direction of the external electric field are parallel to each other and are both horizontal, and each of the piezoelectric units 4 vibrates along its own axial direction, that is, vibrates up and down along the axial direction 111 of the bearing part 11.
[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4An interlayer isolation layer 5 is provided between adjacent piezoelectric units 4 to avoid signal interference between them.
[0075] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The first piezoelectric control unit 151 and the second piezoelectric control unit 152 are arranged on the bottom surface of the carrier 11 and are respectively connected to the main control unit 13. The main control unit 13 controls the voltage of the first piezoelectric control unit 151 and the second piezoelectric control unit 152 respectively, and specifically controls the first piezoelectric control unit 151 and the second piezoelectric control unit 152 to vibrate along the axis direction 111 of the carrier 11 and generate different deformation amounts relative to their respective initial states by controlling the different magnitudes of the applied voltages, so that the carrier 11 is tilted relative to the annealing unit 12, thereby changing the angle between the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed.
[0076] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the carrying portion 11 is along the scanning path, that is, Figure 2 At least two piezoelectric control parts are sequentially arranged in the direction A shown, and the specific number and the spacing between different piezoelectric control parts can be flexibly adjusted according to process requirements.
[0077] In some embodiments, at least two of the piezoelectric control parts sequentially arranged along the scanning path at the position corresponding to the bottom surface of the carrier 11 and one of the sub-areas constitute a piezoelectric control group. Several piezoelectric control groups can be arranged on the bottom surface of the carrier 11 in a one-to-one correspondence with several of the sub-areas. The number of piezoelectric control groups, the relative position relationship between different piezoelectric control groups, and the number and relative position relationship of piezoelectric control parts in the same piezoelectric control group can be flexibly adjusted according to process requirements.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, the main control unit 13 is communicatively connected to all the piezoelectric control units, and at least two of the piezoelectric control units that need to be started for control can be flexibly selected according to process requirements, so that the angle between the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed can be adjusted according to requirements.
[0079] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5Taking the example of controlling the annealing medium 3 to act on the fifth sub-area 221 and scanning along the A direction by the main control unit 13, in order to maximize the utilization of the energy of the annealing medium 3, the main control unit 13 should reasonably control the power of the annealing medium 3 and the angle between the exit path of the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed within the range of [X1, X2] during the process of controlling the annealing medium 3 to act on the first area 31, so that the energy of the annealing medium 3 acting on the first area 31 is absorbed by the first area 31 to the maximum extent, and the temperature of the second area 32 to be annealed adjacent to the first area 31 should be within the reference temperature range.
[0080] When the main control unit 13 determines that the temperature of the second area 32 to be annealed is greater than the maximum value in the reference temperature range, it means that the power of the annealing medium 3 is high. After ensuring that the power of the annealing medium 3 remains unchanged and the annealing treatment of the first area 31 is completed, the main control unit 13 adjusts the angle between the exit path of the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed according to the reference temperature range and the temperature of the second area 32, and then drives the annealing medium 3 to act on the second area 32, thereby adjusting the intensity of the annealing medium 3 acting on the second area 32. To achieve the above purpose, the main control unit 13 controls the first piezoelectric control unit 151 and the second piezoelectric control unit 152 to have different deformation amounts in the vertical direction, so that the angle between the exit path of the annealing medium 3 and the substrate 2 to be processed increases or decreases until it is greater than or equal to the value of X1 and less than or equal to the value of X2.
[0081] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to these embodiments. However, it should be understood that such modifications and variations are within the scope and spirit of the present invention as described in the claims.
