[0002] In the field of semiconductor processing, an Electro-Static Chuck (ESC) is one of the core components in a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition device. The ESC achieves electrostatic adsorption of a wafer through internal charging, and eliminates the adsorption force through discharging to release the wafer. However, in actual use, it is a yet-to-be-solved problem to confirm whether the ESC discharging is complete.

On the contrary, the purpose of introducing the invention in conjunction with the implementation manner is to cover other alternatives or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present invention. In order to provide a deep understanding of the present invention, many specific details will be included in the following description. The present invention can also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusing or obscuring the key points of the present invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components.

Thus, the first component, region, layer, and / or portion discussed below may be referred to as the second component, region, layer, and / or portion without departing from some embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] As described above, in the field of semiconductor processing, an Electro-Static Chuck (ESC) is one of the core components in a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition device. The ESC achieves electrostatic adsorption of a wafer through internal charging and eliminates the adsorption force through discharging to release the wafer. However, in actual use, it is still an unsolved problem to confirm whether the ESC has completely discharged. The existing technologies in this field currently cannot confirm the discharging effect of the ESC by detecting the adsorption force of the wafer, which may further cause the wafer to be lifted by a pin when the ESC has not completely discharged, resulting in the wafer position deviation being unable to be transmitted or the wafer being fragmented.

[0027] To overcome the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a detecting device for wafer adsorption force, a detecting method for wafer adsorption force, and a processing device for semiconductor devices, which can determine whether the suction force between the wafer and the ESC has been completely eliminated, so as to improve the economy and reliability of semiconductor processing equipment.

[0028] In some non-limiting embodiments, the above-mentioned detecting method for wafer adsorption force provided by the second aspect of the present invention can be implemented by the above-mentioned detecting device for wafer adsorption force provided by the first aspect of the present invention. The detecting device can be configured in the above-mentioned processing device for semiconductor devices provided by the fourth aspect of the present invention, which is equipped with a memory and a processor. The memory includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned computer-readable storage medium provided by the third aspect of the present invention, on which computer instructions are stored. The processor is connected to the memory and is configured to execute the computer instructions stored on the memory to implement the above-mentioned detecting method for wafer adsorption force provided by the second aspect of the present invention.

[0029] First, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which shows a schematic diagram of a processing device for semiconductor devices provided by some embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] As Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the processing apparatus for a semiconductor device provided by the second aspect of the present invention includes an electrostatic chuck 11, an ejector pin 12, a detecting device for the wafer adsorption force, and a controller (not shown). The electrostatic chuck 11 is used to carry and adsorb the wafer. The first end of the ejector pin 12 abuts against the lower side of the electrostatic chuck 11, and its second end abuts against the base of the semiconductor device, and is used to lift the above-mentioned wafer. The detecting device for the wafer adsorption force includes a laser emitter 13, a light sensor 14, and a processor (not shown). The laser emitter 13 is disposed at a preset height on the first sidewall 15 of the process chamber of the semiconductor device. The preset height can be determined according to the separation height at which the above-mentioned wafer to be measured is ejected to the separation state. The preset height can be higher than the wafer receiving surface and lower than the height of the ejector pin separation position. Preferably, the preset height can be 1 mm higher than the wafer receiving surface 1 mm. The controller is communicatively connected to the ejector pin 12, and the controller is configured to determine the adsorption force received by the above-mentioned wafer via the detecting device, and control the ejector pin 12 to lift the above-mentioned wafer according to the adsorption force.

[0031] In addition, please refer to Figure 2 in conjunction with Figure 3 . Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the laser emitter provided by some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the laser sensor provided by some embodiments of the present invention is shown.

[0032] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the above-mentioned laser emitter 22 can be disposed on the first sidewall 15 via the first mounting groove 21. The above-mentioned laser sensor 32 is disposed on the second sidewall via the second mounting groove 31. The first mounting groove 21 and the second mounting groove 31 are provided with light-transmitting sealing sheets 24, 34 at the openings of the process chamber. The laser emitter 22 and the laser sensor 32 transmit the laser through the light-transmitting sealing sheet 24. The first surface of the light-transmitting sealing sheet 24 facing the process chamber is provided with a metal mesh to conduct the radio frequency of the inner surface of the process chamber. The second surface of the light-transmitting sealing sheet 24 facing the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove is provided with polarizing sheets 23, 33 for screening light sources and defining the direction of acceptable light. In this way, the light source can be screened and the direction of acceptable light can be defined. The polarization directions of the polarizing sheets 23, 33 are consistent with the transmission direction of the laser.

[0033] Preferably, the openings of the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove can be sealed. Here, a high light transmittance material can be used to seal the groove openings to avoid a gap of more than 1 mm in the chamber when the radio frequency is turned on, thereby avoiding the occurrence of tip discharge phenomenon. The high light transmittance material can include, but is not limited to, sapphire material.

[0034] Preferably, the laser sensor 32 can be further set with a threshold value for screening light sources and specifying the direction of acceptable light rays.

[0035] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the wavelength range of glow can be avoided by selecting the transmission / reception wavelengths of the above-mentioned laser emitter 22 and the above-mentioned laser sensor 32.

[0036] The working principle of the above-mentioned wafer adsorption force detection device will be described below in conjunction with some embodiments of the wafer adsorption force detection method. Those skilled in the art can understand that these embodiments of the wafer adsorption force detection method are only some non-restrictive implementation manners provided by the present invention, aiming to clearly show the main concept of the present invention and provide some specific solutions convenient for the public to implement, rather than limiting all functions or all working modes of the wafer adsorption force detection device. Similarly, the wafer adsorption force detection device is also a non-restrictive implementation manner provided by the present invention and does not limit the execution subject of each step in these wafer adsorption force detection methods.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figures 4A to 4D 、 Figures 5A to 5C and Figure 6 . Figures 4A to 4D Fig. shows a schematic diagram of the detection process of the wafer adsorption force detection device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figures 5A to 5C Fig. shows a schematic diagram of the detection optical signal intensity of the wafer adsorption force detection device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 6 Fig. shows a schematic flow chart of a wafer adsorption force detection method provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] Furthermore, as Figure 4A shown, during the process of the above-mentioned ejector pin 12 lifting the above-mentioned electrostatic chuck 11, initially, the above-mentioned wafer to be measured 43 is not ejected to the lifted state or the above-mentioned wafer to be measured 43 is adsorbed by the electrostatic chuck 11. Therefore, the wafer will not block the laser emitted by the above-mentioned laser emitter 41. Therefore, the above-mentioned detection device will not be blocked by the wafer to be measured 43 in the adsorbed state and / or ejected to the lifted state. As Figure 4B 、 Figure 4C shown, as the ejector pin 12 further lifts the electrostatic chuck 11, when the wafer is ejected to the separated state, the wafer to be measured 43 will block part of the laser emitted by the above-mentioned laser emitter 41, resulting in the laser sensor 42 being unable to fully receive all the laser emitted by the laser emitter 41.

[0039] Further, the processor of the detection device can be configured to record the acquired laser intensity in response to the operation of the ejector pin 12, and determine the waveform of the laser over time based on the recorded laser intensity. The processor can also analyze the waveform to determine the adsorption force exerted on the wafer 43 to be measured.

[0040] Specifically, the present invention can measure the wafer 43 to be measured through the detection device to obtain the actual waveform of the wafer 43 to be measured. As Figure 5A shown, when the waveform is a waveform that decreases and then steadily rises, it can be determined that the wafer 43 to be measured blocks the laser emitter 41 during the process of being lifted, thus blocking the optical path once, and then releasing the optical path. In this way, it can be explained that the surface of the wafer 43 to be measured is flat and the wafer is normally released without any chip jumping. Therefore, it can be determined that the adsorption force exerted on the wafer 43 to be measured is zero. As Figure 5B shown, when the waveform is a waveform that decreases and does not rise again, it can be determined that the central part of the surface of the wafer 43 to be measured bulges and continuously blocks the optical path, and the edge of the wafer 43 to be measured does not bulge and block the optical path. Thus, it can be determined that the center of the wafer 43 to be measured is lifted by the ejector pin 12, but the edge is still adsorbed by the electrostatic chuck 11. Since the bulging part continuously blocks the optical path, the received signal will not rise. In this way, it can be determined that the adsorption force exerted on the wafer 43 to be measured is greater than the lifting force provided by the ejector pin 12. As Figure 5C shown, when the waveform is a waveform that decreases and jitters and then rises, it can be determined that the blocking situation of the wafer is irregular, and thus it can be determined that the wafer 43 to be measured is not normally released and there is a chip jumping reception situation. In this way, it can be determined that the adsorption force exerted on the wafer 43 to be measured is not zero and is less than the lifting force provided by the ejector pin 12.

[0041] In this way, the present invention can determine whether the suction force between the wafer and the electrostatic chuck has been completely eliminated, so as to improve the economy and reliability of semiconductor processing equipment.

[0042] Further, the present invention can also, before calibrating the actual waveform of the wafer 43 to be measured, pre-lift the wafer 43 to be measured to the lifted state under normal working conditions where the adsorption force is zero, so as to calibrate the standard waveform of the laser. Then, the actual waveform of the laser of the wafer 43 to be measured is calibrated by lifting the ejector pin. The present invention can compare the standard waveform with the actual waveform. When the standard waveform is the same as the actual waveform, it can be determined that the adsorption force of the wafer 43 to be measured is 0. When the standard waveform is different from the actual waveform, the above-mentioned judgment method can be used to determine the adsorption force exerted on the wafer. Details are not described here again.

[0043] Please further refer to Figures 1 to 6, during the process of detecting the wafer adsorption force, the detection device can first emit a laser into the lifting path where the above-mentioned wafer to be measured 43 is lifted at a preset height. The above-mentioned preset height is determined according to the separation height at which the above-mentioned wafer to be measured 43 is ejected to the separated state. After that, the detection device can receive the laser passing through the above-mentioned lifting path at this preset height and calibrate the waveform diagram of the received laser over time. After that, the detection device can analyze this waveform to determine the adsorption force received by the above-mentioned wafer to be measured 43. Since this method has been described in detail in the specific implementation of the above-mentioned detection device for wafer adsorption force, it will not be elaborated here.

[0044] In summary, since there is no detection device in the prior art of this field that can confirm the electrostatic chuck discharge effect by detecting the wafer adsorption force, the detection device for wafer adsorption force provided by the present invention can determine whether the suction force between the wafer and the electrostatic chuck has been completely eliminated, so as to improve the economy and reliability of semiconductor processing equipment.
