[0068] In addition, the “connection” in the following embodiments should be understood as “electrical connection”, “communication connection”, etc., if there is transmission of electrical signals or data between the connected objects.

It should also be understood that the terms "include," "comprising," "having," and the like specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Also, in this specification, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.
[0070] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , a fixture wafer 100 is provided, including a wafer body 110 and an electrostatic generating module 120.
[0071] The wafer body 110 is a special wafer with a preset size (eg, 12 inches) for cleaning foreign matter, and its material may include but is not limited to resin polymer.
[0072] The static electricity generating module 120 is located on and connected to the wafer body 110. The static electricity generating module 120 can generate static electricity, thereby causing the wafer body 110 connected thereto to have static electricity. As an example, the static electricity generating module 120 can include, but is not limited to, a static electricity generating device.
[0073] See also Figure 2When a statically charged wafer body 110 approaches an uncharged foreign object, electrostatic induction causes the side of the foreign object closest to the charged wafer body 110 to accumulate charges of opposite polarity to the charge carried by the wafer body 110 (while the other side generates an equal amount of charges of the same polarity as the charge carried by the wafer body 110). Because opposite charges attract each other, a phenomenon called "electrostatic attraction" occurs, causing the foreign object to be attached to the wafer body 110.
[0074] When using the jig wafer 100 of this embodiment to clean the cavity equipment, the jig wafer 100 can first be sent to the cavity of the equipment through the robotic arm of the cavity equipment, and then the electrostatic generation module 120 is controlled to generate static charge, so that the wafer body 110 is charged with static charge to absorb foreign matter in the cavity and / or in the transmission path.
[0075] The fixture wafer 100 of this embodiment can utilize the principle of electrostatic adsorption to quickly, safely, and inexpensively clean foreign matter in the cavity (such as on the electrostatic chuck in the cavity) in a cavity environment, while also processing foreign matter in the transmission path. Therefore, the present application can effectively improve the cleaning effect, thereby effectively reducing product defects and improving product yield. In addition, the good cleaning effect also means that during the process, there is no need to frequently open the cavity and / or transmission path for maintenance, thereby avoiding damage to the cavity and transmission path, greatly saving manpower and time.
[0076] Specifically, as an example, the fixture wafer 100 of this embodiment can be used to effectively clean equipment with an electrostatic chuck (ESC). When foreign matter is generated on the surface of the ESC in the cavity of this type of equipment, the foreign matter may cause the pores of the ESC to be blocked, thereby causing abnormalities in the corresponding gas (such as helium), thereby affecting product quality. At the same time, when gas (such as helium) abnormalities occur, an arc may be generated, causing the ESC to break down or burn. Damage to the ESC may cause the position of the substrate to be processed to shift, thereby causing fragmentation.
[0077] After the jig wafer 100 of this embodiment is used to clean it, clogging of the pores of the ESC can be effectively avoided, thereby effectively improving product quality and yield.
[0078] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The wafer body 110 has a plurality of holes 110a, through which foreign matter can be collected. At this time, foreign matter enters the interior of the wafer body through the holes 110a, which helps to keep the surface of the wafer body 110 clean, thereby effectively preventing the robotic arm that transfers the wafer body 110 from being contaminated by the wafer body 110.
[0079] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The wafer body 110 includes a wafer adsorption layer 111 and a foreign matter collection layer 112 .
[0080] See also Figure 3 Also see Figure 4 The static electricity generating module 120 is located on the wafer adsorption layer 111 and is connected to the wafer adsorption layer 111 , so that the wafer adsorption layer 111 has static charges, thereby being able to electrostatically adsorb foreign matter.
[0081] See also Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The foreign matter collection layer 112 is disposed opposite to the wafer adsorption layer 111. Furthermore, the foreign matter collection layer 112 has a plurality of holes 110a. Furthermore, the holes 110a on the foreign matter collection layer 112 are through holes, that is, the holes 110a on the foreign matter collection layer 112 penetrate the foreign matter collection layer 112.
[0082] Also, see Figure 3 There is a preset distance between the foreign matter collection layer 112 and the wafer adsorption layer 111. As an example, the preset distance may be 2 mm to 5 mm.
[0083] At this time, there is a hollow space between the two layers, so that foreign matter can pass through the holes 110a of the foreign matter collection layer 112 and be adsorbed on the wafer adsorption layer 111. At this time, the robot arm can be prevented from directly contacting the wafer adsorption layer 111, preventing foreign matter on the wafer adsorption layer 111 from contaminating the robot arm.
[0084] As an example, the foreign matter collection layer 112 in this embodiment can be integrated with the wafer adsorption layer 111 to enhance the structural stability of the wafer body 110. Of course, the foreign matter collection layer 112 can also be a separate structure from the wafer adsorption layer 111 and assembled together during use, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0085] Meanwhile, in other embodiments, the configuration of the wafer body 110 is not limited to this. For example, the wafer body 110 may also include only the wafer adsorption layer 111, with the static electricity generating module provided on one side of the wafer adsorption layer 111 and a blind hole provided on the other side that does not penetrate the wafer adsorption layer 111.
[0086] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 , the wafer body 110 has a plurality of electrostatic adsorption areas 110c.
[0087] Meanwhile, the static electricity generating module 120 includes a plurality of static electricity generating units (not shown). Each static electricity generating unit can generate static charge. As an example, each static electricity generating unit can be composed of a small static electricity generating device.
[0088] Each static electricity generating unit is correspondingly connected to an static electricity adsorption area 110 c , so that each static electricity adsorption area 110 c has static charge.
[0089] In this embodiment, the wafer body 110 is divided into multiple electrostatic adsorption areas 110c, and the electrostatic force strength of each area is independently controlled by each electrostatic generating unit. This allows the electrostatic force of each electrostatic adsorption area 110c to be flexibly adjusted according to the distribution of foreign matter. For example, the electrostatic force can be strengthened in specific areas to facilitate the adsorption and removal of foreign matter that is difficult to adsorb.
[0090] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The wafer body 110 is provided with a positioning hole 110 b. The positioning hole 110 b can be used to position the wafer body 110.
[0091] Specifically, when the wafer body 110 includes a wafer adsorption layer 111 and a foreign matter collection layer 112, the positioning hole 110b can be located in the foreign matter collection layer 112. Furthermore, a positioning structure can be provided on the cleaning component within the chamber device, and the positioning hole cooperates with the positioning structure to position and secure the wafer body 110. For example, a chamber device with an ESC can have an ejector pin on the ESC, and the positioning hole cooperates with the ejector pin to position and secure the wafer body 110.
[0092] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The fixture wafer 100 further includes a first control module 130. The first control module 130 is located on the wafer body 110 and is connected to the static electricity generating module 120 for controlling the static electricity generating module to generate static charges.
[0093] When the wafer body 110 includes the wafer adsorption layer 111 and the foreign matter collection layer 112 , the first control module 130 may be located on the wafer adsorption layer 111 .
[0094] In this embodiment, the first control module 130 and the static electricity generating module 120 are both disposed on the wafer body 110 , thereby facilitating the control of the static electricity generating module 120 .
[0095] Furthermore, the fixture wafer 100 may also include a first wireless communication module 140, which is also located on the wafer body 110 and connected to the first control module 130, so that the first control module 130 can easily obtain control commands through the first wireless communication module 140.
[0096] When the wafer body 110 includes the wafer adsorption layer 111 and the foreign matter collection layer 112 , the first wireless communication module 140 may also be located on the wafer adsorption layer 111 .
[0097] Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto, and the fixture wafer 100 may also include a wired communication module so that the first control module 130 can obtain control commands through the wired communication module. In this case, the wired communication module and the external transmission line may be arranged inside the device.
[0098] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The fixture wafer 100 further includes an image acquisition module 150, which is also located on the wafer body 110 and is used to collect foreign matter information. As an example, the image acquisition module 150 may include a camera.
[0099] When the wafer body 110 includes a wafer adsorption layer 111 and a foreign matter collection layer 112, the image acquisition module 150 can be located on the wafer adsorption layer 111. In this case, an image acquisition avoidance hole 112a can be opened in the foreign matter collection layer 112 so that the image acquisition module 150 can pass through the image acquisition avoidance hole 112a to capture images.
[0100] At the same time, the image acquisition module 150 is connected to the first control module 130, so that the foreign object information can be sent to the first control module 130. The first control module 130 can send the foreign object information to the outside through the first wireless communication module 140 or the wired communication module.
[0101] At this time, the staff can observe the location of the foreign matter in the cavity of the equipment (such as on the surface of the ESC), make relevant judgments (such as whether the foreign matter on the surface of the ESC causes the corresponding gas (such as helium) to be abnormal), and then perform relevant processing according to the judgment (remove the foreign matter or detect the cause of the gas abnormality).
[0102] At the same time, when there is foreign matter, the size of the foreign matter can also be observed. For foreign matter that is large or difficult to adsorb, the electrostatic adsorption force can be enhanced, thereby facilitating adsorption and cleaning.
[0103] At the same time, it can also observe whether there are foreign objects in the transmission path and effectively clean them. Similarly, foreign objects on the robot arm can also be cleaned.
[0104] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 , also provides a cleaning jig for cavity equipment. The cleaning jig includes the jig wafer 100 and a wafer box 200. The wafer box 200 is used to place the jig wafer 100.
[0105] In actual manufacturing processes, process chamber processes are generally divided into two types: one for metal processing and the other for non-metallic processing. To address this, different fixture wafers 100 and corresponding wafer cassettes 200 can be provided for each process. In this case, the fixture wafers 100 and wafer cassettes 200 are not mixed between the two processes to prevent cross contamination.
[0106] In the above embodiment, the electrostatic generating module 120, the first wireless communication module 140, the first control module 130 and the image acquisition module 150 of the fixture wafer 100 are all arranged on the wafer body 100. It can be understood that in other embodiments, this is not a limitation, and the positions of the various modules of the fixture wafer 100 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs and process processing conditions.
[0107] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The wafer box 200 includes a box body 210 and a foreign matter collector 220. The box body 210 has a wafer placement area inside. The wafer placement area is used to store and place the fixture wafer 100.
[0108] The foreign matter collector 220 is located inside the box body 210 . Furthermore, the foreign matter collector 220 is located below the wafer placement area, so as to collect foreign matter adsorbed on the wafer body 110 .
[0109] As an example, the foreign matter collecting member 220 may be provided in the form of a baffle.
[0110] After the fixture wafer 100 completes the adsorption of foreign matter inside the device (in the cavity and / or in the transmission path), it can be transferred out of the cavity by a robotic arm. Then, the fixture wafer 100 is placed in the wafer placement area inside the wafer box 200. The static electricity generating module 120 can then be turned off. At this time, foreign matter will fall into the foreign matter collection piece 220 below the wafer placement area, and will not fall directly on the box body 210 or other components in the box body 210, thereby preventing the box body 210 or other components in the box body 210 from being contaminated.
[0111] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The wafer cassette 200 further includes an exhaust line 260 and an air intake line 270. Both the exhaust line 260 and the air intake line 270 are connected to the foreign matter collector 220. The exhaust line 260 is used to discharge foreign matter from the foreign matter collector 220. The air intake line 270 is used to purge foreign matter from the jig wafers 100 and / or the foreign matter collector 220.
[0112] The exhaust line 260 may be connected to a vacuum pump or a mechanical pump, etc. When foreign matter falls into the foreign matter collecting member 220 , the vacuum pump or the mechanical pump may be started to effectively discharge the foreign matter through the exhaust line 260 .
[0113] The air inlet line 270 can be connected to a gas source such as nitrogen. When cleaning is required, the gas source can be opened, allowing nitrogen or the like to flow through the air inlet line 270 to purge foreign matter on the jig wafer 100 and / or the foreign matter collector 220, and then the foreign matter is effectively discharged through the exhaust line 260.
[0114] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The wafer box 200 further includes a second control module 230 and a second wireless communication module 240 .
[0115] As an example, the second control module 230 and the second wireless communication module 240 are both disposed on the box body 210 .
[0116] Specifically, a base 211 may be provided at the bottom of the box body 210. The second control module 230 and the second wireless communication module 240 may be provided on the base 211. Of course, in other embodiments, the second control module 230 and the second wireless communication module 240 may not be provided on the box body 210.
[0117] The second wireless communication module 240 is used to achieve communication between the second control module 230 and the fixture wafer 100. The second control module 230 can control the static electricity generating module 120 of the fixture wafer 100 to generate static charges through the second wireless communication module 240.
[0118] Specifically, the second control module 230 can communicate with the first wireless communication module 140 located on the wafer body 110 through the second wireless communication module 240, and connect to the first control module 130 located on the wafer body 110, thereby sending a control command to the first control module 130, so that the first control module 130 controls the static electricity generating module 120 to generate static electricity according to the control command.
[0119] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 When the fixture wafer 100 is provided with an image acquisition module 150 for acquiring foreign matter information, the wafer box 200 further includes a display panel 250 .
[0120] The display panel 250 is connected to the second control module 230 that is in communication with the jig wafer 100 , thereby communicating with the jig wafer 100 through the second control module 230 .
[0121] Specifically, when the image acquisition module 150 on the fixture wafer 100 captures foreign object information, it can send the foreign object information to the first control module 130. The first control module 130 can then send the foreign object information to the second control module 230 via the first wireless communication module 140 and the second wireless communication module 240. The second control module 230 can then send the foreign object information to the display panel 250, which can then display the foreign object information on the display panel.
[0122] In this embodiment, the display panel 250 not only has an image display interface 251 for displaying images, but also has a function operation interface 252, so that the static electricity generating module 120 and the image acquisition module 150 in the fixture wafer 100 can be operated through the function operation interface. For example, the operator can set the static electricity start time, intensity, or delayed start of the static electricity generating module 120 through the function operation interface.
[0123] In one embodiment, the wafer box 200 further includes a charging module that can be used to charge the static electricity generating module 120 of the wafer fixture 100 , thereby enabling the static electricity generating module 120 to be used in a long-term cycle.
[0124] Furthermore, when the fixture wafer 100 further includes a first control module 130 and the wafer box 200 further includes a second control module 230 , etc., the charging module can also charge the first control module 130 and the second control module 230 , etc.
[0125] In one embodiment, a method for cleaning a cavity device is also provided. Figure 7 ,include:
[0126] Step S100: The fixture wafer is transferred to the cavity of the device by a robotic arm. Figure 8 ;
[0127] In step S400 , the static electricity generating module is controlled to generate static charges, so that the wafer body is charged with static charges to absorb foreign matter in the cavity and / or in the transmission path.
[0128] In one embodiment, before step S400, the method further includes:
[0129] Step S200: collecting information about foreign matter in the cavity and / or in the transmission path.
