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

[0041] As mentioned above, at different stages of the processing, the semiconductor coating equipment needs to achieve different functions of heating or cooling, and the spray plate needs to provide different functions of heat preservation or heat dissipation accordingly. However, the existing spray plate only has the heat dissipation function and cannot achieve heat preservation during the heating stage, thereby reducing the heating efficiency of the semiconductor processing equipment.

[0042] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a spray plate temperature control device, a semiconductor coating equipment, a spray plate temperature control method and a computer-readable storage medium, which can adjust the distance between the cold source and the top of the spray plate by using a distance adjustment mechanism, and adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source to the spray plate, so as to flexibly switch between the heat preservation and heat dissipation functions at different stages of the processing process, so as to improve the temperature control accuracy and cooling efficiency of the semiconductor processing equipment.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 . Figure 1 A front cross-sectional schematic diagram of a spray plate temperature control device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A schematic side cross-sectional view of a spray plate temperature control device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a spray plate temperature control device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.

[0045] exist Figure 1 to Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment, the semiconductor coating provided by the second aspect of the present invention includes a process chamber, a spray plate, and the spray plate temperature control device provided by the first aspect of the present invention. The process chamber is located below the spray plate and is used to accommodate semiconductor wafers. The spray plate is arranged at the top of the process chamber and is used to spray a reaction source of target temperature onto the semiconductor wafer to coat the surface of the semiconductor wafer. The spray plate temperature control device is equipped with a cold source 11, an adjustment ring 12 and a distance adjustment mechanism, which are used to flexibly adjust the temperature of the spray plate to meet the actual needs of the semiconductor coating process.

[0046] Specifically, the cold source 11 has a cold source temperature that is not higher than the target temperature of the spray disk. The adjustment ring 12 is made of a heat-conducting material and is fixedly mounted on the top of the spray disk. The distance adjustment mechanism includes an insulation liquid inlet and outlet 131 and a receiving chamber 132. The insulation liquid inlet and outlet 131 is connected to the receiving chamber 132. The bottom of the receiving chamber 132 is thermally connected to the top of the adjustment ring 12. The top of the receiving chamber 132 is thermally connected to the bottom of the cold source 11. In this way, the receiving chamber 132 can be extended or retracted in a direction away from or close to the adjustment ring 12 as the insulation liquid flows in or out, so as to adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 on the spray disk and control the actual temperature of the spray disk to the target temperature.

[0047] In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned cold source 11 can be a water-cooled block, which is provided with a water inlet interface 151 and a water outlet interface 152, so that cooling water is introduced through the water inlet interface 151 and discharged through the water outlet interface 152, so as to achieve a circulating cooling effect and take away the heat obtained from the spray disk through the distance adjustment mechanism and the adjustment ring 12.

[0048] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the distance adjustment mechanism may adopt a bellows structure. Specifically, the bellows structure may include an inner bellows 141 and an outer bellows 142. The inner bellows 141 connects the inner ring of the adjustment ring 12 and the cold source 11, while the outer bellows 142 connects the outer ring of the adjustment ring 12 and the cold source 11, so that the insulation liquid completely contacts the heat transfer surface of the adjustment ring 12 and the cold source 11. Furthermore, the inner bellows 141 and / or the outer bellows 142 facing away from the accommodating cavity may preferably be provided with an insulation coating to block direct heat exchange between the insulation liquid and the external environment, so as to reduce the influence of the external environment temperature on the insulation liquid temperature, thereby improving the temperature control accuracy of the spray plate.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 . Figure 4 A schematic top view of a bellows structure provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 The bellows provided in some embodiments of the present invention is shown along Figure 4Schematic diagram of the cross section along the AC direction.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, at least two layers of insulation liquid channels are provided between the inner bellows 141 and the outer bellows 142, wherein a slit is provided on the layer partition plate between the inner channel 511 and the outer channel 512. The insulation liquid inlet and outlet 131 is directly connected to the inner channel 511. In this way, when the insulation liquid is injected into or extracted from the accommodating cavity 132, the insulation liquid can first pass through the inner channel 511, and then enter and exit the outer channel 512 through the slit, thereby improving the force uniformity of the spray plate to avoid the occurrence of eccentric loading.

[0051] In addition, the spray plate temperature control device provided in the first aspect of the present invention may further include a controller and a temperature sensor 16. The controller is configured to first obtain the actual temperature of the spray plate through the temperature sensor 16, and then control the insulation liquid to flow into or out of the accommodating cavity 132 according to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature, so as to adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 to the spray plate, and control the actual temperature of the spray plate to the target temperature.

[0052] The working principle of the above-mentioned spray plate temperature control device and controller will be described below in combination with some embodiments of the spray plate temperature control method. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments of the spray plate temperature control method are only some non-limiting implementation methods provided by the present invention, which are intended to clearly demonstrate the main concept of the present invention and provide some specific solutions that are convenient for the public to implement, rather than to limit all functions or all working modes of the spray plate temperature control device and controller. Similarly, the spray plate temperature control device and controller are also only a non-limiting implementation method provided by the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation on the execution subject or execution order of each step in these spray plate temperature control methods.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic flow chart of a spray plate temperature control method according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, in the process of temperature control of the spray disc, the controller of the spray disc temperature control device can first obtain the actual temperature of the spray disc via the temperature sensor 16. Afterwards, the controller can control the insulation liquid to flow into or out of the accommodating chamber 132 according to the difference between the actual temperature obtained and the preset target temperature, and extend and retract in the direction away from or close to the spray disc through the accommodating chamber 132, and adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 to the spray disc, so as to efficiently and accurately control the actual temperature of the spray disc to the target temperature.

[0055] For example, the controller can compare the actual temperature obtained with the preset target temperature. In response to the actual temperature being higher than the target temperature, the controller can control the insulation liquid to flow out of the accommodating chamber 132, reduce the distance from the cold source 11 to the top of the spray plate, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 to the spray plate, thereby promoting the reduction of the temperature of the spray plate. Conversely, in response to the actual temperature being lower than the target temperature, the controller can control the insulation liquid to flow into the accommodating chamber 132, increase the distance from the cold source 11 to the top of the spray plate, so as to reduce the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 to the spray plate, thereby maintaining the temperature of the spray plate, and using the heat of the heating plate to increase its actual temperature.

[0056] Further, the controller can also preferably quantitatively adjust the heat dissipation efficiency according to the size of the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature to reduce the fluctuation of the temperature change. Specifically, the controller can first determine the target height of the distance adjustment mechanism according to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature. Here, the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature can be a positive value or a negative value, wherein a positive value indicates that the actual temperature is higher than the target temperature, and a negative value indicates that the actual temperature is lower than the target temperature. The correspondence between the difference and the target height can be determined by a pre-experimental calibration. The lower the target height, the higher the corresponding heat dissipation efficiency. Afterwards, the controller can quantitatively control the insulation liquid to flow into or out of the accommodating chamber 132 according to the determined target height, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 to the spray plate is adapted to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature.

[0057] Furthermore, the above-mentioned spray plate temperature control device provided by the first aspect of the present invention may also preferably include multiple insulation liquid sources, wherein each insulation liquid source stores different insulation liquids with thermal conductivity between 0.2 and 0.8. By storing insulation liquids with different thermal conductivity in each insulation liquid source, the spray plate temperature control device can also select insulation liquid with corresponding thermal conductivity according to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature, and control the selected insulation liquid to flow into or out of the accommodating cavity 132 according to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature, so as to adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 to the spray plate, thereby correspondingly adjusting the temperature control range and temperature control speed.

[0058] For example, the spray plate temperature control device may select the first insulation liquid with a thermal conductivity of 0.2 by default for temperature control, so as to obtain the fastest temperature control speed and the highest temperature control accuracy. Afterwards, in response to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature being greater than the temperature control range of the first insulation liquid, the spray plate temperature control device may extract the first insulation liquid from the accommodating cavity 132, and select the second insulation liquid with a higher thermal conductivity (for example: 0.4) for temperature control, thereby taking into account the temperature control speed, temperature control accuracy and temperature control range. Afterwards, in response to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature being further greater than the temperature control range of the second insulation liquid, the spray plate temperature control device may further select the third insulation liquid with a higher thermal conductivity (for example: 0.8) for temperature control, thereby achieving the maximum range of temperature control.

[0059] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned embodiments of controlling directly based on a controller are only some non-limiting implementation methods provided by the present invention, which are intended to clearly demonstrate the main concepts of the present invention and provide some specific solutions that are convenient for the public to implement, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] Optionally, in other embodiments, technicians in this field can also obtain the actual temperature of the spray disk through the temperature sensor 16 through manual control methods, and then control the insulation liquid to flow into or out of the containing cavity 132 according to the difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature, so as to adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source 11 to the spray disk, and control the actual temperature of the spray disk to the target temperature.

[0061] In summary, the above-mentioned spray plate temperature control device, semiconductor coating equipment, spray plate temperature control method and computer-readable storage medium provided by the present invention can adjust the distance between the cold source and the top of the spray plate by using a distance adjustment mechanism, and adjust the heat dissipation efficiency of the cold source to the spray plate, so as to flexibly switch the two functions of heat preservation and heat dissipation at different stages of the processing process, so as to improve the temperature control accuracy and cooling efficiency of the semiconductor coating equipment.

[0062] Although the above methods are illustrated and described as a series of actions for simplicity of explanation, it should be understood and appreciated that these methods are not limited by the order of the actions, because according to one or more embodiments, some actions may occur in a different order and / or concurrently with other actions from those illustrated and described herein or not illustrated and described herein but understandable to those skilled in the art.
