To ensure the withstand voltage requirement of the operational amplifier 12, the operational amplifier 12 needs to use a high-voltage isolated operational amplifier, that is, the input and output terminals of the operational amplifier 12 are isolated, and the isolation voltage Uiso ≥ the voltage HV output from the ESC power supply to the load. + Output. By detecting the voltage at the output of the operational amplifier 12 and according to the amplification ratio, the magnitude of the ESC power supply loop current can be calculated. However, the high-voltage isolated operational amplifier is expensive and the isolation voltage value is limited. When the voltage at the output of the electrostatic chuck power supply is too large, the accuracy of current detection is poor. Summary of the invention

[0010] In the embodiment of the present application, the reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier is used to input a first reference voltage, and the absolute voltage difference between the first reference voltage and the output voltage of the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply is less than the withstand voltage difference of the operational amplifier, and the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier is used to input a first supply voltage, and the first supply voltage is higher than the first reference voltage by a preset first voltage value. By setting the first reference voltage of the reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier to have an absolute voltage difference with the output voltage of the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply that is less than the withstand voltage difference of the operational amplifier, the voltage to ground of the input terminal (input positive terminal, input negative terminal) and the output terminal of the operational amplifier are both DC high voltage, but the voltage difference between any two is very low, so the operational amplifier can use a common operational amplifier without high-voltage isolation, avoiding the high cost of the high-voltage isolated operational amplifier and the limited value of the isolation voltage. When the high voltage voltage at the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply is too large, the accuracy of current detection is poor, which reduces the cost and improves the accuracy of current detection.

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] The terms "first", "second", etc. in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, the "and / or" in this application represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents that the front and back associated objects are in an "or" relationship. It should be noted that the data involved in this application are all obtained on the premise of obtaining user authorization.

[0021] A chuck is a support platform located in a processing chamber for fixing and supporting a wafer to be processed or a tray loaded with wafers during wafer processing in semiconductor process equipment. An electrostatic chuck (ESC) is a chuck that uses the principle of electrostatic adsorption to fix a wafer or a tray. The ESC base is embedded with a chuck electrode, and the ESC power supply provides a DC high voltage to the chuck electrode, thereby generating an electrostatic force between the chuck and the wafer, fixing the wafer or tray on the chuck.

[0022] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the electrical system of the electrostatic chuck, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base of the electrostatic chuck 23 includes a first ceramic layer 22 and a second ceramic layer 26, in which a first electrode 21 and a second electrode 25 are respectively buried. The first electrode 21 and the second electrode 25 are made of metal and are surrounded by the first ceramic layer 22 and the second ceramic layer 26 on all four sides. The two high-voltage output terminals HV + Output and HV-Output are connected to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 25 respectively through the first filter circuit 24 and the second filter circuit 27 .

[0023] The voltage value of the two high-voltage output terminals of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 is generally one thousand to tens of thousands of volts (V). Since both ceramic layers are insulating materials, the loop current of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 is extremely small. For example, in a Coulomb type electrostatic chuck, both ceramic layers are high-purity ceramic materials, and generally the resistance between the two electrodes and the ground is required to be greater than 1000 gigaohms (GΩ) or the loop current I of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 is required to be less than 10 microamperes (μA). In a JR type electrostatic chuck, the two ceramic layers are doped with conductive materials, and the loop current I is slightly larger, and generally the loop current I is required to be less than 200μA.

[0024] In order to understand the operation of semiconductor process equipment and protect the safety of equipment and personnel, it is necessary to accurately detect the current of the ESC power supply circuit and design necessary short-circuit protection circuits. The ESC power supply has the characteristics of outputting high voltage and micro current, which brings certain difficulties to current detection.

[0025] In the related art, a high-voltage isolated operational amplifier is used to detect the current in the ESC power supply loop. However, the high-voltage isolated operational amplifier is relatively expensive, and the value of the isolation voltage is limited. When the voltage at the output end of the electrostatic chuck power supply is too large, the accuracy of the current detection is poor. To this end, the present application proposes a detection device for the current in the electrostatic chuck power supply loop and a semiconductor process equipment to solve the problem that the high-voltage isolated operational amplifier in the related art is relatively expensive, and the value of the isolation voltage is limited. When the voltage at the output end of the electrostatic chuck power supply is too large, the accuracy of the current detection is poor.

[0026] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a detection device for a current in an electrostatic chuck power supply circuit is provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the device for detecting the current of the electrostatic chuck power supply loop in the embodiment of the present application may specifically include: a sampling resistor R and a voltage detection unit 31.

[0028] The sampling resistor R is connected in series to the output end of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 .

[0029] It should be noted that the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 can be the positive output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 or the negative output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10. The output voltage of the positive output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 is HV + The output voltage of the negative output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 is HV-, and the voltage output to the load is recorded as HV + Output, HV - For the convenience of description, the following description will be made by taking the output end of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 as the positive output end of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 as an example.

[0030] The voltage detection unit 31 is used to amplify the sampling voltage U across the sampling resistor R, generate a detection voltage, and output the detection voltage through the output end of the voltage detection unit 31. The sampling voltage U across the sampling resistor R can be calculated based on the detection voltage, and then the loop current I of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 flowing through the sampling resistor R can be calculated based on the sampling voltage U and the resistance R of the sampling resistor R, where I=U / R.

[0031] The voltage detection unit 31 may specifically include an operational amplifier 12 .

[0032] The positive input terminal IN of the operational amplifier 12 + Connected to the input terminal 1 of the sampling resistor R, the negative input terminal IN of the operational amplifier 12 - Connected to the output terminal 2 of the sampling resistor R, the output terminal of the operational amplifier 12 is used to output a voltage signal proportional to the loop current. The input voltage U of the operational amplifier 12 is R*I, and the operational amplifier 12 amplifies the voltage U. The gain (amplification factor) of the operational amplifier 12 is adjustable and is recorded as K. 12 The voltage U at the output of the operational amplifier 12 is 12 =K 12 *U=K 12 *R*I,U 12∝I, through circuit conversion, the current signal I of the sampling resistor R is converted into a voltage signal U 12 .

[0033] To overcome Figure 1 To overcome the shortcomings of the medium and high voltage isolation operational amplifier 12, the operational amplifier 12 in the embodiment of the present application adopts an ordinary operational amplifier, and the isolation voltage between the input and output ends> the preset voltage (for example, 12V) can meet the condition.

[0034] In an electric field, when the reference voltage is different, the voltage at a certain point is different. In electronic circuits, the metal base plate is usually used as the reference voltage, that is, the ground in the electronic circuit is the reference voltage, and the reference voltage is set to zero, so that a voltage lower than the reference voltage is a negative voltage, and a voltage higher than the reference voltage is a positive voltage. If the voltage at a certain point is positive, it means that the voltage at that point is higher than the reference voltage; if the voltage at a certain point is negative, it means that the voltage at that point is lower than the reference voltage. The voltage between each point and the reference voltage is the voltage at each point. The voltage value at a certain point in the circuit is relative. If the reference voltage is different, the voltage at each point in the circuit will also change. The voltage value between two points in the circuit is fixed and will not change due to different reference voltages, that is, it has nothing to do with the selection of the reference voltage. The reference voltage can also be selected as a specific voltage value.

[0035] Figure 1 The supply voltage VDD of the operational amplifier 12 + =12V, Figure 1 The reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier 12 is grounded (GND), and the corresponding reference voltage VDD - =0V, namely the supply voltage VDD of the operational amplifier 12 + Compared to reference voltage VDD - High 12V.

[0036] and Figure 1 Unlike the operational amplifier 12 in the embodiment of the present application, the reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier 12 is used to input the first reference voltage VDD1 - , the first reference voltage VDD1 - The output voltage HV of the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 + The absolute voltage difference △VDD1 between them is less than the tolerance voltage difference U1 of the operational amplifier 12 max , that is, VDD1 - The value range is (HV + -U1 max , H.V. + +U1 max ), for example, the reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier 12 can be connected to the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 (the corresponding voltage is recorded as HV +) connection, that is, the reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier 12 is connected to the first reference voltage VDD1-=HV + Correspondingly, the power supply terminal of the operational amplifier 12 is used to input the first power supply voltage VDD1 + , the first supply voltage VDD1 + than the first reference voltage VDD1 - The first voltage value △v1, namely VDD1, is high. + =VDD1 - +△v1. The value range of the first voltage value △v1 is 3.3V~36V, for example, the value can be 12V, at this time VDD1 + =VDD1 - +12V. With the first reference voltage VDD1 - -HV + =△VDD1 as an example, where △VDD1 is less than the withstand voltage difference U1 of the operational amplifier 12 max , if HV + The voltage to ground is positive 2000V, then VDD1 - The voltage to ground is positive 2000V+△VDD1, that is, the first reference voltage of the operational amplifier 12 is positive 2000V+△VDD1 (relative to ground), VDD1 + The voltage to ground is positive 2012V+△VDD1. The voltage IN of the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier 12 is + and the first reference voltage VDD1 - The voltage difference between + -VDD1 - =2000-2000-△VDD1=-△VDD1, the voltage difference between the voltage IN- at the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier 12 and the first reference voltage VDD1- is HV + -U-VDD1-=2000-U-2000-△VDD1=-U-△VDD1, U is the voltage difference across the sampling resistor R (i.e., the sampling voltage). In general, U<10V, that is, the voltage difference between the input and output of the operational amplifier 12 is <10V+△VDD1, and △VDD1<the withstand voltage difference U1 of the operational amplifier 12 max Therefore, a common non-high voltage isolated operational amplifier can be used, such as the withstand voltage difference U1 max It can be selected as 10V, then VDD1 - The value range is (1990, 2010) V. In an optional implementation, ΔVDD1=0. In this case, the reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier 12 has a first reference voltage VDD1 to ground. - =HV + , that is, the first reference voltage VDD1 - With HV+ Same potential, first supply voltage VDD1 + =HV + +△v1, namely the first power supply voltage VDD1 + HV + High △v1, the voltage IN of the positive input terminal of the operational amplifier 12 + and the first reference voltage VDD1 - The voltage difference between them is 0, and the voltage IN at the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier 12 is - and the first reference voltage VDD1 - The voltage difference between them is -U, so an ordinary non-high-voltage isolated operational amplifier can be used.

[0037] Furthermore, the voltage detection unit 31 may also include a photocoupler 13 .

[0038] Since the input terminal (IN + , IN - ) to ground voltage HV + 、HV + -U are both DC high voltages. After amplification, the voltage U at the output of the operational amplifier 12 12 The device receiving the detection voltage output by the voltage detection unit 31 for calculating the current I is generally a low-voltage device, so the voltage U at the output end of the operational amplifier 12 needs to be 12 High voltage isolation is performed to ensure the accuracy of current detection.

[0039] Specifically, a photocoupler 13 may be provided between the operational amplifier 12 and the output end of the voltage detection unit 31 , the input end of the photocoupler 13 is connected to the output end of the operational amplifier 12 , and the output end of the photocoupler 13 is connected to the output end of the voltage detection unit 31 .

[0040] The photoelectric coupler 13 can be a linear photocoupler, such as ISO224 series. The photoelectric coupler 13 includes a light emitter T1 and a light receiver T2. There is no electrical connection between the light emitter T1 and the light receiver T2. Information is transmitted through light intensity, and the isolation voltage can reach 10,000 to tens of thousands of volts. The output voltage U of the linear photoelectric coupler 13 is 13 and input voltage U 12 Proportional, and the ratio is adjustable, denoted as K 13 , the voltage U at the output end of the optocoupler 13 13 =K 13 *U 12 =K 13 *K 12 *U=K 13 *K 12 *R*I,U 13∝I, through circuit conversion, the current signal I of the sampling resistor R is converted into a voltage signal U 13 By detecting the voltage signal U 13 , the loop current I can be calculated.

[0041] The positive input terminal of the light emitting device T1 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier 12, and the negative input terminal and the reference potential terminal of the light emitting device T1 are respectively used to input the second reference voltage VDD2 - , the second reference voltage VDD2 - The output voltage HV of the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 + The absolute voltage difference △VDD2 between them is less than the withstand voltage difference U2 of the light emitting device T1 max , that is, VDD2 - The value range is (HV + -U2 max , H.V. + +U2 max ), for example, the negative input terminal and the reference potential terminal of the light emitter T1 can be connected to the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 (the corresponding voltage is recorded as HV + ) connection, that is, the second reference voltage VDD2 to the ground of the reference potential terminal of the light emitting device T1 - =HV + Correspondingly, the power supply terminal of the light emitting device T1 is used to input the second power supply voltage VDD2 + , the second supply voltage VDD2 + than the second reference voltage VDD2 - The second voltage value △v2, namely VDD2 + =VDD2 - +△v2. The second voltage value △v2 has a value range of 3.3V to 36V, for example, it can be 12V. At this time, VDD2 + =VDD2 - +12 V. Similarly, in an alternative implementation, ΔVDD2=0.

[0042] The reference potential terminal of the light receiver T2 is grounded (GND), and the power supply terminal of the light receiver T2 is used to input a third power supply voltage, which is a preset third voltage value (eg, 12V). The output terminal of the light receiver T2 is connected to the output terminal of the voltage detection unit 31 .

[0043] Furthermore, the voltage detection unit 31 may also include a voltage follower 14, and the photocoupler 13 is connected to the output end of the voltage detection unit 31 through the voltage follower 14. The basic principle of the voltage follower 14 is to use negative feedback to achieve the matching between the output voltage and the input voltage. The voltage follower 14 includes an amplifier and a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit compares the output signal of the amplifier with the input signal and feeds back the difference to the input end of the amplifier to maintain the stability of the output voltage.

[0044] Specifically, the positive input terminal IN of the voltage follower 14 + The positive output terminal of the photocoupler 13 and the output terminal of the voltage follower 14 are connected respectively, and the negative input terminal IN of the voltage follower 14 - The output end of the voltage follower 14 is connected to the output end of the voltage detection unit.

[0045] The reference potential terminal of the voltage follower 14 is grounded (GND), and the power supply terminal of the voltage follower 14 is used to input a fourth power supply voltage, which is a preset fourth voltage value (for example, 12V). Since the voltages of the input terminal, output terminal, and power supply terminal of the voltage follower 14 are all within 12V relative to the ground (when the third voltage value and the fourth voltage value are 12V), the voltage follower 14 can use an ordinary non-high-voltage isolated operational amplifier. The voltage U at the output terminal of the voltage follower 14 is 14 =U 13 =K 13 *U 12 =K 13 *K 12 *U=K 13 *K 12 *R*I,U 14 ∝I, through circuit conversion, the current signal I of the sampling resistor R is converted into a voltage signal U 14 By detecting the voltage signal U 14 , the loop current I can be calculated.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, considering that the loop current I is extremely weak, in order to improve the sampling accuracy, Figure 3 On the basis of the above, a tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sensor 11 is arranged before the input end of the operational amplifier 12. The TMR sensor 11 has a built-in integrated coil, an anti-external magnetic interference design, and extremely high precision. For example, the TMR-MAC005 sensor has a resolution of 150 nanoamperes (nA), which meets the micro-current sampling requirements of the ESC power supply 10.

[0047] The positive input terminal IN of the TMR sensor 11+ Connected to the input end of the sampling resistor R, the negative input end IN of the TMR sensor 11 - Connected to the output end of the sampling resistor R, the positive output end Out of the TMR sensor 11 + The positive input terminal IN of the operational amplifier 12 + Connect the negative output terminal of TMR sensor 11 to Out - The negative input terminal IN of the operational amplifier 12 - The TMR sensor 11 is a linear sensor, and the output voltage U 11 It is proportional to the input voltage U, and the ratio is adjustable, denoted by K 11 , the output voltage U of the TMR sensor 11 11 =K 11 *U. Correspondingly, the voltage U at the output of the voltage follower 14 14 =U 13 =K 13 *U 12 =K 13 *K 12 *U 11 =K 13 *K 12 *K 11 *R*I,U 14 ∝I, through circuit conversion, the current signal I of the sampling resistor R is converted into a voltage signal U 14 By detecting the voltage signal U 14 , the loop current I can be calculated.

[0048] Similar to operational amplifier 12, to overcome Figure 1 To overcome the shortcomings of the medium and high voltage isolation operational amplifier 12, the TMR sensor 11 in the embodiment of the present application adopts an ordinary linear sensor, and the isolation voltage between the input and output ends> the preset voltage (for example, 12V) can meet the condition.

[0049] Specifically, the reference potential terminal of the TMR sensor 11 is used to input the fifth reference voltage VDD5 - , the fifth reference voltage VDD5 - The output voltage HV of the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 + The absolute voltage difference △VDD5 between them is less than the tolerance voltage difference U5 of the TMR sensor 11 max , that is, VDD5 - The value range is (HV + -U5 max , H.V. + +U5 max), for example, the reference potential end of the TMR sensor 11 can be connected to the output end of the electrostatic chuck power supply 10 (the corresponding voltage is recorded as HV + ) connection, that is, the fifth reference voltage VDD5 to the ground of the reference potential terminal of the TMR sensor 11 - =HV + The power supply terminal of the TMR sensor 11 is used to input the fifth power supply voltage VDD5 + , the fifth power supply voltage VDD5 + than the fifth reference voltage VDD5 - The fifth voltage value △v5, namely VDD5, is preset at high + =VDD5 - +△v5. The fifth voltage value △v5 has a value range of 3.3V to 36V, for example, it can be 12V. At this time, VDD5 + =VDD5 - +12 V. Similarly, in an alternative implementation, ΔVDD5=0.

[0050] If HV + The voltage to ground is positive 2000V, then VDD5 - The voltage to ground is positive 2000V+△VDD5, that is, the fifth reference voltage of the TMR sensor 11 is positive 2000V+△VDD5 (relative to ground), VDD5 + The voltage to ground is positive 2012V+△VDD5. The voltage IN at the positive input terminal of the TMR sensor 11 is + and the fifth reference voltage VDD5 - The voltage difference between + -VDD5 - =2000-2000-△VDD5=-△VDD5, the voltage IN at the negative input terminal of the TMR sensor 11 - and the fifth reference voltage VDD5 - The voltage difference between + -U-VDD5 - =2000-U-2000-△VDD5=-U-△VDD5, U is the voltage difference across the sampling resistor R (i.e., the sampling voltage).

By setting the reference voltage of the reference potential terminal of the operational amplifier to the output voltage of the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply, the voltage to ground of the input terminal (input positive terminal, input negative terminal) and the output terminal of the operational amplifier are both DC high voltage, but the voltage difference between any two is very low, so the operational amplifier can use a common operational amplifier with non-high voltage isolation, which avoids the high cost of the high voltage isolation operational amplifier and the limited value of the isolation voltage. When the high voltage voltage at the output terminal of the electrostatic chuck power supply is too large, the problem of poor accuracy of current detection reduces the cost and improves the accuracy of current detection. High voltage isolation is achieved by the photoelectric coupler 13, and low-cost high voltage isolation is achieved, which ensures the accuracy of current detection. The stability of the output detection voltage is ensured by the voltage follower, thereby improving the accuracy of current detection. The TMR sensor improves the accuracy of current sampling and the reference voltage of the TMR sensor, so that a non-high-voltage isolated TMR sensor can be used, avoiding the problem of high high-voltage isolation cost. The power supply unit provides the required high-voltage power supply voltage for each device in the voltage detection unit.
