Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of thin film preparation and close-space sublimation deposition system, and in particular to a residual material detection device and method based on the close-space sublimation deposition system. Background Art
[0002] As a cutting-edge thin film preparation method, near-space sublimation technology is increasingly widely used in the semiconductor industry, mainly due to its unique advantages: the prepared semiconductor films are of excellent quality, not only with high purity and few defects, but also with excellent electrical and optical properties; at the same time, this technology can achieve extremely high deposition rates, up to 5000mm / h at peak, which is much faster than traditional thin film deposition methods, greatly shortening the production cycle and improving production efficiency. In addition, the near-space sublimation deposition system is relatively simple to build, and does not require complex and expensive equipment support, which effectively reduces production costs, making this technology highly competitive in large-scale industrial production.
[0003] However, despite the many advantages of the near-space sublimation deposition system, it also faces challenges that cannot be ignored in practical applications, especially the problem of material monitoring. At present, the mainstream near-space sublimation system generally uses a graphite crucible as the material source system. This design shows good stability and durability under high temperature environment. But precisely because of its high temperature working environment (usually up to hundreds or even thousands of degrees Celsius), it becomes extremely difficult or even impossible to install a material detection device directly inside the crucible. The high temperature environment will not only damage general sensors, but also interfere with the accuracy of the detection signal, making it difficult to achieve the goal of real-time and accurate monitoring of the amount of remaining material in the crucible.
[0004] This technical bottleneck directly leads to the "black box" phenomenon in the production process, that is, operators can only rely on empirical formulas or historical data to make rough material estimates, but cannot obtain immediate and accurate material feedback information. This not only increases the uncertainty in the production process, which may lead to premature depletion of materials and interruption of production, or waste caused by excess materials, but also affects the stability and consistency of product quality. In modern industrial production that relies heavily on precise control and efficient management, this lack of real-time monitoring capability is undoubtedly a significant shortcoming.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to provide a residual material detection device and method that can effectively detect and monitor the residual material in the crucible in a close-space sublimation deposition system. Summary of the invention

[0033] Embodiment 1: like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a residual material detection device based on a close-space sublimation deposition system, which adopts a laser ranging device 1 instead of a general sensor, and calculates the residual material by processing the distance information of the upper surface of the material obtained by laser ranging, thereby realizing real-time detection and monitoring of the material.
[0034] The present embodiment provides a residual material detection device and detection method based on a near-space sublimation deposition system, including a laser ranging device 1, a data processing device 2 and a sublimation deposition device 4. The laser ranging device 1 is used to emit laser light and receive reflected laser light, and to process and calculate the information of the emitted laser light and the reflected laser light to obtain the required distance information, and output the distance information; the data processing device 2 is used to receive the distance information output by the laser ranging device 1, and to display and output the information required for monitoring the residual material after data processing again, so as to achieve the purpose of material detection and monitoring, and the data processing device 2 will process and display the distance information obtained in real time at the corresponding time, thus achieving the effect of real-time monitoring; the sublimation deposition device 4 is used to complete the sublimation of materials in the near-space sublimation deposition system to prepare thin films for the workpiece 6 to be processed. These devices work together to achieve the detection and monitoring of material information in the near-space sublimation deposition system.
[0035] It should be noted that the near-space sublimation deposition system mentioned in this embodiment is a coating system that uses physical vapor deposition technology to deposit high-quality thin films on the workpiece substrate. It is necessary to place the coating material (material) in a vacuum or low vacuum environment, place the solid coating material on a heating device, sublimate it into a gaseous state by heating, and diffuse the sublimated gaseous material in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere, and after a short distance of transportation, reach the surface of the workpiece substrate for deposition and solidification to form the required film. The detection device provided in this embodiment realizes the detection of the remaining amount of the material based on this system, so the specific implementation method of this system and the required component models are not limited, as long as it can support the technical effect of detecting and monitoring the remaining amount of the material of this device.
[0036] The present embodiment provides a residual material detection device based on a close-space sublimation deposition system, as a preferred implementation, further comprising a workpiece conveying device 3, which is used to place and drive the workpiece 6 to be processed in the close-space sublimation deposition system, and enable the workpiece 6 to be processed to complete thin film preparation during the working process. During the working process, the workpieces 6 to be processed will be placed thereon at equal distances, and the workpiece conveying device 3 will drive these workpieces to be processed 6 at a uniform speed, so that they can complete thin film preparation during the transportation process. The workpiece conveying device 3 will work in coordination with the laser ranging device 1, and whenever there is a gap between the workpiece 6 to be processed and the position of the laser ranging device 1 on the workpiece conveying device 3, the laser ranging device 1 will emit a laser and complete the above work through the light-transmitting gap on the workpiece conveying device 3.
[0037] The present embodiment provides a residual material detection device based on a close-space sublimation deposition system. As a preferred implementation, a laser distance measuring device 1 includes a signal modulator, a laser sensor and a distance calculator, and the signal modulator and the laser sensor are electrically connected; the laser generating end of the laser sensor sends the modulated light modulated by the signal modulator, and collects the reflected laser through the laser receiving end of the laser sensor and converts it into an electrical signal and inputs it into the distance calculator. The distance calculator processes the obtained electrical signal to obtain distance information, and sends the distance information to the data processing device 2; wherein the distance calculator includes a phase detector, a counter and a controller, and the phase detector and the counter are both communicatively connected to the controller; the phase detector measures the phase difference between the modulated light and the reflected laser and sends it to the first input end of the controller, the controller sends the phase difference information to the counter, the counter obtains the corresponding number of sinusoidal wave cycles according to the phase difference, and returns it to the second input end of the controller, the controller processes the received number of cycles information into distance information, and sends it to the data processing device 2. The laser ranging device 1 here determines the distance by modulating the frequency of the emitted laser and measuring the phase difference between the reflected light beam and the emitted light beam; and because its distance calculation involves the wavelength and phase delay of the modulated light, a phase-type laser rangefinder can be preferably used, which can integrate the above-mentioned components and realize the above-mentioned various functions, and has the advantage of high measurement accuracy, and is particularly suitable for the working environment of a near-space sublimation deposition system. Its accuracy can reach the millimeter level, and it can fully realize the accurate measurement of the change in material remainder.
[0038] The present embodiment provides a residual material detection device based on a close-space sublimation deposition system. As a preferred implementation, the crucible includes a crucible body 7 and a crucible cover 8. The crucible body 7 is used to place materials and heat them. The crucible cover 8 is used to cover the opening of the crucible body 7 and help to complete uniform thin film preparation. A laser incident port is provided on the crucible cover 8 corresponding to the light-transmitting gap to provide a path for the laser to enter the crucible body 7, so that the laser beam constitutes an optical path from the laser generating end of the laser ranging device 1 to the material surface in the sublimation deposition device 4 and returns.
[0039] The present embodiment provides a residual material detection device and detection method based on a near-space sublimation deposition system. As a preferred implementation, multiple laser sensors are provided, and each laser sensor is evenly arranged, and the laser generating end of each laser sensor is arranged corresponding to the laser incident port. The multiple laser sensors are provided here to achieve a more comprehensive detection of the material surplus. This is because in the working environment of the near-space sublimation deposition system, the sublimation consumption of the material is often uneven, with slow consumption on both sides and fast consumption in the middle, which will cause the material surface in the crucible body 7 to often appear uneven, and generally present a "U" shape, which will cause a single material surplus detection result to cause the staff to misjudge the material surplus. Therefore, by setting multiple groups of laser sensors, multiple groups of values on the material surface can be obtained, so as to complete the material surplus detection more accurately; and when there are enough laser sensors, the data processing device 2 can establish a material surplus surface model at the corresponding moment according to the distance information returned by the laser ranging device 1, so as to achieve extremely high-precision material surplus monitoring.
[0040] This embodiment provides a residual material detection device and detection method based on a near-space sublimation deposition system. As a preferred implementation, the workpiece conveying equipment 3 includes multiple groups of roller assemblies 5 for driving the workpieces to be processed 6 placed thereon; wherein each group of roller assemblies 5 is evenly arranged in the same horizontal plane to facilitate the smooth and uniform transportation of the workpieces to be processed 6.
[0041] This embodiment provides a residual material detection device and detection method based on a near-space sublimation deposition system. As a preferred implementation, the laser distance measuring device 1 is also connected to an alarm device in communication. When the distance information obtained by the laser distance measuring device 1 is less than a preset value, the alarm device outputs an alarm signal. The preset value referred to here exists in a numerical range where the distance between the upper surface of the material and the laser generating end is close to the distance between the bottom of the crucible body 7 and the laser generating end. The preset value can be set within this range. When the distance information obtained by the laser distance measuring device 1 is less than the preset value set at this time, a start signal will be output to the alarm device. The alarm device receives this start signal and starts working, and issues an alarm to remind the staff to stop heating and replenish materials.
[0042] Embodiment 2: like Figure 2-4 As shown, the residual material detection method based on the close-space sublimation deposition system provided in this embodiment is implemented based on the residual material detection device based on the close-space sublimation deposition system in any one of Embodiment 1. The residual material detection method provided in this embodiment may include but is not limited to the following steps: S100. Obtain first initial distance information and second initial distance information transmitted by the laser ranging device, wherein the first initial distance information and the second initial distance information are both measured by the laser ranging device before entering the working process, the first initial distance information is used to characterize the distance between the laser generating end of the laser ranging device and the bottom of the crucible, and the second initial distance information is used to characterize the distance between the laser generating end of the laser ranging device and the upper surface of the material in the crucible before entering the working process.
[0043] In step S100, the first initial distance information and the second initial distance information are obtained by using a laser distance measuring device, which serves as a reference in subsequent work processes and provides an initial numerical basis for subsequent detection and calculation.
[0044] S200. Acquire a plurality of first distance information transmitted by the laser ranging device, wherein any first distance information is obtained by collecting reflected laser light after the near-space sublimation deposition system completes thin film preparation of at least one workpiece to be processed, when the laser ranging device emits laser light to the sublimation deposition device.
[0045] In step S200, a number of first distance information are obtained by using a laser ranging device, and are compared and calculated with the initial distance information obtained in S100 as variable data in a working process, so as to obtain the first distance information of the upper surface of the material after the near-space sublimation deposition system completes the thin film preparation of at least one workpiece to be processed, the material remaining at this time, the material consumption rate and other information, and are recorded and visualized by a data processing device, so that the residual material detection method provided in this embodiment can ensure that the detection and monitoring of the material remaining can be completed at all times.
[0046] The first distance information will be updated each time after the film preparation of at least one workpiece to be processed is completed, and information such as the material consumption rate can be calculated based on the previous first distance information combined with the current first distance information; the first distance information is continuously updated until the working process is completed or there is insufficient material remaining in the crucible body.
[0047] S300. According to the first initial distance information, the second initial distance information and a plurality of first distance information, determine the remaining height of the material in the crucible after the close-space sublimation deposition system completes the thin film preparation of at least one workpiece to be processed, and visualize the remaining height.
[0048] In step S300, the first initial distance information can be used as a reference value, and the second initial distance information can be used as an initial value. At this time, the close-space sublimation deposition system has not started working, and this state is defined as the initial position. This moment is the initial moment. The material consumption height at this time can be calculated based on the first distance information and the reference value obtained after the close-space sublimation deposition system completes the thin film preparation of at least one workpiece to be processed, and the remaining height of the material in the crucible at this time can be calculated based on the initial value and the material consumption height.
[0049] During the working process of the close-space sublimation deposition system, the first distance information obtained each time is recorded by the data processing device, and after the working process is completed, a ts function image about the first distance information can be generated based on these data, so that the staff can make an overall judgment and obtain information about the working process. Among them, it is defined that: the first initial distance information is s1, the second initial distance information is s2, the first distance information is s3, the initial time is t0, and the time after the close-space sublimation deposition system completes the film preparation of at least one workpiece to be processed is t1-tn.
[0050] In an achievable design, the laser ranging device can continuously emit laser light. Based on this point, the residual material detection method provided in this embodiment can also include: Acquire a plurality of second distance information transmitted by the laser ranging device, wherein any second distance information is obtained by collecting reflected laser light when the laser ranging device emits laser light to the workpiece to be processed and the workpiece to be processed is prepared as a thin film in the close-space sublimation deposition system; According to the first initial distance information, the second initial distance information, the plurality of first distance information and the plurality of second distance information, the flatness of the workpiece to be processed is determined and visually displayed.
[0051] The second distance information is used to characterize the distance information between the laser generating end of the laser ranging device and the upper surface of the workpiece to be processed.
[0052] During the operation of the near-space sublimation deposition system, each time the second distance information is obtained, it is recorded by the data processing equipment, and after the operation is completed, a ts function image of the first distance information and the second distance information can be generated based on these data. In its function image, it is defined that the second distance information is s4. On this function image, s4 is displayed at the disconnection point at each moment of t0-tn, so that the function image forms a continuous piecewise function, and under normal circumstances, the function image corresponding to s4 should form a piecewise horizontal line with a fixed s value. If its s value changes, it means that the surface of the workpiece to be processed is uneven and has defects. The staff can judge the surface flatness of the workpiece to be processed based on this image, and choose to stop the system, perform inspection and replacement, etc.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
