[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a method for optimizing a semiconductor device control system, including steps S100 to S600.

[0028] Step S100, obtaining electrode spacing parameters and device current parameters, performing dynamic analysis and correlation analysis on the electrode spacing parameters and device current parameters, and obtaining an electric field uniformity optimization factor and a current density correction factor.

[0029] In this step, the real-time electrode spacing parameters and device current parameters are obtained through sensors, and these parameters are continuously monitored using a dynamic analysis algorithm, and the electric field uniformity optimization factor and current density correction factor are calculated through correlation analysis. Specifically, the electrode spacing parameter is used to determine the distribution of the electric field, and the device current parameter is used to calculate the current density distribution.

[0030] For example, in practical applications, high-precision sensors can be used to measure the electrode spacing parameters and upload them to the control system in real time through a data acquisition system.

[0031] Step S200: optimizing the electric field uniformity in the semiconductor device using the electric field uniformity optimization factor to obtain the electric field distribution.

[0032] In this step, the electric field in the semiconductor device is adjusted by the electric field uniformity optimization factor to ensure uniform distribution of the electric field. Specifically, the electrode spacing can be adjusted according to the optimization factor to obtain the best electric field uniformity.

[0033] For example, in the semiconductor manufacturing process, the position and distance of electrodes are adjusted to achieve the best electric field distribution, thereby improving product quality.

[0034] Step S300: Based on the electric field distribution and the current density correction factor, the current density in the electroplating process is corrected for uniformity, and a current control instruction is generated.

[0035] In this step, the current density in the electroplating process is accurately corrected by the calculated electric field distribution and current density correction factor. Specifically, the current input is adjusted according to the correction factor to ensure the uniformity of the current density.

[0036] For example, in the electroplating process, the current input parameters are automatically adjusted based on the real-time measured current density data to achieve the best electroplating effect.

[0037] Step S400, obtaining the anode and cathode clamping force parameters, dynamically adjusting the anode and cathode clamping force parameters using the current control instruction, and obtaining the anode and cathode clamping force distribution.

[0038] In this step, the clamping force parameters of the cathode and anode are measured by sensors, and these parameters are dynamically adjusted using the previously generated current control instructions. Specifically, the clamping force between the cathode and anode is adjusted according to the current control instructions to optimize its distribution.

[0039] For example, the pressure of the clamping device can be adjusted in real time through an automated control system to ensure uniform distribution of the anode and cathode clamping force.

[0040] Step S500, using the anode and cathode clamping force distribution and current control instructions to perform fluid dynamic optimization on the electroplating tank, and obtain liquid level adjustment result parameters.

[0041] In this step, the fluid in the electroplating tank is optimized and regulated according to the anode and cathode clamping force distribution and the current control instructions. Specifically, the height of the liquid level is adjusted according to these parameters to ensure uniform distribution of the liquid in the electroplating tank.

[0042] For example, the liquid level in a plating tank is adjusted by an automated system to ensure uniform flow and stability of the solution.

[0043] Step S600: input the liquid level adjustment result parameters into the control system of the semiconductor device to control the stirring speed and direction of the electroplating solution.

[0044] In this step, the stirring speed and direction of the electroplating solution are optimized according to the resultant parameters of the liquid level adjustment. Specifically, the stirring device is adjusted by the control system to ensure uniform mixing of the solution.

[0045] For example, the speed and direction of the agitator can be automatically adjusted according to the real-time measured liquid level data to ensure the stability of the solution and the electroplating effect.

[0046] In this embodiment, by obtaining the electrode spacing parameters and the device current parameters, the electric field uniformity optimization factor and the current density correction factor are obtained through dynamic analysis and correlation analysis. The electric field uniformity optimization factor is used to optimize the electric field uniformity in the semiconductor device, and based on the electric field distribution and the current density correction factor, the current density in the electroplating process is corrected for uniformity, thereby generating a current control instruction. Subsequently, the cathode and cathode clamping force parameters are obtained, and the cathode and cathode clamping force parameters are dynamically adjusted using the current control instruction to obtain the cathode and cathode clamping force distribution. Finally, the electroplating tank is dynamically optimized by the cathode and cathode clamping force distribution and the current control instruction to obtain the liquid level adjustment result parameters, and based on the liquid level adjustment result parameters, the stirring speed and direction of the semiconductor device electroplating solution are adjusted. Through dynamic analysis and correlation analysis, the uniformity of the electric field and current density of semiconductor equipment can be effectively improved, the accuracy and efficiency of the electroplating process can be significantly improved, and the anode and cathode clamping force parameters can be dynamically adjusted and the fluid flow can be optimized. This helps to improve the stability of the liquid level in the plating tank and the uniformity of the electroplating solution, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment under complex working conditions, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency, and improving the problems of insufficient adjustment, slow response, and insufficient control accuracy when facing complex changes in working conditions.

[0047] Embodiment 2:

[0048] In step S100, the electrode spacing between the anode and the cathode is measured by using a position sensor to obtain an electrode spacing parameter, and the electrode adjustment device is driven to adjust the relative position of the electrodes based on the electrode spacing parameter.

[0049] The electrode spacing between the anode and the cathode is continuously measured by a position sensor, and the measurement results are uploaded to the control system in real time; specifically, high-precision position sensors can be installed on the anode and the cathode respectively to record the initial data of the electrode spacing.

[0050] For example, when the production line is initially started, the distance between the anode and the cathode is accurately measured by a position sensor, and the measured distance data is used to drive the electrode adjustment device to adjust the relative position of the electrodes.

[0051] The difference method is used to calculate the electrode spacing parameters and obtain the electrode spacing change rate.

[0052] The rate of change of the electrode spacing is calculated by applying the differential method to the continuously measured data, so as to analyze the change of the electrode spacing at different time points; specifically, the spacing change rate is obtained by performing differential processing on the spacing data at multiple consecutive time points.

[0053] For example, during the production process, the continuously measured electrode spacing data is analyzed by the differential method to detect slight changes in the electrode position in a timely manner.

[0054] The current sensor is used to continuously monitor the fluctuation amplitude, instantaneous current and average current of the semiconductor device current to obtain the device current parameters.

[0055] By installing current sensors in semiconductor devices, the current fluctuation amplitude, instantaneous current and average current can be monitored in real time to obtain detailed device current parameters; specifically, the current sensors can be installed in key parts of the device to continuously record the current parameters.

[0056] For example, in the electroplating process, high-precision current sensors are used to monitor the equipment current to ensure the accuracy of the current parameters.

[0057] The device current parameters are transformed by Fourier transform to obtain the current stability coefficient.

[0058] By applying Fourier transform to the acquired device current parameters, the frequency domain characteristics of the current are analyzed and the current stability coefficient is calculated; specifically, the device current parameters are converted from the time domain to the frequency domain through Fourier transform, and the stability coefficient is calculated based on the frequency domain characteristics.

[0059] For example, when analyzing current fluctuations, the current data is transformed into the frequency domain using Fourier transform to obtain the current stability analysis results.

[0060] The electrode spacing change rate and current stability coefficient are correlated and analyzed to generate the electric field distribution influencing factor and current dynamic response factor.

[0061] By performing correlation analysis on the electrode spacing change rate and the current stability coefficient, the relationship between the two is evaluated, and the electric field distribution influencing factor and the current dynamic response factor are generated; specifically, the influence of the electrode spacing change on the electric field distribution and the current dynamic response is analyzed through the correlation analysis method.

[0062] For example, the correlation analysis method is used to study the relationship between the change in electrode spacing and current stability, and generate optimized control factors.

[0063] The electric field distribution influencing factor is used to optimize the electrode spacing distribution to obtain the electric field uniformity optimization factor, and the current dynamic response factor is used to adjust the equipment output current to obtain the current density correction factor.

[0064] Through the electric field distribution influencing factor, the electrode spacing distribution is optimized to ensure the uniformity of the electric field and obtain the electric field uniformity optimization factor. At the same time, the output current of the equipment is adjusted using the current dynamic response factor to ensure the uniformity of the current density and obtain the current density correction factor. Specifically, the electrode spacing is adjusted according to the electric field distribution influencing factor, and the output current is adjusted according to the current dynamic response factor.

[0065] For example, during the electroplating process, the position of the electrodes and the current parameters are adjusted according to the optimization factors to ensure the uniformity of the electric field and current.

[0066] In step S200, the relative position parameters of the electrodes in the electric field uniformity optimization factor are obtained, and the electric field strength and distribution are measured by an electric field sensor to obtain initial electric field distribution data.

[0067] By obtaining the electrode relative position parameters in the electric field uniformity optimization factor, the electric field strength and distribution are measured using electric field sensors to obtain initial electric field distribution data; specifically, electric field sensors can be installed at key locations of the equipment to monitor the electric field strength in real time.

[0068] For example, before electroplating begins, the electric field strength inside the equipment is measured by an electric field sensor and the initial electric field data is recorded.

[0069] The electric field deviation value is calculated based on the electrode relative position parameters and the initial electric field distribution data. The electric field deviation value is cumulatively analyzed using the integration method to generate the electric field uniformity deviation trend.

[0070] The electric field deviation value is obtained by calculating the difference between the electrode relative position parameters and the initial electric field distribution data, and the electric field deviation value is cumulatively analyzed by the integration method to generate the electric field uniformity deviation trend; specifically, the change trend of the electric field uniformity is obtained by calculating the electric field deviation value at continuous time points.

[0071] For example, during the electroplating process, the electric field strength is continuously monitored and its deviation trend is analyzed to ensure the stability of the electric field.

[0072] According to the deviation trend of the electric field uniformity, the electrode adjustment device is driven again to adjust the relative position of the electrodes, and the adjusted electric field strength is detected.

[0073] By means of the deviation trend of the electric field uniformity, the electrode adjustment device is driven in real time to dynamically adjust the relative position of the electrodes to ensure the uniformity of the electric field strength; specifically, the position of the electrodes is adjusted in real time through the motor control system, and the adjusted electric field strength is detected by the sensor.

[0074] For example, during the production process, the electrode position is adjusted in real time through an automated system to ensure that the electric field strength is evenly distributed.

[0075] The adjusted electric field intensity is monitored through a feedback circuit to obtain corrected electric field distribution data, which is then merged with an electric field uniformity optimization factor to obtain an optimized electric field distribution.

[0076] The adjusted electric field strength is continuously monitored through the feedback circuit to obtain the corrected electric field distribution data, which is then integrated with the electric field uniformity optimization factor to obtain the final optimized electric field distribution. Specifically, the electric field distribution is monitored and corrected in real time through the feedback control system to ensure the uniformity of the electric field.

[0077] For example, during the electroplating process, the electric field distribution is monitored and adjusted in real time through the feedback system to ensure the stability and consistency of the production process.

[0078] In step S300, the electric field strength uniformity parameter in the electric field distribution is obtained, and the dynamic current distribution parameter in the current density correction factor is obtained.

[0079] By acquiring the electric field strength uniformity parameters in the electric field distribution and the dynamic current distribution parameters in the current density correction factor, the electric field and current can be precisely controlled; specifically, the key parameters of the electric field and current can be acquired through a real-time monitoring system.

[0080] For example, during the electroplating process, sensors are used to obtain real-time data on the electric field and current to ensure the accuracy of the parameters.

[0081] The electric field intensity uniformity parameters and dynamic current distribution parameters are cross-analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient calculation method to generate a current correction matrix.

[0082] By applying the Pearson correlation coefficient calculation method, the electric field strength uniformity parameters and the dynamic current distribution parameters are cross-analyzed to generate a current correction matrix to optimize the current distribution; specifically, through correlation analysis, the relationship between the electric field and the current is evaluated to generate a correction matrix.

[0083] For example, in data analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient method is used to analyze the relationship between electric field and current parameters and generate an optimized control matrix.

[0084] The singular value decomposition method is used to solve the current correction matrix to obtain the current intensity adjustment factor and the current direction optimization factor.

[0085] By applying the singular value decomposition method, the generated current correction matrix is ​​solved to obtain the current intensity adjustment factor and the current direction optimization factor, thereby achieving precise control of the current; specifically, the intensity and direction of the current are optimized through a mathematical solution method.

[0086] For example, in the electroplating process, the singular value decomposition method is used to optimize the current intensity and direction to improve production quality.

[0087] The instantaneous amplitude of the output current of the device is optimized using the current intensity adjustment factor to obtain the current intensity distribution, and the distribution direction of the device current path is corrected using the current direction optimization factor to obtain the current direction distribution.

[0088] The instantaneous amplitude of the device output current is optimized by the current intensity adjustment factor to ensure uniform distribution of the current intensity. The distribution direction of the device current path is corrected by the current direction optimization factor to obtain an optimized current direction distribution. Specifically, the current distribution is optimized by adjusting the current intensity and direction in real time.

[0089] For example, during the electroplating process, the current intensity and path direction are adjusted to ensure the stability and uniformity of the current.

[0090] A current control command is generated based on the current intensity distribution and the current direction distribution.

[0091] By combining the current intensity distribution and the current direction distribution, current control instructions are generated to achieve precise control of the current; specifically, according to the optimized current distribution, corresponding control instructions are generated to guide the operation of the equipment.

[0092] For example, during the production process, current control instructions are generated to ensure that the intensity and direction of the current are maintained at the optimal state, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0093] The steps of obtaining the electric field strength uniformity parameter in the electric field distribution and the dynamic current distribution parameter in the current density correction factor include: gridding the electric field distribution by grid division to obtain a plurality of independent grid units.

[0094] By gridding the electric field distribution, multiple independent grid units are generated to ensure accurate analysis of the electric field strength in each unit; specifically, the electric field distribution area is divided into several independent small grid units through computer simulation technology.

[0095] For example, in the electroplating process, the electric field distribution area is refined into multiple independent units through the meshing method, so as to facilitate the detailed analysis of the electric field characteristics of each unit.

[0096] The area weighted method is used to calculate the average value of the electric field intensity in each independent grid unit to obtain the grid electric field distribution data.

[0097] By applying the regional weighting method, the electric field strength data in each independent grid unit is weighted and calculated to obtain accurate grid electric field distribution data; specifically, by weighting the electric field strength data in each grid unit, accurate grid electric field distribution data is generated.

[0098] For example, when analyzing the electric field distribution, the regional weighted method is used to perform detailed calculations on the electric field data of each grid unit to ensure the accuracy of the data.

[0099] The maximum deviation value of the electric field strength between grids is calculated based on the grid electric field distribution data, and the electric field strength uniformity parameter is calculated based on the maximum deviation value and the average value of the electric field strength using the weighted difference method.

[0100] By analyzing the grid electric field distribution data, the maximum deviation value of the electric field strength between grids is calculated, and the electric field strength uniformity parameter is calculated based on the maximum deviation value and the average value of the electric field strength using the weighted difference method; specifically, the uniformity parameter of the electric field strength is calculated by performing a detailed analysis of the grid data.

[0101] For example, during the electroplating process, the maximum deviation value of the electric field strength is calculated through grid data analysis, and the weighted difference method is applied to determine the electric field uniformity parameters.

[0102] The instantaneous current and average current of the equipment are processed in sections according to the current density correction factor to obtain the current frequency distribution data. The current frequency distribution data is analyzed in the frequency domain by the short-time Fourier transform method to obtain the dynamic current distribution parameters.

[0103] By segmenting the instantaneous current and average current of the equipment according to the current density correction factor, detailed current frequency distribution data are obtained, and these data are analyzed in the frequency domain through the short-time Fourier transform method to obtain dynamic current distribution parameters; specifically, accurate current frequency distribution is obtained by carefully analyzing the instantaneous current and average current data.

[0104] For example, during the electroplating process, the current frequency distribution data is analyzed by the short-time Fourier transform method to determine the dynamic current distribution parameters of the equipment.

[0105] In step S400, the anode and cathode clamping force parameters of the anode and cathode clamping device are obtained, and the contact pressure of the anode and cathode is measured in real time by a pressure sensor to obtain a contact pressure deviation value, wherein the anode and cathode clamping force parameters include initial clamping force parameters and pressure distribution.

[0106] The initial clamping force parameters and pressure distribution of the anode and cathode are measured in real time by the pressure sensor installed on the clamping device to obtain the deviation value of the contact pressure. Specifically, the sensor continuously monitors the contact pressure and uploads the data to the control system.

[0107] For example, during the electroplating process, high-precision pressure sensors are used to measure the contact pressure between the anode and cathode in real time to ensure the real-time and accuracy of the data.
