For example, in the preparation of flash memory, an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) layer needs to be formed between the control gate and the word line for isolation to allow the normal flow of electrons and improve the stability of the device. The oxide layer in the ONO layer needs to be obtained by rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process. By rapidly raising and lowering the temperature, a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) with controllable thickness and thickness uniformity is formed on the surface of silicon (Si).

In order to ensure that the thickness uniformity of the oxide film generated by the rapid thermal oxidation process is within the required range, after each chamber opening operation, it is necessary to perform a tempMatch operation on the 7 infrared thermometers in the chamber, that is, to perform single-point temperature calibration on the 7 infrared thermometers through a standard light source to achieve recalibration of the rapid thermal oxidation process.

This process requires process engineers to perform multiple rapid thermal oxidation processes to confirm whether the direction of their debugging based on feeling is correct, and the adjustment amount is heavily dependent on the process engineer's own experience and feeling, which is not conducive to promotion on the client side.

[0034] To solve the above technical problems, as one aspect of the present invention, a temperature compensation method for a process chamber is provided. The process chamber comprises a support base for supporting a substrate, a heater, and a plurality of temperature measuring instruments sequentially arranged along the radial direction of the support base, such as Figure 2 As shown, the temperature compensation method includes:

[0035] Step S1: for each thermometer, determine the first temperature compensation value offset corresponding to the thermometer according to the film thickness value of the film layer at the corresponding position of the thermometer and the temperature sensitivity value δ of the process chamber. i (i=1,2,…n, where n is the number of thermometers); wherein the film layer is formed on the substrate by controlling the heater by multiple thermometers at the initial set temperature; the temperature sensitivity value δ refers to the thickness change of the film layer under unit temperature change;

[0036] Step S2: calculate the difference Δd between the film thickness value corresponding to each temperature measuring instrument and the average value of multiple film thickness values. i , the difference Δr between the uniform value of the film layer and the preset uniform value of the film layer, and the first temperature compensation value offset corresponding to each temperature measuring instrument i Input the pre-trained temperature compensation model to obtain the second temperature compensation value Δt corresponding to each thermometer i ;

[0037] Step S3: for each thermometer, obtain a target temperature compensation value ΔT corresponding to the thermometer according to the first temperature compensation value and the second temperature compensation value corresponding to the thermometer. i .

[0038] In the temperature compensation method for a process chamber provided by the present invention, firstly, according to the difference Δd corresponding to each temperature measuring instrument, i Preliminarily determine the first temperature compensation value offset corresponding to each thermometer i (corresponding to the step of calculating the temperature compensation value in the related art), and then determining the second temperature compensation value Δt corresponding to each thermometer based on the neural network algorithm according to the previously calculated data i(corresponding to the steps in the related art where process engineers enlarge and reduce the temperature compensation value according to their own understanding), and finally according to the first temperature compensation value offset i and the second temperature compensation value Δt i Determine the target temperature compensation value ΔT used to compensate the thermometer i .

[0039] The temperature compensation method for a process chamber provided by the present invention can find a target temperature compensation value ΔT that meets the requirements by only one film deposition process and debugging. i , saving the consumption of test wafers and simplifying the machine operation required after each tempMatch operation. In addition, the temperature compensation method provided by the present invention uses a neural network algorithm to replace the process engineer's operation of selectively enlarging and reducing the temperature compensation value according to his own understanding, which can realize the machine's automatic determination of the temperature compensation value, thereby improving the machine debugging efficiency, and enhancing the machine's production capacity and user experience.

[0040] As an optional implementation of the present invention, the preset film layer uniformity value (ie, the target value of film thickness uniformity) may be set to 0.3%.

[0045] Considering that the use scenario of the neural network algorithm in the present invention is not complicated (the so-called complexity refers to the factors in the scenario that affect the same input but the system will give different outputs. For example, in autonomous driving, the same destination is input, but there are often some unexpected situations on the road, such as pedestrians suddenly rushing out, and the car next to you suddenly not obeying the traffic rules, resulting in a different path to the destination each time. For example, in the image recognition task, to recognize the same face, the light will cause different light and dark areas, and different accessories on the face (such as wearing different glasses, changing hairstyles, etc.) will cause different recognition results. In the current scenario, the same offset value is input, and the film thickness value obtained after the chamber runs the RTO process must be the same, or fluctuates within a very small range. The conditions for each RTO process operation are also the same, so it can be considered that this use scenario is not complicated), so the fully connected neural network algorithm with a relatively simple structure is selected, and the deep convolutional neural network with a large number of layers, ResNet and other neural network algorithms with more complex structures are not considered.
