[0002] In the process of IC manufacturing, a thin oxide film is needed to be formed between the silicon substrate and other deposition layers according to special requirements. For example, in the process of manufacturing flash memory, an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) layer is needed to be formed between the control gate and the word line for isolation, so that the electrons can flow normally and the stability of the device can be improved. The oxide layer in the ONO layer is obtained by rapid thermal oxidation (RTO) process, that is, a silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer with controllable thickness and thickness uniformity is formed on the surface of silicon (Si) by rapid temperature rising and falling. The rapid thermal oxidation process is completed in a rapid thermal processing (RTP) machine.

The heating lamps are used to heat the wafer carried on the carrier disc, and the infrared temperature measuring instruments are used to monitor the temperature of the wafer in real time. In order to ensure that the thickness uniformity of the oxide film generated by the rapid thermal oxidation process is within the required range, tempMatch operation is needed to be performed on the seven infrared temperature measuring instruments in the cavity after each opening operation, that is, single-point temperature calibration is performed on the seven infrared temperature measuring instruments by a standard light source, so as to realize the re-calibration of the rapid thermal oxidation process. The specific meaning of re-calibration is that by adding appropriate offset values to the seven infrared temperature measuring instruments, the thickness uniformity of the oxide film generated by the rapid thermal oxidation process is adjusted to a suitable value.
