The wafer chuck is controlled as a whole by using cooling water + heater + temperature sensor to control the temperature of the wafer. The temperature control response of the resistance wire heating method is slow; the accuracy is low, which will cause the temperature overshoot to be too large. In addition, affected by the surrounding water vapor, there is heat loss at the edge of the wafer chuck. Due to the overall temperature control method, the wafer chuck cannot perform separate temperature control on the local area, which will cause the temperature control effect of the edge of the wafer chuck to be worse than that of the center area of ​​the wafer chuck, and the temperature control temperature of the wafer chuck surface in the radial direction is uneven.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a conventional wafer chuck for photolithography process is provided with a heater 01 in the core area, and a temperature sensor 02 is provided around the heater 01; a heater 03 is provided in the edge area, and a temperature sensor 04 is provided around the heater 03; the heater 01 and the heater 03 are heated by a resistance wire, and the temperature of the wafer chuck is controlled by this method, thereby controlling the temperature of the wafer, and the temperature control range of the wafer chuck is 22℃~22.1℃. However, as Figure 2As shown, the temperature control accuracy of the resistance wire is low, and the temperature overshoot will be too large. The overshoot can reach 100mK in the figure; the heating speed of the resistance wire is slow, which will lead to slow temperature control response. It takes 25s for the temperature to reach the steady state in the figure, and it takes 5s for the temperature to reach the overshoot temperature. At the same time, due to the slow temperature control response and low accuracy of the resistance wire, if the temperature is controlled by different zones, there may be hysteresis and mutual interference, so the current wafer suction cup usually adopts the overall temperature control method. In addition, since there is an area on the outer ring of the wafer suction cup to recover the residual water droplets and bubbles on the edge, the existence of this area will cause heat loss at the edge of the wafer suction cup. Since the current wafer suction cup cannot perform separate temperature control on the local area, the temperature control effect of the edge of the wafer suction cup is worse than that of the center area of ​​the wafer suction cup (wherein, the control accuracy of the wafer suction cup in the core area: + / -20mK; the control accuracy of the wafer suction cup in the edge area: + / -60mK), and the temperature control temperature of the wafer suction cup surface along the radial direction is uneven. In addition, when the wafer is patterned, the surface of the wafer will be exposed, and the temperature of each exposure area will affect the overlay accuracy of the subsequent wafer. Moreover, due to factors such as the temperature of the wafer chuck and the adjacent exposure area, the temperature of each exposure area is not exactly the same. Since the current wafer chuck cannot perform separate temperature control on local areas, it will also affect the overlay accuracy of the wafer. Therefore, the present application provides a wafer chuck and a machine for use in a photolithography process, which can improve the temperature control response speed and temperature control accuracy, and can achieve separate temperature control of local areas, thereby ensuring the uniformity of temperature control and improving the wafer overlay accuracy.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a wafer suction cup, which may include: a wafer support layer and a temperature control layer;

[0031] The temperature control layer is located below the wafer support layer; the temperature control layer includes a carrier, at least one first controller, at least one second controller and at least one temperature sensor;

[0032] The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the surface of the wafer chuck; the surface of the wafer chuck is the surface of the wafer support layer used to support the wafer;

[0033] The surface of the carrier plate close to the wafer support layer includes a middle area and an edge area; the middle area is provided with a first semiconductor temperature control device array; the edge area is provided with a second semiconductor temperature control device array;

[0034] The first controller is used to control the first semiconductor temperature control device array to compensate the temperature of each exposure area according to the temperature of each exposure area in the middle area of ​​the wafer suction cup surface and the target temperature of each exposure area; each exposure area corresponds to a preset graphic area of ​​the wafer; the second controller is used to control the second semiconductor temperature control device array to regulate the temperature of the edge area of ​​the wafer suction cup surface.

[0035] This embodiment does not limit the specific type of the carrier, as long as it can carry the first semiconductor temperature control device array and the second semiconductor temperature control device array. This embodiment does not limit the specific number of the first semiconductor temperature control device array, as long as it can cover the middle area. It should be noted that the greater the density of the first semiconductor temperature control device, the better the local temperature control effect.

[0036] This embodiment does not limit the specific connection method between the first controller and the first semiconductor temperature control device array. For example, the temperature control layer may include a first controller; each first semiconductor temperature control device in the first semiconductor temperature control device array is connected in parallel; the first controller is electrically connected to the first semiconductor temperature control device array; or the temperature control layer may include multiple first controllers; each first semiconductor temperature control device in the first semiconductor temperature control device array is electrically connected to the first controller one by one. It should be noted that the former is to control each first semiconductor temperature control device in parallel through a first controller; the latter is that each first semiconductor temperature control device is controlled by the first controller connected thereto.

[0037] This embodiment does not limit the specific connection method between the second controller and the second semiconductor temperature control device array. For example, the temperature control layer may include a second controller; each second semiconductor temperature control device in the second semiconductor temperature control device array is connected in series; the second controller is electrically connected to the second semiconductor temperature control device array; the temperature control layer may include a second controller; each second semiconductor temperature control device in the second semiconductor temperature control device array is connected in parallel; the second controller is electrically connected to the second semiconductor temperature control device array; the temperature control layer may include multiple second controllers; each second semiconductor temperature control device in the second semiconductor temperature control device array is electrically connected to the second controller one by one. It should be noted that the purpose of setting the second semiconductor temperature control device in the edge area is mainly to optimize the temperature of the edge area affected by water vapor recovery. Therefore, the edge area can adopt an overall temperature control method or a local individual temperature control method.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to improve the flexibility of temperature control, the temperature control layer of this embodiment may also include: a water cooling plate; the water cooling plate is located below the carrier plate. Further, the water cooling plate of this embodiment may include a middle area and an edge area; the middle area is provided with a first pipe; the edge area is provided with a second pipe. It should be noted that by providing different water cooling pipes for different partitions, the temperature control can be optimized according to the characteristics of different areas.

[0039] The present embodiment does not limit the specific type of the temperature sensor, as long as it can detect the temperature on the surface of the wafer suction cup. The present embodiment does not limit the specific location of the temperature sensor. For example, the temperature sensor can be located between the carrier and the water cooling plate; the temperature sensor can also be located below the water cooling plate. The present embodiment does not limit the specific installation method of the temperature sensor. For example, the temperature sensor can be set on the surface of the carrier away from the wafer support layer; when the temperature sensor is a thin film platinum thermistor, the thin film platinum thermistor can be placed between the carrier and the water cooling plate. Among them, the thin film platinum thermistor uses the thermoelectric effect of platinum to measure temperature. The present embodiment does not limit the specific type of the carrier film, as long as it can carry the temperature sensor.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of temperature detection, the temperature control layer in this embodiment may include a plurality of temperature sensors; the temperature sensors constitute a plurality of annular temperature sensor arrays; and each annular temperature sensor array is arranged in sequence along the radial direction.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to enhance the thermal conductivity of the surface of the wafer chuck, the wafer support layer in this embodiment may include a silicon carbide layer. It should be noted that silicon carbide (SiC) is a material with excellent thermal conductivity.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to achieve the best effect of field-by-field temperature control for each exposure area, the first controller in this embodiment can be used to control the first semiconductor temperature control device array to compensate the temperature of each exposure area according to the temperature of each exposure area on the surface of the wafer suction cup and the relationship curve between the target temperature of each exposure area and the target wafer overlay accuracy. It should be noted that the target temperature of each exposure area corresponding to the target overlay accuracy can be determined based on the relationship curve between the target temperature of each exposure area and the target wafer overlay accuracy. The first controller controls the first semiconductor temperature control device array to compensate the temperature of each exposure area so that the temperature of each exposure area reaches the target temperature, thereby achieving the target wafer overlay accuracy.

[0043] In addition, it should be noted that the relationship curve between the target temperature of each exposure area and the target wafer overlay accuracy is obtained in advance through multiple tests. The test steps specifically include:

[0044] The first step is to place a temperature measuring wafer on the surface of the wafer chuck to measure the temperature of the surface of the wafer chuck before exposure; according to the temperature, the first semiconductor temperature control device array and the second semiconductor temperature control device array are adjusted to keep the temperature of the entire wafer chuck surface at a temperature value between 21.98°C and 22.02°C;

[0045] The second step is to place the sample wafer on the surface of the wafer chuck, expose the sample wafer twice, measure the temperature of the surface of the wafer chuck after the second exposure by a temperature sensor, and record the temperature of each exposure area;

[0046] The third step is to calculate the wafer overlay accuracy according to the degree of deviation of the wafer pattern after the second exposure from the wafer pattern after the first exposure;

[0047] By repeating the above steps, an accurate relationship curve between the temperature of each exposure field and the overlay accuracy can be obtained.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, the present application respectively arranges a first semiconductor temperature control device array and a second semiconductor temperature control device array in the middle area and the edge area. The semiconductor temperature control device used performs temperature control based on the Peltier effect, has a fast temperature control response, reaches a steady state in about 5 seconds, and has a high temperature control accuracy, which can reach + / -10mK; the first semiconductor temperature control device array and the second semiconductor temperature control device array are respectively controlled by a first controller and a second controller, and a zoned temperature control method is adopted, which can optimize the temperature control according to the characteristics of different regions to ensure the uniformity of temperature control; the first semiconductor temperature control device array can optimize the temperature control compensation field by field for different exposure areas in the middle area, which can improve the wafer overlay accuracy.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application provides another wafer suction cup, which may include: a wafer support layer and a temperature control layer;

[0050] The temperature control layer is located below the wafer support layer; the temperature control layer includes a carrier, at least one first controller, at least one second controller and at least one temperature sensor;

[0051] The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the surface of the wafer chuck; the surface of the wafer chuck is the surface of the wafer support layer used to support the wafer;
