Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of chip pushing technology, in particular to a semiconductor quartz tube built-in chip pushing device. Background Art
[0002] Semiconductor quartz tube is a key component widely used in the field of semiconductor manufacturing. It is mainly made of high-purity quartz material. With its excellent physical and chemical properties, it plays an important role in the high-temperature process of chip production. The built-in pusher device of the semiconductor quartz tube is a tool used in the annealing and loading process of semiconductor materials. Its structure is mainly a pusher. The pusher can be inserted into the quartz tube along the inner wall of the quartz tube. It is a core automation tool for accurately transmitting and positioning silicon wafers. Its working principle revolves around mechanical transmission and intelligent control to achieve batch and high-precision process processing of silicon wafers, and a slot is provided at the end of the pusher that extends into the quartz tube to clamp the material sheet.
[0003] Existing methods use a pusher to push a quartz tray carrying silicon wafers into a quartz tube for heat treatment. Due to the exponential relationship between the thickness of the silicon wafer oxide layer and temperature, the oxidation rate at 1000°C is approximately 0.1 nm / s. A temperature deviation of ±1°C results in a ±1% deviation in oxide layer thickness. When the axial temperature difference in the constant temperature zone is controlled within ±1°C, the oxidation process yield increases from 85% to 98%, and the percentage of thickness defects due to non-constant temperature zone treatment decreases from 12% to less than 1%. Therefore, during heat treatment, a pusher is required to precisely push the silicon wafers into the constant temperature zone of the quartz tube. Most existing equipment measures the constant temperature zone within the quartz tube by simply moving a thermocouple. However, this makes it difficult to locate the detector precisely in the actual position of the silicon wafers. The stacked spacing between the silicon wafers in the quartz boat is only 5-10 mm, making it difficult for the thermocouple to penetrate the gap between the wafers. Consequently, the temperature difference between the upper and lower wafers can reach as high as 2-3°C, which can be ignored and affect the uniformity of subsequent wafer heating.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a semiconductor quartz tube built-in pusher device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0036] In this embodiment, when the silicon wafer needs to be pushed into the interior of the quartz tube for heating treatment, in order to ensure that the silicon wafer entering the quartz tube is heated in a constant temperature zone, the high temperature furnace 201 is first started to heat the quartz tube body 203, and then the quartz boats 401 loaded with the test silicon wafer and the silicon wafer to be heated are placed in the following positions: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the two sets of clamping members are arranged such that the two trapezoidal blocks 407 are inserted into the corresponding rectangular grooves 403 to realize the positioning of the two sets of quartz boats 401. The quartz tube body 203 is heated to a predetermined temperature by the controller 202. Figure 1 The two test silicon wafers shown are inserted into the interior of the corresponding quartz boat 401, and then the servo motor 503 is started to drive the driving rod 504 to rotate, thereby driving the eccentric wheel 505 to rotate, so that the outer surface of the eccentric wheel 505 rotates to a position separated from the outer surface of the pressure frame 501, thereby shortening the second spring 507, driving the pressure frame 501 to move toward the direction of the corresponding quartz boat 401, thereby driving the cross block 517 to move forward and insert it into the interior of the corresponding slot 402, wherein, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the cross section of the cross block 517 is consistent with the cross section of the slot 402, which is to facilitate the connection between the cross block 517 and the slot 402. At this time, the positioning groove 512 is just moved to the position corresponding to the round head positioning tube 510, and as shown in FIG. Figure 11As shown, the outer edge of the positioning groove 512 is an arc surface. When the round-head positioning tube 510 corresponds to the positioning groove 512, the round-head positioning tube 510 falls into the interior of the positioning groove 512 under the action of its own gravity, thereby limiting the position of the hollow rod 511. Then, the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 515 can be started to extend, driving the inner screw tube 514 to move forward, thereby driving the threaded rod 513 to rotate until the cross block 517 rotates to a position perpendicular to the slot 402, thus achieving the connection between the cross block 517 and the slot 402. Then, the staff can start the electric push rod 410 corresponding to the quartz boat 401 to extend it, drive the movable plate 411 to move forward, thereby drive the rotating plate 413 to move forward, and then drive the corresponding trapezoidal block 407 to move forward and move out of the rectangular groove 403. When the movable connecting piece 412 moves to a position where it does not contact the outer surface of the connecting rod 307, it will rotate downward under the action of its own gravity, thereby driving the support frame 404 connected to the movable connecting piece 412 to rotate downward, and then driving the movable connecting piece 412 to rotate downward. Figure 8 The trapezoidal block 407 shown rotates clockwise downward, thereby separating the trapezoidal block 407 from the quartz boat 401 , making it easier to push the quartz boat 401 into the interior of the quartz tube body 203 later.

The detection component 2 also includes a high-temperature furnace 201. The quartz tube body 203 is arranged inside the high-temperature furnace 201.

The internal movable sleeve of the mounting frame 305 is provided with a rotating shaft 306, and a connecting rod 307 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 306, wherein the outer surfaces of the two support frames 404 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 307, and the bottoms of the two extension rods 409 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 307, and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 306 is fixedly sleeved with a driven gear ring 308, and the outer surface of the driven gear ring 308 is meshed with the active gear ring 311.

[0038] In this embodiment, the forward and reverse motor 302 can be started to drive the screw rod 303 to rotate, thereby pushing the movable frame 304 to move forward, thereby pushing the threaded rod 513 to move forward slowly, and then pushing the cross block 517 to move forward, thereby pushing the quartz boat 401 to move forward, enter the interior of the quartz tube body 203, and push the pusher body 204 set in the quartz tube body 203 to move forward, and at the same time start the infrared thermal imager 408 to shoot the temperature distribution of the test silicon wafer surface in the quartz tube body 203, and extract the temperature difference data between the center and edge of the silicon wafer. When the rotation of the forward and reverse motors 302 is continued for more than 5 minutes, the forward and reverse motors 302 can be started in the reverse direction to move the test silicon wafer in the quartz boat 401 out of the high-temperature furnace 201 and reset to the surface of the corresponding support frame 404 until the trapezoidal block 407 is inserted into the corresponding rectangular slot 403 again. Then the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 515 is started to shorten it, driving the threaded rod 513 to rotate in the reverse direction and reset to a position completely corresponding to the slot 402. Then the servo motor 503 can be started in the reverse direction to drive the eccentric wheel 505 to reset and squeeze the anti-pressure frame 501, so that the second spring 507 is pulled and extended, thereby driving the hollow rod 511 to move away from the movable frame 304. Figure 11As shown, the outer surface of the positioning groove 512 is an arc surface, the purpose of which is to facilitate the removal of the round-head positioning tube 510 from the interior of the positioning groove 512, thereby driving the threaded rod 513 to move backward, so that the cross block 517 moves out of the interior of the card slot 402, and then the forward and reverse motor 302 is continued to be started to drive the cross block 517 to a position away from the card slot 402. At the same time, the electric push rod 410 corresponding to the test silicon wafer is started again to shorten it, driving the movable plate 411 connected thereto to move toward the interior of the extension rod 409, thereby causing the corresponding rotating plate 413 to rotate upward and reset until the trapezoidal block 407 corresponding to the rotating plate 413 moves to the interior of the corresponding rectangular groove 403, that is, the quartz boat 401 in the measured silicon wafer is repositioned. Then the drive motor 309 can be started to drive the drive shaft 310 to rotate, thereby driving the active gear ring 311 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear ring 308 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 306 to rotate, and then driving the connecting rod 307 to rotate until the silicon wafer to be heated is loaded. When the quartz boat 401 rotates to a position corresponding to the quartz tube body 203, the above steps can be repeated again to push the quartz boat 401 into the interior of the quartz tube body 203 and start the pressure sensor 414 at the same time. When the pressure sensor 414 detects the position where the outer surface of the quartz boat 401 contacts the outer surface of the pusher body 204, it means that the quartz boat 401 has moved to the constant temperature zone of the quartz tube. The cross block 517 can be separated from the quartz boat 401 and moved out of the interior of the quartz tube body 203 to heat the silicon wafer. Through the combination of the pushing component 5 and the positioning component 4, the semiconductor quartz tube built-in pusher device can accurately detect the constant temperature zone in the quartz tube body 203 when pushing the silicon wafer into the interior of the quartz tube, thereby further improving the quality of subsequent silicon wafer heating and solving the problem that most existing built-in pushers in the prior art cannot accurately detect the constant temperature zone in the quartz tube when pushing the silicon wafer into the semiconductor quartz tube, resulting in uneven heating of the silicon wafer.
[0039] The method of use and working principle of this device: In order to ensure that the silicon wafer entering the quartz tube is heated in a constant temperature zone, first start the high temperature furnace 201 to heat the quartz tube body 203, and then place the quartz boat 401 loaded with the test silicon wafer and the silicon wafer to be heated in the following order: Figure 1 Between the two sets of clamping members shown, each of the two opposing trapezoidal blocks 407 is inserted into the corresponding rectangular groove 403 to achieve the positioning of the two sets of quartz boats 401. The quartz tube body 203 is heated to a predetermined temperature by the controller 202. The high-temperature furnace 201 utilizes the Joule heat generated by the resistance wire when it is energized. , as a heat source, transfers heat to the quartz tube body 203 through radiation and conduction, first Figure 1The two test silicon wafers shown are inserted into the interior of the corresponding quartz boat 401, and then the servo motor 503 is started to drive the driving rod 504 to rotate, thereby driving the eccentric wheel 505 to rotate, so that the outer surface of the eccentric wheel 505 rotates to a position separated from the outer surface of the pressure frame 501, thereby shortening the second spring 507, driving the pressure frame 501 to move toward the direction of the corresponding quartz boat 401, thereby driving the cross block 517 to move forward and insert it into the interior of the corresponding slot 402, wherein, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the cross section of the cross block 517 is consistent with the cross section of the slot 402. At this time, the positioning slot 512 is just moved to the position corresponding to the round head positioning tube 510, and as shown in FIG. Figure 11 As shown, the outer edge of the positioning groove 512 is an arc surface. When the round-head positioning tube 510 corresponds to the positioning groove 512, the round-head positioning tube 510 falls into the interior of the positioning groove 512 under the action of its own gravity, and then the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 515 can be started to extend, driving the inner screw tube 514 to move forward, thereby driving the threaded rod 513 to rotate until the cross block 517 rotates to a position perpendicular to the card slot 402, completing the connection between the cross block 517 and the card slot 402. Then the staff can start the electric push rod 410 corresponding to the quartz boat 401 to extend it, driving the movable plate 411 to move forward, thereby driving the rotating plate 413 to move forward, and then driving the corresponding trapezoidal block 407 to move forward and move out of the interior of the rectangular groove 403. When the movable connecting member 412 moves to a position where it does not contact the outer surface of the connecting rod 307, it will rotate downward under the action of its own gravity, thereby driving the support frame 404 connected to the movable connecting member 412 to rotate downward, thereby driving Figure 8 The trapezoidal block 407 shown rotates clockwise downward to separate the trapezoidal block 407 from the quartz boat 401. Then the forward and reverse motors 302 can be started to drive the screw rod 303 to rotate, thereby pushing the movable frame 304 to move forward, thereby pushing the threaded rod 513 to move slowly forward, and then pushing the cross block 517 to move forward, thereby pushing the quartz boat 401 to move forward, enter the interior of the quartz tube body 203, and push the pusher body 204 set in the quartz tube body 203 to move forward. At the same time, the infrared thermal imager 408 is started to capture the temperature distribution on the surface of the test silicon wafer in the quartz tube body 203. The infrared thermal imager 408 is used to monitor the surface temperature distribution and temperature difference of the silicon wafer. In essence, it captures the infrared radiation energy emitted by the silicon wafer, converts it into temperature data and visualizes it. According to Planck's law: any object with a temperature above absolute zero will emit infrared radiation, and the radiation energy is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. ,in is the emissivity, the silicon wafer The radiation intensity of different temperature areas on the surface of the silicon wafer is different. The radiation energy in the high temperature area is high, and the radiation energy in the low temperature area is low. The infrared thermal imager 408 quantifies the temperature distribution by detecting this energy difference and extracts the temperature difference data between the center and edge of the silicon wafer. When the rotation of the forward and reverse motors 302 is continued for more than 5 minutes, the forward and reverse motors 302 can be started in the reverse direction to move the test silicon wafer in the quartz boat 401 out of the high-temperature furnace 201 and reset to the surface of the corresponding support frame 404 until the trapezoidal block 407 is inserted into the corresponding rectangular slot 403 again. Then the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 515 is started to shorten it, driving the threaded rod 513 to rotate in the reverse direction and reset to a position completely corresponding to the slot 402. Then the servo motor 503 can be started in the reverse direction to drive the eccentric wheel 505 to reset and squeeze the anti-pressure frame 501, so that the second spring 507 is pulled and extended, thereby driving the hollow rod 511 to move away from the movable frame 304. Figure 11 As shown, the outer surface of the positioning groove 512 is an arc surface, which drives the threaded rod 513 to move backward, so that the cross block 517 moves out of the interior of the card slot 402, and then continues to start the forward and reverse motor 302 to drive the cross block 517 to move to a position away from the card slot 402. At the same time, the electric push rod 410 corresponding to the test silicon wafer is started again to shorten it, driving the movable plate 411 connected thereto to move toward the interior of the extension rod 409, thereby causing the corresponding rotating plate 413 to rotate upward and reset until the trapezoidal block 407 corresponding to the rotating plate 413 moves to the interior of the corresponding rectangular groove 403. Then, the driving motor 309 can be started to drive the driving shaft 310 to rotate, thereby driving the active gear ring 311 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear ring 308 Rotation causes the rotating shaft 306 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 307 to rotate until the quartz boat 401 carrying the silicon wafer to be heated rotates to a position corresponding to the quartz tube body 203. The above steps can be repeated again to push the quartz boat 401 into the interior of the quartz tube body 203 and activate the pressure sensor 414 at the same time. When the pressure sensor 414 detects the position where the outer surface of the quartz boat 401 contacts the outer surface of the pusher body 204, it indicates that the quartz boat 401 has moved to the constant temperature zone of the quartz tube. The working principle of the pressure sensor 414 is that when two objects come into contact, pressure acts on the sensor's elastic element: the metal diaphragm, causing it to deform slightly. The strain gauge attached to the surface of the metal diaphragm changes its resistance value with the deformation: , is proportional to the strain and follows Hooke's law. The strain gauge is connected to the Wheatstone bridge circuit, and the resistance change is converted into a voltage difference output. After amplification and filtering, it is compared with the preset threshold to determine whether there is contact. When the two are in contact, the cross block 517 can be separated from the quartz boat 401 and moved out of the interior of the quartz tube body 203 to heat the silicon wafer. Among them, the controller 202 is electrically connected to the high-temperature furnace 201, the forward and reverse motor 302, the drive motor 309, the infrared thermal imager 408, the electric push rod 410, the pressure sensor 414, the servo motor 503, the hydraulic rod 509 and the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 515.
