Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor equipment technology, and specifically relates to a method, apparatus, device and medium for emissivity compensation of RTP equipment. Background Technology
[0002] RTP (Rapid Thermal Processing) equipment is a semiconductor device that rapidly heats wafers to complete high-temperature processes. The process results of this type of equipment require high accuracy in temperature measurement, and it typically uses non-contact temperature probes to collect infrared signals for infrared thermography of the wafer. Measuring the emissivity of the measured object is crucial in infrared thermography. The internal environment of RTP equipment is complex, and in some processes, wafers may develop precipitates at high temperatures, forming coatings on internal process components such as temperature probes, reflectors, and quartz top plates. This affects the accuracy of emissivity measurement, which in turn affects the accuracy of temperature measurement and the electrical properties of the wafer processing.
[0003] Currently, RTP equipment characterizes changes in the temperature measurement system by periodically monitoring the film thickness performance of specific processes, and ensures consistency in process performance by adjusting the temperature offset (the offset setting of the target temperature, the same below). When the cavity is severely contaminated, maintenance such as opening the cavity for wiping and calibrating the emissivity is performed.
[0004] The above method requires frequent monitoring and adjustment of the temperature offset, as well as offline film thickness measurement to ensure process consistency. This method is cumbersome, time-consuming, and may require multiple adjustments, impacting the online operating time of the equipment. Furthermore, the wafer emissivity measured using this method is already offset and cannot reflect the actual wafer emissivity. If adjustments are not made promptly, it may lead to deviations in process results, affecting wafer product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0051] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates exemplary embodiments of the present invention, including various details to aid understanding. These details should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an emissivity compensation method for rapid thermal processing (RTP) equipment, which includes the following steps:
[0054] S1: Acquire historical data of several different wafers when they are located at the first work station, the historical data including historical reflection signals and historical emissivity;
[0055] S2: Obtain the first reflected signal when the cavity is in its first state;
[0056] S3: Obtain the first emissivity of several wafers at the first work station and the second emissivity of several wafers at the second work station;
[0057] S4: Obtain several second reflection signals of a preset secondary cavity state, and calculate the cavity reflection signal attenuation value based on the first reflection signal obtained in step S2 and the several second reflection signals;
[0058] S5: The emissivity compensation value is calculated based on the several sets of historical working position data obtained in step S1, the first emissivity obtained in step S3, the second emissivity obtained in step S3, and the cavity reflection signal attenuation value obtained in step S4.
[0059] S6: Calculate the final emissivity based on the second emissivity obtained in step S3 and the emissivity compensation value obtained in step S5;
[0060] Both the first workstation and the second workstation are located inside the cavity, with the first workstation located below the second workstation.
[0061] Specifically, the principle of emissivity measurement based on the reflected signal is as follows: when light or radiation energy irradiates an object, the following equation exists:
[0062] absorptivity+reflectivity+transmissivi=1;
[0063] In the formula, absorptivity is the absorption rate; reflectivity is the reflectance; and transmissivity is the transmittance. That is, absorptivity + reflectance + transmittance = 1.
[0064] Choosing the wavelength band with zero wafer transmittance as the measurement band for emissivity measurement, the above equation is subtracted by removing transmittance to obtain the following equation:
[0065] absorptivity + reflectivity = 1; that is, absorptivity + reflectivity = 1.
[0066] According to the second law of thermodynamics, the rate at which an object absorbs energy is equal to its emissivity, that is:
[0067] absorptivity = emissivity;
[0068] In summary, the reflectivity of the object under test can be obtained by measuring the reflectivity of the object to a specific signal, or by measuring the reflected signal of the object when the total emitted energy is known. Therefore, the method in this invention is feasible.
[0069] Specifically, in step S1, several wafers with known emissivity (historical emissivity), but with different emissivity, are sequentially placed into the cavity, placing the wafers in the first working position. The power of the radiant heating lamp is set to idle power (thermal standby power, i.e., maintaining a low power to prevent the cavity from heating up further). The reflection signals of the wafers in this state are recorded sequentially as historical reflection signals. This step is generally performed using an internal algorithm in non-contact thermometers, which calculates the emissivity based on the recorded reflection signal values. Typically, this step can use an HLwafer (two wafers commonly used in RTP equipment; Hwafer typically has an emissivity of around 0.92, and Lwafer typically has an emissivity of around 0.23, both referring to the performance at the common temperature measurement wavelength of RTP equipment, the same below) and a standard bareSiwafer (emissivity around 0.681). This is just one application example of this method and is not intended to limit the invention. The historical reflection signals and historical emissivity are matched one-to-one and saved as historical data.
[0070] Specifically, the cavity state is characterized by the absence of wafers within the cavity, the cavity being in a hot standby state, and the cavity being sealed.
[0071] Specifically, S4 includes the following steps:
[0072] S41: Acquire several second reflection signals of a preset subcavity state;
[0073] S42: Calculate the correlation entropy of each second reflection signal obtained in step S41 relative to other second reflection signals;
[0074] S43: Select the largest correlation entropy from the correlation entropy obtained in step S42, and use the second reflection signal corresponding to the largest correlation entropy as the cavity reflection signal;
[0075] S44: Calculate the cavity reflection signal attenuation value based on the first reflection signal obtained in step S2 and the cavity reflection signal obtained in step S43.
[0076] Specifically, during the actual process, when the wafer transfer gap or the machine is not performing a process, and the cavity meets the conditions of cavity closure, hot standby state, and no wafer, the reflected signal at this time is recorded as several second reflected signals. The preset number of times is determined according to the working conditions, and the number of the several second reflected signals is determined according to the filter width. If the filter width is a positive integer k, then k-1 data points from the current reflected signal forward and a total of k data points from the current reflected signal are selected as several second reflected signals.
[0077] Specifically, in S42, the formula for calculating the information entropy is as follows:
[0078]
[0079] In the formula, x represents the value of the currently selected data, w is an adjustment parameter used to adjust the range of the calculated result, which can be selected according to the specific signal value and processing platform. Q represents the correlation entropy of the currently selected data.
[0080] Specifically, filtering is achieved by calculating and selecting the maximum correlation entropy, thus removing non-Gaussian noise from the reflected signal, primarily the pulse signal introduced by the radiant heating lamp and the reflected signal measurement. For example... Figure 5 This is an example comparing signals before and after filtering.
[0081] Specifically, in S44, the formula for calculating the attenuation value of the cavity reflected signal is as follows:
[0082] r=YR;
[0083] In the formula, R is the cavity reflection signal obtained in step S43, Y is the first reflection signal obtained in step S2, and r is the cavity reflection signal attenuation value.
[0084] Specifically, S5 includes the following steps:
[0085] S51: Based on the historical data of several working positions obtained in step S1, the first slope of the linear equation corresponding to the historical reflection signal and historical emissivity is calculated using the least squares method.
[0086] S52: The second slope and emissivity intercept of the linear equation corresponding to the first emissivity and the second emissivity obtained in step S3 are calculated using the least squares method.
[0087] S53: The emissivity compensation value is calculated based on the first slope obtained in step S51, the second slope obtained in step S52, and the cavity reflection signal attenuation value obtained in step S4.
[0088] Specifically, in S51, the historical reflected signal is used as the independent variable and the historical emissivity is used as the dependent variable. The first slope and the first intercept are calculated using the least squares method, as shown in the following formula:
[0089] emissivity = a * reflection + b;
[0090] In the formula, emissivity is the historical emissivity, reflection is the historical reflection signal, a is the first slope, and b is the first intercept.
[0091] Specifically, in S52, the second emissivity is used as the dependent variable and the first emissivity as the independent variable. The second slope and the second intercept are calculated using the least squares method, as shown in the following formula:
[0092] Down.emissivity=a1*Middle.emissivity+b1;
[0093] In the formula, Down.emissivity is the first emissivity, Middle.emissivity is the second emissivity, a1 is the second slope, and b1 is the second intercept. The first station is the main position during wafer processing, but the wafer at the first station is prone to deformation due to uneven heating, resulting in deviations in emissivity measurement. The second station is the initial position of the wafer, which has not undergone deformation, and the deviation in emissivity measurement is smaller than that at the first station. Therefore, the emissivity at the second station is added for slope calculation to improve the accuracy of the compensation value.
[0094] Specifically, in S53, the formula for calculating the emissivity compensation value is as follows:
[0095] Emierr = a * a1 * r * c;
[0096] In the formula, Emierr is the emissivity compensation value, a is the first slope, a1 is the second slope, r is the cavity reflection signal attenuation value, and c is the equalization coefficient. The equalization coefficient c is fine-tuned according to the compensation effect, and the equalization coefficient c∈[0.8,1].
[0097] Specifically, in S6, the formula for calculating the final emissivity is as follows:
[0098] E=a1*Middle.emissivity+b1-Emierr;
[0099] In the formula, E represents the final emissivity. This final emissivity is uploaded to the user's display screen.
[0100] Specifically, when the second reflected signal attenuates to a certain extent, the subsequent reflected signals are relatively weak. To avoid the reflected signal continuing to decrease, which could lead to the probe measurement value being too low and causing algorithm failure, or the probe, cavity, etc. being affected by wafer deposits for a long time, resulting in cleaning difficulties, an effectiveness threshold is set for judgment. When the ratio of the cavity reflected signal attenuation value to the cavity reflected signal is greater than the effectiveness threshold, that is, r / R is greater than the effectiveness threshold, it is judged that timely cavity opening maintenance is required, and the relevant components inside the cavity are cleaned. The algorithm will no longer be executed, and the host computer will prompt that maintenance action is required.
[0101] Specifically, the validity threshold is preferably 0.25, which can be set by the user according to the actual situation.
[0102] Example 2
[0103] like Figure 2 As shown, an emissivity compensation device for a rapid heat treatment equipment is provided, which adopts the emissivity compensation method for a rapid heat treatment equipment described in Embodiment 1, and includes:
[0104] The historical data acquisition module is used to acquire historical data of several different wafers when they are located at the first work station. The historical data includes historical reflection signals and historical emissivity.
[0105] The first data acquisition module is used to acquire the first reflected signal when the cavity is in its first state.
[0106] The second data acquisition module is used to acquire the first emissivity of several wafers at the first work station and the second emissivity of several wafers at the second work station;
[0107] The attenuation value calculation module is used to acquire a number of second reflection signals in a preset secondary cavity state, and calculate the cavity reflection signal attenuation value based on the first reflection signal and the number of second reflection signals.
[0108] The compensation module is used to calculate the emissivity compensation value based on the several sets of historical working position data, the first emissivity, the second emissivity, and the cavity reflection signal attenuation value.
[0109] The output module is used to calculate the final emissivity based on the second emissivity and the emissivity compensation value.
[0110] Specifically, the attenuation value calculation module includes:
[0111] The second reflection signal acquisition submodule is used to acquire several second reflection signals of a preset subcavity state;
[0112] The correlation entropy calculation submodule calculates the correlation entropy of each second reflection signal relative to other second reflection signals.
[0113] The filtering submodule is used to select the largest correlation entropy from the correlation entropy and use the second reflection signal corresponding to the largest correlation entropy as the cavity reflection signal.
[0114] The attenuation calculation submodule is used to calculate the attenuation value of the cavity reflection signal based on the first reflection signal and the cavity reflection signal.
[0115] Specifically, in the relevant entropy calculation submodule, the formula for calculating the information entropy is as follows:
[0116]
[0117] In the formula, x represents the value of the currently selected data, w is an adjustment parameter used to adjust the range of the calculated result, which can be selected according to the specific signal value and processing platform. Q represents the correlation entropy of the currently selected data.
[0118] Specifically, in S44, the formula for calculating the attenuation value of the cavity reflected signal is as follows:
[0119] r=YR;
[0120] In the formula, R is the cavity reflection signal obtained in step S43, Y is the first reflection signal obtained in step S2, and r is the cavity reflection signal attenuation value.
[0121] Specifically, the compensation module includes:
[0122] The first linear equation calculation submodule is used to calculate the first slope of the linear equation corresponding to the historical reflection signal and historical emissivity based on the several sets of historical working position data using the least squares method.
[0123] The second linear equation calculation submodule is used to calculate the second slope and emissivity intercept of the linear equation corresponding to the first emissivity and the second emissivity using the least squares method based on the first emissivity and the second emissivity.
[0124] The compensation value calculation submodule is used to calculate the emissivity compensation value based on the first slope, the second slope, and the cavity reflection signal attenuation value.
[0125] Specifically, in the first linear equation calculation submodule, the historical reflected signal is used as the independent variable and the historical emissivity is used as the dependent variable. The first slope and the first intercept are calculated using the least squares method, as shown in the following formula:
[0126] emissivity = a * reflection + b;
[0127] In the formula, emissivity is the historical emissivity, reflection is the historical reflection signal, a is the first slope, and b is the first intercept.
[0128] Specifically, in the second linear equation calculation submodule, the second radiance is used as the dependent variable and the first radiance as the independent variable. The second slope and the second intercept are calculated using the least squares method, as shown in the following formula:
[0129] Down.emissivity=a1*Middle.emissivity+b1;
[0130] In the formula, Down.emissivity is the first emissivity, Middle.emissivity is the second emissivity, a1 is the second slope, and b1 is the second intercept. The first station is the main position during wafer processing, but the wafer at the first station is prone to deformation due to uneven heating, resulting in deviations in emissivity measurement. The second station is the initial position of the wafer, which has not undergone deformation, and the deviation in emissivity measurement is smaller than that at the first station. Therefore, the emissivity at the second station is added for slope calculation to improve the accuracy of the compensation value.
[0131] Specifically, in the compensation value calculation submodule, the formula for calculating the emissivity compensation value is as follows:
[0132] Emierr = a * a1 * r * c;
[0133] In the formula, Emierr is the emissivity compensation value, a is the first slope, a1 is the second slope, r is the cavity reflection signal attenuation value, and c is the equalization coefficient. The equalization coefficient c is fine-tuned according to the compensation effect, and the equalization coefficient c∈[0.8,1].
[0134] Specifically, in the output module, the formula for calculating the final emissivity is as follows:
[0135] E=a1*Middle.emissivity+b1-Emierr;
[0136] In the formula, E represents the final emissivity. This final emissivity is uploaded to the user's display screen.
[0137] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, several radiant heating lamps 1 are provided above the cavity for heating the wafer. Lifting pins 2 are located at both ends below the wafer to control its position within the cavity. Several non-contact temperature probes 3 are located below the center of the wafer, at least one of which is capable of measuring emissivity based on reflected signals. The wafer is placed at a first station and a second station. During the process, the wafer is first placed at the second station for preheating, and then placed at the first station for the main process.
