Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor detection technology, and in particular to a temperature measurement method and module thereof, an infrared thermometer, equipment and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] In semiconductor manufacturing, infrared thermometers are integrated into the process chambers of equipment such as etching, thin film deposition, and rapid thermal processing to perform non-contact temperature monitoring of wafers. The accuracy of their temperature control directly determines the device performance and yield.
[0003] To address the degradation in temperature measurement performance caused by the harsh environment within the chamber, including high temperatures, plasma, and the deposition of reaction byproducts, traditional techniques employ a bypass-type fixed reference source scheme. This involves placing an independent, wavelength-stable infrared reference light source next to the main detector's optical path. The reference light is guided into the detector via a separate optical fiber or a fixed reflector, forming a reference optical path that is physically separated from the main optical path used to measure the radiation from the target. During calibration, the light source is illuminated, and the system calibrates the detector's response based on its known intensity.
[0004] In the above scheme, because a non-common path design is used that physically separates the reference light from the main optical path, the reference light does not pass through the process cavity viewport. Therefore, it is completely unaware of the transmittance reduction and additional optical noise caused by window deposition and fogging. In semiconductor processes, the most significant factor contributing to performance degradation is the contamination and degradation of the viewport. Consequently, this calibration is not very effective in improving the system's effective temperature resolution (NETD) accuracy under real-world operating conditions. Summary of the Invention

The predicted noise is gradually made closer to the real target noise through online updating of the weight vector. Finally, the target noise is canceled out from the target signal in the off phase. By adopting the above scheme, the reference optical signal and the target optical signal of this application use the same optical channel in the epitaxial growth equipment. The noise information carried in the reference signal is highly correlated with the noise in the target signal, which enables the noise prediction model to accurately model and predict the actual noise components in the main optical path. After significantly suppressing the noise, the signal-to-noise ratio and effective temperature resolution are significantly improved. In addition, while suppressing the noise, this application also fully preserves the dynamic characteristics of the target signal that reflect rapid and minute temperature changes, without affecting the system response speed, and is suitable for real-time high-precision temperature monitoring scenarios.

[0053] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0054] Some exemplary embodiments of this application have been described for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that this application may be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0055] Please see Figure 1 In one exemplary embodiment, this application provides an infrared thermometer suitable for in-situ monitoring systems of semiconductor epitaxial growth equipment. Semiconductor epitaxial growth equipment refers to process equipment used for epitaxially growing thin films or multilayer structures on a substrate, typically including metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and various chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. The in-situ monitoring system is a measurement subsystem that performs real-time measurement and data processing of the epitaxial growth state of the wafer within the reaction chamber without disrupting the process environment or interrupting growth. Further, a base for placing the wafer is provided within the reaction chamber. The base is made of high-purity graphite and is supported by a rotating shaft driven by a motor, allowing it to rotate continuously during the epitaxial growth process of the wafer.
[0056] An infrared thermometer is positioned above the reaction chamber and includes a reference source module, a target source module, a sampling module, and a temperature measurement module.
[0057] The reference source module is used to periodically output a reference infrared light source to the wafer surface.
[0058] Specifically, the reference source module includes a light source and a driving circuit. The light source is used to output a reference infrared light source. In this embodiment, a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is preferred, which has advantages such as fast modulation speed, high spectral purity, and small size. The driving circuit provides a high-frequency square wave modulation driving current to the VCSEL, causing it to output periodic infrared light pulses, so that the reference infrared light source alternately enters an on and off phase in each adjustment cycle. For example, the high-frequency range in this embodiment is 1-10kHz.
[0059] The target source module is used to output the target infrared light source to the wafer surface.
[0060] Specifically, the target source module includes a radiation source and an optical lens. The radiation source is used to output the target infrared light source; the optical lens receives the diverging beam from the radiation source, collimates, focuses and homogenizes it through its built-in optical group, and finally illuminates the target area on the wafer surface with a light spot of preset shape and energy density.
[0061] The sampling module is used to split the reference reflected light signal on the wafer surface into a first light signal and a second light signal, and generate a reference signal based on the first light signal; it is also used to receive the target reflected light signal and the second light signal on the wafer surface, and generate a target signal based on the target reflected light signal and the second light signal; the modulation frequency of the reference infrared light source is higher than the modulation frequency of the target infrared light source.
[0062] Specifically, the sampling module includes a beam splitter, a reference detector, and a main detector.
[0063] The beam splitter, tilted and positioned on the reference optical path, is designed with a coating that maximizes the transmittance (T>90%) of the target reflected light signal and maximizes the reflectance (R>90%), ensuring near-loss-free transmission of the target signal. The reference signal (S_ref) is partially reflected and merges with the target signal. This reflected light and the target signal pass through all optical elements together before reaching the main detector. In this scheme, the target and reference signals follow identical optical paths. This identical path means they share the same contaminated observation window, the same lens group, and the same airflow disturbances. Therefore, the noise information carried by the reference signal is highly correlated with the noise in the target signal. This allows the subsequent adaptive algorithm to model and predict the true noise of the main optical path with extreme accuracy, resulting in optimal signal-to-noise ratio improvement and effective temperature resolution (NETD) optimization after noise reduction.
[0064] A reference detector is used to receive a first optical signal and generate a reference signal based on the first optical signal; wherein the first optical signal is obtained by splitting a reference reflected optical signal from the wafer surface, and the reference reflected optical signal is generated by the wafer surface reflecting a reference infrared light source.
[0065] The main detector is used to receive the second optical signal and the target reflected optical signal, and to generate a target signal based on the second optical signal and the target reflected optical signal.
[0066] In this design, the sampling clocks of the reference detector and the main detector are synchronized, and the modulation frequency of the reference infrared light source is higher than that of the target infrared light source. By employing this scheme, and using a modulation frequency significantly higher than the target signal refresh rate, the injection of the reference signal, the extraction of noise samples, and noise reduction processing can be completed within the microscopic timescale of normal temperature measurement. This allows this application to leap from a periodically interrupted offline calibration mode to a mode where real-time correction is performed synchronously with each normal temperature measurement. The effective temperature resolution is optimized in every measurement, thoroughly meeting the stringent requirements of continuous and seamless monitoring in industrial scenarios such as semiconductor manufacturing.
[0067] Furthermore, by eliminating all moving mechanical parts, the aforementioned solution fundamentally eliminates particulate contaminants generated by the opening and closing of the mechanical shutter, fully meeting the ultra-cleanliness requirements of semiconductor process chambers. Simultaneously, the absence of wear and jamming risks significantly extends the device's lifespan and mean time between failures (MTBF), while also reducing maintenance costs and machine downtime risks. Moreover, the newly added reference source module, spectrometer, and reference detector are all miniaturized, solid-state electronic devices, eliminating the need for complex mechanical structures and drive mechanisms. This results in a small-sized, low-power device that is easily integrated into existing or newly designed infrared temperature measurement systems. While improving performance, it effectively controls manufacturing costs and integration complexity, possessing extremely high practical value and market potential.
[0068] The temperature measurement module is used to predict target noise in the target signal based on a reference signal and a target signal, and to calculate the target temperature based on the target noise. Specifically, the temperature measurement module acquires reference signals for the on and off phases, calculates the difference between them to obtain a first differential signal; acquires target signals for the on and off phases, calculates the difference between them to obtain a second differential signal; wherein the reference signal is generated by the reference source module based on the reflected light signal from the wafer surface, and the target signal is generated by the target source module based on the reflected light signal from the wafer surface, and the target signal includes the signal component obtained by splitting the reference signal; the fluctuation information in the first and second differential signals is extracted respectively to obtain a first fluctuation signal and a second fluctuation signal; the first and second fluctuation signals are used as inputs to a noise prediction model to obtain predicted noise; based on the predicted noise, the weight vector of the noise prediction model is adaptively updated so that the predicted noise gradually approaches the target noise; the difference between the target signal and the target noise in the off phase is calculated, and the target temperature is calculated based on this difference; wherein the target temperature and the target signal are in a corresponding relationship.
[0069] The aforementioned infrared thermometer periodically outputs a square wave modulation signal, causing the reference infrared light source to alternately be in an on-state and off-state phase within each modulation cycle. Reference and target signals are acquired during the on-state and off-state phases of the reference infrared light source, respectively, and differentially processed. Fluctuation information is then extracted from the first and second differential signals. These two fluctuation signals are used together as input to a noise prediction model. The relevant fluctuation information is used to adaptively model and predict the noise of the main path system and the fluctuation of the reference light intensity. Online updates of the weight vector gradually bring the predicted noise closer to the actual target noise. Finally, the target noise is canceled out from the target signal during the off-state phase. By adopting the above scheme, the reference optical signal and the target optical signal of this application use the same optical channel in the epitaxial growth equipment. The noise information carried in the reference signal is highly correlated with the noise in the target signal, which enables the noise prediction model to accurately model and predict the actual noise components in the main optical path. After significantly suppressing the noise, the signal-to-noise ratio and effective temperature resolution are significantly improved. In addition, while suppressing the noise, this application also fully preserves the dynamic characteristics of the target signal that reflect rapid and minute temperature changes, without affecting the system response speed, and is suitable for real-time high-precision temperature monitoring scenarios.
[0070] Please see Figure 2 In one exemplary embodiment, this application provides a temperature measurement method applicable to an in-situ monitoring system for semiconductor epitaxial growth equipment. The in-situ monitoring system includes an infrared thermometer and specifically includes the following steps:
[0071] Step 202: Obtain the reference signals for the on and off phases, and calculate the difference between them to obtain the first differential signal.
[0072] Specifically, during the measurement process, the reference detector continuously acquires reference reflected light signals from the wafer surface at a preset sampling frequency. Within the stable time window of the on and off phases of each modulation cycle, multiple sets of sampling points are selected as reference signals. For example, let the reference signal in the on phase be M_on, and the reference signal in the off phase be M_off. Then, the first differential signal ΔM = M_on - M_off, where the value of M_on is proportional to the second optical signal, and the theoretical value of M_off is zero.
[0073] Step 204: Obtain the target signals for the on and off phases, and calculate the difference between them to obtain the second differential signal; wherein, the reference signal is generated by the reference source module based on the reflected light signal from the wafer surface, the target signal is generated by the target source module based on the reflected light signal from the wafer surface, and the target signal includes the signal component obtained by splitting the reference signal.
[0074] Specifically, during the measurement process, the main detector continuously acquires the target reflected light signal and the second light signal from the wafer surface at a preset sampling frequency. Within the stable time window of the on and off phases of each modulation cycle, multiple sets of sampling points are selected as the target signal. For example, the target signal in the on phase is denoted as S_on = S_target + S_ref + N_system, where S_target is the target signal corresponding to the target reflected light signal, S_ref is the target signal corresponding to the second light signal, and N_system is the system noise. The target signal in the off phase is denoted as S_off = S_target + N_system, then the second differential signal ΔS = S_on - S_off = S_ref + ΔN_system. It should be noted that the purpose of the above differential is to extract the pure reference signals ΔS and ΔM from the mixed signal for subsequent analysis. Since the system noise is a random process, the noise in the on and off phases is independent; therefore, the differential ΔS still contains the influence of noise.
[0075] Step 206: Extract the fluctuation information from the first differential signal and the second differential signal respectively to obtain the first fluctuation signal and the second fluctuation signal.
[0076] Specifically, the fluctuation information in the first differential signal refers to the fluctuation in the reference path, characterizing the intensity fluctuation of the reference infrared source itself. The fluctuation information in the second differential signal refers to the fluctuation in the main path, characterizing the intensity fluctuation of the reference infrared source and the fluctuation of system noise in the main path.
[0077] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fluctuation information of the target signal S_off during the shutdown phase is also extracted. This fluctuation information represents the short-term fluctuation of S_off. Since S_target remains basically unchanged within milliseconds, the fluctuation information of S_off can be regarded as a real-time sample of the noise in the main path system.
[0078] Step 208: Use the first and second wave signals as inputs to the noise prediction model to obtain the predicted noise; based on the predicted noise, adaptively update the weight vector of the noise prediction model so that the predicted noise gradually approaches the target noise.
[0079] Specifically, the noise prediction model is an online prediction model. At each sampling moment, the current first and second fluctuation signals are used as inputs, and the predicted noise at the current sampling moment is output. Then, based on the prediction error between the noise sample and the predicted noise at the current sampling moment, the weight vector of the noise prediction model is adaptively updated, so that the model parameters converge over time. Thus, the main path noise is predicted and tracked online on a sample-by-sample basis throughout the measurement process.
[0080] Step 210: Calculate the difference between the target signal and the target noise during the shutdown phase, and calculate the target temperature based on the difference; wherein the target temperature and the target signal are in a corresponding relationship.
[0081] Specifically, the target signal S_off during the shutdown phase is S_target + N_system. The predicted target noise is subtracted from the original signal to obtain the denoised real signal. The final temperature value can then be calculated based on this real signal.
[0082] Generally, under conditions of a fixed wavelength, known emissivity, optical channel, and detector response, the wafer surface temperature exhibits a monotonic relationship with the radiation intensity of that wavelength; that is, as the temperature increases, the radiation signal in the corresponding wavelength increases. In practical engineering applications, this relationship can be characterized using spectral signal-temperature curves or tables.
[0083] The aforementioned temperature measurement method periodically outputs a square wave modulation signal, causing the reference infrared light source to alternately be in an on-state and off-state phase within each modulation cycle. Reference and target signals are acquired during the on-state and off-state phases of the reference infrared light source, respectively, and differentially processed. Fluctuation information is then extracted from the first and second differential signals. Both fluctuation signals are used as input to a noise prediction model. The relevant fluctuation information is used to adaptively model and predict the noise of the main path system and the fluctuation of the reference light intensity. Online updates of the weight vector gradually bring the predicted noise closer to the actual target noise. Finally, the target noise is canceled out from the target signal during the off-state phase. By adopting the above scheme, the reference optical signal and the target optical signal of this application use the same optical channel in the epitaxial growth equipment. The noise information carried in the reference signal is highly correlated with the noise in the target signal, which enables the noise prediction model to accurately model and predict the actual noise components in the main optical path. After significantly suppressing the noise, the signal-to-noise ratio and effective temperature resolution are significantly improved. In addition, while suppressing the noise, this application also fully preserves the dynamic characteristics of the target signal that reflect rapid and minute temperature changes, without affecting the system response speed, and is suitable for real-time high-precision temperature monitoring scenarios.
[0084] Please see Figure 3 Optionally, the methods for calculating the first differential signal and the second differential signal include:
[0085] Step 302: For a modulation period, perform multiple sets of synchronous sampling in the stable region of the start phase to obtain multiple sets of first reference data and multiple sets of first target data.
[0086] Step 304: Perform multiple sets of synchronous sampling within the stable region of the shutdown phase to obtain multiple sets of second reference data and multiple sets of second target data.
[0087] Step 306: Calculate the difference between the first reference data and the second reference data corresponding to the same time point to obtain multiple sets of first difference data.
[0088] Step 308: Calculate the difference between the first target data and the second target data at the same time point to obtain multiple sets of second differential data. Each first reference data and each second reference data constitutes a reference signal; each first target data and each second target data constitutes a target signal; each first differential data constitutes a first differential signal; and each second differential data constitutes a second differential signal.
[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, within one adjustment cycle, the reference signal and the target signal are synchronously sampled multiple times during the on-phase and off-phase. That is, at each sampling moment during the on-phase, the first optical signal in the reference channel, the second optical signal in the main channel, and the target reflected optical signal are simultaneously acquired to obtain a set of first reference data and first target data. Similarly, at each sampling moment during the off-phase, the first optical signal in the reference channel, the second optical signal in the main channel, and the target reflected optical signal are simultaneously acquired to obtain a set of second reference data and second target data. It should be understood that the first and second optical signals are theoretically zero during the off-phase.
[0090] By employing the above scheme, which involves multiple synchronous samplings of the reference and target signals within a modulation period, compared to sampling only at a single moment, the approach can significantly suppress instantaneous random noise and single sampling errors by averaging, filtering, or removing outliers from multiple sets of differential data. This reduces the variance of the differential signal and improves the stability and reliability of the differential results between the reference and target signals. Furthermore, since each set of data is acquired synchronously at the same moment, the correspondence between the reference and target channels under the same optical state can be more accurately characterized. This provides richer and more consistent sample data for subsequent adaptive noise modeling based on the first and second wave signals, thereby improving the convergence speed and modeling accuracy of the noise prediction model and further enhancing the overall signal-to-noise ratio and temperature resolution of the temperature measurement.
[0091] Optionally, fluctuation information is extracted from the first differential signal and the second differential signal respectively to obtain the first fluctuation signal and the second fluctuation signal, including:
[0092] The slowly varying background components in the first differential signal and the second differential signal are removed to retain the short-time fluctuation components, resulting in the first fluctuation signal and the second fluctuation signal; wherein, the slowly varying background components include DC components and low-frequency slowly varying components.
[0093] Specifically, the slowly varying background component refers to the signal components that change slowly over multiple modulation cycles and are used to characterize the signal baseline and its low-frequency drift. These include DC components and low-frequency slowly varying components introduced by factors such as system bias, optical channel temperature drift, and window contamination.
[0094] Short-time fluctuation components refer to signal components that change rapidly over multiple sampling periods or multiple modulation periods, exhibiting zero-mean fluctuations relative to local averages. These components are primarily caused by rapid fluctuations in the intensity of the reference light source, random noise in the detector and signal link, and rapid temperature changes in the object under test, exhibiting high frequency characteristics. In this embodiment, the short-time fluctuation component characterizes the instantaneous fluctuation features in both the target signal and the reference signal.
[0095] Optionally, the slowly varying background component is removed from the first differential signal and the second differential signal to retain the short-time fluctuation component, resulting in the first fluctuation signal and the second fluctuation signal, including:
[0096] Based on a preset sliding time window, the first average value of the first differential signal is calculated, and the difference between the first differential signal and the first average value is the first fluctuation signal.
[0097] Based on a preset sliding time window, the second average value of the second differential signal is calculated, and the difference between the second differential signal and the second average value is the second fluctuation signal.
[0098] Specifically, during continuous sampling, the first differential signal and the second differential signal obtained in each modulation period are stored in the buffer in chronological order, and the slowly varying background components in the differential signal are estimated and removed by using a sliding time window.
[0099] For the first differential signal, at each sampling time, a time window of preset length is formed by selecting multiple sampling points before and after the current sampling point. The first differential signal within the window is averaged and summed, and the resulting first average value is used as the slowly varying background component corresponding to that sampling point. Then, the slowly varying background component is subtracted from the first differential signal at the current sampling point to obtain the corresponding first short-time fluctuation component. The short-time fluctuation components of all sampling points constitute the first fluctuation signal. It should be understood that, in addition to calculating the average sum, other processing can be performed as needed. For example, a low-order polynomial fitting can be performed on the first differential signal within the window, and the fitting result can be used as the slowly varying background component corresponding to that sampling point.
[0100] For the second differential signal, the same sliding time window and smoothing method as the first differential signal are used to estimate its slowly varying background component. The second differential signal at each sampling point is subtracted from the corresponding slowly varying background component to obtain the second short-time fluctuation component. The short-time fluctuation components of all sampling points constitute the second fluctuation signal.
[0101] By employing the above scheme, and performing sliding window smoothing and background subtraction on the first and second differential signals in the time domain, the slowly changing background components caused by optical window contamination, optical element temperature drift, and baseline drift can be separated from the differential signals. Only short-term fluctuation components closely related to reference light intensity fluctuations and system noise are retained, thus allowing the first and second fluctuation signals to focus more on characterizing instantaneous noise characteristics. This reduces the interference of slow drift on the adaptive noise prediction model, preventing the model parameters from being pulled by long-term trends and making it difficult to converge in a timely manner. Furthermore, it improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the noise prediction input, which helps the model to more accurately learn the correlation between the main path noise and the reference path fluctuation, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of noise prediction and further enhancing the real-time signal-to-noise ratio and effective temperature resolution in the temperature measurement process.
[0102] Optionally, the noise prediction model is a linear prediction model, and its expression is:

[0107] Please see Figure 4 Optionally, the weight vector of the noise prediction model is adaptively updated based on the predicted noise, so that the predicted noise gradually approximates the target noise, including:
[0108] Step 402: Determine the prediction error based on the difference between the noise reference signal and the current predicted noise; wherein, the noise reference signal is the target signal of the off-phase from which fluctuation information has been extracted.
[0109] Step 404: Input the prediction error and the first and second fluctuation signals at the corresponding time into the recursive least squares algorithm to calculate the gain vector used to correct the weight vector, and update the weight vector and its covariance matrix according to the gain vector.
[0110] Step 406: Use the updated weight vector for the next prediction to gradually reduce the prediction error and make the prediction noise gradually approach the target noise.
[0111] Specifically, the purpose of this application is to construct a linear prediction model that utilizes noise-related auxiliary inputs. and The noise of the main path is predicted. The predicted noise is subtracted from the original signal in real time to obtain the denoised real target signal. This real target signal is used to calculate the final temperature value, and its expression is: S_final[k] = S_off[k]- N_predicted[k]; where S_off[k] is the target signal in the off stage and N_predicted[k] is the target noise.
[0112] Furthermore, in order to make the predicted noise infinitely close to the real noise, the coefficients of the noise prediction model need to be continuously updated. The steps to achieve this include:
[0113] In each sampling period, the prediction error is calculated, and its expression is: e[k] = N_actual[k] - N_predicted[k]; where N_actual[k] is the obtained real noise reference value. Since the fluctuation information of S_off is directly derived from the main path and contains almost no change in the target signal, in this embodiment, the fluctuation information of S_off δS_off[k] is used to approximate N_actual[k].
[0114] The Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm is used to update the weights of the noisy prediction model. Specifically, the RLS algorithm uses a set of recursive formulas to efficiently update the weights using the current prediction error and the input signal, minimizing the long-term average sum of squared prediction errors. Its core formula is as follows:
[0115] Formula (1);
[0116] Formula (2);
[0117] Formula (3);
[0118] Formula (1) above is the gain vector expression, formula (2) is the weight update formula, and formula (3) is the covariance update expression. Wherein, The Kalman gain vector determines the magnitude of the coefficient correction caused by the current error. The inverse correlation matrix of the input signal is estimated and is a state variable within the algorithm. The forgetting factor has a value range of 0 < λ ≤ 1. In this embodiment, it is set to 0.99 to give new data a higher weight, enabling the algorithm to track non-stationary noise with slowly changing statistical characteristics.
[0119] The above steps are repeated for each sampling period k, thereby achieving uninterrupted online real-time noise reduction, and ultimately making the predicted noise gradually approach the target noise.
[0120] It should be noted that the recursive least squares method is used to update the model coefficients in this embodiment. In practical applications, an appropriate adaptive algorithm with online learning capabilities can be selected as needed.
[0121] Unlike traditional noise reduction methods that rely on software smoothing such as low-pass filtering, the adaptive noise cancellation technology of this application actively processes the signal, precisely subtracting the predicted noise component from the main signal, rather than simply smoothing the entire signal. Therefore, while effectively suppressing noise, this application perfectly preserves the rapid, subtle real temperature changes inherent in the target signal, ensuring that the system does not sacrifice response speed or distortion when monitoring rapid thermal processing processes such as Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTP). Furthermore, an adaptive algorithm based on recursive least squares continuously and recursively updates the model coefficients. This makes the noise reduction system not a filter with fixed parameters, but an intelligent agent with "learning" capabilities. It can automatically track and adapt to changes in noise characteristics caused by system aging, lens contamination accumulation, and slow temperature drift, ensuring optimal noise reduction and temperature resolution throughout the entire equipment lifecycle.

Wherein, each first reference data and each second reference data constitutes a reference signal; each first target data and each second target data constitutes a target signal; each first differential data constitutes a first differential signal; and each second differential data constitutes a second differential signal.
[0130] Optionally, the extraction unit extracts the fluctuation information from the first differential signal and the second differential signal respectively to obtain the first fluctuation signal and the second fluctuation signal, including: removing the slowly varying background component from the first differential signal and the second differential signal to retain the short-time fluctuation component, thereby obtaining the first fluctuation signal and the second fluctuation signal; wherein, the slowly varying background component includes a DC component and a low-frequency slowly varying component.

[0137] Optionally, the prediction unit adaptively updates the weight vector of the noise prediction model based on the predicted noise, so that the predicted noise gradually approaches the target noise.

The relevant fluctuation information is used to adaptively model and predict the noise of the main path system and the fluctuation of the reference light intensity. Online updates of the weight vector gradually bring the predicted noise closer to the actual target noise. Finally, the target noise is canceled out from the target signal during the off phase. Using this scheme, the reference and target light signals in this application utilize the same optical channel in the epitaxial growth equipment. The noise information carried in the reference signal is highly correlated with the noise in the target signal, enabling the noise prediction model to accurately model and predict the actual noise components in the main optical path. This significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio and effective temperature resolution after suppressing noise. Furthermore, while suppressing noise, this application also fully preserves the dynamic characteristics of the target signal reflecting rapid and minute temperature changes, without affecting the system response speed, making it suitable for real-time, high-precision temperature monitoring scenarios.
