Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photoresist performance detection and relates to a sublimation detection device. Background Art

[0002] The crucial role of photoresist in microfabrication of microelectronics technology is indeed inseparable from the development of large-scale and very large-scale integrated circuits. As a photosensitive material, also known as photoresist, its solubility changes under the irradiation or radiation of ultraviolet light, electron beam, ion beam, X-ray, etc., so as to realize the transfer of patterns from the mask to the substrate to be processed. This property makes photoresist crucial in microelectronics manufacturing, especially in the process of manufacturing semiconductor circuits of chips. The sublimates during the baking of photoresist condensing on the substrate or the fork sensor will bring a series of problems, such as poor quality, malfunction of the exhaust switch, and even abnormal downtime may occur. These problems undoubtedly pose higher monitoring requirements for the enterprises using photoresist. Therefore, enterprises using photoresist have very strict monitoring of sublimates. To monitor sublimates, it is necessary to master the performance of sublimates.

[0003] Currently, the devices for sublimation detection mainly include a sublimation quadrupole instrument, a sublimation microscope, and a thermogravimetric analyzer. Among them, the sublimation quadrupole instrument is a key instrument commonly used in sublimation experiments, mainly used to test parameters such as the sublimation temperature range and sublimation rate of materials at different temperatures. When in use, the sample to be tested needs to be placed on the sample platform, and the sample is heated to a certain temperature through the heating system, then the sublimation situation of the sample is observed under high vacuum conditions, and relevant data is recorded. The sublimation microscope is used to observe the morphological and structural changes of the sample during the sublimation process. The sample to be tested is placed on the sample holder, and the microscope is aligned with the sample for observation. At the same time, the sample needs to be heated to a certain temperature to observe and record the morphological and structural changes of the sample during the sublimation process. The thermogravimetric analyzer can test parameters such as the weight loss of the sample during the sublimation process and the weight change before and after sublimation. The sample is placed in the sample pan and heated to a certain temperature through the heating system, and the weight loss and weight change of the sample are measured under a high vacuum environment. Although the current methods can all evaluate the thermal stability of the object to be tested to a certain extent, the operations are all complex, the equipment is all relatively expensive, the structures are also relatively complex, and even professional operators are required, which severely limits their applications.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0038] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0039] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "inner", etc. indicate an orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of this utility model is usually placed during use, it is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model. In addition, terms such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive distinction and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, the present invention discloses a sublimation detection device, including a first mounting table 1 and a second mounting table 2 detachably connected to the first mounting table 1. Among them, the second mounting table 2 is arranged above the first mounting table 1, and a first mounting position 11 is provided on the first mounting table 1, and the first mounting position 11 is detachably cooperated with the silicon wafer to be measured; a sublimation collection component 21 is provided on the second mounting table 2.

[0045] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the first mounting position 11 can be circular to match the shape of the silicon wafer to be measured.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the first mounting position 11 includes a first mounting groove 111 and a second mounting groove 112, and a first limiting shoulder 113 is provided between the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 112. The setting of the first limiting shoulder 113 facilitates the placement and fixation of the silicon wafer to be measured.

[0047] On the other hand, in order to improve the convenience of use, a chamfer is provided at the edge of the first mounting groove 111. The chamfer here refers to the machining process of cutting the edges of the workpiece into a certain inclined plane in mechanical manufacturing. The setting of the chamfer makes the clamping process smoother, reduces the assembly difficulty, helps the smooth transition between parts, and avoids scratches or damages caused by sharp edges during assembly.

[0048] Meanwhile, to facilitate the installation and removal of the silicon wafer to be measured, the first installation groove 111 is in clearance fit with the silicon wafer to be measured, and this clearance fit results in a small, predetermined gap between the first installation groove 111 and the silicon wafer to be measured. The clearance fit can ensure that the silicon wafer to be measured maintains a certain positional accuracy in the installation groove 111. Despite the gap, reasonable design can ensure that the silicon wafer is stably supported in the required position and orientation. Additionally, due to material and temperature changes, objects may undergo thermal expansion. The clearance fit can allow for such minor changes and prevent stress or damage caused by thermal expansion. At the same time, the clearance fit makes it easier to install the silicon wafer into the installation groove and remove it easily when needed. This is particularly important for testing or manufacturing processes that require frequent replacement or adjustment of the silicon wafer. By reducing the direct contact area between the silicon wafer and the installation groove, the clearance fit can reduce wear and friction, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and the silicon wafer. Meanwhile, the clearance fit can reduce the contact between the silicon wafer and the installation groove and lower the risk of contamination. Additionally, the clearance fit can provide sufficient space to achieve fine adjustment of the position or angle of the silicon wafer.

[0049] In a preferred solution, as Figure 5 shown, the second mounting table 2 is provided with a second mounting position 22, and the second mounting position 22 can also be circular to match the installation of the sublimation product collection component 21, so as to keep the shape of the sublimation product collection component 21 consistent with the shape of the silicon wafer to be measured.

[0050] The sublimation product collection component 21 is in clearance fit with the second mounting position 22, which also makes the installation and removal of the sublimation product collection component more convenient. More preferably, as Figure 6 shown, the second mounting position 22 includes a third installation groove 221 and a fourth installation groove 222, and a second limiting shoulder 223 is provided between the third installation groove 221 and the fourth installation groove 222. The limiting shoulder has a good supporting effect and at the same time limits the axial displacement of the object to be supported, playing an effective axial fixing role.

[0051] In another preferred embodiment, the third installation groove 221 is in clearance fit with the sublimation product collection component 21 to facilitate the installation and removal of the sublimation product collection component.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, a plurality of connecting members 3 are provided between the first mounting table 1 and the second mounting table 2, and the plurality of connecting members 3 are detachably arranged with both the first mounting table 1 and the second mounting table 2. The plurality of connecting members 3 can be small cylinders.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting member 3 is threadedly connected to the first mounting table 1, and the connecting member 3 is snap-fitted to the second mounting table 2. When in use, the connecting member 3 can be first fixed to the first mounting table 1 by threading, and then the second mounting table 2 is fixed to the connecting member 3. There can be four connecting members 3, which are symmetrically arranged on the first mounting table 1. The first mounting table 1 and the second mounting table 2 can both be rectangular, and the four connecting members 3 are symmetrically arranged at the four corners of the first mounting table 1 and the second mounting table 2.

[0054] A sublimation detection device in the present utility model, especially a device for testing photoresist sublimation, includes a lower base, i.e., the first mounting table 1, a silicon wafer clamping groove, i.e., the first mounting position 11, an upper base, i.e., the second mounting table 2, a quartz glass clamping groove, i.e., the second mounting position 22, and a support column, i.e., the connecting member 3. That is, the sublimation collection component 21 can be quartz glass.

[0055] Wherein, the vertical distance between the first mounting table 1 and the second mounting table 2 is 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably 20 mm. The above-mentioned first mounting position 11 and second mounting position 22 can respectively place a 4-inch wafer and a 4-inch quartz glass.

[0061] S4: Use a stopwatch to time, and prepare to test the transmittance and whiteness of the quartz glass. The transmittance and whiteness are measured by a transmittance meter and a whiteness tester respectively.

[0062] This method verifies whether there is sublimation during baking by testing the transmittance and whiteness, and verifies the feasibility of photoresist introduction by testing whether sublimation occurs.
