[0048] The utility model discloses a light detection module and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, to solve the light illumination system provided by the light of the inside of the equipment of present equipment is easy to form PACC phenomenon, cause the problem of product yield reduction.

[0049] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, three elements forming the photo-assistant copper corrosion (PACC) phenomenon are conductor, dielectric and energy. Among them, the conductor and the dielectric are formed in the early stage of product design, and it is difficult to change in the process of production and manufacturing, so reducing the external substances that can provide energy for electrochemical copper corrosion in the process of production and manufacturing becomes the simplest and most effective way. As the most direct and effective way to provide energy, whether it is environmental light or laser, it can provide energy for electrochemical reaction to promote the movement of copper atoms. In the actual production and manufacturing process, blind plates or polarized plates are often used to isolate external light, but the machine table is also equipped with a light illumination system for maintenance or abnormal handling. Once the operator does not turn off the light illumination system in time after use, the probability of PACC phenomenon of the product being produced will be greatly increased, thereby affecting the product yield. Based on this, the embodiment provides a light detection module and a semiconductor manufacturing equipment. By adding a detection unit near the process disc, the light intensity inside the machine table is detected, and when the real-time light intensity is greater than the preset light intensity, a production suspension signal is generated to reduce the impact of light on the product, thereby reducing the probability of PACC phenomenon of the product, and effectively improving the product yield.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The utility model provides a kind of light detection module, comprising: detection unit 1 and logic judging unit 2;Detection unit 1 is close to the process disc (not shown in the figure) for carrying wafer and is arranged, for detecting the light intensity inside machine table 6;Logic judging unit 2 is connected with detection unit 1;Logic judging unit 2 is configured as: comparing the size of real-time light intensity measured by detection unit 1 and preset light intensity, when real-time light intensity is greater than preset light intensity, generate suspension production signal, and transmit to the control end 5 of machine table 6, to suspend current production process.As an optional embodiment, after receiving suspension production signal, the wafer of the batch being produced needs to continue to be processed, and the wafer of the next batch which has not been produced is suspended production, to ensure that the wafer of the batch being produced is not completely scrapped.It needs to be explained that, in the embodiment, detection unit 1 can be a photosensitive resistor 21 (such as Figure 1 As shown), it can also be a light intensity sensor (such as Figure 2The resistance of the photoresistor 21 can change based on the change of the light intensity, thereby forming a difference. The light intensity sensor is a sensor 10 for measuring the light intensity. Based on the photoelectric effect, when light shines on the photosensitive element of the sensor 10, the photosensitive element will generate a current or voltage change. Since there is a relationship between the light intensity and the output signal of the photosensitive element, the light intensity of the current environment can be determined by measuring the output signal of the photosensitive element. The logic judgment unit 2 can be a logic judgment circuit 20 (as shown in Figure 1 which can be used with the photoresistor 21 and connected to the internal interlocking circuit 4 of the machine 6 to control the production of the machine 6 based on the size of the real-time light intensity and the preset light intensity. It can also be a translator 30 and a server 31 (as shown in Figure 2 which can be used with the light intensity sensor to store and detect the light intensity inside the machine 6 in real time, and send a production suspension instruction to the control end 5 of the machine 6 when the real-time light intensity is greater than the preset light intensity. Those skilled in the art can understand that the light intensity refers to the total amount of light received per unit area, which is usually represented by lux (lx). The preset light intensity mentioned in this embodiment can be a critical light intensity determined by combining experiments and previous product production data. When the real-time light intensity is less than the above critical light intensity, the product is not prone to PACC phenomenon; when the real-time light intensity is greater than the above critical light intensity, the probability of PACC phenomenon of the product increases. In other embodiments, the detection unit 1 and the logic judgment unit 2 can also be other components with the same function, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0051] In this way, by adding a detection unit 1 near the process disc, the light intensity inside the machine 6 is obtained, and a processing suspension signal is sent out when the real-time light intensity is greater than the preset light intensity to stop the processing of the machine 6, thereby reducing the probability of PACC phenomenon of the wafer due to the energy provided by the light in the processing, and improving the product yield.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5, the logic judging unit 2 comprises a logic judging circuit 20; the logic judging circuit 20 is connected with the control end 5 of the machine 6 through the interlocking loop 4; the detecting unit 1 comprises a light-dependent resistor 21, the light-dependent resistor 21 is connected with the logic judging circuit 20, the resistance value of the light-dependent resistor 21 decreases with the increase of the real-time illumination; the logic judging circuit 20 comprises a relay 24 and a switch 25; the relay 24 is connected with the interlocking loop 4 through the switch 25; the light-dependent resistor 21 changes the resistance value based on the change of the real-time illumination, and drives the switch 25 to turn on or turn off the interlocking loop 4 through the relay 24. Further, when the real-time illumination is less than the preset illumination, the relay 24 does not work, the switch 25 keeps connected with the interlocking loop 4, and the machine 6 works normally; when the real-time illumination is greater than the preset illumination, the relay 24 works, the switch 25 disconnects with the interlocking loop 4, and the machine 6 suspends production and generates an alarm signal. Those skilled in the art can understand that, please refer to Figure 3 , the light-dependent resistor 21 (Light-dependent Resister, LDR) is a special resistor with photoconductive effect, which usually comprises a photoconductive body 210, an electrode 211, a contact metal 214, a substrate 212 and a wire 213. When there is light irradiation, the electrons of the resistor will be excited from the original stable state to become free electrons. The stronger the light is, the more free electrons are generated, and the smaller the resistance is. The on or off of the circuit can be controlled by using this characteristic. Please refer to Figures 4 to 5 , the interlocking loop 4 is a kind of logic control loop for realizing mutual restriction and interlocking protection between devices. Its main function is to ensure that the devices start, stop or switch states according to the specified sequence and conditions, so as to ensure the safety, stability and high efficiency of the production process. In this embodiment, the light-dependent resistor 21 is connected with the logic judging circuit 20, and changes the resistance value of the circuit based on the change of the illumination, and then controls the on or off of the switch 25 through the relay 24. It should be noted that the relay 24 is an electrical control device. When the input (excitation) reaches a specified value, it can make the controlled quantity have a predetermined step change or make the controlled circuit have an on-off state change. Therefore, when the relay 24 does not work, the switch 25 is in a normally closed state to turn on the interlocking loop 4, thereby ensuring the normal work of the machine 6; once the illumination changes and the resistance value of the light-dependent resistor 21 changes greatly, the relay 24 starts to work, and the switch 25 is in an off state, at this time the interlocking loop 4 is turned off, and the control end 5 of the machine 6 immediately sends a production suspension signal and an alarm signal to inform the operator to handle the subsequent process. The alarm signal here can be an acoustic signal, a light signal emitted by a buzzer, or a notification signal automatically sent by the system, which is not limited in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the real-time illumination intensity in the environment is less than the preset illumination intensity, the resistance value of the photosensitive resistor 21 increases (tends to 1MΩ), so that the potential of the third end (i.e., the positive phase end) of the analog comparator 22 is higher than that of the second end (i.e., the reverse end), the analog comparator 22 outputs a high level, the transistor 23 is not turned on, the coil of the relay 24 does not work, the normally closed contact connected to the interlocking circuit 4 is maintained closed, the interlocking circuit 4 remains in the pass state, and the equipment normally works. As shown in FIG. 3, when the real-time illumination intensity in the environment is greater than the preset illumination intensity, the resistance value of the photosensitive resistor 21 decreases (about 5KΩ-10KΩ), so that the potential of the second end (i.e., the reverse end) of the analog comparator 22 is higher than that of the third end (i.e., the positive phase end), the analog comparator 22 outputs a low level, the transistor 23 is turned on, the coil of the relay 24 works, the normally closed contact connected to the interlocking circuit 4 is maintained open, the interlocking circuit 4 forms an open circuit state, the equipment suspends work and generates an alarm signal. As an optional embodiment, the logic judging circuit 20 further comprises a diode 28 and a plurality of fixed resistors 27; the diode 28 is connected in parallel with the relay 24, to prevent the transistor 23 from being damaged by a reverse voltage generated after the coil of the relay 24 is powered off; the resistance values of the plurality of fixed resistors 27 are indefinite, and a person skilled in the art can configure the number, connection relationship and resistance values of the fixed resistors 27 according to actual conditions, and the embodiment does not limit this. Figure 4 Figure 5

[0054] ​​As an optional embodiment, the second end of the analog comparator 22 is also connected with an adjustable resistor 26, which is used to set the resistance value corresponding to the preset illuminance. Those skilled in the art can understand that the resistance value of the adjustable resistor 26 can be artificially adjusted to meet the needs of the circuit, and the common adjustable resistor 26 mainly changes the resistance value by changing the length of the resistor connected to the circuit. In this embodiment, the operator can set the resistance value corresponding to the preset illuminance by adjusting the resistance value of the adjustable resistor 26 to form the on and off conditions of the trigger circuit.
