During the heating and baking process, substrate temperature uniformity is crucial to achieving process specifications. Existing technologies, such as Chinese patent application publication number CN103792974A, employ a technical solution to improve the temperature uniformity of the hot plate by optimizing the heating circuit and appropriately increasing the number of heater zones.

[0003] However, increasing the number of heater zones will significantly increase the heater development cycle and R&D cost expenditure, significantly increase the cost of the temperature control part, and at the same time take up more space for installing hardware and impose stricter control requirements during the heater manufacturing process, which can easily cause the heater yield to decrease, which in turn is passed on to increased heater costs.

[0004] By increasing the partitions to optimize the heating circuit, this approach will produce more outgoing line designs, making the routing more complicated and increasing the difficulty of designing the surrounding structure of the heater.

[0079] FIG8 is a schematic diagram of a working state of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] 1 and 8 , the semiconductor device shown in FIG8 includes the semiconductor substrate heating device 1 shown in FIG1 and a temperature calibration unit 83. The outer wall 15 and sealing plate 14 shown in FIG1 are components of the accommodating cavity 82 shown in FIG8 . The accommodating cavity 82 and the cover 81 form a heating cavity.

[0081] 1 and 8 , the temperature calibration unit 83 contacts the top surface of the heating plate 11 to obtain and feed back temperature calibration information. The main control unit 86 is disposed outside the heating cavity (not shown in the figure) and is communicatively connected to at least one of the compensation control unit 13 and the temperature calibration unit 83.

[0082] In some specific embodiments, the temperature calibration unit 83 includes a temperature measuring wafer 84 and a temperature sensor feedback device 85 that are communicatively connected. The temperature measuring wafer 84 is communicatively connected to the main control unit 86 via the temperature sensor feedback device 85.

[0083] The temperature control method of the semiconductor device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: driving at least one temperature compensation unit 12 through the compensation control unit 13 to perform temperature compensation adjustment on the heating plate 11.

[0084] In some embodiments, the step of driving at least one of the temperature compensation units 12 to perform temperature compensation adjustment on the heating plate 11 through the compensation control unit 13 includes: controlling the compensation control unit 13 through the main control unit 86, thereby driving at least one of the temperature compensation units 12 to perform temperature compensation adjustment on the heating plate 11.

[0085] In some embodiments, before executing the step of controlling the compensation control unit 13 through the main control unit 86, the temperature measuring wafer 84 is placed on the top surface of the heating plate 11, and the temperature of each temperature control area of ​​the heating plate 11 is increased through the control of the main control unit 86 so that the temperature of the temperature measuring wafer 84 reaches the target temperature.

[0086] Specifically, during the heating process of the heating plate 11, the temperature sensor feedback device 85 feeds back the temperature values ​​of each temperature measurement sampling point of the temperature measurement wafer 84 to the main control unit 86. The main control unit 86 compares the average temperature calculated based on the received temperature values ​​of each temperature measurement sampling point with the target temperature to determine whether the temperature measurement wafer has reached the target temperature.

[0087] Prior art typically uses zoned control of the heating plate 11 to adjust the temperature uniformity of the heating plate 11. For example, the heating plate 11 may be divided into seven zones, thirteen zones, fifteen zones, and so on. Considering the layout requirements of functional components and the limitations of wiring installation, the number of zones of the heating plate 11 cannot be infinite. Each zone includes multiple temperature measurement sampling points on the temperature measurement wafer 84. For example, when the temperature measurement wafer 84 indicates that the temperature uniformity of a zone, such as the first zone, does not meet process requirements and requires temperature adjustment, the main control unit 86 will control the first zone to increase its temperature. However, this adjustment can lead to the following problem: the average temperature of some of the multiple temperature measurement sampling points within the first zone may be lower than the target temperature, while the temperature of some of these temperature measurement sampling points may be higher than the target temperature, and the temperature difference between these and the target temperature is likely to be different. Even for temperature-controlled zones with temperatures below the target temperature, the temperature difference between these and the target temperature is likely to be different. It can be seen that the temperature adjustment performed on a single zone can easily cause the problem of uneven temperature over the entire range of the heating plate 11 .

[0088] In addition, the above-mentioned zoning control method requires independent temperature control for each zone, which significantly increases the cost of the temperature control part, and the finer the zoning, the higher the cost.

[0089] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, after the temperature of the temperature measuring wafer 84 reaches the target temperature, the temperature sensor feedback device 85 obtains temperature information from each temperature measuring area of ​​the temperature measuring wafer 84. Based on this temperature information, multiple temperature control compensation areas on the bottom surface of the heating plate 11 are determined for temperature compensation. The compensation control unit 13 then controls the corresponding temperature compensation unit 12 to increase or decrease the temperature to achieve the purpose of temperature compensation.

[0090] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to these embodiments. However, it should be understood that such modifications and variations are within the scope and spirit of the invention as described herein. Furthermore, the invention described herein is susceptible to other embodiments and may be practiced or implemented in a variety of ways.
