Description

Technical field
The present invention relates to impedance match technique, particularly a kind of radio frequency automatic impedance matching method and radio frequency automatic impedance matcher.
Background technology
At typical radio frequency (RF, Radio Frequency) in the plasma producing apparatus, the RF generator of constant output impedance produces the RF ripple of fixed frequency, for plasma chamber provides RF power, produces the plasma that is used for etching or is used for other technology to excite.Wherein, the constant output impedance of RF generator is generally 50 Ω, and the fixed frequency of generation is generally 13.56MHz.Generally, the nonlinear load impedance of plasma chamber and the constant output impedance of RF generator are also unequal, so, between RF generator and plasma chamber, can there be more serious impedance mismatching, thereby make the bigger reflection power of existence on the RF transmission line between RF generator and the plasma chamber, the power that causes the RF generator to produce can't all flow to plasma chamber.
For addressing this problem, a radio frequency automatic impedance matcher is set between RF generator and plasma chamber in the prior art, as shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 forms structural representation for existing radio frequency automatic impedance matcher.As seen from Figure 1, this radio frequency automatic impedance matcher mainly is made up of transducer, controller and actuator's three parts; Further comprise variable impedance element in the matching network and the drive unit that changes the variable impedance element value in the actuator wherein.Here the matching network of being mentioned is meant by variable impedance element, is generally two, and the network of the nonlinear load impedance of plasma chamber composition.The parameters such as voltage, electric current, forward power and backward power of sensor on the RF transmission line between radio frequency automatic impedance matcher and the RF generator is for controller provides the coupling control algolithm required input variable.The parameter that this input variable normally further calculates according to parameters such as voltage, electric current, forward power and backward powers.Wherein, backward power is the reflection power that the front is introduced.Simultaneously, transducer also is used to detect the input impedance of matching network, exports to controller.The input variable that controller provides according to transducer and the input impedance of matching network by certain coupling control algolithm, calculate the adjustment amount of variable impedance element, and export to the drive unit in the actuator.Drive unit changes the impedance of variable impedance element according to the adjustment amount that is received from controller, thereby makes the input impedance of matching network equate with the constant output impedance of RF generator, promptly reaches impedance matching.Like this, the reflection power on the RF transmission line is zero, and the power that the RF generator produces all has been transported to plasma chamber.
Wherein, the coupling control algolithm that controller adopted can be determined according to the topological structure of matching network and the electrical characteristic of variable impedance element.In traditional impedance matching algorithm, the error signal between the constant output impedance of the RF generator that controller goes out according to sensor and the input impedance of matching network calculates the adjustment amount of the variable impedance element in the matching network according to predetermined way.Wherein, the constant output impedance of RF generator can be drawn according to calculation of parameter such as detected voltage, electric currents by transducer, and sends to controller as input variable.Above-mentioned adjustment amount can be the product of error signal and predefined coefficient, is adjusted the impedance of variable impedance element in the matching network then according to this adjustment amount by drive unit.Controller constantly repeats the process of " detection-calculating-adjusting ", and the error signal that goes out up to sensor meets certain requirements, such as, less than pre-set threshold, think that then system reaches coupling.
But the adjustment amount that adopts tradition coupling control algolithm to obtain is a general adjustment trend, is not an accurate numerical value, such as, may be the product of error signal noted earlier and predefined coefficient.So, when adopting traditional coupling control algolithm to carry out impedance matching, need consumed time longer, matching speed is slow.

For making purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, the present invention is described in further detail.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart of radio frequency automatic impedance matching method embodiment of the present invention.Because generally, the number of the variable impedance element in the matching network is 2, so be 2 to be that example describes with the variable impedance element number in the present embodiment.These two variable impedance elements can be variable capacitance or variable inductance.As shown in Figure 2, may further comprise the steps:
Step 201: controller obtains the impedance of current variable impedance element in the matching network and the current input impedance of matching network.
Wherein, the current input impedance of matching network can be detected according to prior art by transducer shown in Figure 1 and obtain, and sends to controller.The impedance of variable impedance element can be obtained by following dual mode:
Because the controller that uses in the radio frequency automatic impedance matcher is generally digitial controller, as single-chip microcomputer or digital signal processor (DSP, Digital Signal Processor) etc., and the characteristics of digitial controller be the information of previous moment are as can be known.In present embodiment, that is to say that controller can be known the impedance of the variable impedance element of previous moment.Like this, controller can calculate the adjustment amount of the variable impedance element of current time according to prior art.That is, the error signal between the constant output impedance of the RF generator that controller goes out according to sensor and the input impedance of matching network calculates the adjustment amount of the variable impedance element in the matching network according to predetermined way.Then, the impedance of the variable impedance element of adjustment amount that utilization calculates and known previous moment obtains the impedance of current variable impedance element by addition calculation.Need to prove, when controller started first, the initial value of controller can be set to 0, correspondingly, the initial value of two variable impedance elements also is set to 0, conforms to the impedance of actual variable impedance element with the impedance of the current variable impedance element that guarantees to preserve in the controller.Because the number of hypothesis variable impedance element is 2 in the present embodiment, be respectively Z so can suppose the impedance of the current variable impedance element that calculates in this step 1And Z 2
