background
The plasma etcher is a manufacturing device of integrated circuit devices and can be divided into a transmission cavity and a process cavity. In the process chamber, a radio frequency power supply provides energy, reaction gas is ionized under a vacuum condition to form a large number of plasmas, and the plasmas and a wafer generate various physical and chemical reactions under certain pressure and temperature, so that the surface performance of the material is changed, and the etching process of the wafer is completed.
in the etching process, a certain flow of reaction gas needs to be introduced into the process chamber, and the flow of the reaction gas is set through the flow controller. In general, the output of the flow controller will deviate, which causes the difference between the actual gas flow and the set value to be large, and affects the process result. To ensure the accuracy of the gas flow into the process chamber, the output of the flow controller needs to be periodically checked and calibrated.
the existing calibration methods are generally as follows: and calculating the flow output to the process chamber, comparing the flow with a set flow value, and if the deviation is larger, alarming on an interface of the upper computer to prompt a worker that the flow controller outputs the deviation and needs to be calibrated.
the gas flow value actually introduced into the process chamber is calculated according to the following flow calculation formula (1):
in equation (1), Q is the gas flow rate, R is the coefficient, V is the vessel volume, T is the gas temperature, and P' is the pressure rise rate.
The existing gas flow calibration method calculates the actual output flow through a formula (1), and the application premise of the formula (1) is as follows: 1. the volume of the container, namely the process chamber and the process pipeline is known; 2. the gas temperature is constant in the calibration process; 3. the pressure rise rate is known.
In practical applications, the above preconditions are difficult to guarantee, mainly because:
The volume of the process chamber is mostly calculated value in design, and the length of the process pipeline is also estimated value, so that certain error exists in the volume of the container.
in the flow calibration process, gas is not heated before being introduced into the chamber, and the gas is heated by the temperature of the chamber after being introduced into the chamber, namely, the gas temperature is not constant in the calibration process. In addition, the chamber temperature also fluctuates during this process and is not stable.
the pressure rise rate is calculated through a chamber pressure rise value within a certain time, and the chamber pressure value is read through a process gauge and a chamber gauge. However, the two gauges have different measurement ranges and different accuracies, so that the pressure sampling value of the gauge has a certain error, and further the pressure rise rate has an error.
Therefore, the existing calibration mode has high maintenance cost and seriously influences the debugging efficiency of the whole machine.
