It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a device for detecting the concentration of particulate matter in a liquid medicine, which is applied to semiconductor processing equipment and is used for detecting the concentration of particulate matter in the liquid medicine in a process tank 100 of the semiconductor processing equipment. The disclosed detection device includes an inlet tube 200, an outlet tube 300, and a detection assembly 400.
The detection assembly 400 includes a first light blocking housing 410, an ultrasonic emitter 420 and an optical signal collecting device 430, wherein the first light blocking housing 410 is communicated with the process tank 100 through a liquid inlet pipe 200 and a liquid outlet pipe 300, and forms a liquid medicine circulation loop. The liquid medicine in the process tank 100 is introduced into the first light blocking housing 410 through the liquid inlet pipe 200 and then flows into the process tank 100 through the liquid outlet pipe 300, thereby realizing the circulation of the liquid medicine.
The first light-blocking housing 410 has a light-transmitting region, and the remaining regions of the first light-blocking housing 410 except the light-transmitting region are opaque parts, that is, the light transmittance of the opaque parts is zero. The inside of the first light blocking case 410 is a dark environment. The optical signal collecting device 430 is disposed on an outer sidewall of the first light blocking housing 410, and is disposed opposite to the light transmitting region, and the ultrasonic transmitter 420 is disposed on an outer sidewall of the first light blocking housing 410.
The ultrasonic wave transmitter 420 is used for transmitting ultrasonic waves into the first light blocking housing 410 to generate an optical signal in the first light blocking housing 410. The optical signal collection device 430 is used for collecting optical signals, and the optical signals are used for obtaining the concentration of particulate matters in the liquid medicine.
The chemical solution may be, but is not limited to, an etching chemical solution.
During the etching process of the wafer, particles such as silicon dioxide are generated, the solubility of the particles in the chemical solution is low, the particles are often in the form of small-sized particles, and small bubbles exist around the particles, that is, the larger the concentration of the particles is, the more the small bubbles are. Therefore, the concentration of the particulate matter in the liquid medicine can be judged by the content of the small bubbles.
In the scheme disclosed by the invention, according to the principle of sonoluminescence, the ultrasonic transmitter 420 transmits ultrasonic waves to the first light-blocking shell 410, small bubbles in the liquid medicine can be quickly cavitated and burst under the vibration of the ultrasonic waves, a large amount of energy can be released at the moment of burst of the small bubbles, short pulse light is generated, optical signals are collected through the optical signal collection device 430, and the concentration of particles in the liquid medicine can be obtained through the measured optical signals. At this moment, the larger the concentration of the particulate matters in the liquid medicine is, the more the content of the small bubbles is, so that the concentration of the particulate matters measured by adopting the scheme is more accurate, and the error is smaller.
The above mentioned sonoluminescence principle is a well known technique and is therefore not described in detail herein.
In particular, the optical signal collection device 430 may be a photomultiplier tube, a photosensor, and other devices for collecting optical signals. The optical signal collection device 430 can convert the measured optical signal into an electrical signal, and the frequency of the electrical signal and the concentration of the particulate matter in the liquid medicine can be modeled by establishing a curve. By summarizing the particulate matter concentration and the frequency of the corresponding electrical signal, a curve model diagram can be established, so that the particulate matter concentration of the liquid medicine in the process tank 100 can be intuitively obtained. For example, the concentration of the particles in the liquid medicine can be obtained by performing inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry on the liquid medicine, and after the electric signals collected by the liquid medicine under the same condition are collected, a curve model is obtained, so that the concentration of the particles in the liquid medicine can be obtained through the frequency of the measured electric signals.

And heating the mixed current liquid medicine to the process temperature required by wafer etching, and then detecting the mixed current liquid medicine again to detect whether the concentration of the particles of the mixed current liquid medicine is within the range of the preset concentration.
And S5, if the concentration of the particulate matters is within the preset concentration range, ending the operation.
When the concentration of the particles in the liquid medicine in the process tank is not within the preset concentration range after the part of the liquid medicine in the process tank 100 is replaced, the liquid replacement operation can be circulated again until the concentration of the particles in the liquid medicine in the process tank meets the process requirement.
In the above scheme, detection device can real-time detection particulate matter concentration in the liquid medicine, and when particulate matter concentration was higher, the old liquid medicine of a small amount was got rid of, and a small amount of new liquid medicine is compensated, and owing to it is less to change the liquid volume, the temperature can rise to technology temperature in the short time to the fluctuation of liquid medicine can not be too big, and then the etching rate and the selectivity of easy control liquid medicine.
In the scheme, the liquid medicine in the semiconductor process equipment is replaced for multiple times, so that the liquid medicine replacement time and the liquid medicine temperature rise time can be effectively shortened, and the working efficiency of the semiconductor process equipment is improved. Meanwhile, only partial liquid medicine is discharged when the liquid medicine is replaced every time, so that the service life of the liquid medicine can be prolonged.
In the above embodiment, the detection device may be connected to a computer, so that online liquid change control of the liquid medicine may be realized.
For example, when the concentration of the particles in the current medical fluid is greater than the predetermined concentration, 5L of the current medical fluid may be drained, and then 5L of a new medical fluid may be added. And then heating the mixed current liquid medicine for 20min, thereby finishing the liquid medicine changing operation. When the liquid changing is finished, the concentration of the particles of the liquid medicine can be measured again, if the concentration of the particles of the current liquid medicine is smaller than the preset concentration, the liquid changing is finished, and when the concentration of the particles of the current liquid medicine is larger than the preset concentration, the liquid changing process is circulated.
In the above embodiments of the present invention, the difference between the embodiments is mainly described, and different optimization features between the embodiments can be combined to form a better embodiment as long as they are not contradictory, and further description is omitted here in view of brevity of the text.
The above description is only an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and alterations to this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
