Detailed Description
Features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below, and in order to make objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.
It is noted that, herein, relational terms such as first and second, and the like may be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Also, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
First, technical terms related to the embodiments of the present invention are described.
The solar cell is a photoelectric semiconductor sheet which directly generates electricity by using sunlight, is also called as a solar chip or a photovoltaic cell, and can output voltage instantly and generate current under the condition of a loop as long as the solar cell is illuminated under a certain illumination condition.
The most important two directions of solar cell research are high efficiency and low cost, and in the cell production process, because the graphite boat loading quantity of the coating equipment is far less than that of the diffusion and annealing equipment, and the capacity bottleneck of a workshop is always the coating equipment, the reduction of the process failure boat and the reduction of reworked wafers become important research points for improving the production capacity of the coating equipment.
The parameter anomaly detection method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be at least applied to the following application scenarios, which are explained below.
As shown in figure 1, the method relates to a deposition step process part in a coating process section in the process of manufacturing a crystalline silicon solar cell, and target parameters of temperature, flow, radio frequency and pressure in the deposition step directly influence the film thickness of a coated silicon wafer. Changes in both hardware and environment cause fluctuations in the parameter values of these four parameters, such as: the connection line of the radio frequency power supply is connected in a virtual mode, the pumping speed of the pump is reduced after long-term use, the flow of a factory building is fluctuated, the temperature of a cavity is fluctuated due to radio frequency discharge, and the like, or the set value of a process skipping parameter is changed.
The fluctuation of the parameter value has two conditions, one is instantaneous jump, if the occurrence frequency is less, the filtering can be directly carried out, and when the frequency is more, the process result can be influenced; the other is continuous fluctuation, the fluctuation is within a certain range or has small influence on the process result, when the fluctuation range is large or the fluctuation duration is long, the process result is influenced, the silicon wafer reworking is seriously caused, and the equipment productivity is influenced.
Currently, in the process of semiconductor equipment, only one parameter fluctuation reference value exists in each process step, and the reference value does not change along with the process time of the process step. By comparing the actual parameter value with the reference parameter value, timing is started when the fluctuation of the actual parameter value relative to the reference parameter value is large, and alarm processing is performed when the fluctuation is large for a certain time. And if the fluctuation returns to normal within a certain time, clearing the timing, and restarting the timing after waiting for the next larger fluctuation. However, each process step in the process only has one reference value, and in a plurality of process steps in the process, the tolerable fluctuation ranges of various conditions at various times are different, so that the prior art cannot meet the judgment of the conditions; moreover, only continuous abnormal fluctuation can be detected, and other fluctuation influencing the process result cannot be detected and judged; in addition, the judgment process cannot realize early warning on the abnormality of the equipment hardware, and the judgment can be realized only when the abnormality really occurs.
Based on the above problems and application scenarios, the parameter anomaly detection method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below.
The embodiment of the invention provides a parameter abnormality detection method which is applied to semiconductor process equipment, wherein the process of the semiconductor process equipment comprises a plurality of process steps which are sequentially carried out.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a parameter anomaly detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the parameter anomaly detection method may include steps 210 to 240, which are specifically as follows:
and step 210, acquiring actual parameter values of the target parameters at each preset time point in the process step.
Step 220, dispersing the actual parameter value of the target parameter into a pre-acquired parameter relation graph, and determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal under the condition that the actual parameter value of the target parameter at the preset time point, which changes along with the preset time precision, and the normal parameter value of the corresponding preset time point in the parameter relation graph meet preset abnormal conditions, wherein the parameter relation graph is a relation graph of the normal parameter value of the target parameter in the process step, which changes along with each preset time point.
Step 230, adjusting the process according to the adjustment scheme corresponding to the preset abnormal condition.
And 240, outputting prompt information corresponding to the preset abnormal conditions.
In the parameter anomaly detection method provided by the invention, the parameter value of the target parameter in the preset time period of each process step in the process is collected; determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal under the condition that the relation between the detected parameter value and the parameter relation graph obtained in advance meets the preset abnormal condition; the parameter relation graph is used for indicating the relation between time in the process and a target parameter value; the acquired actual parameter values can be compared with the target parameter values at corresponding moments in the parameter relation diagram, and whether parameter abnormality occurs in the technological process can be accurately and quickly detected; therefore, the corresponding adjusting scheme can be triggered to adjust the process rapidly and efficiently, and the prompt message corresponding to the preset abnormal condition is output, so that the yield of the equipment can be improved, the abnormal handling capacity of the equipment can be improved, and the safety is improved by increasing the detection speed of the parameter abnormality.
The contents of steps 210-240 are described below:
and 210, acquiring actual parameter values and target parameters of the target parameters at all preset time points in the process step.
Wherein, the parameter values of the target parameters mentioned above may include: temperature, flow, radio frequency and pressure and butterfly valve angle.
As shown in fig. 3, the relationship between the target parameter values of each process step in the process as time goes on is represented in the parameter relationship diagram. The parameter relation graph can be determined according to the relation between the time set in each process step of the normal process and the target parameter value. The first dimension (abscissa) of the parameter relationship diagram may be time, the time is generally the process time of the process step, the numerical value of the first dimension represents preset time points, the interval of each preset time point is preset time precision, the preset time point is 0 at the beginning and is step time of the process step at the end, the unit is second, illustratively, the preset time points are respectively 0-23, and the preset time precision is 1 s. The second dimension (ordinate) of the parameter map may be the target parameter value, i.e. the curve of the target parameter value over time in the corresponding process step. And the point corresponding to the change curve of each preset time point is the normal parameter value of the target parameter value at the preset time point. The accuracy and unit of the second dimension are determined according to the corresponding target parameters. Specifically, the parameter relationship diagram is determined according to the process recipe and the parameter type of the process step, and the required time precision and the parameter precision requirement. The higher the precision and the higher the complexity, the higher the precision of calculating the fluctuation of the actual parameter value and the target parameter value, and the fewer the false alarm and missed alarm conditions.
And when the technological process is skipped, namely the technological process is carried out from one technological step to the next technological step, the parameter relation graph of the corresponding technological step is obtained again.
In an embodiment, in step 220, when the actual parameter value at the preset time point, which is changed along with the preset time precision, of the target parameter and the normal parameter value at the preset time point corresponding to the parameter relation diagram satisfy the preset abnormal condition, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal may specifically include the following steps:
determining a preset parameter fluctuation interval corresponding to each preset time point by the normal parameter value according to the parameter relation graph;
counting to obtain abnormal times in response to the fact that the actual parameter value corresponding to the preset time point exceeds the parameter fluctuation interval corresponding to the preset time point;
if the abnormal times are larger than a preset first threshold value, determining that the target parameters in the process steps are abnormal, and the target parameters are in a first abnormal state;
and if the abnormal times are less than a preset first threshold value, determining the deviation between the actual parameter value corresponding to each preset time point and the corresponding normal parameter value, and if the deviation meets a preset abnormal condition, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal.
And determining a parameter fluctuation interval corresponding to each preset time point of the normal parameter value according to the parameter relation graph, wherein the parameter fluctuation interval can be specifically shown as a black curve in fig. 3. Each preset time point has an allowable deviation, namely an 'i' -shaped solid line in the vertical direction in fig. 3, and if the actual parameter value appears in the parameter fluctuation interval, it indicates that the target parameter at the preset time point is normal; and if the actual parameter value exceeds the parameter fluctuation interval, indicating that the target parameter at the preset time point is abnormal.
Generally, according to the existing detection technology, when the parameter value suddenly jumps abnormally and then returns to the normal range in the process, the parameter is not considered to be abnormal, and the target parameter abnormality in the process step can be found only when the process finishes detecting the silicon wafer process result.
The parameter abnormity detection method provided by the embodiment of the invention processes the parameter abnormity detection method. As shown in fig. 4, when the frequency of the parameter value exceeding the parameter fluctuation interval is very high, the process result is also affected. If the abnormality is detected in the process and the abnormality processing is carried out in advance, much time can be saved and the productivity of the equipment can be improved.
For the situation, counting is carried out in response to the fact that the actual parameter value corresponding to the preset time point exceeds the parameter fluctuation interval corresponding to the preset time point, and abnormal times are obtained; and if the abnormal times are larger than a preset first threshold value, determining that the target parameters in the process steps are abnormal, and the target parameters are in a first abnormal state.
Specifically, a mode of an exception counter may be adopted, the counter is valid in the process step, and the counter is cleared after the step skipping. When one abnormity occurs in the process step, adding 1 to an abnormity counter, and accumulating to obtain the abnormity times; determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal under the condition that the abnormal times are greater than a preset first threshold value; and determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal under the condition that the abnormal times are less than or equal to the first threshold value.
As shown in fig. 4, a certain target parameter in the process step jumps 7 times in total, and if the preset first threshold is 5 times, it indicates that the number of times of abnormality is greater than the preset first threshold, and the target parameter in the process step is abnormal.
Generally, according to the existing parameter detection technology, the fluctuation of the actual parameter value at each time point is within a reasonable range, or the number of abnormalities is smaller than a preset first threshold, and then it is considered to be normal. The target parameter abnormality in the process step can only be found when the process is finished and the silicon wafer process result is detected.
In view of the above situation, the embodiment of the present application designs the detection method, and determines a deviation between an actual parameter value and a corresponding normal parameter value corresponding to each preset time point if the number of abnormal times is less than a preset first threshold, and determines that a target parameter in a process step is abnormal if the deviation satisfies a preset abnormal condition.
As shown in fig. 5, before the process step skipping, the calculated accumulated deviation of the process step exceeds the tolerable parameter fluctuation interval of the process step. If the abnormity is detected before jumping to the next step and then abnormity processing is carried out, much time can be saved, and the equipment productivity is improved.
Specifically, the deviation between the actual parameter value corresponding to each preset time point and the corresponding normal parameter value may be determined, and if the deviation satisfies a preset abnormal condition, it is determined that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal.
In one possible embodiment, if the target parameter is in the first abnormal state, adjusting the process according to the adjustment scheme corresponding to the preset abnormal condition includes: terminating the process;
outputting prompt information corresponding to the preset abnormal condition, comprising: and outputting first prompt information, wherein the first prompt information is used for prompting the wiring condition of the inspection equipment and/or inspecting the air source parameters of the factory building.
And determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal under the condition that the abnormal times are greater than a preset first threshold value. The abnormity is mostly caused by hardware or environmental factors such as line virtual connection, unstable pressure of each air source of a factory building and the like, process compensation can not be carried out according to fluctuation deviation due to unpredictability and quantization, and once the abnormity processing mode is triggered, the process is directly terminated no matter what parameter types.
And inputting first prompt information for prompting equipment personnel to check the wiring condition of the equipment or to investigate the air source of a workshop and the like.
It should be noted that fig. 5 shows a case where the number of anomalies of the parameter fluctuation interval corresponding to the actual parameter value exceeding the preset time point is 0, and also a case where the number of anomalies of the parameter fluctuation interval corresponding to the actual parameter value exceeding the preset time point is smaller than a preset first threshold, where the preset first threshold is a positive integer.
In one embodiment, determining a deviation between an actual parameter value corresponding to each preset time point and a corresponding normal parameter value, and if the deviation satisfies a preset abnormal condition, determining that a target parameter in the process step is abnormal, including:
under the condition that the actual parameter value at the preset time point is larger than the normal parameter value corresponding to the preset time point, the accumulated larger value between the actual parameter value and the normal parameter value is calculated;
under the condition that the actual parameter value at the preset time point is smaller than the normal parameter value corresponding to the preset time point, the accumulative minimum value between the actual parameter value and the normal parameter value is counted;
if the difference value between the accumulated larger value and the preset larger threshold value is larger than a preset second threshold value, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal; and/or
And if the difference value between the accumulated smaller value and the preset smaller threshold value is larger than a preset third threshold value, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal.
Illustratively, the target parameter is temperature, for a given preset time point, the parameter value of the preset time point is 20 degrees celsius, the target parameter value corresponding to the preset time point in the parameter relation graph is 15 degrees celsius, the larger value of the preset time point is 5 degrees celsius, and so on, the larger value corresponding to each time point in the preset time period is accumulated to obtain an accumulated larger value. And determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal under the condition that the difference value (20 ℃) between the accumulated larger value (such as 50 ℃) and a preset larger threshold (such as 30 ℃) is larger than a preset second threshold (10 ℃).
Illustratively, the target parameter is pressure, for a given preset time point, the parameter value of the preset time point is 20 pa, the target parameter value corresponding to the preset time point in the parameter relation graph is 30 pa, the minimum value of the preset time point is 10 pa, and so on, the minimum value corresponding to each preset time point in the preset time period is accumulated to obtain an accumulated minimum value. And determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal under the condition that the difference value (20 Pa) between the accumulated smaller value (such as 50 Pa) and the preset smaller threshold value (such as 30 Pa) is greater than the preset third threshold value (10 Pa).
In a possible embodiment, determining a deviation between an actual parameter value corresponding to each preset time point and a corresponding normal parameter value, and if the deviation satisfies a preset abnormal condition, determining that a target parameter in the process step is abnormal, including:
determining the difference value between the actual parameter value of each preset time point and the normal parameter value corresponding to each preset time point, and summing the difference values to obtain a total deviation value;
if the total deviation value is larger than zero and the difference value between the total deviation value and the preset fourth threshold value is larger than zero, determining that the target parameter is abnormal in the process step and the target parameter is in a second abnormal state;
and if the total deviation value is smaller than zero and the difference value between the absolute value of the total deviation value and the preset fifth threshold value is larger than zero, determining that the target parameter is abnormal in the process step and the target parameter is in a third abnormal state.
And when the requirement of the process on the parameter stability is high and the large abnormality and the small abnormality cannot be mutually offset, namely the difference value between the total deviation value obtained by accumulating the deviation values corresponding to the preset time points of each acquired parameter value and the preset fourth threshold value is greater than zero, determining that the target parameter is abnormal in the process step and the target parameter is in a second abnormal state.
Illustratively, the cumulative maximum value is 50 degrees Celsius, and the cumulative minimum value is-20 degrees Celsius; the total deviation value is 30 degrees celsius, the 30 degrees celsius (total deviation value) is greater than zero, and a difference between the 30 degrees celsius (total deviation value) and the 10 degrees celsius (preset fourth threshold value) is greater than zero (30 degrees celsius-10 degrees celsius is 20 degrees celsius), it is determined that the target parameter is abnormal in the process step and the target parameter is in the second abnormal state.
Illustratively, a cumulative upper value of 50 degrees Celsius and a cumulative lower value of-80 degrees Celsius are obtained; the total deviation value is-30 degrees centigrade, the-30 degrees centigrade (total deviation value) is less than zero, and the difference value between the total deviation value and the preset fifth threshold value is as follows: and if the temperature is 20 ℃ or more, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal and the target parameter is in a third abnormal state.
In a possible embodiment, the semiconductor processing equipment is a coating equipment, wherein if the target parameter is a temperature parameter and the processing step is a deposition step, and the target parameter is in a second abnormal state, the process is adjusted according to an adjustment scheme corresponding to a preset abnormal condition, including:
terminating the process;
if the target parameter is a radio frequency parameter and the process step is a deposition step, and the target parameter is in a second abnormal state, adjusting the process according to an adjustment scheme corresponding to a preset abnormal condition, including:
carrying out process compensation treatment on the process;
if the target parameter is a temperature parameter, the process step is a deposition step or a heating step, and the target parameter is in a third abnormal state, adjusting the process according to an adjustment scheme corresponding to a preset abnormal condition, including:
and carrying out process compensation treatment on the process progress.
If the target parameter is a temperature parameter and the process step is a deposition step, the condition that the target parameter is in a second abnormal state can cause the film coating result of the silicon chip to be thicker, and the process is directly stopped;
under the condition that the target parameter is a radio frequency parameter and the process step is a deposition step, performing compensation treatment on the process; because only the deposition step generates radio frequency arc, the condition that the target parameter is in the second abnormal state can lead the film coating result of the silicon chip to be thinner, and at this time, a processing mode of compensating the process step for a certain time before the step jump can be adopted to ensure the film coating thickness. Wherein the compensation time may be determined based on the number of radio frequency arcs that occur.
And if the target parameter is a temperature parameter, the process step is a deposition step or a heating step, and the target parameter is in a third abnormal state, performing process compensation treatment on the process progress.
If the process step is a temperature rise step or a deposition step and the target parameter is in a third abnormal state, the film coating result of the silicon wafer is thin, and a compensation measure for compensating the process step for a certain time before the jump step can be adopted to ensure the film coating thickness. If the other process steps are adopted, the influence is small and can be ignored.
In a possible embodiment, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal when the normal parameter value at the preset time point corresponding to the relationship between the actual parameter value at the preset time point and the normal parameter value at the preset time point in the parameter relationship diagram, where the target parameter varies with the preset time accuracy, meets a preset abnormal condition includes:
comparing the actual parameter value corresponding to each preset time point with the corresponding normal parameter value;
if the actual parameter value corresponding to the preset time point is larger than the corresponding normal parameter value and the larger value is larger than a preset sixth threshold value, counting the larger times to obtain the total larger times;
if the actual parameter value corresponding to the preset time point is smaller than the corresponding normal parameter value and the smaller value is smaller than a preset seventh threshold value, counting the smaller times to obtain the total smaller times;
under the condition that the total large times and the total small times meet a preset time condition, carrying out Fourier transform on the actual parameter value to obtain a frequency spectrum curve corresponding to the actual parameter value;
and determining that the target parameters in the process steps are abnormal under the condition that the frequency spectrum curve meets the preset discrete condition.
In general, the conventional parameter detection technology is considered to be normal when the fluctuation of the periodic waveform of the sawtooth shape is abnormal, that is, when the parameter value becomes abnormally large and small. Such anomalies generally do not affect the process results, but are indicative of a problem with the corresponding hardware control capabilities of the equipment.
If the hardware is processed and maintained in time, the abnormity affecting the process can be avoided. Can save much time and improve the productivity of the equipment.
Aiming at the situation, the actual parameter values corresponding to the preset time points and the corresponding normal parameter values can be compared; as shown in fig. 6, if the actual parameter value corresponding to the preset time point is greater than the corresponding normal parameter value, and the large value is greater than the preset sixth threshold, counting the large number of times to obtain the total large number of times; and if the actual parameter value corresponding to the preset time point is smaller than the corresponding normal parameter value and the small value is smaller than a preset seventh threshold value, counting the small times to obtain the total small times.
Under the condition that the total large number of times and the total small number of times satisfy the preset number of times condition, performing fourier transform on the actual parameter value to obtain a spectrum curve corresponding to the actual parameter value, which may specifically include:
if the total number of larger times N1> the expected larger threshold; and the total number of partial minima N2> the expected minimum threshold; and | N1-N2| < δ 1(δ 1 is close to 0).
Namely, the total large times and the total small times exceed the expected threshold, and the difference between the total large times and the total small times is not much, the Fourier transform is performed on the parameter value to obtain a frequency spectrum curve corresponding to the parameter value, so as to start to judge whether the target parameter has periodicity.
The Fourier transform is one of the most basic methods in time domain and frequency domain transform analysis, and the target parameter abnormality in the process step is determined under the condition that a frequency spectrum curve corresponding to the parameter value obtained by the Fourier transform meets a preset discrete condition.
Wherein, under the condition that the frequency spectrum curve meets the preset discrete condition, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal comprises the following steps:
determining the number of actual parameter values of which the frequency values are smaller than a preset eighth threshold value from the frequency spectrum curve;
and if the ratio of the number of the actual parameter values of which the frequency values are smaller than the preset eighth threshold value to the number of the preset time points is larger than the preset ninth threshold value, determining that the target parameter in the process step is abnormal.
If the parameter value changes periodically, the spectrum curve is discrete, as shown in fig. 7, and the parameter value only appears in a limited number of frequencies; the target parameter is only in a limited number of frequencies, and is in abnormal sawtooth periodic fluctuation, so that the target parameter in the process step can be determined to be abnormal, and abnormal treatment needs to be triggered.
If the actual parameter values vary non-periodically, the spectral curve is continuous, as shown in FIG. 8, and the actual parameter values occur randomly within each frequency. The target parameters are randomly appeared in each frequency and do not belong to abnormal sawtooth periodic fluctuation, and the target parameters in the process steps can be determined not to be abnormal.
In fig. 7 and 8, the abscissa represents frequency, and the ordinate represents parameter values.

On one hand, under the condition that the process is finished, an adjusting instruction is output to the temperature control meter, and the instruction is used for the temperature control meter to adjust the temperature parameters.
The parameters that are typically required to handle the periodic, anomalous fluctuations in the sawtooth shape are temperature and butterfly valve angle. After the equipment runs for a long time, the stability of the equipment is poor, and the equipment is indicated to be required to be maintained when the abnormality occurs, so that the current process is not processed, but the temperature and the butterfly valve maintenance mode are automatically touched by software after the process is finished, and the process can be continued after the maintenance.

The valve can be used for controlling the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, slurry, oil products, liquid metal, radioactive media and the like. The pipe mainly plays a role in cutting off and throttling. The butterfly valve opening and closing piece is a disc-shaped butterfly plate and rotates around the axis of the butterfly plate in the valve body, so that the opening and closing or adjusting purpose is achieved.
Aiming at the condition that the target parameter is the angle parameter, the butterfly valve has a learning function, and after the frequency spectrum curve is detected to meet the preset discrete condition, a learning command can be automatically issued to the butterfly valve after the process is finished, so that the adjustment of PI (proportion (P) and integral (I) of deviation) is completed.
