Detailed Description
In order to further describe the present invention, detailed descriptions are given below of a method for controlling the pumping of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus, a device for controlling the pumping of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus, a computer-readable storage medium, and a specific embodiment of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The chemical vapor deposition process generally includes the steps of introducing a carrier gas into a reaction chamber of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus, introducing a reaction gas into the reaction chamber, performing thin film deposition on a wafer surface, performing a post-treatment stage, purging particles on the wafer surface, and exhausting gas (i.e., exhausting stage) in the reaction chamber.
In the pumping stage, as the gas in the reaction chamber is pumped out, the phenomenon that the particles floating in the gas are partially attached to the surface of the wafer occurs due to the change of the pressure in the reaction chamber, so that the wafer defect is caused, and the yield of the wafer is affected. Based on the above, the invention controls the opening of the throttle valve in stages so as to control the pressure change in the reaction chamber and improve the condition that the particles adhere to the surface of the wafer.
Fig. 1 shows a flow of a pumping control method of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the pumping control method of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus includes:
step S10, when the chemical vapor deposition process enters the air extraction stage, a throttle valve of the chemical vapor deposition equipment is controlled to open a preset opening.
The throttle valve is arranged between the reaction chamber and the air pump of the chemical vapor deposition equipment and used for communicating and blocking the reaction chamber and the air pump.
In this step, when the chemical vapor deposition process enters the pumping stage, the throttle valve is controlled to open by a preset opening degree which does not reach the maximum opening degree of the throttle valve, that is, when entering the pumping stage, the throttle valve is controlled to open a part.
In an embodiment, the preset opening degree may be preset according to the condition of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus, for example, set to 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or the like of the maximum opening degree of the throttle valve.
In another embodiment, the preset opening is related to the current air pressure value in the reaction chamber when the pumping stage is entered, and the larger the current air pressure value is, the larger the preset opening is. That is, in this embodiment, the preset opening degree is proportional to the current air pressure value. And the preset opening of the throttle valve can be determined through the current air pressure value in the reaction chamber by presetting the corresponding relation between the air pressure value and the opening of the throttle valve.
Specifically, when the chemical vapor deposition process enters the pumping stage, a current air pressure value in a reaction chamber of the chemical vapor deposition equipment is obtained. And determining a target opening corresponding to the current air pressure value of the reaction chamber in the corresponding relation between the air pressure value and the opening of the throttle valve based on the corresponding relation between the pre-stored air pressure value and the opening of the throttle valve, and taking the target opening as the preset opening of the throttle valve when entering the air extraction stage. And when the air suction stage is started, the throttle valve is controlled to open a preset opening.
In this embodiment, the opening of the throttle valve can be controlled more effectively when the pumping stage is entered, depending on the value of the air pressure in the reaction chamber.
In step S20, the pump is controlled to pump the gas in the reaction chamber of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus.
And after entering the air extraction stage, controlling the throttle valve to open a preset opening, controlling the air extraction pump to operate, and extracting the gas in the reaction chamber.
In one embodiment, the pump is a fixed frequency pump, i.e. the output power of the pump is always at a fixed value, and the pump is always operated with a fixed output power during the whole pumping phase.
In another embodiment, the pump is a variable frequency pump, the output power of the pump is adjusted according to the opening of the throttle valve, and the output power of the pump is inversely proportional to the opening of the throttle valve, i.e. the larger the opening of the throttle valve, the smaller the output power of the pump.
And step S30, controlling to increase the opening of the throttle valve every time the preset condition is met until the throttle valve is completely opened.
In this step, in order to better control the gas pressure in the reaction chamber, the adhesion of particles in the gas to the wafer surface during the pumping process is alleviated. And in the execution process of the air extraction stage, the opening degree of the throttle valve is adjusted for a plurality of times until the throttle valve is fully opened. While preset conditions are set to control the timing of increasing the opening degree of the throttle valve.
In one embodiment, the preset condition is a preset time, that is, the gas in the reaction chamber is controlled to be pumped, and the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be increased every preset time, until the throttle valve is completely opened.
The preset time may be set according to the specific situation of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus, for example, the preset time is 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 7 seconds, etc., and the present invention is not limited to the specific time.
In another embodiment, the preset condition is a preset pressure change percentage, that is, the increase of the opening of the throttle valve is controlled according to the change condition of the air pressure in the reaction chamber.
Specifically, the gas in the reaction chamber is controlled to be pumped, and when the pressure value in the reaction chamber is reduced by a preset pressure change percentage, the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be increased until the throttle valve is completely opened. The predetermined percentage of pressure change is based on the value of the gas pressure in the reaction chamber at the beginning of the pumping phase.
The preset pressure change percentage can be set according to the specific conditions of the chemical vapor deposition equipment, for example, the preset pressure change percentage is 10%, 20%, 30%, etc., and the invention is not limited by specific numerical values.
In one embodiment, the opening of the throttle valve is increased the same each time the preset condition is reached. I.e. the opening of the throttle valve is increased by the same amount, e.g. by 20%, 25%, 30% of the total opening, etc., each time the preset condition is reached.
For example, when the pumping phase starts, the preset opening of the throttle valve is 25%, when the preset condition is reached for the first time, the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be increased by 25%, and when the preset condition is reached for the second time, the opening of the throttle valve is still controlled to be increased by 25%, until the throttle valve is fully opened.
In another embodiment, the throttle valve increases in opening gradually every time the preset condition is reached, and the throttle valve increases in opening in proportion to the number of adjustments of the throttle valve opening.
Specifically, the opening degree by which the throttle valve is increased is different every time the preset condition is reached, and the opening degree by which the throttle valve is increased each time becomes larger as the number of adjustments increases. For example, when the preset condition is reached for the first time, the opening of the throttle valve is increased by 25% on the basis of the preset opening, and when the preset condition is reached for the second time, the throttle valve is increased by 50% on the basis of the opening after the first time adjustment.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the method for controlling the pumping of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus further includes:
step S40, when detecting that the opening of the throttle valve changes, acquiring the current opening of the throttle valve.
In this step, the change in the opening degree of the throttle valve is detected in real time, and the current opening degree of the throttle valve is obtained each time the change in the opening degree of the throttle valve is detected. The opening degree variation of the throttle valve includes: and in the air extraction stage, controlling the throttle valve to open a preset opening degree, and controlling the opening degree of the throttle valve to be increased every time a preset condition is reached.
And step S50, controlling the output power of the air pump according to the current opening degree.
It is known that in general, the throttle valve in the pumping stage is fully opened at one time, and the throttle valve in the present invention is opened multiple times in stages until it is fully opened. If the output power of the air pump is unchanged all the time, the air pumping time of the air pumping stage is obviously longer than the time of opening the air throttle valve at one time. The time of the whole chemical vapor deposition process is necessarily increased, and the production efficiency is affected.
Based on this, the output power of the suction pump of the present invention is set to be adjustable, and how much of the output power is dependent on the opening degree of the throttle valve. Specifically, the output power of the air pump is inversely proportional to the size of the throttle valve, i.e., the smaller the opening of the throttle valve, the greater the output power of the air pump.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an exhaust control apparatus of a chemical vapor deposition device, as shown in fig. 3, the apparatus including: a throttle opening module 10, an air extraction control module 20 and an opening adjustment module 30.

The throttle valve is arranged between the reaction chamber and the air pump of the chemical vapor deposition equipment and used for communicating and blocking the reaction chamber and the air pump.
The throttle valve opening module 10 controls the throttle valve to open a preset opening degree when the chemical vapor deposition process enters the pumping stage, that is, controls the throttle valve to open a part when the chemical vapor deposition process enters the pumping stage.
In an embodiment, the preset opening degree may be preset according to the condition of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus, for example, set to 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or the like of the maximum opening degree of the throttle valve.
In another embodiment, the preset opening is related to the current air pressure value in the reaction chamber when the pumping stage is entered, and the larger the current air pressure value is, the larger the preset opening is. That is, in this embodiment, the preset opening degree is proportional to the current air pressure value. The throttle opening module 10 may further determine the preset opening of the throttle valve by the current air pressure value in the reaction chamber through the corresponding relationship between the preset air pressure value and the opening of the throttle valve.
Specifically, when the chemical vapor deposition process enters the pumping stage, the throttle valve opening module 10 acquires the current pressure value in the reaction chamber of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus. And determining a target opening corresponding to the current air pressure value of the reaction chamber in the corresponding relation between the air pressure value and the opening of the throttle valve based on the corresponding relation between the pre-stored air pressure value and the opening of the throttle valve, and taking the target opening as the preset opening of the throttle valve when entering the air extraction stage. And when the air suction stage is started, the throttle valve is controlled to open a preset opening.
In this embodiment, the opening of the throttle valve can be controlled more effectively when the pumping stage is entered, depending on the value of the air pressure in the reaction chamber.

The opening adjustment module 30 is configured to control to increase the opening of the throttle valve until the throttle valve is fully opened every time a preset condition is reached.
In order to better control the gas pressure in the reaction chamber, the condition that particles in the gas adhere to the surface of the wafer in the pumping process is relieved. During the execution of the pumping phase, the opening adjustment module 30 adjusts the opening of the throttle valve a plurality of times until the throttle valve is fully opened. While preset conditions are set to control the timing of increasing the opening degree of the throttle valve.
In one embodiment, the preset condition is a preset time, that is, the gas in the reaction chamber is controlled to be pumped, and the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be increased every preset time, until the throttle valve is completely opened.

Specifically, the gas in the reaction chamber is controlled to be pumped, and when the pressure value in the reaction chamber is reduced by a preset pressure change percentage, the opening of the throttle valve is controlled to be increased until the throttle valve is completely opened.
