Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2. Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic structure of an uv curing station according to some embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 2 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a hydrogen pipeline provided according to some embodiments of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the uv curing apparatus includes a process chamber 10 and a hydrogen gas line 20. The process chamber 10 includes a quartz window 101, a pressure control module 102, a temperature control module, an ultraviolet light source 104, and a reflecting device 105. The quartz window 101 is used to close the upper space of the process chamber 10 and allow ultraviolet light provided by the upper ultraviolet light source 104 and/or the reflecting means 105 to irradiate the sample within the observation process chamber 10 through the quartz window 101 to perform an ultraviolet curing process thereon. The temperature control module and the pressure control module 102 are used for providing a corresponding process environment with a first temperature and a first pressure in an ultraviolet curing process of a sample, and providing a corresponding process environment with a second temperature and a second pressure in a hydrogen permeation process of the quartz window 101. The uv light source 104 is disposed above the quartz window 101 for providing a first uv light to a sample in the process chamber 10 for uv curing of a film deposited thereon. The reflecting means 105 surrounds the upper portion of the ultraviolet light source 104 for reflecting the second ultraviolet light dissipated from the ultraviolet light source 104 toward the sample to ultraviolet-cure the thin film deposited thereon. The first end of the hydrogen pipe 20 is connected to the hydrogen source 30 and the second end thereof is connected to the process chamber 10 for supplying hydrogen gas into the process chamber 10 during a hydrogen permeation process to the quartz window 101.
Further, in some embodiments, the temperature control module described above includes a heating plate 1031 and a heating jacket 1032. The heating plate 1031 is disposed inside the process chamber 10 for carrying and heating the sample to perform an ultraviolet curing process thereon. The heating jacket 1032 is disposed in front of the process chamber 10 and surrounds the hydrogen pipe 20 for preheating the hydrogen gas introduced into the process chamber 10 to perform a hydrogen permeation process to the quartz window 101.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the above-described hydrogen gas pipe 20 may include therein a manual valve 201 and a filter 202. The manual valve 201 is used to close the hydrogen pipe 20 during the uv curing process and to open the hydrogen pipe 20 during the hydrogen permeation process. The filter 202 is used to filter the hydrogen gas introduced into the process chamber 10 to prevent impurities from contaminating the process chamber 10.
Further, in some embodiments, the hydrogen pipe 20 may preferably further include a diaphragm valve 203, a pressure gauge 204, a pressure regulator 205, and a mass flow controller 206 for adjusting the pressure and flow of the hydrogen gas introduced into the process chamber 10 to meet the requirements of the hydrogen permeation process.
Furthermore, in some embodiments, the curing station may also include a counter, timer, and/or sensor. The counter is used for counting the times of implementing the ultraviolet curing process, and triggering the hydrogen permeation process when the times reach a preset time threshold (for example, 5-100 times). The timer is used for counting the current time of implementing the last hydrogen permeation process, and triggering the hydrogen permeation process when the current time reaches a preset time threshold (for example, 300-500 hours). The sensor is used for monitoring the transmittance of the quartz window 101, and triggering the hydrogen permeation process when the transmittance of the quartz window 101 is lower than a preset transmittance threshold (for example, 70% -80%).
The working principle of the uv curing apparatus will be described below with reference to some embodiments of the wafer position detection method. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that these examples of the control method of the uv curing station are merely some non-limiting embodiments provided by the present invention, and are intended to clearly illustrate the main concept of the present invention and to provide some embodiments for public implementation, not to limit the overall functions or the overall operation of the uv curing station. Similarly, the control method of the uv curing apparatus is just some non-limiting embodiments provided by the present invention, and the execution main body or the execution sequence of each step in the control method of the uv curing apparatus is not limited.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3 in combination, fig. 3 illustrates a control method of an uv curing apparatus according to some embodiments of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1-3, during operation of the uv curing apparatus, the uv curing apparatus may first provide a first temperature and a first pressure process environment to a sample in the process chamber 10 via its temperature control module (e.g., the heating plate 1031) and the pressure control module 102, and provide uv light to the sample via the uv light source 104 and the reflection device 105 to perform a uv curing process on a thin film deposited on the sample.
Meanwhile, in some embodiments, the uv curing machine may preferably monitor the state of the quartz window 101 in real time by using a counter, a timer and/or a sensor configured therein, and determine the timing of triggering the hydrogen permeation process according to a trigger signal provided by the same.
For example, the uv curing station may count the number of times of performing the uv curing process by using a counter, and trigger the hydrogen permeation process when the number of times reaches a preset number of times threshold (for example, 5-100 times).
For another example, the uv light curing station may count the last hydrogen permeation process to the current time period by a timer, and trigger the hydrogen permeation process when the last hydrogen permeation process reaches a preset time period threshold (e.g., 300-500 hours).
For another example, the uv curing station may monitor the transmittance of the quartz window 101 via a sensor, and trigger the hydrogen permeation process when the transmittance of the quartz window 101 is lower than a preset transmittance threshold (e.g., 70% -80%).
Then, in response to the trigger signal provided by the counter, the timer, the sensor, and/or the trigger instruction manually provided by the user, the uv curing apparatus may exit the sample in the process chamber and switch the process mode, provide the process environment with the second temperature and the second pressure to the quartz window 101 in the process chamber 10 via the temperature control module (e.g. the heating plate 1031) and the pressure control module 102, and provide the hydrogen with the corresponding temperature to the process chamber 10 via the temperature control module (e.g. the heating sleeve 1032) and the hydrogen pipeline 20, so as to perform the disassembly-free in-situ hydrogen permeation process on the quartz window 101.
Specifically, in the first stage of the hydrogen permeation process, the uv curing apparatus can control the hydrogen pipe 20 to supply hydrogen to the process chamber 10 at a predetermined first flow rate (e.g. 400-6000 sccm), control the pressure control device 102 to control the pressure in the process chamber 10 at a second pressure (e.g. 5 atm), and control the temperature control device to control the temperature in the process chamber 10 at a second temperature (e.g. 200-500 ℃).
Then, in response to the duration of the first stage reaching a preset first duration (for example, 80-120 hours), the ultraviolet curing machine can determine that the hydrogen permeation process of the first stage is completed, and start the second stage of the hydrogen permeation process. Then, in the second stage of the hydrogen permeation process, the uv curing apparatus can control the hydrogen pipe 20 to reduce the flow rate of the hydrogen introduced into the process chamber 10 to a predetermined second flow rate (e.g. 300-2000 sccm), and control the pressure control device 102 to reduce the pressure in the process chamber 10 to a predetermined third pressure (e.g. 3 atm).
And then, in response to the duration of the second stage reaching a preset second duration (for example, 400-800 hours), the ultraviolet curing machine can determine that the hydrogen permeation process for the quartz window 101 is completed.
In this way, compared with the prior art that the quartz window 101 needs to be disassembled first and then subjected to hydrogen permeation treatment by using professional equipment, the invention can utilize the hydrogen pipeline 20 additionally arranged on the ultraviolet curing machine to introduce hydrogen into the process chamber 10, and utilize the original pressure control module 102 and temperature control module of the ultraviolet curing machine to precisely control the pressure and temperature of the gas in the chamber so as to directly perform the disassembly-free in-situ hydrogen permeation treatment on the quartz window 101, thereby improving the hydrogen molecular content in the glass of the quartz window 101 to 3X 10 18molecules/cm3 and recovering the transmittance of the quartz window 101 with reduced transmittance at the wavelength of 200-300 nm (for example: 215 nm) to more than 86%.
In summary, the invention provides an ultraviolet curing machine, a control method of the ultraviolet curing machine, and a computer readable storage medium, which can utilize the original temperature control module and pressure control module of the ultraviolet curing machine to perform dismounting-free hydrogen permeation treatment on a quartz window 101, thereby prolonging the service life of the quartz window, improving the working efficiency of the machine, and improving the working quality of the machine.
