Description

Optical fiber temperature measurement system
Technical Field
The utility model particularly relates to an optical fiber temperature measurement system.
Background
An electrostatic Chuck (E-Chuck) is a core component of high-end equipment such as PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) equipment, etchers, ion implanters, and the like. The electrostatic chuck is an ultra-clean wafer carrier suitable for vacuum and plasma tool environments, and utilizes the electrostatic adsorption principle to carry out flat and uniform clamping of an ultra-thin wafer. Compared with a mechanical chuck, the electrostatic chuck reduces mechanical moving parts, reduces particle pollution and increases the effective area of a wafer; compared with a vacuum chuck, the electrostatic chuck can be used in a low pressure (vacuum) environment, and is suitable for occasions of controlling the temperature of a wafer by utilizing the electrostatic chuck.
Plasma etching is an important process for wafer processing, and as the characteristic size of wafer processing advances from micron-scale to nanometer-scale technology nodes, the control requirement of the plasma etching on wafer defects is more and more strict. The wafer temperature is an important factor affecting the etching rate and uniformity, the chemical reaction in etching is very sensitive to temperature, and a small temperature difference may cause a great etching deviation, so that a good etching effect requires a stable and uniform temperature distribution of the wafer. Accordingly, the electrostatic chuck apparatus further comprises a temperature detecting means for measuring the temperature of the electrostatic chuck.
In semiconductor processing technology, a temperature sensing device typically employs a thermocouple measurement element. The thermocouple measuring element can directly measure the temperature of the electrostatic chuck, and convert the temperature signal into a thermoelectromotive signal, and convert the thermoelectromotive signal into the temperature of the electrostatic chuck through an electric instrument (namely a secondary instrument). That is, the thermocouple uses a voltage signal during the temperature measurement. However, during the semiconductor processing, since rf energy is used, the rf energy generates electromagnetic signals, and thus, during the semiconductor processing, the electromagnetic signals may interfere with voltage signals generated during the temperature measurement of the thermocouple measurement element, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the thermocouple measurement element. In order to accurately measure the temperature of the electrostatic chuck, in the field of semiconductor processing, an optical fiber sensing system is adopted to measure the temperature of the electrostatic chuck, such as fluorescent optical fiber temperature sensing, wherein the fluorescent optical fiber temperature sensing is realized by detecting the fluorescence intensity or the fluorescence service life according to the one-to-one correspondence relationship between the fluorescent parameters emitted after the fluorescent substance is excited and the temperature.
However, existing fiber optic sensing systems employ a single elongated optical fiber as the temperature sensing fiber. In general, when the electrostatic chuck and the supporting structure are assembled, the electrostatic chuck passes through the measuring end of the temperature measuring optical fiber, and the temperature measuring optical fiber section close to the measuring end is installed in the electrostatic chuck, so that the electrostatic chuck and the supporting structure are assembled. When the electrostatic chuck device is disassembled, the electrostatic chuck also needs to pass through the measuring end of the temperature measuring optical fiber. Therefore, in the process of installing and detaching the electrostatic chuck device, the electrostatic chuck is very easy to touch the probe arranged at the measuring end of the temperature measuring optical fiber, and the measuring precision of the temperature sensor is reduced. In addition, because the temperature measuring optical fiber is very fragile, in the process of installing and dismantling the electrostatic chuck device, the temperature measuring optical fiber is easily damaged, and the hardware equipment cost is increased.
