Description
まず、本発明の一実施形態に係るプラズマ処理システムの全体構成の一例について、図1を参照しながら説明する。図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係るプラズマ処理システムの全体構成の一例を示す。プラズマ処理システムは、基板処理システムの一例であり、処理ユニットPUと、搬送ユニットTUとを有するクラスタツールである。
制御部10は、CPU(Central Processing Unit)11、メモリ12、通信I/F(インターフェース)13及びディスプレイ14を有する。CPU11は、メモリ12に記憶されたレシピ15及びパラメータテーブル16に基づき、ウェハWの処理及び搬送を制御する。ウェハWの処理には、ウェハWの種別の自動判別処理及びウェハWのエッチング処理又は成膜処理等のプラズマ処理、後述する異常検出のためのマッピングが含まれる。
本実施形態に係るプロセスモジュールPMは、特に限定されないが、ウェハWに原子層エッチング(ALE:Atomic Layer Etching)処理、反応性イオンエッチング(RIE:Reactive Ion Etching)処理、アッシング処理等のプラズマ処理を施すことができる。
次に、本実施形態に係るウェハ処理の一例について、図5を参照して説明する。図5は、本実施形態に係るウェハ処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。本処理が開始されると、CPU11は、FOUPをロードポートLPに載置させる(ステップS10)。次に、CPU11は、FOUPの識別情報を検出し、検出結果に基づきFOUPに収納されたウェハWの種別を自動判別する(ステップS12)。
例えば、図2に示すレシピAのステップ1の温度T1が、図3のダミーウェハ用のパラメータテーブル16bに設定された温度の上限値(Max)Tfを超えている場合、CPU11は、ウェハ温度が上限値Tfを超えないように処理を制御する。また、CPU11は、ダミーウェハの搬送速度が上限値Vfを超えないように制御する。
[ウェハ処理]
最後に、変形例に係るウェハ処理の一例について、図7を参照して説明する。図7は、変形例に係るウェハ処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。なお、図5に示すフローチャートと同一処理を行うステップには同一ステップ番号を付すことにより、説明を省略する。
