Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention is directed to a method for detecting a temperature distribution of a semiconductor process chamber, and more particularly to a method for detecting a temperature distribution of a wafer placed in a reaction chamber. 】 Reaction chamber is the basic equipment in the semiconductor process, which is used for oxidation, deposition, heat treatment and degassing parameters. And this program towel, temperature is the most important process parameter, which determines the yield of the program. However, it is not easy to control the temperature of the reaction chamber because the reaction is to supply the heat source by a heater such as a hot filament, and the process towel needs to be heated and regulated for heating (four), but the temperature of the heater itself. It is not possible to react to the actual temperature in the reaction chamber, although it is possible to help monitor the temperature by simply installing her clutches in the reaction chamber (7). The temperature on the wall is increased or decreased. A control that reaches a value t tends to be heated away from the proper operating point. In addition, the heat transfer received by the wafer is also closely related to the characteristics of the __ station, so it is often necessary to rely on empirical touches in the process. Therefore, how to know the heat transfer status received under the characteristics of each machine becomes the direction of the process and equipment I program. Therefore, the present invention proposes a method of detecting the temperature distribution of the wafer in the reaction chamber to establish the heat transfer characteristics of the wafer in each region of each of the stages. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting the temperature distribution of the crystal in the reaction chamber. (5) The heat transfer amount per unit area when the reaction chamber is in the reaction chamber. The other purpose of the soil is to provide a measure of the temperature distribution of the wafer in the reaction chamber to avoid process failures due to temperature control failure and unnecessary cost waste. The secret purpose is to provide a simple and accurate way to know the area of each wafer on the crystal® S; this two; the heat transfer amount received to detect the indoor wafer temperature distribution. s /, - Method for seed temperature distribution in a reaction chamber, - Embodiment 5 200843007 includes the following steps, first providing - wafer; forming on the wafer - resistance value will change with temperature = control The layer is placed in the reaction chamber of -_ for heat treatment; and the measurement & resistance of the layer is controlled to obtain a thermal state distribution map of each region of the wafer when the temperature is raised in the reaction chamber. In order to make the reviewer's purpose, technical content, features and efficacies of the present invention more in-depth understanding and understanding, please refer to the preferred embodiment and the following description: [Embodiment] The invention relates to a method for preparing a temperature distribution of a wafer in a reaction chamber, which can accurately know the rumbling condition received by each region of the wafer located in the reaction chamber during heat treatment. - First, select the temperature change in the county to go to repair and change. In the embodiment of the present invention, the stack layer of the Ming (ΑΙ) layer and the titanium (five) layer is selected as the layer, because the resistance value is 3UQ-Cm, the resistance value of titanium is 47υΩ, and the intermediate phase of the titanium (five) is The resistance value of ^ is 52 υ Ω-cm. At high temperatures,! Lu and titanium will react with temperature to form a titanium-titanium intermediate phase. The reaction formula is as follows: A! + Ti -► AlsTi and the reaction ratio of the titanium intermediate phase (AUj) depends on the following equation 弋· k2=k〇 2eXP (_Q/RT), where k is the reaction ratio (reaction ra(8)·, Q is the reactive energy, and τ is the temperature. From the above reaction formula, it can be found that the temperature plays a very important role in reducing the formation of the mesophase, so The heat transfer amount is obtained by applying the characteristic to the _reaction simple wafer.
