Abstract

This invention discloses a method of detecting the temperature distribution of a wafer in a reaction chamber; a monitor layer whose temperature changes cause the change of electrical resistance is formed on the wafer. The monitor layer is used to monitor the thermal distribution of different areas on a wafer when the wafer is heated in the reaction chamber. This monitoring layer can be an aluminum and titanium stacking which forms an aluminum titanium intermediate phase when heat energy is absorbed, resulting in an apparent increase in electrical resistance.

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.
