Description of the Invention: [Technical Field 1 of the Invention] Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the source quality of a chemical vapor deposition process. 5 Measurement methods, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method, This method is for measuring the source quality remaining in the evaporation portion of the source material by supplying a source gas from which the source material stored in the evaporation portion of the source material is supplied to the deposition chamber and performing a thin film deposition chemical vapor deposition process. © [Prior Art] 10 Background of the Invention A film deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is deposited on an insulating layer and a movable layer of a semiconductor element, a transparent electrode of a liquid crystal display element, and an illuminating layer and protection of an electroluminescent display element. It is technically very important in various applications such as layers. In general, the physical properties of a film deposited by CVD are very sensitive to CVD process conditions such as deposition pressure, deposition temperature, deposition time, etc., for example, depending on the deposition pressure ©, the deposited film composition, Density, adhesion, deposition rate, etc. will vary. At CVD, the deposition pressure is directly affected by the source gas flow (i.e., source gas pressure) supplied from the source gas supply unit 20, and the source gas supply unit supplies the thin film material raw material to be deposited. Namely, in order to appropriately control the deposition pressure of the CVD, it is preferable to properly adjust the source gas pressure of the source gas supply means, and the pressure adjustment of the source gas is particularly important when the deposition rate must be adjusted to be constant by high precision. 3 200930828 Fig. 1 shows a structural diagram of a conventional source gas supply device 10. The conventional source gas supply device 10 is composed of a source substance evaporation unit 11 that houses the source material 12, a heater 13, a plant gas supply unit 14, and a plurality of valves ¥1 to $5. Generally, since the source material 12 is at room temperature The lower portion exists in a solid state. Therefore, in order to gasify the source of the source material, the source material must be heated to a normal temperature or higher. At this time, the heater 13 performs the task of heating the source material. Usually, since the source gas has a small mobility due to a large specific relationship, the carrier gas is smoothly moved to the deposition chamber by using the carrier gas, and most of the valves are switched according to the condition, and the flow rates of the source gas and the carrier gas are adjusted, for example,

Further, depending on the switch of the valve VI, the carrier gas may pass through the source evaporation portion 11 and may not pass. On the other hand, in the chemical vapor deposition process, if the source quality of the source substance evaporation portion 11 is not correctly discriminated, it cannot be judged that the source material should be supplied step by step in order to perform the next deposition process. Deposition can be carried out using the remaining source material. In the case where the deposition process is performed in a state where the source material 12 is not sufficiently left in the state of the source substance evaporation portion to the extent that the next deposition process is performed, the deposition process cannot be performed normally. However, in the conventional source gas supply device 1G, the amount of the source material 12 remaining in the source substance evaporation portion 11 cannot be accurately discriminated in the thin film deposition program 20, of course, although the source substance evaporation portion u is opened before the new deposition process. The method of judging the amount of the source material 12 remaining by the naked eye is determined. However, since the active material heat generating portion 11 is opened and used, it is impossible to use it. Therefore, if the active material 12 remains in the open source evaporation portion (10), Will waste the high price of the source 200930828 • · Quality 12 .

The supply amount or supply time of the carrier gas of 110. According to the measurement results of such a flow meter such as 〇, the amount of the source material 120 remaining in the source material + portion 110 can be measured or predicted after the deposition process. ... For example, in the qualitative aspect, if the amount of the source material 120 remaining in the evaporation portion of the source material is large, the gas pressure for evaporating the source material within 1 110 can be relatively reduced from the first pressure to the first pressure. 2 The supply or supply time of the two bodies required for the pressure, and vice versa, if it remains in the source material; when the amount of the source material 120 in the evaporation sound is small, it can be relatively increased to make the source material + Thai The supply pressure or supply time of the plant gas necessary for the gas pressure in the portion 110 to reach the second pressure from the first pressure. At the same time, appropriate calculation is performed based on the volume of the source substance evaporation unit 11〇, the volume of the source substance 120 accommodated in the source substance evaporation unit 110, and the supply amount or supply time of the carrier gas until the predetermined pressure is reached, and the appropriate calculation is performed. Thus, the amount of the source material 120 remaining in the source substance evaporation portion 11A can be quantified. Fig. 3 is a graph showing an example of a method for measuring the mass of the source material according to an embodiment of the present invention. 20 200930828 Fig. 3 is a diagram of the source gas supply device 100 of Fig. 2, in order to measure the amount of the source material 120 received in the source substance evaporation unit 110, open the valve VI, close the valve V2, and the valve V4, and then carry it. The gas is supplied into the source substance evaporation unit 11A, and the gas pressure of the source 5 substance evaporation unit 110 is measured from the first pressure to the second pressure as the source material filling amount in the source substance evaporation unit 110 changes. Change of time. At this time, the source material 120 is Ni (CP) 2 powder for Ni deposition, the carrier gas (measurement gas) is Ar, and the Ar flow rate supplied to the source substance evaporation unit 110 is controlled to be 100 sccm. 1) The pressure system is maintained at 〇10 H> Torr, and the second pressure is changed to 500 Torr (see Condition A in Table 3), 600 Torr (see Condition B in Fig. 3), and 700 〇 (see 3rd) Figure C). The first pressure and the second pressure are measured by the pressure gauge 200. The filling amount of the Ni(CP) 2 powder in the source substance evaporation unit 110 is changed to 〇g, l〇g, 30g '50g, 100g, 150g, 200g. As shown in the figure, 'the more the amount of the source material 120 accommodated in the source substance evaporation unit 110', the gas pressure of the source substance evaporation unit 110 reaches the second pressure (5 Torr, from the first pressure (10T rrrr), The supply time of Ar consumed by 600 Torr and 700 Torr is reduced. In particular, as shown in Fig. 3, it can be seen that the supply time changes linearly with the change in the amount of filling. Therefore, if the above-mentioned 20 The invention - the method of the embodiment, can accurately and effectively measure the mass of the source remaining in the evaporation portion of the source material during the chemical vapor deposition process. On the other hand, all the operations of the pressure gauge 200, the flow meter 300, and the valves V1 to V5 can be controlled by a control unit (not shown), and the residual portion of the source material evaporation portion can be measured by the control portion. Source material in 110 12 0 10 200930828 If the source gas supply method is used, the following advantages can be obtained, and when the film deposition by chemical vapor deposition is used, the source material 12 of the source substance evaporation portion 110 can be correctly measured. Since the amount of the material is reduced, it is possible to prevent the source material 120 from being able to accurately grasp the amount of the source material 120 of the residual portion 110. Therefore, the source substance evaporation portion 11 is opened, and the source material 120 is wasted. At the same time, the following conditions can be prevented, #: because at ^
