Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a leak detection method, and more particularly to a method for leak detection of a process chamber, which is capable of using an optical emission spectrometer (OfiS) A method or smart HMS (smart HMS) to detect leaks in a dedicated process chamber accurately and quickly. [Prior Art] A semiconductor process using a plasma can be roughly classified into a dry etching process, a chemical vapor deposition process, and a sputtering process. A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus using a plasma Divided into: Capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) type which generates plasma by applying radio frequency (RF) power between parallel plates facing each other according to the structure of the electrode for generating plasma. The device generates an inductively coupled Plasma (ICP) type power and a magnetic field by applying RF power to a coil external to the reaction tube to generate a magnetic strengthening reaction of the electric group = (magneucally enhanced reactive Ion etching, a type of device, and an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) type shock generated by lightly combining microwaves and magnetic fields to generate electropolymerization. ', in the use of dry wire business, anti-room two == _ closed air = force sheep to the upper and lower electrodes, the upper electrode and the lower electrode are installed in response to the application of 201009970 in the process chamber within a predetermined distance from each other, thereby An electric field is formed. The reaction gas is activated by an electric field to become a plasma. The ions in the plasma state react with the film on the wafer on the lower electrode, so that the film on the wafer is etched into a desired shape. In this case, a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus using plasma requires real-time monitoring and control of the plasma process so that the plasma process can be performed in a desired manner. That is, a large amount of anti-rear is generated in the plasma etching process and the plasma CVD process, and the thief reacts with the reaction gas or the phQtc aresist to generate a polymer (p〇lymer). Since the polymer adheres to the surface of the glass wall or the inner wall of the process reaction f may change the process parameters and produce particles. Therefore, in the semiconductor manufacturing process, these conditions become the defective factor of the glass, resulting in a decrease in production. Therefore, in order to reduce these disadvantages, the preventive transfer of the process reaction t (pfeventive maintenanee, PM) is repeated at predetermined times. At this time, after depositing a predetermined amount of the film in the process chamber, a polymer similar to that in the dry cleaning process of the side is performed. In the dry cleaning process, the end point detector is used to measure the residual end point (etcMng - p〇int), so that the process chamber thief (4) parts are damaged (Ning catch) state, reactive gas Consumption and productivity can be _#, however, 'When the plasma is analyzed by 0ES before and after pM in the process chamber, the accuracy of _ decreases, and it is difficult to detect the etching end of the cleaning process at 201009970. Occurs: PM is carried out from the reaction chamber, and the state of the component is even if the gamma is not emitted. ... In the case of supplements, there may be a measure of the deposit and loss, and the dry cleaning system should be larger than this distribution. Because: ί When OES does not detect a small leak ό H When the H-residue of the chamber stops running (mn d〇wn), the process response changes when the remaining reading is compared to the continuous operation. The distribution of the electro-polymerization of the glass treated by the love and the brother is compared to the specification range of the general leak detection. Month, the diameter of the pipe venting [invention] ❹ face 3 = in a process of the process of the fine measurement method, the test, 23 component state before and after the TM change significantly, by the PM after a predetermined period or time The impact of the leak _ the frequency of the map "(4) set the right leak in the production of no error, the mouth is placed in the eyes of the electricity and stable; and can be a leak., accurately and quickly detect In the process of measuring whether the reaction chamber is in the process of providing a process chamber, the Wei process is used to make the preventive maintenance of the process chamber during the predetermined period of time. 7 201009970 In the case of a significant change in the state of the device, a leak error is detected even if no leak occurs. This leak detection method includes the first step of setting alarm specifications, fault specifications and preventive maintenance specifications. , fault specifications and preventive maintenance specifications, during the semiconductor manufacturing process before preventive maintenance, the base of the miscellaneous settings is expanded to the predetermined range, the second step 'based on the first step The range of alarm specifications, fault specifications, and preventive maintenance specifications set to determine whether a leak occurs. The third step is to set the alarm specification based on the characteristic value of the automatic reset during the semiconductor process after preventive maintenance. And the fault specification is reset to a predetermined range; and the fourth step is to determine whether a leak occurs based on the range of the alarm specification and the fault specification set by the third step. The characteristic value of the setting in the first step is obtained by the following method. In the initial stage of the semiconductor process, the electric concentrating emission of several sampled glasses is searched for an effective band that affects the leakage, and the dream is calculated from the intensity in the integrated band to calculate the area or calculate the peak intensity.

The fault specification reset in the third step is set within the range of ±12-15% based on the reset eigenvalue. The second and fourth steps include: when the semiconductor process is in progress, when the data is not input within the predetermined time, the operation is stopped, and when the data is input while the operation is stopped, the alarm specification is ignored, and Only when the change deviates from the scope of the fault specification, it is judged that a leak has occurred and an alarm is generated. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <RTIgt; [Embodiment] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a schematic view showing a leak detection pattern in a process chamber according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 1', when the preventive maintenance (PM) is repeatedly performed for a predetermined time so that the defect factor of the process chamber during the semiconductor process is reduced, the state of the component changes significantly. In this case, a leak may be detected even if no leak has occurred. The leak detection method of the process chamber according to the embodiment of the present invention can avoid the 201009970 detection error, and the method includes the first to fourth steps. The first step consists of a number of sampled glass plasma light-emitting wipers introduced during the initial phase of system operation, searching for a pair of influential effective wavelength bands 'and calculating the area by the intensity in the integrated band or Ten ^ * peak intensity, and by this operation and set feature values (such as vahe) and in the semiconductor process before the PM, set the gamification spec), fault specification (fauit spec) &amp; pM specification process , φ These 扩大 are expanded to a predetermined range based on the set feature values. When only one feature value is taken, a large number of errors may occur in determining the leak, and accuracy and reliability are lowered. Therefore, a number of sampled glass are introduced and a number of effective bands that have an effect on the leak are searched from the sample glass. Then, several eigenvalues are extracted by calculating the area by calculating the intensity in the integrated band or calculating the peak intensity. Of the several feature values, 'any trait value is arbitrarily set. The setting criteria can be changed according to the process chamber. At this time, the alarm specification can be set to ±5_7% of the range _' based on the set characteristic value, and the size specification can be set within the range of ±12-15% based on the set feature i. The ΡΜ specification is applied to the start and end points of the crucible and applies a predetermined period (for example, 'the point in time when the 300th glass is introduced') from the operation of the semiconductor manufacturing system of the new process until the plasma is stable or the time period (for example, Two days). The ΡΜ specification can be set within ±15-20% based on the set eigenvalues. That is, when it is assumed that the state of the component changes during the enthalpy, the change in the plasma is close to ±15%, and if the leakage causes a variation of ±5%, the total change of 201009970 is ±20%. Therefore, when the pM specification is set in the range of ±5% under normal conditions, the specification range of ±5% of the setting is included in the ±2〇% of the total change. Therefore, a detection error occurred when #processing the reaction chamber, and even if no leak occurred, a leak was detected due to the super &amp; Therefore, considering the change in the state of the component after the PM is performed, the specification and the fault specification of the PM are not reported when the PM is performed in winter, and the pM specification range is expanded to ±15-20% based on the eigenvalue. The second step includes determining whether or not a line leak occurs based on the range of the alarm specification, the fault specification, and the PM specification set in the first step. That is, the plasma of the process chamber is first subjected to a pre-emission analysis before the PM is performed. The analysis of the plasma light emission of the analysis only deviates from the range of the alarm specification (5_7% of the soil) and the range of the fault specification (12-15% of the soil) based on the set characteristic value, and the leak detector is out of specification. Determine the leak in the process chamber. Progressive' When the analysis of the plasma light emission changes is based on the set characteristic value = not deviating from the alarm specification range (±5-7°/❶) and the fault specification range (±12-15%), the leak detection The detector judges that the process reaction is leaking indoors. At this time, in the second step, when no data is input for a predetermined time under the progress of the semiconductor process, the bubble detector considers that its operation is stopped. When data is input while the operation is stopped, the leak detector ignores the alarm specification of ±5-7% and generates an alarm only when the variation deviates from the range of the specification (±12-15%). 11 201009970 铪 疋 ' When the operation stops, the temperature and residual gas in the process chamber change compared with the continuous operation, and the plasma distribution of the glass treated immediately after the stop is compared with The general situation is slightly increased by f. Therefore, in consideration of the occurrence of a remote side error caused by the material distribution, the state of the alarm specification of ±±5_7% is 'only when the deviation deviates from the fault gauge, and the cost is around J±12_15%.' leak. Then, 'Semiconductor and Regulatory Controls produced an alarm after the leak was made. f The second step includes the process of resetting the alarm specification and the series specification based on the feature of the automatic reset during the semiconductor process after the PM is performed, that is, after the PM is performed, the semiconductor process is stabilized after the electropolymerization is stabilized. In the case of the system operation, the light of the electric music of several sampling glasses is automatically analyzed, and the nucleus is averaged and the characteristic value is set. Step-by-step expands the alarm specification and the base of the set value to the predetermined range. At this time, the alarm specification can be set to ±5-7% of the range _ on the basis of the reset characteristic value and the failure specification can be set within the range of ±12-15% based on the reset characteristic value. The fourth step includes a process of judging whether or not a leak has occurred based on the range of the alarm specification and the fault specification set in the third step. That is, when the process is performed in the state where the plasma is stable after the PM is performed, the light emission analysis is performed on the electric power of the process chamber. When the change in the analyzed electro-optical emission is deviated from the range of the alarm gauge 12 201009970 (±5·7%) and the range of the fault specification (12_15% of the soil) based on the reset characteristic value, due to exceeding the specification, The leak detector determines that a leak has occurred in the process chamber. Further, when the change of the plasma light emission of the analysis does not deviate from the alarm specification range (soil 5_7%) and the fault specification range (±12-15%) based on the reset characteristic value, the leak detector judges the process response. There is no leakage in the room. At this time, in the fourth step, when the semiconductor process is in progress in the semiconductor process _ in progress, the data is not input for a predetermined time, and the measurement is considered to be stopped. When inputting data while the operation is stopped, the leak detector ignores the alarm specification of ±5_7% and generates an alarm only when the variation deviates from the range of the fault specification (±12-15%). Strictly, when the operation stops, the temperature of the process chamber and the residual gas change compared to the continuous operation, and the distribution of the glass of the glass processed immediately after the stop of the operation is slightly increased compared with the general case. . Therefore, considering the occurrence of the $face measurement error caused by the distribution, in the state of the alarm specification of ±5_7%, the leakage detector only judges when the variation deviates from the range of the fault specification (±12-15%). No leakage occurred. Next, the system control unit of the semi-V body manufacturing system generates an alarm after the leak detector determines that a leak has occurred.
