Description of the invention (1) Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to a pollution measurement system and a pollution measurement method applicable to an ion implanter in a semiconductor device manufacturing process, in particular, it is unnecessary to use a separate test Using wafers, it is also possible to measure the grains and accurately grasp the actual pollution status in the process chamber, and can monitor the batch of the ion implanter pollution measurement system and pollution measurement in the process chamber due to the particles caused by the particles in the process. method. Problems to be solved Generally speaking, when ion implanters are used to implant ions on the surface of a wafer, fine particles (hereinafter referred to as particles) are generated, and the interior of the ion implantation process chamber is caused by such particles. The degree is a decisive and important factor for the quality of products. On the other hand, the surfscan check method using bare wafer to measure particles has been widely used in order to manage the actual contamination of the process chamber constituting the ion implantation device. Printed by the Beigong Consumer Cooperative of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) • Figure 6 'is a block diagram showing the particle measurement method according to the above surface scanning measurement method according to the steps. The specific explanation is as follows. First, the primary test of the number of grains adhering to the surface of the initial bare wafer is performed by the surface scanning device. (S 1) Then, the loading equipment is used to fix the bare wafer that has completed the measurement on the circular plate in the process chamber of the ion implanter. (S3) This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS > Α4 specification (2 丨 0X297mm) Printed by 316292 A7 of the Central Bureau of Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 316292 A7 __: _ ^ _ B7_ In this state, the device is operated for a certain period of time under the same process conditions as the ion implantation state (only the ion implantation state is not implemented). (S3) After the operation is completed, the bare wafer is unloaded outside the process chamber. S4) Then, use the surface scanning device to measure the number of particles adsorbed on the surface of the bare wafer unloaded as described above, and compare it with the number of particles attached to the surface of the initial bare wafer. Relative pollution in the process room. As a result of the test, if the number of particles in the process room is lower than the set target (number of particles) in pollution management, the process will be continued, and if the measured number of particles exceeds the set standard value, it will be given The process of suspending the process and performing the washing operation. However, the particle measurement method in the process chamber of the ion implanter is essentially only the process in the absence of the ion beam. The pollution degree inside the room is managed. Not only can it not accurately grasp the pollution degree of the particles generated in the ion implantation in the actual state of the ion beam, and according to the results of actual confirmation, it is compared with the state without the ion implantation. In the ion implantation state, the occurrence of particles will increase significantly, so the reliability of the previous particle measurement method still has problems. "And the measurement of the degree of pollution caused by the particles in the process room using the previous surface scanning measurement method It is carried out when the operation of the ion implantation device is stopped. Therefore, the work efficiency and output of the equipment are reduced, and the inspection and measurement of the degree of pollution caused by such particles has previously been performed periodically for a certain period (usually 24 hours) Implemented once, so in fact it is not, -4-This paper standard uses the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 丨 0 > < 297mm) I ο, ------ • 町- ----- C (please read the $ item on the back and then fill in this page)

Description of the invention (3) It can test the defects of the device caused by the sudden process room pollution that may occur between the inspection cycles. In addition, accidents that occur occasionally during the process, such as the sudden increase of particles caused by wafer cracking or damage, are caused by sudden process indoor pollution caused by process failure, or other (leakage of flying ions) and other accidents. The abnormal situation can not be monitored, so it will inevitably lead to process failure. In the past, there has never been a method that can sense the sudden contamination status of the process chamber as described above and respond to it, resulting in continuous process failure that continues until the inspection cycle of the device. If the degree of contamination can be visually detected by the manager during the inspection cycle, the contamination of the process chamber and wafers has been expanded to an extent. As mentioned above, the scale of economic loss, even if 13 wafers are loaded simultaneously in a process and the process is assumed, and it is assumed that this process takes about one hour, it will also cause the direct loss of wafer defects per unit time. Sexual loss. Printed by the Lithuanian Ministry of Industry, Central Bureau of Industry and Consumer Cooperatives (please read the notes on the back and then fill out this page). In addition, if the diffusion of ion implantation equipment due to pollution diffusion in the process chamber is taken into consideration As a result of the time required to resume operation (equipment downtime) and the loss of force, the amount of loss is bound to increase geometrically. In other words, as far as the conventional particle measurement method is concerned, each particle test must consume bare wafers, and the ongoing process must be paused between the measurement times, which incurs a loss of equipment utilization efficiency and economic loss. In terms of results It is the result of a decline in product productivity. '-5-This paper iron scale is suitable for two Chinese standards (CNS) Α4 specifications (2 丨 0X297 mm) Α7 _, _Β7 _ 5.

Description of the invention (9) (please read the $ item on the back and then fill in this page) After analyzing the above process steps After detecting the amount of particles in the process, it is known that between the step (S3) of erecting the circular plate for the purpose of ion implantation (S3) and the step of returning the disc to the original position after the ion implantation (S5) During the process, more particles were detected in the process chamber (40). Therefore, if you want to obtain the correct measurement results of the particles in the process chamber (40), of course, it is needless to say that in the step of implanting ions (S 4), even the circular plate (21) is erected vertically for implanting ions The step (S2) and the step (S5) of moving the circular plate (21) back to the original position after the ion implantation is completed should also be implemented. In order to effectively manage the particles, the present invention is to start the sensing operation of the particles between the steps S2 and S3 before the circular plate (21) moves to the ion implantable state in the above process steps, and end the implantation After the ionization, the sensing operation ends between steps S5 and S6 after the circular plate (21) returns to the original position. The effect of the invention is interesting. The employees of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Technology are surprised that the cooperative has printed it. Therefore, the data detected by the operation of the above-mentioned sensing device (f〇) at the same time as the ion implantation process is output by the output device (60) Use monitor or pen-type oscilloscope output for supervisor to monitor. As described above, using the data output by the output device (60) and FIG. 4B, the size and number of particles in the process chamber can be grasped for each batch. The number of particles classified according to the size obtained from this result can be controlled within the allowable range of the process room.

When the description of the invention (i 0), the alarm device can also be used to issue an alarm for the manager to grasp whether the equipment is abnormal. Because the action of measuring the indoor pollution state caused by particles is performed simultaneously with the process of the ion implanter, the particles in the process of the process in the process can be accurately measured, and it can also respond to sudden accidents immediately. If the present invention is applied, it has the following advantages: One is that since bare wafers are no longer required for testing the particles in the process chamber, the waste of wafers consumed for each particle measurement can be eliminated, and costs can be saved. The second is that the particle pollution can be measured without interrupting the operation of the equipment, so the operation efficiency of the ion implanter and the reliability of particle measurement can be improved. The third is that the particle measurement can be carried out without interrupting the ion implantation planting equipment and continuing to operate, and the particle state can be tested separately according to the process, so the product quality can be improved. In summary, the present invention has the advantages of improving the operation efficiency of equipment, as well as improving the output and product quality, because it can measure pollution simultaneously with the ion layout process. # BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the overall structure of an ion implanter provided with a pollution measurement system according to the present invention.
