Description of the Invention (() The present invention relates to a method for controlling the temperature of a furnace tube, and in particular to a method of feeding a furnace tube into a wafer And the method of controlling the temperature around the wafer when the wafer is sent out of the furnace tube. Generally speaking, the thin film deposition of wafers is mostly performed by the high temperature furnace tube. From the beginning of the feeding of the furnace tube to the end of the deposition, it is sent out of the furnace tube. The wafer experiences many different temperatures. These temperature differences will change the mechanical stress experienced by each layer of film in the wafer. In order to prevent these films from permanent mechanical damage due to accumulated excessive stress, such as film peeling or cracking 'The control of the temperature around the wafer is very important to prevent the yield of the process from being affected. Most furnace tubes now have two temperature control devices, such as temperature distribution thermocouples and needle thermocouples. Please 篸According to Fig. 1, it is shown as a furnace tube low pressure chemical vapor deposition (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition; hereinafter referred to as LPCVD) system Schematic diagram of the furnace tube, in which the 'temperature distribution thermocouple 103' is located inside the furnace tube 100, which is used to measure and control the temperature of the five independent regions 120, 121, 130, 131, 140 in the tube; It is located outside the furnace tube 100, and can measure and control the wall temperature of the furnace tube 100. Figure 2 shows the temperature and time distribution of the temperature in each area of the tube measured by the temperature distribution thermocouple before the furnace tube reacts. The horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is temperature. The unit is C. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 at the same time, where the first time refers to the time when the furnace door 110 is opened. This first time is not shown. The horizontal axis on the second graph.

Description of the invention (>) The time passed by the midway area 130, and the fourth time is the time when the wafer reaches the deposition area 140. Please continue to refer to the second figure. Between the second time t2 when the wafer is started to be fed and the third time t3 when the wafer passes through the halfway area, the temperature in each area of the furnace tube is 120a, 121a, 130a, 131a, 140a. The loss, taking the curve l2la as an example, it represents the temperature of 1U in the region, which has dropped from about 68 ° C to about 550 ° C, and the decline is above 100 ° C. This temperature loss must be compensated by the return temperature between the third time t3 and the fourth time t4 when the wafer reaches the deposition area. In other words, the wafer must go through a considerable degree of temperature difference from the beginning to the furnace tube to the deposition area 140. These temperature differences will change the mechanical stress experienced by each layer of the thin film in the wafer ', which will cause film peeling or cracking to affect the yield. Furthermore, please continue to refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, it can be seen that the temperatures of the regions 120, 121, 130, 131, and 140 in the furnace tube 100 are different. Generally speaking, the temperature of the area near the furnace door 110 is lower than that of the deposition area 14 inside the furnace tube 100. Therefore, during the wafer transfer process, the wafer will be transferred from the low temperature environment near the furnace door 110 to the deposition area. Area 140 high temperature environment. At this time, the adjustment of the conveying speed is very important, because too fast a conveying speed will cause the wafer to experience excessive temperature changes, which will also cause damage to the wafer and affect the yield of the process. Fig. 3 shows a flow chart of a furnace tube operation method of a conventional furnace tube type LPCVD system for analyzing how the conventional operation method causes the above-mentioned lack of temperature difference. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 at the same time.

Description of the invention (^) The total nitrogen flow rate is about 24 l / min. When the furnace door is opened n 〇, before preparing to send the wafer, the gas required for the reaction, such as nitrogen, must be passed through the inlet tube 101. The flow rate of this nitrogen is very important, because the temperature inside the furnace tube 100 will be greatly lost. The main reason is that after the furnace door 110 is opened, the warm temperature gas flows out of the tube from the furnace door 110, and the too large nitrogen flow will cause this gas loss to be more severe, resulting in a larger temperature loss. Perform step 31. At the first time when the furnace door 110 is opened, perform the first temperature control adjustment, and use the needle-shaped thermocouple 105 to control the furnace tube temperature. Next, perform step 320 ′ at the second time when the wafer feeding is started. ίThe second temperature control adjustment, and adjust the conveying speed, about 100 mm / min. The importance of the conveying speed has been mentioned before, so I won't go into details here, and the second temperature control adjustment refers to the continuous use of the needle thermocouple 105 to control the furnace tube temperature. It should be mentioned that the needle thermoelectric Even 105 can only control the wall temperature of the furnace tube 100. However, the tube temperature and the tube wall temperature of the furnace tube 100 are not the same, because the reaction wall of the furnace tube 100 tends to deposit reactive impurities. There will be differences in the temperature. If the temperature is controlled by using the needle-shaped thermocouple 105 only as it is known, the true temperature in the tube of the furnace tube 100 cannot be accurately determined, especially when there is a large loss of temperature in the tube. This difference is particularly obvious. Next, step 330 is performed to perform a third temperature control adjustment at a third time when the wafer passes through the mid-way area 130, and the temperature distribution thermocouple 103 is used to control the temperature in the tube. Because the conventional method fails to control the temperature in the foregoing steps, The loss is well controlled, so when implementing this step 330, the temperature must be compensated by a large amount of heating to increase it to the high temperature required for the reaction. 5 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification 210 X 297 mm) I 7 ^ · pack. &Quot; Order bundle ^ * „Γ '' (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page), 33 8 7twf.doc / 008 Α7 Β7 Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the employee consumer cooperative V. Description of the invention (A) Finally, step 340 is implemented. After the wafer reaches the deposition area 1440, the furnace door 110 'is closed for chemical vapor deposition of the wafer. In summary, it can be known that When entering the furnace tube, the operating conditions that affect the temperature around the wafer include: " 1. Adjustment of nitrogen flow; 2. Adjustment of temperature control mode; and 3. Adjustment of wafer transmission speed. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the temperature of the furnace tube, which is suitable for the process of feeding wafers into or out of the furnace tube. During the process, proper changes to the operating conditions of the furnace tube can reduce the degree of temperature loss of the furnace tube, reduce changes in the temperature around the wafer, thereby preventing wafer damage and improving process quality. According to the purpose of the present invention, a method for controlling the temperature of the furnace tube by using the improvement of the operating conditions of the furnace tube is proposed to improve the quality of the wafer process. The method is briefly described as follows: Adjust the smaller nitrogen flow rate and appropriately configure the needle-shaped thermocouple. And the use of temperature distribution thermocouple, and adjust the smaller conveying speed. Through the improvement of the three operating conditions, the change of the surrounding temperature during the process of feeding the wafer into the furnace tube can be reduced to improve the quality of the wafer process.

FIG. 4 shows a furnace tube LPCVD system according to a preferred embodiment of this age Flow chart of furnace tube operation method. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 at the same time. First, step 400 is performed to adjust the nitrogen flow rate ′ to about 5 to 15 1 / min. The small nitrogen flow can slow down the loss of high temperature gas from the furnace door m when the subsequent furnace door 11G is opened, thereby reducing the magnitude of temperature loss. Next, step 410 ′ is performed at the first time when the furnace door 11 is opened, and the first internal and external temperature control is performed. At the same time, the needle thermocouple 10 and the temperature distribution thermocouple 105 are used to control the temperature of the furnace tube 100. At this time, the needle The use ratio of the shape thermocouple 103 is large. Next, step 420 is performed. At the second time when the wafer feeding is started, the second internal and external temperature control adjustment is performed, and the conveying speed is adjusted to about 30 to 100 mm / min. This small transfer speed allows the wafer to be transported from a low-temperature environment close to the furnace door 11 to a high-temperature environment close to the deposition area 140, with sufficient time to reach a temperature equilibrium with the surroundings to avoid excessive temperature changes. The chip is broken. The second temperature control adjustment refers to the use of the needle-shaped thermocouple 103 and the temperature distribution thermocouple 105 to control the temperature of the furnace tube 100. At this time, the proportion of the two thermocouples is equivalent. In particular, after the furnace door 110 is opened, the method of the present invention uses a temperature distribution thermocouple 105 that can measure the temperature in the control tube to control the temperature, which can better reflect the true temperature inside the furnace tube 100. Be sure to master the furnace (please read the note C of the potential situation before filling out this page) .0 Pack.

Description of the invention 0) The situation of temperature loss in 100 tubes. Next, step 430 is performed to perform a third internal and external temperature control adjustment at the third time when the wafer passes through the mid-way area 130, and the temperature of the furnace tube 100 is controlled by using the needle thermocouple 103 and the temperature distribution thermocouple 105. At this time, the temperature distribution thermocouple The use ratio of 105 is large. Finally, step 440 is performed. After the wafer reaches the deposition area 400, the furnace door 110 is closed to perform chemical vapor deposition of the wafer. Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows the temperature and time distribution of each area in the furnace tube when a preferred embodiment of the present invention is implemented. Among them, the horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is temperature, and the unit is. C. Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and also refer to Figure 1. Among them, the definitions of the second time t2, the third time t3, and the fourth time t4 are the same as the conventional ones. From the second time t2 to the third time t3, the magnitude of the temperature loss in each area 120, 121, 130, 131, 140 of the furnace tube 100 has been reduced. Taking the curve mb as an example, it represents the temperature of the region 121 in the first figure, and the temperature drops to only about 600 ° C. Therefore, during the subsequent third time t3 to the fourth time t4, the temperature of the furnace tube 100 can be raised back to the high temperature required for the reaction by providing less heating energy. In other words, from the beginning of the wafer feeding to the furnace tube 100 to the deposition area 140, the temperature change experienced by the wafer has been reduced, which also reduces the yield and other phenomena that affect the yield.
