Description of the Invention (/) The present invention relates to a semiconductor manufacturing machine, and in particular to the structure of a wafer fixing machine. In the semiconductor manufacturing process, the wafer fixing machine uses wafers to fix wafers to the electrostatic chuck (ESC) of the machine using electrostatic adsorption. In the manufacturing process of semiconductor components, due to the use of many corrosive gases, coupled with the impact of plasma, the electrostatic chuck is very severely damaged, so many machines have switched to ceramic-type electrostatic chucks ( ceramic-ESC). Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 at the same time. FIG. 1 is a conventional wafer fixing machine, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the wafer fixing machine of FIG. The conventional wafer fixing machine 8 is designed to lock the ceramic electrostatic chuck 10 with a screw 11 on a radio frequency plate 13 (radio frequency plate, RF plate), and the machine 8 has a total of eight The screws 11 are evenly distributed around the electrostatic chuck 10. When the two parts are locked, there will still be a micro gap 15 on the contact surface. When the RF plasma is started to process the wafer 12 fixed on the electrostatic chuck 10, the plasma particles will infiltrate into the machine 8 along the above-mentioned micro-gap 15 and the screw 11 Without anodizing, a serious electric arc 16 (arcing) will be generated at the fixing place of the screws 11 between the ceramic electrostatic chuck 10 and the two layers of the radio wave frequency plate 13. When an arc occurs, a high temperature will be generated, and this high temperature will be quickly conducted to the ceramic electrostatic chuck 10 by the screw Π, so that the temperature around the ceramic electrostatic chuck 10 is higher than the ceramic electrostatic chuck during the process. The temperature in the center of the tray 10. Therefore, the wafer 12 adsorbed on the ceramic electrostatic chuck 10 3 This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) --------------- -Order ----- I · line-.} (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 461016 6676twf.doc / 006 Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economics B7 V. Description of Invention (B ) The temperature of the surrounding area Π will be higher than the temperature of the central area 18 of the wafer, as shown in Figure 3. Due to the influence of different temperatures, the etching rate of the high temperature area Π and the central low temperature area 18 around the wafer 12 may be caused (etching rate) is different, which results in poor uniformity of wafer 12 and decrease in yield. In addition, the high temperature generated by the arc will damage the structure of the wafer fixing machine, thus shortening the life of ceramic electrostatic chucks and radio wave flat plates and increasing the cost of the process. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a wafer fixing machine to prevent arcing from occurring in the machine during the plasma process. Another main object of the present invention is to provide a wafer fixing machine to avoid the uneven temperature of the wafer caused by the high temperature caused by the arc, which will affect the yield due to the different wafer etch rates. Yet another main object of the present invention is to provide a wafer fixing machine to avoid the high temperature generated by the arc and shorten the life of the ceramic electrostatic chuck and the radio frequency wave plate. According to the above object, the present invention provides a wafer fixing machine, which at least comprises a 0-ring, an insulating base, a radio wave flat plate, and a ceramic electrostatic chuck. There is a circular groove on the insulating base, which is used to fix the 0-ring on the insulating base. The radio wave plate is located on the base of the Yanhai color edge, and the radio wave plate is within the range of the annular groove. ° and the ceramic electrostatic chuck is located on the insulating base and the radio wave frequency plate ', and the ceramic electrostatic chuck covers the radio wave frequency plate.

A perspective exploded view and a sectional view of a wafer fixing machine according to a preferred embodiment. Referring to FIG. 4, the wafer fixing machine 19 of the present invention includes a 0-ring 26, an insulating base 24, and a radio wave. Frequency plate 23, a ceramic electrostatic chuck 20, and a plurality of screws 21 for fixing the insulating base 24 and the ceramic electrostatic chuck 20. Ministry of Economic Affairs Intellectual Property Printed by the employee's consumer cooperative (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) where ◦ The material of the ring 26 is elastic, such as rubber. The number of screws 21 is eight, for example, all of which have been anodized. Avoid accumulating charges due to contact with plasma particles. At least eight screw lock holes 29 on the insulating base 24 are equally spaced around, and along the outside of these screw lock holes 29, a ring-shaped groove 28 is formed. The groove 28 can fix the O-ring 26 on the insulating base 24. The radio wave plate 23 is located at the upper center of the insulating base 24, and its range is smaller than the area surrounded by the screw lock holes 29 on the insulating base 24. When the screw 21 is fastened, the paper size of the wireless paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) A7 B7 4 6 1 0 1 6 6676twf.doc / 006 V. Description of the invention (γ) Radio frequency plate 23 will not be in contact with these screws 21. The ceramic electrostatic chuck 20 is located above the insulating base 24 and the radio wave plate 23, and there is a recessed space 27 below the chuck 20, and eight are evenly distributed around it screw Lock holes 22, the positions of these screw lock holes 22 correspond to the screw lock holes 29 on the insulating base 24. When the screws 21 lock the ceramic electrostatic chuck 20 and the insulating base 24 through the screw lock holes 22 and 29, the The recessed space 27 below the chuck 20 can just cover the radio wave plate 23. Please refer to FIG. 5. When the wafer fixing machine 2 of the present invention is assembled, the radio wave plate 23 will be The ceramic electrostatic chuck 20 and the insulating base 24 are hidden. Although the screw 21 is tightened, there is still a thin gap 25 on the contact surface between the ceramic electrostatic chuck 20 and the insulating base 24. However, in the ceramic electrostatic chuck 20 Between the insulating base 24 and the outside of the screw 21, there is a 0-ring 26 with elasticity, which can completely seal the space within the ring 26, so that the plasma particles can be isolated from the contact surface during the plasma process. The fine slits 25 enter the machine table 2 to prevent arcing and high temperature caused by the arc. In this way, the present invention can avoid the phenomenon that the temperature of the area around the wafer is higher than the temperature in the center area of the ceramic electrostatic chuck caused by the rapid transmission of high temperature by the screw, thereby preventing the temperature distribution on the wafer from being uniform. The problem of different etching rates in the surrounding area and the central area of the wafer makes the wafer have better uniformity and improves the yield of the product. At the same time, since the present invention can prevent the occurrence of an arc and the high temperature generated by the arc, the life of the wafer fixed table can be extended. 7 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm)
