Description of the Invention () Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a device and method for measuring the position of a wafer on a lower electrode. In particular, it relates to a measurement setup and method for measuring whether the position of the wafer on the lower electrode is shifted by measuring the pressure difference between the upper electrode and the lower electrode below the wafer. Background of the invention: The dry etch process is a very important part in the manufacture of very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). The so-called dry etching process is to place the wafer in the assembly and react to the lower electrode, and then vacuum pump. Then, the reaction gas is sent to the plasma reaction chamber, and then it is released by the RF field, and is continuously pumped by a vacuum pump. After the process is completed, stop the gas supply and turn off the RF generator, and then discharge the residual gas to the reaction room. The wafer is removed after processing, and then a wafer is loaded into the reaction chamber and placed on the lower electrode. Generally speaking, there are two ways of fixing the wafer for the lower electrode, one of which is an electrostatic chuck (E-chuck), and the other is a method of using a mechanical clamp. The position of the wafer on the lower electrode is related to the engraving rate and quality of the wafer. When the position of the wafer is deviated, over-etch and under-etch will occur on the wafer. This paper is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 Specification (210 X 297 Gt) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) -11 ---- Order · -------- Consumption by Employees of Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Cooperative printed 533527 Λ 7 _ Β7 ___ V. The phenomenon of the invention description (), thus reducing the yield, and even leading to the bulk scrap of the wafer. In addition, the wafer's positional deviation will expose some of the lower electrodes to the plasma, causing damage such as arcing and particle generation. Therefore, how to detect the deviation of the position of the wafer on the lower electrode in real-time has become a very important issue. There are some dry etching processes that need to control the temperature of the wafer to obtain the best surname effect, and the backside helium system is one of the more commonly used methods. Please refer to FIG.}, Which is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a conventional lower electrode with a helium system on the back. The so-called back helium system passes helium into the plurality of fine grooves 4 4 and air holes 46 of the lower electrode 40, so that helium flows to the upper surface of the lower electrode 40, so that the helium becomes a medium for controlling the temperature of the wafer ( medium). When the wafer is properly positioned on the lower electrode, the wafer will completely cover these fine grooves 44 and air holes. When the position of the wafer at the lower electrode is deviated, a part of the fine grooves 44 and the air holes 46 are exposed, so that the flow of helium gas is increased compared to the foregoing case. The conventional technique detects whether there is a deviation in the wafer position based on the increase in the flow of helium. Therefore, for a dry etching process using a back helium gas system, the flow rate of helium gas can become an important indicator for detecting the position of the wafer at the lower electrode. However, the foregoing method is completely unsuitable for those dry etching processes that do not use a back helium system, that is, those dry etching processes still lack a measuring device and method for detecting the position of the wafer on the lower electrode. 3 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (2Γ〇_ ;: 297 mm 7 * ------------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)- ---- Order --------- line ▲ 533527 Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 V.

The purpose and summary of the invention of dry etching for controlling the wafer temperature with a helium gas system are as follows: 〇 The flow rate of helium gas is used to detect the temperature of the wafer at the lower electrode circle. It can only be applied to the use of a backside nitrogen system to control the crystalline helium gas system: Α Γ? ^, Several etching processes are not used The back, ..., and position of the wafer on the lower electrode are correct. ® Here, the «position measuring device of the present invention * aims to provide a method and method of wafer on the lower electrode.

Description of Invention () OK, and there is no need to open the measuring method of the electrical reaction chamber. The measuring method and method of the present invention can immediately detect deviations in the position of the wafer, and can provide-+ to provide the wafer on the lower electrode The position of the deviation of the yield. When the present invention is combined with a wafer transfer system, the present invention can automatically correct the wafer transfer system by returning the position of the wafer on the lower electrode to save machine maintenance. Time, so you can get more machine operating time, so High yield β According to the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a device and a method for measuring the position of a wafer on a lower electrode. The device for measuring the position of a wafer on a lower electrode of the present invention includes at least one pressure measurement The component is mounted on the electrode below the carrier wafer. The method for measuring the wafer position on the lower electrode of the present invention is to pass a fixed flow of gas into the electropolymerization reaction chamber, and control the electropolymerization reaction chamber at a preset pressure value. (That is, the pressure value above the wafer), measure the pressure difference (such as the center of the lower electrode) at the point of the pores and slots of the back atmosphere system on the lower electrode and the lower electrode (such as the center of the lower electrode). (If there is no back helium system, you can install a force measuring element on the lower electrode). When the wafer is in the correct position and completely covers the lower electrode, the pressure difference measured at this time has the largest difference. After re-loading a wafer, repeat the above steps again. When the pressure difference measured by the equivalent becomes smaller, it means that the position of the re-loaded wafer is a little different and the lower electrode is exposed. The device and method for measuring the wafer position on the lower electrode of the present invention can further install a plurality of pressure measuring elements at different positions of the lower electrode according to different needs.

Invention Explanation () The wafer 30 is carried on the lower electrode 40, and a pressure measuring element 1 1 0 (for example, a center point on the lower electrode) is disposed on the lower electrode 40. After the gas 10 is input, the pressure of the plasma reaction chamber 20 is detected by the pressure measuring element 100, and the throttle valve is controlled by a pressure control system (not shown) from 50 to an angle The pressure of the plasma reaction chamber 20 is fixed at a preset pressure value, and the isolation 60 is used for emergency isolation of the plasma reaction chamber 20. At this time, the effective speed (Seff) of the vacuum pump 70 will have the following relationship: 1 / Seff = l / Sp + 1 / C (1) where Sp is the fixed speed of the vacuum pump 70; and c is determined by throttling. The system impedance (c) controlled by W50, different throttle angles of W50 will produce system impedance c of different sizes. Under stable conditions, the flux of gas 10 (thrughugh; Q) is equal to the pressure value multiplied by the speed of the vacuum pump, so the reading (PTho) of the pressure measurement element 丨 丨 is equal to Q / Sp, and the reading of the pressure measuring element 100 (pTwo; that is, the pressure value of the plasma reaction to 20) is equal to Q / Seff. Multiplying Q by the relationship (1): Q / Seff = Q / Sp + Q / C, so Q / Seff, Q / Sp = Q / c, that is, the pressure difference between pDing⑽ and PTuo is Q / C. If Q approaches 0 or (: very large, PT100 and PT110 are equal, that is, the pressure of each part of the electropolymerization reaction chamber 20 is the same. Also, if a relatively large flow of gas 10 is passed, PTigq and PTll0 The difference in pressure value will be quite obvious due to the larger Q / C. In general, the paper size of 8 sheets is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before (Fill in this page); ------- Order --------- Line 1 ·· 533527 Α7 Β7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs After the nickname is completed, the plasma reaction chamber 20 is often purged with nitrogen, for example. Therefore, the present invention can use this step to measure whether the position of the wafer on the lower electrode is correct. However, the present invention also Any gas flow at any flow rate, so the invention is not limited to this. Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. When the position of the wafer on the lower electrode is deviated, part of the gas will be exposed through the part The electrode flows to the pipe to which the pressure measuring element 110 is connected, so that Increasing the force 'that is, PT11 () becomes larger' The pressure difference between PT10 and PTn0 will be smaller than when the wafer is positioned correctly on the lower electrode. Therefore, whether the wafer is positioned correctly on the lower electrode can be detected. If the wafer is positioned correctly There are fine grooves 4 4 and air holes 46 as shown in FIG. 1, and the degree of change of PT 11 will be more significant. Please refer to FIG. J. FIG. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The actual operation pressure measurement result table of the embodiment, wherein the machine used is Rainbow 4420 and 4720 etching machines produced by LAM Research. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is 500 cubic meters per minute per standard cubic centimeter. (Seem) Nitrogen gas 10 is passed into the plasma reaction chamber 20, and the vacuum pump 70 is rotated at a fixed rate, and the throttle valve 50 is used to control the pressure value of the electromagnetism reaction chamber 20 at 2000 mtorr. As can be seen from Figure 3, when the wafer is in the correct position on the lower electrode, the pressure value PT on the lower electrode (that is, below the wafer) is 〖10 minutes, and U is 640 and 400 mTorr, which reacts with electropolymerization. The pressure difference in chamber 20 is 1 360 and 1600 Torr.

The pressure difference with the plasma reaction chamber 20 is reduced to 960 and 900 mTorr, respectively. Therefore, it can be seen from the reduction of these pressure difference that the position of the wafer on the lower electrode is biased. In the present invention, a plurality of pressure measuring elements can be set on the lower electrode, so as to measure the pressure value at different positions on the lower electrode to know the position where the wafer has deviated on the lower electrode. Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a plasma reaction chamber and related components according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a structure of a lower electrode according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. Schematic view. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is that three pressure measuring elements 1 1 OR, 1 1 0, and 1 1 are provided on the right, center, and left sides of the lower electrode as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 respectively. 0L, the pressure readings are PT11 () R, PTii And PTiiol. When the wafer position is to the right of the down electrode, part of the gas will first flow to the pipeline connected to the pressure measuring element 1 10L, which will increase PTi 10L; otherwise, when the wafer position is to the down electrode On the left, part of the gas will first flow to the pipeline connected to the pressure measuring element 1 1 0R, which will increase the PT110R. Therefore, by changing the PT110R, ρτ110, and PTi10L, the wafer at the lower electrode can be detected Whether the position of the sensor is correct and the position where the deviation occurs. The position and number of the pressure measuring elements used in the another preferred embodiment of the present invention described above are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Description of the invention () Therefore, 'A method for measuring the position of the wafer on the lower electrode can be synthesized as follows: When, for example, the wafer is correctly placed on the lower electrode by manual calibration, Pass a fixed flow of gas into the plasma reaction chamber, and then use the throttle to control the plasma reaction chamber to a preset pressure value. Read and record the pressure values measured by the pressure measuring elements on the electrodes. Thousands of reference pressure values can be obtained. After the next wafer is placed on the lower electrode by the wafer transfer system, the above steps are repeated. At this time, several pressure values can be obtained. If at least one of these pressure values is When a reference pressure value greater than the same position (that is, the pressure difference between the pressure value and the preset pressure value is less than the pressure difference between the reference pressure value and the preset pressure value at the same position), it can be determined that the wafer is below The position on the electrode is biased 'and the relative position of the wafer on the lower electrode can be known from the relative positions of these pressure measuring elements with a large pressure value. The device and method for measuring the position of a wafer on an electrode under the present invention can be further combined with a wafer transfer system. The present invention can feedback the information of the position of the wafer at the lower electrode to the wafer transfer system, thereby correcting errors that may occur when the wafer transfer system automatically places the wafer. As for how to apply the information on the position of the lower electrode of the wafer generated by the present invention, it is well known to those skilled in the art, so the present invention will not repeat them here. To sum up, one advantage of the present invention is to provide a measuring device and method for the wafer position on the lower electrode.
