559941 A7 B7 五、發明説明(〇 (發明之背景) 本發明是關於一種蝕刻半導體元件並加以製造的裝置 ,又關於一種具備測定鈾刻的深度的測定手段的裝置。 在形成半導體元件中,爲了除去形成在半導體晶圓的 表面上的介質材料,絕緣材料的層等各種材料的層或是爲 了在此些層形成圖案,廣泛地使用乾蝕刻。在進行該乾蝕 刻時,在上述層的加工中調節蝕刻成爲所期望的蝕刻深度 或層膜厚爲極重要,所以被要求正確地求出鈾刻的終點或 膜厚。 然而,眾知使用電漿加以乾蝕刻半導體晶圓加以處理 之際,來自包含於電漿光的特定波長的光的發光強度,隨 著特定膜的蝕刻進行有所變化。作爲檢測該半導體晶圓的 蝕刻終點或膜厚的蝕刻狀態的一種技術。眾知有在乾蝕刻 處理中檢測來自電漿的特定波長的發光強度的變化,而依 據該檢測結果來檢測特定膜的鈾刻終點或膜厚的技術。欲 提昇該檢測精度,必須減低起因於依雜訊所產生的檢測波 形的變動的誤檢測。 如此地作爲檢測半導體晶圓的蝕刻終點的技術,眾知 有使用揭示於日本特開平5 - 1 7 9 4 6 7號公報(習知 技術1 ),特開平8 — 2 7 4 0 8 2號公報(習知技術2 )’特開2 0 0 0 — 9 7 6 4 8號公報(習知技術3 ), 及特開2 0 〇 〇 - 1 〇 6 3 5 6號公報(習知技術4 )等 的干擾計者。 在特開平5 — 1 7 9 4 6 7號公報(習知技術1 )中 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 、π 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 -4- 559941 A7 B7 五、發明説明(2) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) ’使用紅、綠、藍的三種濾色片,檢測干擾光(電漿光) ’進行蝕刻的終點檢測者;在特開平8 - 2 7 4 0 8 2號 公報(U S F 5 6 5 8 4 1 8 )(習知技術2 )中,使用 兩種波長的干擾波形的時間變化與其微分波形,來計數干 擾波形的極値(波形的最大、最小··微分波形的零通過點 )。藉計測計數達到所定値的時間來算出蝕刻速度,而依 據算出的蝕刻速度來求出達到所定膜厚的剩餘蝕刻時間。 而依據該時間進行停止蝕刻處理。在特開2 0 0 0 - 9 7 6 4 8號公報(習知技術3 )中,求出處理前的干擾光的 光強度圖案(將波長作爲參數)與處理後或處理中的干擾 光的光強度圖案的相差的波形(將波長作爲參數),藉由 該差波形與資料庫化的差波形的比較來測定段差(膜厚) 。特開2 0 0 0 — 1 0 6 3 5 6號公報(習知技術4 )是 關於一種旋轉塗布裝置,測定多波長有關的干擾光的時間 變化,來求出膜厚。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 檢測蝕刻的終點而欲停止處理時,實際上,膜層的剩 餘厚度儘量接近或相等於所定値爲極重要。在習知的技術 ’依據各該層的蝕刻速度爲一定的前提來調整時間以利監 視上述膜厚。成爲該基準的蝕刻速度値,是例如處理作爲 樣品的晶圓而事先求出。在該技術,若經過對應於所定膜 厚的時間,則停止蝕刻處理。 但是,眾知實際的膜,例如藉由L P C V D ( low pressure chemical vapor deposition)方法所形成的 S i 〇 2 層,是厚度的再現性低(所形成的層的厚度的偏差較大) 本紙張尺度適财關家鮮(CNS ) A4· ( 210X297公釐) -5- 559941 A7 B7 五、發明説明(3) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 。依L P CVD中的處理變動的厚度的容許誤差,是例如 相當於S i〇2層的初期厚的大約1 〇 %。因此,在依據上 述習知技術的時間的調整,無法正確地測定出留在矽基板 上的S i〇2層的實際最終厚度。 又,在上述習知技術,未考慮到以下之諸處。(1 ) 進行使用掩蔽材(例如光阻、氮化膜、氧化膜)的蝕刻, 則來自掩蔽材的干擾光重疊在被蝕刻的材料的干擾光。欲 從干擾光僅檢測被處理材的蝕刻狀態,必須儘量除去來自 掩蔽材的干擾光的影響。 (2 )又,在經過程處理的被處理材的材料(例如矽 或絕緣膜或設在其上面的掩蔽材)的蝕刻處理,由於掩蔽 材也與矽或絕緣膜一起被蝕刻,而不僅來自被處理材的干 擾光還有來自掩蔽材的干擾光也變動,因此欲從依掩蔽的 鈾刻所產生的影響僅檢測被處理材的蝕刻量(蝕刻深度) ,必須考慮來自上述掩蔽材的干擾光的變化進行檢測,惟 在習知技術並未被考慮。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 (3 )量產過程的加工用晶圓,是起因於元件構造而 使得掩蔽材的初期厚度或被掩蔽材的初期厚度在晶圓面內 具有不同分布之故,因而對於成爲處理對象的一種類膜層 重疊有來自不同膜厚者的干擾光。對於減低此些的影響, 在習知技術並未充分地考慮。 由以上理由,以高精度檢測被處理材的層(成爲半導 體過程處理的對象的膜的層),特別是在電漿蝕刻處理的 被處理層的蝕刻深度或留下的膜厚,而欲調整蝕刻的狀態 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS )

INTRODUCTION TO THE INVENTION (0 (Background of the Invention) The present invention relates to a device for etching and manufacturing semiconductor devices, and also to a device provided with a measuring means for measuring the depth of uranium engraving. In forming semiconductor devices, in order to Dry etching is widely used to remove layers of various materials such as dielectric materials and insulating material layers formed on the surface of semiconductor wafers, or to pattern these layers. During this dry etching, the above-mentioned layers are processed. It is extremely important to adjust the etching to a desired etching depth or film thickness. Therefore, it is required to accurately determine the end point or film thickness of the uranium etch. However, it is known to dry plasma semiconductor wafers using plasma for processing. The luminous intensity of light of a specific wavelength included in the plasma light changes with the etching of a specific film. As a technique for detecting the etching end point or the film thickness of the semiconductor wafer, the technique is known. Changes in the luminous intensity of a specific wavelength from the plasma are detected during the etching process, and the Techniques for engraving endpoints or film thicknesses. To improve this detection accuracy, it is necessary to reduce false detections due to fluctuations in the detection waveform due to noise. As a technique for detecting the etching endpoint of a semiconductor wafer, it is well known to use disclosure In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-1 7 9 4 6 7 (Knowledge Technology 1), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-2 7 4 0 8 4 No. 8 (Knowledge technology 3), and JP 2000- 1 0 06 3 5 6 (Knowledge technology 4) and other interference meters. JP 5-1 7 9 4 6 7 Bulletin (Known Technology 1) The paper size in this paper applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page). Manufacturing-4- 559941 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 'Use three types of red, green and blue filters to detect interference light (plasma light)' Detector of the end point of etching; in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-2 7 4 0 8 2 (USF 5 6 5 8 4 1 8) ( In the known technique 2), the time variation of the two-wavelength interference waveform and its differential waveform are used to count the extremes of the interference waveform (the maximum and minimum of the waveform. Zero crossing points of the differential waveform). Time is used to calculate the etching rate, and the remaining etching time to reach a predetermined film thickness is obtained based on the calculated etching rate. The etching process is stopped based on this time. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2 0 0-9 7 6 4 8 (Xi In the known technique 3), a waveform (with a wavelength as a parameter) of a phase difference between the light intensity pattern of the interference light before the processing (using the wavelength as a parameter) and the light intensity pattern of the interference light after or during the processing is obtained. The difference waveform is compared with a database-based difference waveform to measure the step difference (film thickness). Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2 0 0 — 1 0 6 3 5 6 (conventional technique 4) relates to a spin coating device that measures the time variation of interference light related to multiple wavelengths to determine the film thickness. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to detect the end of etching and stop processing. In fact, it is extremely important that the remaining thickness of the film is as close to or equal to the predetermined thickness. In the conventional technique, the time is adjusted based on the premise that the etching rate of each layer is constant to facilitate the monitoring of the film thickness. The reference etching rate 成为 is obtained in advance, for example, by processing a wafer as a sample. In this technique, when a time corresponding to a predetermined film thickness elapses, the etching process is stopped. However, it is known that actual films, such as the S i 〇2 layer formed by the LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapor deposition) method, have low reproducibility in thickness (the thickness of the formed layer has a large deviation). Paper size Shicai Guanjiaxian (CNS) A4 · (210X297mm) -5- 559941 A7 B7 V. Description of Invention (3) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page). The allowable error of the thickness depending on the processing variation in the L P CVD is, for example, approximately 10% corresponding to the initial thickness of the Si 102 layer. Therefore, the actual final thickness of the Si 102 layer left on the silicon substrate cannot be accurately measured by adjusting the time according to the conventional technique. In the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the following points are not considered. (1) Etching using a masking material (for example, a photoresist, a nitride film, and an oxide film) causes the interference light from the masking material to overlap the interference light of the material to be etched. To detect only the etching state of the material to be treated from the interference light, it is necessary to remove the influence of the interference light from the masking material as much as possible. (2) In addition, in the process of etching the material of the processed material (such as silicon or an insulating film or a masking material provided thereon), the masking material is also etched together with the silicon or insulating film, not only from The interference light from the processing material and the interference light from the masking material also change. Therefore, in order to detect only the etching amount (etching depth) of the processing material from the effect of the masked uranium engraving, the interference from the masking material must be considered. Changes in light are detected, but conventional techniques have not been considered. The wafer for processing (3) mass production process printed by the employee's consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is due to the component structure, which causes the initial thickness of the masking material or the initial thickness of the masking material to have different distributions on the wafer surface. Therefore, an interference light from a different film thickness is superimposed on a film-like layer to be processed. To reduce these effects, the conventional technology has not been fully considered. For the above reasons, it is necessary to adjust the layer of the material to be processed (the layer of the film to be processed by the semiconductor process) with high accuracy, especially the etching depth or the remaining film thickness of the layer to be treated in the plasma etching process. Etching status This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297mm) -6- 559941 A7 ___B7_ V.

Description of the invention (5) (Please read the back Note: Please fill in this page again.) There are multiple layers of film to measure the light interference from the surface of the semiconductor wafer processed by the generated plasma, and display the light interference obtained during the predetermined period of the processing. The display means for the change and the change in the use of the above-mentioned light interference in accordance with the time change of the above-mentioned light wavelength indicating a specific chirp is judged and displayed. The above-mentioned object is a method for determining an end point, which is characterized in that plasma is generated and the interference of light from the surface of a semiconductor wafer is measured while the semiconductor wafer having a plurality of layers on its surface is being processed, and the measurement is performed from the measurement. The change in the interference of light becomes a time change of the wavelength of the light above a predetermined threshold, and it is determined that one of the film thicknesses of the film of the semiconductor wafer is achieved. In addition, an end point determination method is characterized in that plasma is generated, and a semiconductor wafer having a plurality of films on its surface is processed while detecting a disturbance change of light from the surface of the semiconductor wafer. The data of the interference change of the detected light is superimposed on a circle, and the time change of the wavelength of the light of the light above the predetermined value is determined by the interference change of the light obtained from the overlapped data to determine one of the films of the semiconductor wafer. The film thickness is achieved.

Stored in a memory device such as RA Μ. Further, from the smoothed differential constant series data, a real pattern showing the wavelength dependence (with the wavelength as a parameter) of the differential chirp indicating the intensity of the interference light was obtained. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. On the other hand, as a database of differential waveform patterns, a differential waveform pattern of an interference light intensity for a wavelength band corresponding to a step difference between a processed material and a masking material to be measured is set in advance.

In the second figure, the material to be processed (crystal circle) is a masking material 41 laminated on a silicon substrate 40. At this etching position, the paper is compliant with China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -16- 559941 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (In the process, the silicon substrate is an etched material, and these heat treatments are performed by It is called, for example, STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) uranium for element separation (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). In Figure 3, the horizontal axis represents the uranium engraving time, and the vertical axis represents the wavelength in a predetermined range. ; Color intensity is used to indicate the light intensity at any wavelength at each time. As shown in the figure, depending on the wavelength of the interference light, the pattern of its intensity changes with the change of the etching process time. The long wavelength range (the second wavelength Frequency band: For example, the differential waveform of interference light data at 700 nm is a period that changes its size with the time of the etching process and changes relatively slowly. On the other hand, the short wavelength range (the first wavelength Frequency band: for example, 300 nm) The interference waveform is compared with the long-wavelength wave with a longer period, which becomes a short-cycle change. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs As can be seen from the figure, by processing the change in light emission in the vacuum chamber 10 of this embodiment, the change in the interference component according to the etching of the masking material and the change in the interference component according to the step difference between the processed material and the masking material are more significant. Clearly. This is because the refractive index of the material being etched (for example, the refractive index of the nitride film of silicon and the masking material and the vacuum refractive index of the trench portion) is different for the wavelength. Also, as the etching time passes, It can be seen that the pattern of the change of the differentiated interference light is divided into three fields. That is, in FIG. 3, the uranium engraving of the BARC material, the etching of silicon nitride (S i N), and the oxide film (S i〇 2) Interfering light engraved with uranium. In each range, it can be seen that the color-dense area representing the size of the data puppet has a specific pattern on the coordinate plane (dimensions) of wavelength and time. Scope, or this paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -17- 559941 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (^ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) In the data of the range, on the coordinate plane, the stripes are arranged alternately, and the larger a top " fields > and the valley valleys are arranged alternately. These "ridge ridges or valley valleys" It means the change of wavelength time with the magnitude of the interference light changing above or below a specific chirp. It can also be seen that the "ridge" area of the stripe has a part where the chirp becomes smaller on the way, and it can be seen that > The characteristic of the ridge ridge is broken. According to the review by the inventors, these patterns are formed by overlapping interference light according to the etching of the material to be treated and the masking material. "The pattern of the ridge "% 谷 " According to the intensity of the interference light of the material to be processed; it can be seen that the smaller area of the ridge of the ridge ridge that breaks the above is the result of the interference light of the masking material overlapping with the interference light of the material to be processed. By. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, that is, the patterns from the above-mentioned a ridge 〃 > ) Obtained by interference, the pattern reflects the progress or state of the etching and its changes. Using the characteristics of the patterns of these materials, the etching state of the material to be processed (the thickness of the residual film or the arrival of the end point) can be known, and the etching state of the masking material can be determined. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when processing a semiconductor wafer having a structure in which a plurality of layers are stacked, changes in the above-mentioned characteristics of each layer occur, and it is possible to clarify the progress of the etching process over time, and detect The progress of the etching state is changed. The present invention is based on the knowledge and reviewers of such inventors. An example of the display of the above-mentioned disturbing light data in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an etching state indicated by the display means of the first embodiment using the data of Fig. 3; This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -18- 559941 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (θ (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) In this figure, as mentioned above The differential data of the interference light shows the etching time on the horizontal axis and the wavelength of the interference light on the vertical axis. Using the displayed data, you can know the following. From the pattern changes with the passage of time on the above data, It is divided into a plurality of fields corresponding to each material to be etched, and the time required for the etching of each material layer can be known from the length of time in each field. If the layer thickness of these films is accurately known in advance, the etching rate can be known from this time ( Ratio). In each field, find the coordinates of a specific ridge that selects a specific "ridge" and overlap it. [In this embodiment, (a, b), (c, d), ( e, f). The "ridge" superimposed on this line indicates how the etching of the corresponding processed material (BARK, SiN, Si〇2) changes with time. If you know the processed Refractive index of the material The etch rate (ratio) of the processed material can be detected from the line corresponding to the 'ridge ridge.' The etch rate detected by using a pattern of differential data from the interference light printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs can detect To determine with higher accuracy, determine the so-called thickness of the film during etching or the state of the etching at the end point. In addition, as described above, the etching time (the time required to etch each film) corresponding to the area of each material to be processed can be detected. Therefore, the film thickness of each material can also be detected with high accuracy. In these inspections or judgments, the characteristics of the interference light change caused by the etching of the material to be processed are used, and the interference light and the processing by the masking material are overlapped with each other. The influence of the interference light caused by the etching of the material is greatly reduced, and the erroneous detection is suppressed to a very low level. In addition, the data of the etching state obtained above are displayed on a graph display or the like by a number, a graph, or the like. Display means 1 5 6. Also, these capital paper standards are applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) -19- 559941 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention θ (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) It is also possible to store it separately in the memory device. Therefore, the user can know that the differential data of the waveform of the interference light will change over time, and also know how to borrow The etching state, residual film thickness, or etching speed determined by the device can provide users with useful information when adjusting the operation of the device, and can also improve the efficiency of the device's operation. Also, these differential waveform patterns of interference light, Each state of the material to be treated becomes a unique pattern. If the materials of the material to be treated are different, these patterns will also change. Therefore, for various materials required for processing and the range of etching depth, through experiments It is preferable to obtain the data in advance, and use the differential waveform pattern as a standard pattern and keep it in the recording device. These memory devices may be provided under the control of the measuring device described above, the calculation means 153 may be provided, or they may be provided as external memory devices connected to a cable. Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention that uses the pattern of the differential waveform of the interference light to determine the etching state with higher accuracy will be described. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the wafers to be sampled are etched before the wafers to be processed are processed, and the etching rate or film obtained at this time is The thickness is used as reference data for the actual processed wafers to be processed thereafter. This type of data is used as a premise that the etching conditions of the wafer for processing the sample and the wafer for the actual processing are only within a predetermined difference range that is considered to be approximately the same. In the conventional technique, whenever the specifications of such an etching condition are different, a wafer of a sample for measuring such information is processed. For this reason, for example, when the specifications of the etching gas are different in each batch, and each time such specifications are changed, the processing of the sample wafer becomes the acquisition information, and the time of this amount becomes the need for this paper. Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) _ -20- 559941 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (^ (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page). That is, in this conventional technology, In order to quickly respond to the needs of users, the wafers are processed in small batches under many different conditions each time. When the wafers to be processed are included in different batches under different processing conditions, the processing efficiency is lost. In addition, when the wafer that processes the sample contains a special phenomenon, it is because the data containing the influence of the phenomenon is used as the reference data. Therefore, in the processing of the actual wafer based on the data, the actual person is not applicable. The semiconductor device to be processed does not meet the desired specifications, and there is a risk of a problem of lowering the yield. Thus, in this embodiment, different etching gases are used. Multiple processing data with different etching conditions such as specifications, etc., are obtained as reference data. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Figure 5 shows the differential waveform of interference light obtained when multiple processing with different etching conditions is performed side by side. The graph of the data. Because the uranium carving conditions are different, the data of the differential waveform of the interference light is different in each condition. In particular, the distribution or processing time of the areas of larger radon and smaller radon is different. It shows that the etching speed is different. Fig. 6 is a pattern showing the differential waveform of the interference light when the patterns of these data are arranged using specific parameters for the complex data of such different conditions. , The specific component obtained by analyzing the differential waveform data shown on the right and principal component analysis is used, and in this embodiment, the second principal component is used. As shown in FIG. 5, obtained from waveform data of a plurality of different etching conditions. The positions of the peak chirps (minimum chirps) of the second component are at different positions. The first major component of the above-mentioned differential waveform data is The amount indicated in the sub-section is equivalent to the multi-wavelength interference in the case of plasma light emission. The paper standard applies the CNS A4 specification (2 like 297)--21-559941 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention ( ^ (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) The properties of the average natural light spectrum of light. On the other hand, the amount represented by the second principal component represents the gap from the first principal component, which means that it depends on the plasma. The amount of how the luminous interference light changes from the average quantity. The minimum value 指 refers to the number of 値 which differentiates the component and passes through the zero point. According to the review by the inventors, it can be seen that the graph shown in FIG. 6 is shown on the left. The arrow in the column indicates the position of the peak 値 (minimum 値) of the waveform of the second principal component, and can be approximately the same. When the length of the etching time on the horizontal axis of the telescope is consistent, the corresponding column on the right side The differential pattern becomes approximately similar in a specific range. In particular, it can be seen that the distribution of the larger radon fields and the smaller radon fields becomes approximately similar shapes. In this way, the data obtained under a plurality of uranium engraving conditions with a uniform pattern are used: an etching state that can be detected with high accuracy. For example, by using an average of a plurality of pieces of data having a pattern of approximately similar shapes superimposed as described above, the influence of data patterns depending on special phenomena and conditions can be suppressed, and a more accurate judgment can be made. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. When overlapping, the coordinates of the horizontal axis (time) and vertical axis (wavelength) used as a reference are determined in advance, and converted into the time-wavelength coordinate position of the reference. Count it and count it. For example, when the time interval of the horizontal axis of the reference coordinate is expanded to match the pattern (the position of the minimum 値 of the second principal component is matched), it is necessary to obtain the data of the intermediate point of the original coordinate point before the expansion. The data is obtained by interpolating the data of the original coordinate points. In this case, a well-known method of interpolation of mathematical data can be used. In the following, using FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 to explain the determination of the paper size of the semiconducting paper of this embodiment as applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) M specification (210X297 mm) -22- 559941 A7 B7 5.

Description of the invention (2) Well-known method (SG, etc.) to calculate the micro coefficients, and then smoothed by a digital filter. The differential data of the interference waveform at the complex wavelength is the data obtained as the time-wavelength coordinates. Comparing the data obtained in this way and the reference data, the number of remaining thicknesses of the film on the wafer is calculated as follows A. Then, in step 706, it is determined whether or not the residual film thickness is determined. If it is determined that the residual film thickness is not determined, the process moves to step 007 to determine whether the data sampling of the wafer currently being processed has ended. When it is determined in step 7 0 6 that the remaining film thickness is determined, then in step 7 0 7 it is determined whether the remaining thickness of the film to be judged is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold of the judgment standard. If it is larger than the predetermined threshold, the process returns to step 7 0 4 Continue wafer processing and data sampling. If it is judged that it is smaller than the predetermined time, in step 709, the data sampling is ended and the necessary settings at this time are performed. After that, it is determined in step 7 10 whether to process the acquired data. If it is determined that processing is not required, the process moves to step 7 1 4 to determine the end of wafer processing. At this time, the acquired data may be memorized in hardware such as post-processing. If it is judged that data processing is performed, the data in 'B' shown in step 7 1 1 is processed. The processing performed here is explained in detail using FIG. 8. Using the data processed in B, the etching conditions are calculated in step 7 1 2. After considering the engraving conditions calculated in the S record, the data processing is terminated, and it is judged whether the wafer processing is terminated (steps 7 1 3, 7 1 4). When it is judged that the wafer processing is terminated, the predetermined wafer processing is terminated.

(Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) Using FIG. 8, the process B in FIG. 7 will be described in detail. In step 801, it is determined whether data processing is possible. For example, when the discharge is started or the order for removing electricity is selected, except for the range of time when the optical signal in the container changes transiently. For the selected range of data that can be processed, the principal component analysis of the series of data during the above smoothing is performed (step 802). At step 803, the principal component obtained from the result of the principal component analysis is calculated. The score of the intrinsic spectrum (SCORE), and in step 804, the time at which the minimum 値 (extreme 値) of the second principal component is calculated by the time-varying differential processing of the score, etc. In this differentiation processing, S is used -A well-known method such as the G method. For the time when the extreme time obtained in step 804 is reached, it is determined whether to process the time-wavelength differential waveform data obtained by superimposing the wafer processing on other etching conditions (step 80). 5), when being processed, the patterns are overlapped to make the patterns consistent, so that the extreme moments that become the second principal component become the same time scale (step 806).
