請參閱圖5及圖6,分別為本發明可準確調整溫度的承載盤一實施例的剖面示意圖及俯視透視圖。如圖所示,承載盤30用以承載至少一晶圓12,主要包括一承載單元11、至少一加熱單元13、一導熱盤14、至少一冷卻單元35、至少一溫度感測單元17及一控制單元19,其中承載單元11包括一承載面111用以承載晶圓12,例如承載單元11可以是鈦盤。加熱單元13及冷卻單元35層疊設置,而導熱盤14則位於加熱單元13及冷卻單元35之間,其中加熱單元13較冷卻單元35靠近承載單元11的承載面111及承載的晶圓12。

在本發明實施例中,冷卻單元35包括第一冷卻管線351,其中第一冷卻管線351流體連接一第一輸入管線3511及一第一輸出管線3513,其中第一輸入管線3511將第一冷卻流體輸送至第一冷卻管線351,而第一冷卻管線351則將第一冷卻流體輸送至第一輸出管線3513。輸送至第一冷卻管線351的第一冷卻流體經由導熱盤14吸收加熱單元13及承載單元11的熱量,使得由第一輸出管線3513出的冷卻流體的溫度會高於第一輸入管線3511。
In the embodiment of the present invention, the cooling
具體而言,本發明實施例的第一冷卻管線351分佈在承載單元11上的範圍及/或面積較第一冷卻管線151廣,因此在本發明實施例中不需要設置第二冷卻管線153。
Specifically, the
在實際應用時,第一輸出管線3513通常會流體連接一流量檢測器3515,其中流量檢測器3515用以檢測第一輸出管線3513上第一冷卻流體的流量,以確保第一冷卻流體在第一冷卻管線351內正常流動。然而當第一輸出管線3513內的第一冷卻流體的溫度過高時,往往會導致流量檢測器3515損壞。
In practical applications, the
為了避免上述情形發生,本發明進一步在第一輸出管線3513上設置一冷卻套管353,並使得冷卻套管353接觸第一輸出管線3513,其中冷卻套管353連接一第二輸入管線3531及一第二輸出管線3533。第二輸入管線3531將一第二冷卻流體輸送至冷卻套管353,且第二冷卻流體經由第二輸出管線3533輸出冷卻套管353。位於冷卻套管353內的第二冷卻流體會接觸第一輸出管線3513,並透過熱傳導的方式吸收第一輸出管線3513內的第一冷卻流體的熱量,以降低第一輸出管線3153內的第一冷卻流體的溫度,並避免流量檢測器3515損壞。
