Then, after reaching the set temperature T1 before reaching the annealing temperature TA, the emission current value is decreased stepwise and the temperature rise is continued, so the temperature control response is better than the PID control. This is because the PID control is a kind of feedback control, and the control is performed after detecting the amount of change, so the responsiveness is poor.
- the temperature control method according to the present invention reduces the emission current value stepwise and continues to raise the temperature, so that it becomes a kind of predictive control and has excellent responsiveness.

- PID control is used at the time of heat retention after the output of the heating source is reduced by only one stage, the temperature cannot be controlled with high speed and good stability. This is probably due to the following reasons. That is, as the substrate size increases, the heat capacity due to the expansion of the heater and the substrate stage increases.
- thermoelectrons are generated from the filament in order to use an ultrahigh temperature region of 1500 ° C. or higher. Therefore, in this temperature region, even if the filament current is varied, the change in the filament temperature is delayed.

また、ヒータ温度を直接測定してフィードバックをかけなくても、基板ステージの裏面温度を測定することで、温度制御が可能となる。
一方、加熱源の出力を一段階のみ低下させた後の保温時にPID制御を用いる場合には、高速、安定性良く温度を制御することが出来ない。これは、以下の理由によるものと思われる。すなわち、基板サイズの大口径化に伴い、ヒータや基板ステージの拡大による熱容量が増大している。また、SiC基板の活性化アニール処理には、1500℃以上の超高温領域を用いるためにフィラメントから熱電子を発生させている。そのため、この温度領域では、フィラメント電流を可変させても、フィラメント温度の変化が遅くなる。
実施例1は、図1及び図2の電子衝撃加熱装置1を用いて、本発明の温度制御方法を用いて半導体デバイスを製造する場合について説明する。
実施例2では、実施例1と同じ基板を用いて、1500℃で1分間の活性化アニール処理を施す場合について説明する。
実施例3では、実施例1と同じ基板を用いて、1550℃で1分間の活性化アニール処理を施す場合について説明する。
実施例4では、実施例1と同じ基板を用いて、1600℃で1分間の活性化アニール処理を施す場合について説明する。
