Definitions
- the present invention relates to photoresist management in a semiconductor manufacturing process, and more particularly to a photoresist management apparatus and management method for a semiconductor photolithography process.
- a photoresist used in a semiconductor photolithography process is managed using a bar code, and manages data and data from a semiconductor process tool for performing a semiconductor manufacturing process. Data from the bar code system was reported to the host via a separate channel.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a conventional PR management system using a barcode.
- the host 20 is connected to the semiconductor process tool 10 and transmits / receives and processes data related to the semiconductor manufacturing process.
- PR is a photosensitive polymer material used for photolithography, and is generally placed in a bottle-shaped PR container 30 and placed in the semiconductor process tool 10.
- a barcode is attached to the PR container 30, and the operator acquires data relating to PR with the barcode reader 50 and sends the data to the host 20 via the barcode controller 40.
- PR is managed by the following process.
- the semiconductor process tool 10 detects that there is no PR in the PR container 30 and notifies the host 20 of it. Therefore, the operator sees the message notified from the host 20 and recognizes that the PR container 30 is empty. Thereafter, the operator directly checks the state of the PR container 30 arranged in the semiconductor process tool 10 to confirm the empty PR container 30. Then, the operator inputs data on a new PR container 30 '(not shown) containing the same PR with the barcode reader 50, and then replaces the empty PR container 30 with a new PR container 30'. Data input by the bar code reader 50 is sent to the host 20 via the bar code reader controller 40.

- the sensor detects that no PR is present in the PR container 30 (PR empty event)
- the operator brings a new container 30 'of the same type.
- the operator removes the PR container 30 without PR, attaches a new PR container 30 ′ at that position, and reads the barcode attached to the newly attached PR container 30 ′ through the barcode reader 50.
- the PR management apparatus to which the barcode reader 50 is connected determines whether or not the PR types in the PR containers (30, 30 ′) before and after replacement are the same from the read barcode data, and the same type If not, a warning message is displayed.

There was annoyance that it was necessary to synchronize and use data coming in via two different routes.
- the conventional PR management system is basically a system using a bar code, and the operator directly inputs the PR data to be replaced with the bar code reader 50 during the PR replacement work. There is a problem that the replacement takes time and is replaced with another PR due to an operator error.
- the bar code data attached to the PR containers (30, 30 ′) before and after the replacement is used only to check whether the PR types match. Even if they are the same type of PR, if the manufacturer, lot number, or whether there is aging, etc. are different, there will be a difference in fine components in the PR, and such a difference will be the actual semiconductor manufacturing. There was a problem affecting the process.
- the present invention has been made to solve such problems of the prior art, and is managed by managing the PR used in the semiconductor manufacturing process by using the wireless tag technology and unifying the communication system.

- a photoresist management method for achieving the above object is a method for managing photoresist in a photoresist management apparatus connected to a semiconductor process tool, a wireless tag reader, and a host.
- the wireless tag reader is requested to obtain data related to the empty photoresist container, and the wireless tag is acquired.
- another photoresist management apparatus obtains photoresist type data indicating the type of photoresist and photoresist attribute data indicating the attribute of the photoresist for a photoresist container attached at a predetermined position.
- An acquisition unit a storage unit for storing the photoresist type data and the photoresist attribute data obtained by the acquisition unit, and, if the photoresist container is replaced, whether the acquisition unit is stored in the storage unit.
- a comparison unit that compares the photoresist type data and photoresist attribute data for the photoresist container before replacement with the photoresist type data and photoresist attribute data for the photoresist container after replacement, using the data obtained from Depending on the result of the comparison, And a notification section for notifying whether or not there was an error in the replacement of the resist container.
