Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to radio-frequency (RF) generators and, more specifically, to apparatuses and techniques for tuning the frequency of an RF generator that supplies power to a plasma processing chamber to change the impedance of the plasma load in a desired manner.
- RF radio-frequency
- a radio-frequency (RF) generator is used to supply power to the plasma load.
- RF radio-frequency
- Today's advanced plasma processes include ever more complicated recipes and recipe-changing procedures in which load (plasma) impedance dynamically changes. This can make it challenging to match the source impedance of the RF generator with the load impedance of the plasma for efficient power transfer.
- Such impedance matching can be performed using a matching network, but this approach is relatively slow in the context of modern short-duration plasma processes.
- An alternative approach is to adjust the frequency of the RF generator, which alters the impedance of the plasma load.
- “Plasma load” includes the plasma itself and any matching network. Such an approach has the potential to be much faster than adjusting a matching network. It is also possible to combine the two techniques (one or more matching networks and frequency tuning).
- An aspect may be characterized as a radio-frequency (RF) generator that includes an exciter that generates a signal oscillating at an initial frequency, a power amplifier that amplifies the signal to produce an amplified oscillating signal, a filter that filters the amplified oscillating signal to produce an output signal that supplies power to a plasma load in a plasma processing chamber, a sensor that senses at least one property of the plasma load, and a frequency-tuning subsystem.
- RF radio-frequency
- the frequency-tuning subsystem includes a non-transitory, tangible, machine- readable medium encoded with instructions to perform a method that includes receiving an impedance trajectory of the plasma load as a function of exciter frequency; receiving a reference point in a complex-reflection-coefficient plane, the reference point lying on a reference vector that passes through the reference point and an origin of the complex- reflection-coefficient plane; receiving, from the sensor, a measured impedance of the plasma load, the measured impedance lying along the received impedance trajectory; determining a measurement angle between the reference vector and a line passing through the reference point and a point in the complex-reflection-coefficient plane corresponding to the measured impedance, as expressed in terms of complex reflection coefficient; scaling the measurement angle by a predetermined constant to produce a frequency step; adding the frequency step to the initial frequency to produce an adjusted frequency; and causing the exciter to generate a signal oscillating at the adjusted frequency.
- Another aspect may be characterized as the method including repeating iteratively the receiving, from the sensor, a measured impedance, the determining, the scaling, the adding, and the causing, the initial frequency in each iteration subsequent to a first iteration being the adjusted frequency produced during an immediately preceding iteration.
- Yet another aspect may be characterized as the method including producing the frequency step by subtracting a predetermined detuning angle from the measurement angle and scaling the difference by a predetermined constant.

- FIG. 11 is a block diagram depicting physical components that may be used to implement a frequency-tuning subsystem in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.
- An apparatus for frequency tuning in a radio-frequency (RF) generator can provide both stability and rapid tuning if (1) the frequency of the RF generator is adjusted in the correct direction (up or down) at each frequency-adjustment iteration and (2) the frequency step (adjustment in frequency) is made adaptive, such that a large step is applied when the current frequency is far from the target frequency (promotes rapid tuning), and a small step is applied when the current frequency is close to the target frequency (promotes stability).
- the target frequency corresponds to minimum ⁇ (complex reflection coefficient), and, in other embodiments (detuned embodiments), the target frequency corresponds to an intentionally selected ⁇ other than the minimum ⁇ .
- One key to achieving these objectives is to characterize the impedance of the plasma load as a function of generator frequency beforehand. Such characterization can be accomplished through analysis of circuit models, through preliminary testing (measurements), or a combination of these techniques. For example, the impedance of the plasma load can be measured at each of a number of different frequencies over a particular range (e.g., 13 MHz to 14 MHz). Such preliminary characterization can produce an "impedance trajectory" for the load as a function of generator frequency. This impedance trajectory can be expressed in terms of complex reflection coefficient ⁇ , as discussed further below. Once this impedance trajectory is known, it is possible to compute the correct frequency- step direction (positive or negative) and appropriate frequency- step size at each frequency-adjustment iteration, as explained further below.
- plasma processing system 100 includes RF generator 105, which outputs power to a plasma (not shown) in plasma processing chamber 115 directly or indirectly via one or more matching networks 110.
- plasma load is used to mean the plasma in plasma processing chamber 115 in combination with any matching network 110 that might be present, depending on the particular embodiment (some embodiments do not include a matching network 110).
- plasma load refers to the entire load that the output of RF generator 105 drives.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of RF generator 105 in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.
- RF generator 105 includes exciter 205, power amplifier 210, filter 215, sensor 220, and frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- Exciter 205 generates an oscillating signal at RF frequencies, typically in the form of a square wave.
- Power amplifier 210 amplifies the signal produced by exciter 205 to produce an amplified oscillating signal. For example, in one embodiment power amplifier 210 amplifies an exciter output signal of 1 mW to 3 kW.
- Filter 215 filters the amplified oscillating signal to produce a signal composed of a single RF frequency (a sinusoid).
- Sensor 220 measures one or more properties of the plasma load in plasma processing chamber 115.
- sensor 220 measures the impedance Z of the plasma load.
- sensor 220 can be, for example and without limitation, a VI sensor or a directional coupler.
- Such impedance can alternatively be expressed as a complex reflection coefficient, which is often denoted as " ⁇ " (gamma) by those skilled in the art.
- Frequency-tuning subsystem 225 receives impedance measurements from sensor 220 and processes those measurements to produce frequency adjustments that are fed to exciter 205 via frequency control line 230 to adjust the frequency generated by exciter 205. Illustrative frequency-tuning algorithms that are performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225 are discussed in detail below in connection with FIGS. 3-10.
- frequency-tuning subsystem includes load- characterization module 226, characterization data store 227, and frequency- step generator 228.
- Load-characterization module 226 receives or assists in acquiring preliminary load-impedance characterization data associated with a particular plasma load to produce an impedance trajectory (see Element 305 in FIG. 3). The data obtained during load characterization can be stored in characterization data store 227.
- Frequency- step generator 228 performs the computations to generate frequency adjustments (frequency steps) that are fed to exciter 205 via frequency control line 230. Specific illustrative frequency-tuning algorithms performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225 are discussed below in connection with FIGS. 3-10.
- the objective is to adjust the frequency of exciter 205, thereby changing the impedance of the plasma load, in a manner that minimizes ⁇ (i.e., that achieves a ⁇ as close to zero as possible).
- the frequency that achieves this minimum ⁇ may be termed the target frequency.
- an ideal complex reflection coefficient of zero corresponds to a matched condition in which the source and plasma-load impedances are perfectly matched.
- the objective is not minimum ⁇ . Instead, frequency-tuning subsystem 225 intentionally tunes exciter 205 to generate a frequency other than the one that produces minimum ⁇ . Such an embodiment may be termed a "detuned" implementation.
- FIG. 3 is an illustration of a complex-reflection-coefficient ( ⁇ ) plane 300 in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.
- FIG. 3 illustrates concepts relating to the algorithms carried out by frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- complex reflection coefficients ⁇ are plotted within a unit circle.
- ⁇ can also be plotted on a standard Smith Chart.
- the horizontal axis corresponds to the real part of ⁇
- the vertical axis corresponds to the imaginary part of ⁇ .
- FIG. 3 shows a pre-characterized impedance trajectory 305 of the plasma load expressed in terms of ⁇ .
- impedance trajectory 305 can be determined in advance through analysis, testing performed with the aid of load- characterization module 226 via an appropriate user interface, or a combination thereof. Those skilled in the art will recognize that impedance trajectory 305 will not always intersect origin 340, as shown in FIG. 3. In some embodiments, impedance trajectory is shifted such that it does not pass through origin 340, in which case the minimum achievable ⁇ is greater than zero.
- Frequency-step generator 228 of frequency-tuning subsystem 225 also receives, via a suitable user interface, a reference point 315 in ⁇ plane 300.
- reference point 315 is specified in terms of a reference angle 320 and a magnitude (distance of the reference point from origin 340).
- origin 340 corresponds to the point with coordinates (0, 0) at the center of the unit circle in ⁇ plane 300.
- reference point 315 is received in terms of Cartesian coordinates (real part and imaginary part).
- frequency-step generator 228 of frequency-tuning subsystem 225 can determine a reference vector 310.
- Reference vector 310 is a line that passes through reference point 315 and origin 340 of ⁇ plane 300, as indicated in FIG. 3.
- One important function of reference vector 310 is to divide ⁇ plane 300 into two regions, one in which the frequency associated with a measurement point 325 is higher than the optimum frequency (the region in FIG. 3 to the right of reference vector 310) and one in which the frequency associated with a measurement point 325 is lower than the optimum frequency (the region in FIG. 3 to the left of reference vector 310).
- a frequency adjustment in the correct direction positive or negative
- reference vector 310 need not be an axis of symmetry with respect to impedance trajectory 305, as expressed in terms of ⁇ .
- the choice of where to place reference point 315, which in turn determines reference vector 310, is somewhat arbitrary, though a choice should be made that makes possible the calculation of useful measurement angles 330 that support effective frequency tuning. That means choosing a reference point 315 such that the measurement angle 330 decreases as the exciter 205 frequency approaches the target frequency, a measurement angle 330 of zero corresponding to the target frequency.
- Sensor 220 provides frequency-tuning subsystem 225 with frequent measurements of the impedance of the plasma load in plasma processing chamber 115.
- Measurement point 325 in FIG. 3 represents one illustrative impedance measurement on impedance trajectory 305, as expressed in terms of ⁇ (complex reflection coefficient) in ⁇ plane 300.
- Frequency- step generator 228 of frequency-tuning subsystem 225 determines, for measurement point 325, a measurement angle 330 with respect to reference vector 310. This measurement angle 330 is scaled by a predetermined constant of proportionality K (the loop gain) to produce a frequency step (i.e., an amount by which the frequency generated by exciter 205 is to be adjusted).
- the loop gain K is selected based on the frequency resolution of the frequency-tuning algorithm (e.g., 1 kHz vs. 1 Hz), the resolution of the measurement-angle calculations, and the particular impedance characteristics of the plasma load.
- the loop gain K can be different from recipe to recipe, and it can change within a given recipe in accordance with changes in the load impedance, in which case the multiple values of K employed in the recipe can be stored in a lookup table.
- the calculated frequency step is added to the initial or current exciter frequency to produce an adjusted frequency that is closer to the desired or target frequency corresponding to the desired plasma-load impedance.
- Frequency-tuning subsystem 225 then causes exciter 205, via frequency control line 230, to generate a RF signal at the adjusted frequency.
- ⁇ threshold 335 Also shown in FIG. 3 is a ⁇ threshold 335, the function of which will be explained below in connection with FIG. 6.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method 400 for tuning the frequency of a RF generator in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.
- the method shown in FIG. 4 is performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- frequency-tuning subsystem 225 receives, via load-characterization module 226, an impedance trajectory 305 for the plasma load in plasma processing chamber 115.
- impedance trajectory 305 can be expressed in terms of complex reflection coefficient ( ⁇ ), as shown in FIG. 3.
- frequency-step generator 228 of frequency- tuning subsystem 225 receives a reference point 315.
- frequency- step generator 228 receives an impedance measurement for the plasma load from sensor 220.
- frequency- step generator 228 determines a measurement angle 330 for the measurement point 325 corresponding to the received impedance measurement. At Block 425, frequency- step generator 228 then scales measurement angle 330 by a predetermined constant K to compute a frequency step. Note that, as method 400 commences, exciter 205 generates an oscillating RF signal at an initial frequency. At Block 430, frequency- step generator 228 adds the frequency step to the initial frequency generated by exciter 205 to produce an adjusted frequency.
- frequency- tuning subsystem 225 via frequency control line 230, signals exciter 205 to generate an oscillating RF signal at the adjusted frequency, which causes the impedance of the plasma load to change to a value closer to the desired load impedance.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method 500 for tuning the frequency of a RF generator in accordance with another embodiment of this disclosure.
- the method shown in FIG. 5 is performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- Method 500 is similar to method 400, except that, in method 500, the operations performed at Blocks 415, 420, 425, 430, and 435 (frequency tuning) are repeated iteratively in a loop.
- Minimum ⁇ at or very near zero can be achieved as the algorithm converges to the optimum frequency.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a method 600 for tuning the frequency of a RF generator in accordance with yet another embodiment of this disclosure.
- the method shown in FIG. 6 is performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- Method 600 is similar to methods 400 and 500, except that method 600 adds a ⁇ threshold 335 (a value between 0 and 1) for terminating frequency adjustment, once the frequency generated by exciter 205 has reached a value that produces a plasma-load impedance that is deemed sufficiently close to the desired value.
- Method 600 proceeds as in method 500 through Block 435.
- frequency-step generator 228 determines whether ⁇ at the current measurement point 325 is smaller in magnitude than threshold 335 (shown in FIG.
- frequency- step generator 228 terminates exciter 205 frequency adjustments at Block 610. In this situation, the exciter 205 frequency is maintained at its current value, and no further adjustments to the frequency are made. Otherwise, if the magnitude of ⁇ at the current measurement point 325 is greater than or equal to threshold 335, control returns to Block 415, and another iteration of exciter 205 frequency adjustment is performed.
- FIGS. 7-10 introduce another family of embodiments in which the objective is not minimum ⁇ . As mentioned above, these embodiments may be termed a "detuned" implementation. In some implementations, a detuned configuration is chosen to achieve greater frequency stability with a particular plasma load, due to its particular impedance characteristics (impedance trajectory).
- FIG. 7 is an illustration of a complex-reflection-coefficient ( ⁇ ) plane 700 in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure. For clarity, some elements shown in FIG. 3 are not repeated in FIG. 7, but FIGS. 3 and 7 are intended to be used together in connection with the detuned embodiments discussed below.
- Gamma plane 700 like ⁇ plane 300 discussed above, includes an impedance trajectory 305, as expressed in terms of ⁇ , a reference vector 310, a reference point 315, and a reference angle 320. Reference point 315 is received in the same manner explained above in connection with the embodiment in FIG. 3. Detuned embodiments such as that shown in FIG.
- the target frequency of the frequency-tuning algorithm is that corresponding to detune point 710 (i.e., the frequency that results in a load impedance corresponding to detune point 710 in ⁇ plane 700).
- Detune point 710 can be chosen to achieve the desired frequency stability. As explained further below, this detune angle 705 is subtracted from measurement angle 330 (see FIG. 3), and the resulting difference is scaled by a predetermined constant K.
- detune point 710 This causes the frequency tuning algorithm executed by frequency- step generator 228 to converge to a point on impedance trajectory 305 (i.e., detune point 710) other than the minimum- ⁇ point, which is origin 340 (see FIG. 3).
- detuned embodiments can also make use of a ⁇ threshold 720.
- FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a method 800 for tuning the frequency of a RF generator in accordance with an embodiment of this disclosure.
- the method shown in FIG. 8 is performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- Method 800 is similar to method 400, except that, in method 800, frequency-step generator 228 subtracts detune angle 705 from measurement angle 330 at Block 805.
- frequency- step generator 228 scales the resulting difference by a predetermined constant K.
- the remaining operations (Blocks 430 and 435) are the same as in method 400 discussed above in connection with FIG. 4.
- FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a method 900 for tuning the frequency of a RF generator in accordance with another embodiment of this disclosure.
- the method shown in FIG. 9 is performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- Method 900 is similar to method 800, except that, in method 900, the operations performed at Blocks 415, 805, 810, 430, and 435 (frequency tuning) are repeated iteratively in a loop.
- exciter 205 frequency converges at or close to a frequency that produces a plasma-load impedance corresponding to detune point 710 on impedance trajectory 305, as expressed in terms of ⁇ .
- FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a method 1000 for tuning the frequency of a RF generator in accordance with yet another embodiment of this disclosure.
- the method shown in FIG. 10 is performed by frequency-tuning subsystem 225.
- Method 1000 is similar to methods 800 and 900, except that method 1000 adds a ⁇ threshold 720 for terminating frequency adjustment, once the exciter 205 frequency has reached a value that produces a plasma-load impedance that is deemed sufficiently close to that corresponding to detune point 710.
- Method 1000 proceeds as in method 900 through Block 435.
- frequency- step generator 228 determines whether the magnitude of the difference between the current measurement point 325 (expressed in terms of ⁇ , as shown in FIG.
- frequency-tuning subsystem 225 terminates exciter 205 frequency adjustments at Block 1010. Otherwise, control returns to Block 415, and another iteration of exciter 205 frequency adjustment is performed. [0041] In some embodiments, frequency- step generator 228 raises measurement angle
- This technique is one way of providing a frequency step that is relatively small when measurement angle 330 is small and relatively larger when measurement angle 330 is large.
- a frequency step that varies nonlinearly with measurement angle 330 can further improve the performance of frequency-tuning algorithms such as those described in connection with FIGS. 4-6 and 8-10.
