- the wafer carrier device involved in the related art opens the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet at the edge of the base.
- the wafer carrier device needs to have a consistent temperature in the circumferential direction when in use, and when the refrigerant enters the refrigerant channel from the refrigerant inlet, its own pressure will impact the inner wall of the refrigerant channel, thereby causing the heat transfer efficiency at the refrigerant inlet position to be significantly higher, thereby forming a local low temperature area. Since the refrigerant inlet is located on a circumference with a larger radial dimension, the heat of other areas on the same circumference cannot be transferred in time due to the long distance, and it is easier to form a larger temperature gradient, and ultimately the temperature consistency of the wafer carrier device in the circumferential direction cannot be met.

- the present application discloses a wafer carrying device, which includes a base 100 , a feeding unit 210 , and a first adapter 300 .
- the base 100 is a component in the wafer carrier that assists in temperature control by cooling.
- the base 100 is provided with a refrigerant channel 110, and the refrigerant channel 110 is used for passing a refrigerant (such as cooling water, cooling oil, etc.).
- the refrigerant will exchange heat with the base 100 during the process of flowing through the refrigerant channel 110, thereby adjusting the uniformity of the temperature of the base 100.
- the refrigerant channel 110 has a refrigerant inlet 111 and a refrigerant outlet 112. In the specific working process, the refrigerant enters the refrigerant channel 110 from the refrigerant inlet 111, and after flowing through other areas of the refrigerant channel 110, it flows out from the refrigerant outlet 112.
- the base 100 also plays a role in receiving radio frequency current to play a preset function.
- the first adapter 300 is a conductive member, which is used at least for performing the feeding adapter function.
- the first adapter 300 is provided with a central hole 311 and an annular electrical connection surface 312, and the annular electrical connection surface 312 is arranged around the central hole 311.
- the end of the feeding part 210 is inserted into the central hole 311 and is electrically connected to the first adapter 300, thereby realizing the input of radio frequency.
- the base 100 is electrically connected to the annular electrical connection surface 312 , so as to receive the radio frequency input by the feeding portion 210 , thereby completing the input of the radio frequency to the base 100 .
- the central axis of the base 100 is relatively close to the central axis of the first adapter 300, and can even overlap.
- the annular electrical connection surface 312 is disposed around the central axis of the first adapter 300, and thus the annular electrical connection surface 312 can be considered to be disposed around the central axis of the base 100.
- the position of the base 100 electrically connected to the annular electrical connection surface 312 is not the center of the base 100.
- the RF is input from the end of the feeding part 210 to the hole wall of the central hole 311 of the first adapter 300, and then transmitted from the hole wall of the central hole 311 to the annular electrical connection surface 312 of the first adapter 300, and finally input to the edge of the base 100 through the annular electrical connection surface 312.
- the wafer carrier device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application inputs the RF from a non-central position of the base 100.
- radio frequency is a high-frequency alternating current (sine wave), and there is a phase difference at different positions within a wavelength. Therefore, there is often a phase difference at different positions in the radio frequency loop, so there are currents and voltages of different sizes.
- positions on the base 100 that are different distances from the radio frequency feeding part have different currents and voltages after the radio frequency is turned on, and therefore have different electric field strengths, and the ability to attract plasma in the process cavity of the semiconductor process equipment is also different, which leads to different plasma energies above the wafer support device, thereby affecting the etching uniformity.
- the radio frequency frequencies commonly used in semiconductor process equipment are 12.65MHz or 2MHz, and the corresponding wavelengths are approximately 22m and 150m. Regardless of whether the radio frequency is input from the center of the base 100 or from the edge of the base 100, its propagation distance on the base 100 is approximately the length of the radius of the base 100.
- the radius of the base 100 is usually 0.15m-0.17m. Taking the 13.56MHz radio frequency with a shorter wavelength as an example, the ratio of the radius of the base 100 to the wavelength is about 0.007. Therefore, the maximum electric field strength difference of the base 100 is within 1%. It can be concluded that although the radio frequency input point (feeding point) on the base 100 has changed, the impact on the plasma in the process cavity of the semiconductor process equipment can be ignored.
- the wafer carrier disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is improved on the wafer carrier of the related art, and the radio frequency feeding part is transferred from the center of the base 100 to other parts of the base 100, and the impact on the process parameters of the semiconductor process equipment can be ignored.
