Description of the drawings
Fig. 1 is prior art plasma processor schematic diagram;
Fig. 2 is the present invention plus gas tip structure schematic diagram.
Specific implementation mode
It is illustrated in figure 2 gas tip schematic diagram of the present invention, the present invention is specific similar compared with the prior art shown in FIG. 1 As reaction cavity basic structure, the main distinction is filling 114 and set to be integrated into prior art optical detection and being located at for the present invention In the gas tip 90 ' of insulating materials window center.Gas tip 90 ' of the present invention includes gas diffusion chamber 91, on gas diffusion chamber Side includes head cover 92, includes a through-hole at the top of head cover, optical emitting and reception device 93, while head cover 92 are provided in through-hole Side wall further includes an admission line 94, and reaction gas flows into head cover and lower section diffusion chamber 91 by admission line 94.Gas expands Dissipate 91 side wall of chamber and bottom surface include it is multiple run through gas passage 96, by multiple gas passages by the reaction in gas diffusion chamber 91 Gas is uniformly spurted into plasm reaction cavity.Due to being all plasma around and under gas tip 90 ', it is passed through Reaction gas in gas diffusion chamber 91 is also easy to be ignited, in the diffusion chamber for the plasma meeting etchant gas nozzle lighted Wall, while decomposition product can also be deposited on inner wall and bottom blocking channel 96.Plasma diffusion is into gas diffusion in order to prevent The bore of chamber, all gas passages 96 needs to be less than 5mm, and such charged particle can be collided in crossing process neutralizing canal side wall And extinguish.Gas tip needs the material such as aluminium oxide using resistant to plasma corrosion simultaneously, and surface can also be coated more resistant to corrosion The material layers such as yttrium oxide, to improve the service life of gas tip.Such gas diffusion chamber side wall and bottom are impermeable Bright cannot achieve penetrating for optical signal.Through-hole of multiple bores less than 5mm is opened up on opaque material can not penetrate enough Light(Light transmittance is less than 20%), so being not used to the etching speed detection of the present invention.The present invention is set in diffusion chamber bottom centre It sets there are one the opening being recessed upwards, open top includes that transparent air inlet piece 95, air inlet piece made of a piece of transparent material are relatively thin Thickness only has(1-4mm), can be made of the high material of the light transmittances such as silica.It is

the transparent materials such as silica of top, and the thin layer formed below 95a Resistant to plasma material layer 95b, 95b material layer thickness it is best need to be less than 50um to ensure transparency.Resistant to plasma material Bed of material 95b can be by spraying or chemical vapor deposition(CVD)Or physical vapour deposition (PVD)(PVD)Etc. modes in substrate Resistant to plasma corrosion thin layer is formed on 95a.Since 95b material layers are very thin so will not be made to the whole light transmittance of air inlet piece 95 At seriously affecting, optical measurement function of the present invention can be realized effectively.95b material layers can be the materials such as yttrium oxide or aluminium oxide Made of material, belong to common materials in the industry, details are not described herein.
Optical emitting and reception device 93 emit reference light vertically downward in the present invention, sequentially pass through under transparent air inlet piece 95 The plasma of side reaches pending 122 upper surface of substrate.During plasma etching, pending substrate upper surface etches shape At figure change in size can occur, so phase change can also occur for the reflected light on surface.The part reference light reflected upwards Into after optical emitting and reception device 93, by the processing of signal processor, the reference light of transmitting and reflection is compared into energy Detect the etching depth of underlying substrate.But in addition to underlying substrate 112 can reflect, the upper and lower surface of transparent air inlet piece 95 The optics that a large amount of light that can be reflected, and reflect also are to revert to top occurs to work as interference with reception device 93, formation interference Optical system can be caused to fail when the intensity of light and the close or even stronger intensity of underlying substrate reflected light.Thus in the present invention Transparent air inlet piece 95 can be it is inclined be arranged in recessed openings, inclined angle is not very big, can be and level side It is more than 2 degree to angle and is less than 10 degree, had both can guarantee the reflected light back of air inlet on piece to the inner wall of gas diffusion chamber 91, warp in this way The overwhelming majority that will not be repeatedly formed after refraction in the reference light that also can guarantee top incidence compared with strong jamming light can pass through transparent Air inlet piece reaches underlying substrate.
