Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a first method for controlling the temperature of a CVD reactor according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applicable to adjusting the temperature in the CVD reactor, and the method may be performed by a temperature control system of the CVD reactor according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the temperature control system of the CVD reactor may be implemented in hardware and/or software. As shown in fig. 1, the temperature control method of the CVD reactor includes:
S101, acquiring the current top temperature, the preset top average temperature, the current bottom average temperature of a substrate carrying platform and the substrate accommodating quantity of the CVD reactor of each substrate in the CVD reactor, and the current component coefficient of each heat transfer gas corresponding to each substrate.
The CVD reactor can deposit a thin film on the surface of a semiconductor substrate such as a substrate, including a wafer. The current top temperature of each substrate represents the current temperature of the top of each substrate or the current temperature of the upper surface of each substrate, the current bottom average temperature of the substrate carrier represents the current temperature of the bottom of the substrate carrier, the preset top average temperature of each substrate represents the preset average temperature of the top of each substrate, and the substrate accommodation quantity of the CVD reactor represents the quantity of substrates which can be accommodated in the CVD reactor.
In order to control the temperature of the substrate, an air flow gap is generally provided between a substrate stage on which the substrate is placed and the substrate, and the temperature of the substrate is adjusted by adjusting the heat conduction degree of the heat transfer gas located in the air flow gap. The heat transfer gas includes hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, argon, or the like, and may be set according to actual needs, and is not particularly limited herein.
Specifically, when the CVD reactor is operated, the CVD reactor includes one or more substrates therein, and the temperature of each substrate in the radial direction affects the deposition of the thin film. Since the temperature of the heat source of the CVD reactor is transferred from the bottom of the substrate to the substrate, parameters related to the temperature of the substrate can be obtained to adjust the current temperature of the substrate. The current top temperature of each substrate can be obtained by a temperature measuring device such as a temperature sensor or the like located on the upper surface side of the substrate. The current bottom average temperature of the substrate stage can be obtained by a temperature measuring device such as a temperature sensor positioned on the lower surface side of the substrate stage. The preset top average temperature may be a temperature value preset by a worker according to actual manufacturing requirements of the substrate. After the preparation of the CVD reactor is completed, the substrate accommodation amount of the CVD reactor is determined, and the substrate accommodation amount of the CVD reactor may be obtained by a nameplate or the like of the CVD reactor. The current composition coefficient of each heat transfer gas corresponding to each substrate, which represents the ratio of the intake air amount of each heat transfer gas, may be obtained by an apparatus for supplying a heat transfer gas in a CVD reactor.

Wherein the bottom heating temperature of the substrate carrier means the temperature that needs to be provided for the bottom of the substrate carrier.
Specifically, the current average temperature of the top of the substrate may be calculated based on the respective current top temperatures and the number of substrate receptacles in the CVD reactor. And calculating the difference between the preset top average temperature and the current average temperature of the top of the substrate to obtain the current top temperature difference. The bottom heating temperature of the substrate is related to the current top temperature difference and the current bottom average temperature of the substrate stage, the current top temperature difference and the current bottom average temperature of the substrate stage can be substituted into a calculation formula of the bottom heating temperature to calculate so as to determine the bottom heating temperature, and then a heat source providing device in the CVD reactor is controlled to heat the substrate stage at the bottom heating temperature so as to control the bottom temperature and the top temperature of the substrate, and further the overall temperature of the substrate is adjusted. When a plurality of CVD reactors are adopted to prepare the same film for a plurality of semiconductor substrates at the same time, the consistency of the reaction temperature in each CVD reactor can be improved by adopting the method, so that the consistency of the prepared film is improved, and the preparation reliability of the CVD reactors is improved.

The adjustment component coefficient of the heat transfer gas represents the proportion of the air inflow of the heat transfer gas to the total air inflow of the total heat transfer gas after the heat transfer gas is adjusted. The heat energy provided by the heat source providing equipment can be transmitted to the substrate by each heat transfer gas positioned at the bottom of the same substrate, and when the component coefficients of the heat transfer gases are different, the heat conduction performance of the heat transfer gases is different, and the heat conduction effect of the mixed gas formed by the heat transfer gases is also different.
Specifically, the top temperature of the substrate is controlled by controlling the heating source providing device in the CVD reactor to heat at the bottom heating temperature, but this way only rough adjustments of the temperature of the substrate surface are made, i.e. the current top temperature of the substrate surface still has a certain difference from the preset top average temperature. The current average temperature of the top of the substrate can be obtained by calculation according to the current top temperature of each substrate and the substrate accommodating quantity of the CVD reactor, when the difference between the current average temperature of the top of the substrate and the preset top average temperature is small, the current top temperature, the current bottom average temperature and the preset top average temperature can be substituted into the calculation formula of the adjustment component coefficient to calculate according to the calculation formula of the adjustment component coefficient, and the adjustment component coefficient of each heat transfer gas can be obtained. Therefore, the heat transfer performance of the heat transfer gas corresponding to each substrate is adjusted to reduce the temperature difference at the top of different substrates, so that the overall temperature difference of the substrates is reduced, and the consistency and reliability of the CVD reactor for preparing the same film on the surfaces of different substrates are improved.
According to the technical scheme, the current top temperature, the preset top average temperature, the current bottom average temperature of the substrate carrying platform and the substrate containing quantity of the CVD reactor in the CVD reactor and the current component coefficients of the heat transfer gases corresponding to the substrates are obtained, so that the bottom heating temperature required by the average temperature of the top of the substrate to reach the preset top average temperature is determined according to the current top temperature, the preset top average temperature, the current bottom average temperature and the substrate containing quantity of the CVD reactor, the CVD reactor is controlled to heat the substrate carrying platform by the bottom heating temperature, the temperature of the bottom of the substrate is adjusted, the temperature of the top of the substrate is adjusted, the difference between the average temperature of the top of the substrate and the preset top average temperature is reduced, the average temperature difference of the top of the substrate in different CVD reactors is reduced, the control precision of the CVD reactor on the temperature of the substrate is improved, and the consistency and the reliability of the semiconductor film layer prepared by different CVD reactors are improved. And then determining the adjusting component coefficients of the heat transfer gases corresponding to the substrates according to the preset top average temperature, the current top temperature, the substrate accommodating quantity of the CVD reactor, the current bottom average temperature and the current component coefficients of the substrates, controlling the CVD reactor to adjust the component coefficients of the heat transfer gases according to the adjusting component coefficients, enabling the current top temperature of the substrates to be closer to the preset top average temperature, further reducing the temperature difference of the tops of the substrates in the CVD reactor, and improving the film preparation consistency of the CVD reactor to the substrates.
On the basis of the above-described embodiments, the present embodiment describes a case where the bottom heating temperature of the substrate stage is determined based on each of the current top temperature, the preset top average temperature, the current bottom average temperature, and the substrate accommodation number of the CVD reactor. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a second method for controlling the temperature of a CVD reactor according to an embodiment of the invention, where, as shown in fig. 2, the method for controlling the temperature of the CVD reactor includes:
s201, acquiring the current top temperature, the preset top average temperature, the current bottom average temperature of a substrate carrying platform and the substrate accommodating quantity of the CVD reactor of each substrate in the CVD reactor, and the current component coefficient of each heat transfer gas corresponding to each substrate.
S202, determining the current top average temperature according to each current top temperature and the substrate accommodating quantity of the CVD reactor.
Specifically, the ratio of the sum of the respective current top temperatures to the number of substrates held in the CVD reactor is taken as the current top average temperature. Illustratively, the CVD reactor has a substrate holding number of 5, a current top temperature of the first substrate of t1, a current top temperature of the second substrate of t2, a current top temperature of the third substrate of t3, a current top temperature of the fourth substrate of t4, and a current top temperature of the fifth substrate of t5, the current top average temperature is (t1+t2+t3+t4+t5)/5.
S203, determining the bottom heating temperature of the substrate carrier according to the current top average temperature, the preset top average temperature and the current bottom average temperature.
Specifically, the bottom heating temperature is related to the current top average temperature, the preset top average temperature and the current bottom average temperature, and the current top average temperature, the preset top average temperature and the current bottom average temperature can be substituted into a calculation formula of the bottom heating temperature to calculate the bottom heating temperature. The calculation formula of the bottom heating temperature may be obtained by a plurality of experiments or the like, and is not particularly limited herein.
In an alternative embodiment, determining the bottom heating temperature of the substrate carrier based on the current top average temperature, the preset top average temperature, and the current bottom average temperature includes determining a current top temperature difference based on the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature, and determining the bottom heating temperature based on the current top temperature difference and the current bottom average temperature.
The current top temperature difference value represents the difference degree between the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature. The larger the absolute value of the current top temperature difference value is, the larger the difference degree between the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature is, and the smaller the absolute value of the current top temperature difference value is, the smaller the difference degree between the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature is.
Specifically, a difference between the preset top average temperature and the current top average temperature is calculated, and the difference is used as the current top temperature difference. The bottom heating temperature may affect the top temperature of the substrate, and the desired bottom heating temperature may be determined based on the correspondence between the bottom heating temperature and the current top temperature difference and the current bottom average temperature. Optionally, the calculation formula of the bottom heating temperature is t30_t3=f×Δt0, where Δt0=t20_t2, Δt0 is the current top temperature difference, T20 is the preset top average temperature, T2 is the current top average temperature, T30 is the bottom heating temperature, T3 is the current bottom average temperature, and f is a fixed value. The fixed value f is related to the operation state of the CVD reactor, and the like, and when the CVD reactor is in an operation state where a certain process condition is fixed, for example, the current top average temperature T2 in the CVD reactor is 800 ℃, the current bottom average temperature T3 is 1000 ℃, the preset top average temperature T20 is 900 ℃, the heat source providing device is controlled to heat the substrate carrier at different heating temperatures, and when the heating temperature provided by the heat source providing device is 1100 ℃, the current top average temperature in the CVD reactor reaches 900 ℃, and then the ratio 1 of (1100-1000)/(900-800) is taken as the fixed value f. The fixed value f under different process conditions is different and can be set according to actual needs, and is not particularly limited herein.

According to the technical scheme, the current top average temperature is determined according to the current top temperature and the substrate accommodating quantity of the CVD reactors, and the bottom heating temperature of the substrate is determined according to the current top average temperature, the preset top average temperature and the current bottom average temperature, so that the CVD reactors are controlled to heat the substrate carrier by the bottom heating temperature, the difference between the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature of the substrate is reduced, the consistency of the top temperatures in the CVD reactors with the same process conditions is improved, the consistency of the prepared film is further improved, and the preparation reliability of the CVD reactors is improved.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention describes the case of determining the adjustment component coefficients of each heat transfer gas corresponding to each substrate according to the preset top average temperature of each substrate, the current top temperature, the substrate accommodation number of the CVD reactor, the current bottom average temperature and each current component coefficient, and fig. 3 is a flowchart of a temperature control method of a third CVD reactor provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the temperature control method of the CVD reactor includes:

The absolute value of the difference between the preset top average temperature and the current top average temperature represents a value obtained by taking the absolute value of the difference between the preset top average temperature and the current top average temperature. The preset difference may be set according to actual needs, and exemplary, the preset top average temperature is 900 ℃, and the preset difference is 30 ℃, or may be other, which is not limited herein specifically.
Specifically, if the absolute value of the difference between the preset top average temperature and the current top average temperature is greater than the preset difference, it is indicated that the degree of difference between the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature is greater, at this time, determining the bottom heating temperature of the substrate stage according to each of the current top temperature, the preset top average temperature, the current bottom average temperature of the substrate stage, and the substrate accommodation number of the CVD reactor may be performed back, and controlling the CVD reactor to heat the substrate stage with the bottom heating temperature, so as to reduce the degree of difference between the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature until the absolute value of the difference between the preset top average temperature and the current top average temperature is less than or equal to the preset difference.

Specifically, if the absolute value of the difference between the preset top average temperature and the current top average temperature is smaller than or equal to the preset difference, it is indicated that the difference between the preset top average temperature and the current top average temperature is smaller, at this time, the heat source providing device in the CVD reactor may be controlled to heat the substrate carrier with the current bottom heating temperature, so that the difference between the current top average temperature and the preset top average temperature is kept in a smaller difference state, and the component coefficients of each heat transfer gas located below the substrate are adjusted to adjust the heat conduction coefficient of the mixed gas composed of the heat transfer gas, so as to adjust the heat transfer efficiency of the substrate carrier to the substrate, further reduce the difference between the current top temperature and the preset top average temperature, and improve the consistency and reliability of the substrate film prepared by the CVD reactor.
