摘要:
Pulsed processing methods and systems for heating objects such as semiconductor substrates feature process control for multi-pulse processing of a single substrate, or single or multi-pulse processing of different substrates having different physical properties. Heat is applied a controllable way to the object during a background heating mode, thereby selectively heating the object to at least generally produce a temperature rise throughout the object during background heating. A first surface of the object is heated in a pulsed heating mode by subjecting it to at least a first pulse of energy. Background heating is controlled in timed relation to the first pulse. A first temperature response of the object to the first energy pulse may be sensed and used to establish at least a second set of pulse parameters for at least a second energy pulse to at least partially produce a target condition.
摘要:
An apparatus accurately measures a temperature of a substrate in a thermal processing chamber. The apparatus has a support structure to support the substrate within the thermal processing chamber. A first probe is provided with an input end positioned to receive radiation from the substrate during thermal processing. A second probe is also provided with an input end positioned to receive radiation from the substrate during thermal processing. The second probe is positioned such that it is angularly offset from the first probe so radiation provided at an output end of the second probe is out of phase with radiation provided at the output end of the first probe. A junction receives and combines radiation from the output ends of the first and second probes. The radiation is combined to provide an accurate representation of the temperature of a local region of the substrate by compensating for a temperature gradient between the support structure and the substrate.
摘要:
A vertically oriented thermal processor for processing batches of semiconductor wafers held within a processing chamber. The processing chamber is contained within a processing vessel. Processing gases are discharged through a processing chamber outflow. An outflow cooler is included to cool gases exhausting from the processing chamber outflow. The outflow cooler includes a fluid heat exchanger and a flow diverter which directs the exhausting gases against cooled walls of the outflow cooler. The cooler also preferably has a liner which lines a casing to which the heat exchanger is connected.
摘要:
A vertical rapid thermal processing (RTP) system (10) is provided, comprising a vertical process chamber (20) extending along a longitudinal axis (X), and a movable platform (32) disposed within the process chamber and having a support surface upon which one or more substrates such as semiconductor wafers (W) may be mounted for processing. A temperature control subsystem (56, 58, 60) establishes a continuous temperature gradient within the vertical process chamber along the longitudinal axis. The temperature control subsystem comprises a plurality of chamber sidewall heating elements (24) located at different vertical positions along the longitudinal axis. Each of the plurality of heating elements is controlled independently of the other of the plurality of heating elements. The plurality of longitudinally oriented heating elements provides an active sidewall heating mechanism which results in a consistent and continuous temperature gradient within the chamber, independent of the position of the wafer within the chamber or the number of wafers which have been processed.
摘要:
A showerhead for use with a lamp head in a thermal processing chamber, the lamp head including a high intensity source which emits radiation that heats a substrate within the chamber, the showerhead including a top window on a side of the showerhead that is adjacent to the lamp head; a bottom window on a side of the showerhead that is adjacent to the substrate during processing; and a gas supply inlet through which a gas is introduced into a space between the top and bottom windows, wherein the top and bottom windows are transparent to the radiation from the source in the lamp head and wherein the bottom window includes a plurality of gas distribution holes through which gas is injected from the space between the top and bottom windows into the chamber.
摘要:
A RTP system and method. A first lamp zone (108) is located around a periphery of a wafer (102) for heating the center of the wafer (102) and a second lamp zone (114) is located around the periphery of the wafer (102) for heating the edge of the wafer (102). The chamber (104) includes highly reflective surfaces (106). Light from the first and second lamp zones (108, 114) is reflected off of the highly reflective surfaces (106) at least three time before reaching the wafer (102). Thus, the wafer (102) is isotropically heated and uniform wafer heating is achieved.
摘要:
A rapid thermal heating apparatus in which lamps are disposed in a plurality of light pipes arranged to illuminate and supply heat to a substrate. The light pipes are positioned so that the illumination patterns overlap. The energy supplied to the lamps is controlled to provide a predetermined heating pattern to the substrate. A liquid cooled window cooperates with the light pipes to transmit energy to a wafer disposed in an evacuated chamber.
摘要:
A novel rapid thermal process (RTP) reactor processes a multiplicity of wafers or a single large wafer, e.g., 200 mm (8 inches), 250 mm (10 inches), 300 mm (12 inches) diameter wafers, using either a single or dual heat source. The wafers or wafer are mounted on a rotatable susceptor supported by a susceptor support. A susceptor position control rotates the wafers during processing and raises and lowers the susceptor to various positions for loading and processing of wafers. A heat controller controls either a single heat source or a dual heat source that heats the wafers to a substantially uniform temperature during processing. A gas flow controller regulates flow of gases into the reaction chamber. Instead of the second heat source, a passive heat distribution is used, in one embodiment, to achieve a substantially uniform temperature throughout the wafers. Further, a novel susceptor is used that includes a silicon carbide cloth enclosed in quartz.
