The method of the duty of the change-over valve of monitoring deposition apparatus in real time
Technical field
The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing facility technical field, in particular it relates to a kind of monitoring in real time
The method of the duty of the change-over valve of deposition apparatus.
Background technology
In current semiconductor technology, all Pyrex (BSG), phosphorosilicate glass (PSG) and boron phosphorus silicon
Glass (BPSG) technique, before deposit thin film, all can need the gas used when the back of deposit is by reaction
Body carries out pre-stream in advance, so that keep stablizing of technique the initial of deposit.Due to flowing in advance when, gas
Body is just the same with the when of deposit, therefore to prevent gas from reacting in advance, can pass through a change-over valve
These gases are directly got around process cavity, is directly pumped away.Owing to the pressure of process cavity now is by saving
Stream valve automatically controls, and technique is under the pressure of hundreds of torr (torr) is carried out, so once this reversal valve
There is problem in door, process gas will be caused to flow into cavity, and equipment (board) cannot detect in time, causes being formed sediment
Long-pending film quality goes wrong.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved is to provide the work of the change-over valve of a kind of real-time monitoring deposition apparatus
The method of state, it is possible to find in time when change-over valve generation problem, improves the stability of technique and thus reduces
The yield loss caused.
For solving above-mentioned technical problem, the present invention provides the work of the change-over valve of a kind of real-time monitoring deposition apparatus
The method of state, including step:
Before the step of depositing technics, the pressure in the process cavity of described deposition apparatus is evacuated to base pressure, and will
Its choke valve completely closes;
The pre-helium flowing big flow also directly gets around described process cavity by described change-over valve, and described helium is straight
Connect and be pumped away;
The pressure detecting system of described deposition apparatus detects the pressure in described process cavity;If described pressure is compared
There is the situation steeply risen in described base pressure, then assert that described change-over valve has problems, otherwise assert described commutation
Valve state is normal.
Alternatively, the pressure limit in described base pressure refers to described process cavity is 0~30 millitorrs.
Alternatively, the helium of described big flow refers to that the flow of described helium is at more than 3000sccm.
Alternatively, the situation steeply risen described in refers to that, within the detection time of described pressure, described pressure is from institute
State base pressure and rise to hundreds of millitorr.
Alternatively, the described detection time is 3 seconds.
Alternatively, described deposition apparatus is the deposition apparatus serial for CENTURA of company of Applied Materials.
Alternatively, described deposition apparatus system PSG, BSG and/or BPSG's in back segment interconnection process is thin
Film depositing technics.
Alternatively, described method can be integrated among the menu of whole depositing technics, in every wafer
Perform one time before the step of described depositing technics.
Compared with prior art, the invention have the advantages that
1. the step that the method increases the most only needs short several seconds (such as 3 seconds), so to production capacity almost
Not impact.
2. the wafer that can will appear from exception and scrap controls at 1, substantially increases yield.
3. improvements introduced is without increasing other parts of appliance, and cost is the lowest.
Sum it up, the method for the present invention can be integrated among whole process menu, deposit work each time
Can detect before the execution of skill one time, thus reach to monitor in real time the duty of change-over valve, and at this
Can find in time during change-over valve generation problem, improve the stability of technique, decrease the yield thereby resulted in and damage
Lose.
Accompanying drawing explanation
The above and other features of the present invention, character and advantage will be by below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiment
Description and become readily apparent from, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the method for the duty of the change-over valve of the deposition apparatus of monitoring in real time of one embodiment of the invention
Schematic flow sheet.
Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the drawings, the invention will be further described, elaborates in the following description
More details so that fully understanding the present invention, but the present invention obviously can be different from that this describes with multiple its
Its mode is implemented, those skilled in the art can in the case of intension of the present invention according to reality application feelings
Condition is made similar popularization, is deduced, the most should be with content constraints protection scope of the present invention of this specific embodiment.
Fig. 1 is the method for the duty of the change-over valve of the deposition apparatus of monitoring in real time of one embodiment of the invention
Schematic flow sheet.This deposition apparatus can be the deposition apparatus of the CENTURA series of company of Applied Materials,
May be used for the film deposition art of PSG, BSG and/or BPSG in back segment interconnection process.As it is shown in figure 1,
This monitoring method can mainly comprise the steps:
Step S101 is first carried out, by the pressure in the process cavity of deposition apparatus before the step of depositing technics
It is evacuated to base pressure, and its choke valve is completely closed.
In the present embodiment, the pressure limit in this base pressure refers to process cavity is 0~30 millitorrs (mtorr).
Then performing step S102, the pre-helium flowing big flow also directly gets around process cavity by change-over valve,
Helium is directly pumped away.
In the present embodiment, the helium of this big flow refer to the flow of helium at least at more than 3000sccm, such as
4000sccm, 5000sccm, the peak of this flow is limited by the structure of deposition apparatus.
Finally perform step S103, the pressure in the pressure detecting system characterization processes cavity of deposition apparatus.Now,
If pressure has the situation steeply risen compared to base pressure, then assert change-over valve existing problems, otherwise assert reversal valve
Door state is normal.
In the present embodiment, this situation steeply risen may refer within the detection time of pressure, and for example, 3
Second, the pressure in process cavity rises to hundreds of millitorr from base pressure.
The method of the present invention can be integrated among the menu of whole depositing technics, in the shallow lake of every wafer
Perform one time before the step of long-pending technique.Owing under normal circumstances, this process cavity is at vacuum (pressure is 0)
Under, do not interfere with follow-up state of the art in this approach, follow-up deposit is not resulted in any impact yet.
In sum, compared with prior art, the invention have the advantages that
1. the step that the method increases the most only needs short several seconds (such as 3 seconds), so to production capacity almost
Not impact.
2. the wafer that can will appear from exception and scrap controls at 1, substantially increases yield.
3. improvements introduced is without increasing other parts of appliance, and cost is the lowest.
Sum it up, the method for the present invention can be integrated among whole process menu, deposit work each time
Can detect before the execution of skill one time, thus reach to monitor in real time the duty of change-over valve, and at this
Can find in time during change-over valve generation problem, improve the stability of technique, decrease the yield thereby resulted in and damage
Lose.
Although the present invention is open as above with preferred embodiment, but it is not for limiting the present invention, any ability
Field technique personnel without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can make possible variation and amendment.Therefore,
Every content without departing from technical solution of the present invention, according to appointing that above example is made by the technical spirit of the present invention
What amendment, equivalent variations and modification, within each falling within the protection domain that the claims in the present invention are defined.
