Description

多腔室半導體製程系統Multi-chamber semiconductor process system

本發明係與半導體製程系統有關,特別是有關於一種多腔室半導體製程系統。The present invention relates to a semiconductor process system, and more particularly to a multi-chamber semiconductor process system.

真空技術在半導體工業中扮演重要的角色,例如濺鍍、微影及蝕刻等製程皆需於真空腔體中進行,藉以減少氣體分子對試片加工之影響,有效確保生產品質。Vacuum technology plays an important role in the semiconductor industry. For example, processes such as sputtering, lithography and etching must be performed in a vacuum chamber to reduce the impact of gas molecules on sample processing and effectively ensure product quality.

於半導體製程中,一般會將多種製程儀器分別連接於一傳輸室,並於該傳輸室設置至少一機械手臂以於多個製程室及存放空間之間進行晶圓的傳遞,以達到自動化製程、提高生產效率之效果。然而,該些製程儀器係各自獨立的落地式裝置,若規格相異時易有組裝不便、穩定性不佳之疑慮,且該些製程儀器與該傳輸室組裝後不便於移動。此外,此類真空系統具有體積大、建構成本高等缺點,於小批量生產或研發測試階段中易造成成本之浪費,且製造時間長,生產效益不佳。In semiconductor manufacturing, generally, multiple process instruments are connected to a transfer chamber, and at least one robot is installed in the transfer chamber to transfer wafers between multiple process chambers and storage spaces, so as to achieve the effect of automating the process and improving production efficiency. However, these process instruments are independent floor-standing devices. If the specifications are different, it is easy to have inconvenient assembly and poor stability. Moreover, these process instruments and the transfer chamber are not easy to move after assembly. In addition, this type of vacuum system has the disadvantages of large size and high construction cost, which is easy to cause cost waste in small-batch production or R&D testing stages, and the manufacturing time is long, and the production efficiency is poor.

因此,有必要提供一種新穎且具有進步性之多腔室半導體製程系統,以解決上述之問題。Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and advanced multi-chamber semiconductor process system to solve the above-mentioned problems.
