本發明主張在2023年3月3日在中國提交的中國專利申請No.202310197983.1的優先權,其全部內容藉由引用包含於此。This invention claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310197983.1 filed in China on March 3, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

本發明關於半導體矽片生産領域,尤其關於一種用於相對於基座校準矽片的位置的裝置、方法及外延設備。The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor silicon wafer production, and more particularly to a device, method and epitaxial equipment for calibrating the position of a silicon wafer relative to a base.

矽片的生産通常需要經過拉晶、成型、拋光、清洗、外延(又稱磊晶)等流程,以用作儲存晶片、功率器件等。隨著積體電路行業的飛速發展,對外延矽片的要求也越來越高,比如外延層的厚度、平坦度、電阻率及表面顆粒污染等方面。The production of silicon wafers usually requires processes such as crystal pulling, forming, polishing, cleaning, and epitaxy (also known as epitaxy) to be used as storage chips, power devices, etc. With the rapid development of the integrated circuit industry, the requirements for epitaxial silicon wafers are becoming higher and higher, such as the thickness, flatness, resistivity and surface particle contamination of the epitaxial layer.

在外延設備中,前端模組內的傳輸葉片將矽片從裝載端口傳輸至負載鎖定單元,負載鎖定單元進行抽真空並回填氮氣。位於傳輸單元內的傳送機械手將負載鎖定單元內的矽片傳入製程反應腔室內進行外延生長,生長完成後得到的外延矽片再沿原路返回。In the epitaxial growth equipment, the transfer blades in the front-end module transfer the silicon wafer from the loading port to the load lock unit, which is evacuated and backfilled with nitrogen. The transfer robot in the transfer unit transfers the silicon wafer in the load lock unit into the process reaction chamber for epitaxial growth. After the growth is completed, the epitaxial silicon wafer is returned along the original route.

重摻外延片和輕摻外延片由於原子密度不同,所以矽片邊緣在外延爐反應腔由於高溫發生應力形變的大小不同。如果不能及時調整矽片在基座上的位置或者當機械手傳送矽片進製程反應腔的位置不正確時,會對外延層的厚度、平坦度、電阻率造成不利影響,另外如果矽片外邊緣與基座發生接觸的話,會導致外延生長之後外延矽片邊緣部分出現污染顆粒聚集現象,影響外延矽片良率。Since the atomic density of heavily doped epitaxial wafers and lightly doped epitaxial wafers is different, the stress deformation of the edge of the silicon wafer in the reaction chamber of the epitaxial furnace due to high temperature is different. If the position of the silicon wafer on the base cannot be adjusted in time or the position of the robot transferring the silicon wafer into the process reaction chamber is incorrect, it will have an adverse effect on the thickness, flatness and resistivity of the epitaxial layer. In addition, if the outer edge of the silicon wafer contacts the base, it will cause the edge of the epitaxial silicon wafer to gather contaminated particles after epitaxial growth, affecting the yield of the epitaxial silicon wafer.

因此,相對於外延設備的基座對矽片的位置進行校準以使矽片處於所期望的位置處是重要的。但是,在目前的矽片位置校準方法中,是藉由在設備停産狀態下人工目視手動校準,其效率低下,精準性差,而且存在耗時、影響正常生産的問題。Therefore, it is important to calibrate the position of the silicon wafer relative to the base of the epitaxial equipment so that the silicon wafer is at the desired position. However, in the current silicon wafer position calibration method, it is manually calibrated by visual inspection when the equipment is stopped, which is inefficient, has poor accuracy, is time-consuming, and affects normal production.

為解决上述技術問題,本發明實施例期望提供一種用於相對於基座校準矽片的位置的裝置、方法及外延設備,能夠以簡單便捷的方式實現矽片的自動化校準,由此提高生産效率及校準精度。To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present invention hope to provide a device, method and epitaxial equipment for calibrating the position of a silicon wafer relative to a base, which can realize automatic calibration of the silicon wafer in a simple and convenient manner, thereby improving production efficiency and calibration accuracy.

下面將結合本發明實施例中的圖式,對本發明實施例中的技術方案進行清楚、完整地描述。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

參見圖1,本發明實施例提供了一種用於相對於基座20校準矽片W的位置的裝置10,所述裝置10可以包括:Referring to FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a device 10 for calibrating the position of a silicon wafer W relative to a base 20. The device 10 may include:

測量單元100,所述測量單元100用於測量所述基座20的周緣20E與所述矽片W的周緣WE之間在所述基座20的第一直徑20D1上的第一間距L1和第二間距L2以及在所述基座20的第二直徑20D2上的第三間距L3和第四間距L4,其中,所述第一直徑20D1和所述第二直徑20D2彼此垂直;A measuring unit 100, the measuring unit 100 is used to measure a first distance L1 and a second distance L2 between a periphery 20E of the base 20 and a periphery WE of the silicon wafer W on a first diameter 20D1 of the base 20, and a third distance L3 and a fourth distance L4 on a second diameter 20D2 of the base 20, wherein the first diameter 20D1 and the second diameter 20D2 are perpendicular to each other;

第一獲取單元200,所述第一獲取單元200用於基於所述第一間距L1和所述第二間距L2以及當所述矽片W相對於所述基座20處於如在圖1示出的示例中藉由虛線示出的基準位置時所述基座20的周緣20E與所述矽片W的周緣WE之間在所述第一直徑20D1上的第一基準間距SL1和第二基準間距SL2獲取第一移動方向MD1和第一移動距離ML1,所述第一移動方向MD1和所述第一移動距離ML1用於使所述矽片W藉由在所述第一直徑20D1的方向上移動而在所述第二直徑20D2的方向上與所述基準位置對準,具體地,在圖1示出的示例中,由於當矽片W沿著第二直徑20D2的方向移動時,第二間距L2與第一間距L1之間的差值是不變的,因此可以得出第一移動距離ML1=(L2-L1)/2+(SL1-SL2)/2,而對於第一移動方向MD1而言,必然是在第一直徑20D1的方向上的,只需要確定是向左還是向右即可,從圖1中可以直觀地看出為從左向右,另外,儘管在圖式中未示出但參考圖1可以理解的,假設矽片W在第一直徑20D1的方向上位於基座20的圓心與基準位置之間,則第一移動距離ML1=(SL1-SL2)/2-(L1-L2)/2,而第一移動方向為從左向右,另外,儘管在圖式中未示出但參考圖1可以理解的,假設矽片W在第一直徑20D1的方向上位於基準位置的右側,則第一移動距離ML1=(SL1-SL2)/2+(L1-L2)/2,而第一移動方向為從右向左;The first acquisition unit 200 is used to acquire a first moving direction MD based on the first spacing L1 and the second spacing L2 and a first reference spacing SL1 and a second reference spacing SL2 between the periphery 20E of the base 20 and the periphery WE of the silicon wafer W on the first diameter 20D1 when the silicon wafer W is in a reference position relative to the base 20 as shown by the dotted line in the example shown in FIG. 1 1 and a first moving distance ML1, the first moving direction MD1 and the first moving distance ML1 are used to align the silicon wafer W with the reference position in the direction of the second diameter 20D2 by moving in the direction of the first diameter 20D1. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 1, when the silicon wafer W moves in the direction of the second diameter 20D2, the difference between the second distance L2 and the first distance L1 is constant, so that The first moving distance ML1=(L2-L1)/2+(SL1-SL2)/2 is obtained. As for the first moving direction MD1, it must be in the direction of the first diameter 20D1. It only needs to be determined whether it is to the left or to the right. It can be intuitively seen from FIG. 1 that it is from left to right. In addition, although it is not shown in the figure, it can be understood by referring to FIG. 1. It is assumed that the silicon wafer W is located at the center of the base 20 in the direction of the first diameter 20D1. Between the reference position, the first moving distance ML1=(SL1-SL2)/2-(L1-L2)/2, and the first moving direction is from left to right. In addition, although not shown in the figure, it can be understood with reference to FIG. 1 that, assuming that the silicon wafer W is located on the right side of the reference position in the direction of the first diameter 20D1, the first moving distance ML1=(SL1-SL2)/2+(L1-L2)/2, and the first moving direction is from right to left;

第二獲取單元300,所述第二獲取單元300用於基於所述第三間距L3和所述第四間距L4以及當所述矽片W相對於所述基座20處於所述基準位置時所述基座20的周緣20E與所述矽片W的周緣WE之間在所述第二直徑20D2上的第三基準間距SL3和第四基準間距SL4獲取第二移動方向MD2和第二移動距離ML2,所述第二移動方向MD2和所述第二移動距離ML2用於使所述矽片W藉由在所述第二直徑20D2的方向上移動而在所述第一直徑20D1的方向上與所述基準位置對準,具體地,在圖1示出的示例中,類似地由於當矽片W沿著第一直徑20D1的方向移動時,第三間距L3與第四間距L4之間的差值是不變的,因此可以得出第二移動距離ML2=(L3-L4)/2+(SL4-SL3)/2,而對於第二移動方向MD2而言,必然是在第二直徑20D2的方向上的,只需要確定是向上還是向下即可,從圖1中可以直觀地看出為從下向上,另外,儘管在圖式中未示出但參考圖1可以理解的,假設矽片W在第二直徑20D2的方向上位於基座20的圓心與基準位置之間,則第二移動距離ML2=(SL4-SL3)/2-(L4-L3)/2,而第二移動方向為從下向上,另外,儘管在圖式中未示出但參考圖1可以理解的,假設矽片W在第二直徑20D2的方向上位於基準位置的上側,則第二移動距離ML2=(SL4-SL3)/2+(L4-L3)/2,而第二移動方向為從上向下;The second acquisition unit 300 is used to acquire a second moving direction MD2 and a second moving distance ML2 based on the third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 and a third reference distance SL3 and a fourth reference distance SL4 between the periphery 20E of the base 20 and the periphery WE of the silicon wafer W on the second diameter 20D2 when the silicon wafer W is in the reference position relative to the base 20, The second moving direction MD2 and the second moving distance ML2 are used to align the silicon wafer W with the reference position in the direction of the first diameter 20D1 by moving the silicon wafer W in the direction of the second diameter 20D2. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 1 , similarly, since the difference between the third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 is constant when the silicon wafer W moves in the direction of the first diameter 20D1, it can be concluded that the second moving direction MD2 and the second moving distance ML2 are aligned with the reference position in the direction of the first diameter 20D1. The moving distance ML2 = (L3-L4)/2 + (SL4-SL3)/2, and for the second moving direction MD2, it must be in the direction of the second diameter 20D2. It only needs to be determined whether it is upward or downward. It can be intuitively seen from FIG1 that it is from bottom to top. In addition, although it is not shown in the figure, it can be understood by referring to FIG1. It is assumed that the silicon wafer W is located between the center of the base 20 and the reference in the direction of the second diameter 20D2. The second moving distance ML2 = (SL4-SL3)/2-(L4-L3)/2, and the second moving direction is from bottom to top. In addition, although not shown in the figure, it can be understood with reference to FIG. 1 that, assuming that the silicon wafer W is located on the upper side of the reference position in the direction of the second diameter 20D2, the second moving distance ML2 = (SL4-SL3)/2+(L4-L3)/2, and the second moving direction is from top to bottom;

驅動單元400,所述驅動單元400用於使所述矽片W按照所述第一移動方向MD1和所述第一移動距離ML1移動並且使所述矽片W按照所述第二移動方向MD2和所述第二移動距離ML2移動,由此將矽片W校準至上述的基準位置。The driving unit 400 is used to move the silicon wafer W according to the first moving direction MD1 and the first moving distance ML1 and to move the silicon wafer W according to the second moving direction MD2 and the second moving distance ML2, thereby calibrating the silicon wafer W to the above-mentioned reference position.

在本發明中,矽片W的移動距離和移動方向的確定以及移動的實現都是以自動化的方式完成的,由此提高了生産效率及校準精度,另外以基座20的周緣20E與矽片W的周緣WE之間在彼此垂直的兩個直徑上的四個基準間距的方式來規定或定義矽片W的基準位置,由此僅僅需要測量相對應的四個間距,並且藉由簡單的四則運算便能夠確定出能夠使矽片W移動至基準位置的移動距離和移動方向,另外移動是在彼此正交的兩個方向上發生的並且不受先後順序的影響,由此能夠使移動簡單化。與比如藉由三個點來確定一個圓相比,避免了複雜的三角函數的使用並且使計算過程得到極大的簡化,而與比如藉由四個以上的點來確定一個圓相比,減少了測量步驟並簡化了計算過程。In the present invention, the determination of the moving distance and moving direction of the silicon wafer W and the realization of the movement are all completed in an automated manner, thereby improving production efficiency and calibration accuracy. In addition, the reference position of the silicon wafer W is stipulated or defined in the form of four reference distances between the periphery 20E of the base 20 and the periphery WE of the silicon wafer W on two perpendicular diameters. Therefore, only the corresponding four distances need to be measured, and the moving distance and moving direction that can move the silicon wafer W to the reference position can be determined by simple four arithmetic operations. In addition, the movement occurs in two directions that are orthogonal to each other and is not affected by the order of precedence, thereby simplifying the movement. Compared with, for example, determining a circle by three points, the use of complex trigonometric functions is avoided and the calculation process is greatly simplified, while compared with, for example, determining a circle by four or more points, the number of measurement steps is reduced and the calculation process is simplified.

通常,在比如對矽片W進行外延處理的處理過程中,需要使矽片W相對於基座20居中,也就是說在矽片W的基準位置中,矽片W與基座20是同心的而沒有任何偏心,在這種情况下,在本發明的可選實施例中,參見圖2,在所述基準位置中,即當矽片W處於虛線所示位置時,所述矽片W與所述基座20可以彼此同心,並且,Typically, in a process such as epitaxial processing of a silicon wafer W, the silicon wafer W needs to be centered relative to the base 20, that is, in the reference position of the silicon wafer W, the silicon wafer W and the base 20 are concentric without any eccentricity. In this case, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, see FIG. 2 , in the reference position, that is, when the silicon wafer W is in the position indicated by the dotted line, the silicon wafer W and the base 20 can be concentric with each other, and,

對於矽片W相對於基座20發生偏移而言,有時儘管偏移是存在的,但偏移量非常小的話是不需要對矽片W進行校準的。對此,在本發明的可選實施例中,參見圖3,所述裝置10還可以包括:Regarding the offset of the silicon wafer W relative to the base 20, sometimes, although the offset exists, if the offset is very small, it is not necessary to calibrate the silicon wafer W. In this regard, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 3 , the device 10 may further include:

第三獲取單元500,所述第三獲取單元500用於利用所述第一間距L1、所述第二間距L2、所述第三間距L3和所述第四間距L4以及所述第一基準間距SL1、所述第二基準間距SL2、所述第三基準間距SL3和所述第四基準間距SL4獲取所述矽片W的實際偏移量,以與容許偏移量進行比較。這樣,在實際偏移量小於容許偏移量的情况下,便可以不對矽片W進行校準。更具體地,如在圖3中示出的,假設矽片W相對於基座20發生了第一直徑20D1的方向上的向右偏移,在這種情况下利用第一間距L1、第一基準間距SL1或者利用第二間距L2、第二基準間距SL2便可以獲取矽片W的實際偏移量為(SL1-L1)或者(L2-SL2),而如果該實際偏移量小於容許偏移量的話,可以不對矽片W的位置進行校準,另外儘管在圖式中未示出但可以理解的,假設矽片W相對於基座20發生了第二直徑20D2的方向上的偏移,在這種情况下利用第三間距L3、第三基準間距SL3或者利用第四間距L4、第四基準間距SL4便可以獲取矽片W的實際偏移量為第三間距L3與第三基準間距SL3之間的差值或者為第四間距L4與第四基準間距SL4之間的差值,另外儘管在圖式中未示出但可以理解的,假設矽片W相對於基座20不僅發生了第一直徑20D1的方向上的偏移而且發生了第二直徑20D2的方向上的偏移,如在圖1中示出的,在這種情况下利用第一間距L1、第二間距L2、第三間距L3和第四間距L4以及第一基準間距SL1、第二基準間距SL2、第三基準間距SL3和第四基準間距SL4便可以獲取矽片的實際偏移量為:The third acquisition unit 500 is used to acquire the actual offset of the silicon wafer W by using the first spacing L1, the second spacing L2, the third spacing L3 and the fourth spacing L4 and the first reference spacing SL1, the second reference spacing SL2, the third reference spacing SL3 and the fourth reference spacing SL4, so as to compare the actual offset with the allowable offset. In this way, when the actual offset is less than the allowable offset, the silicon wafer W does not need to be calibrated. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , assuming that the silicon wafer W is offset to the right in the direction of the first diameter 20D1 relative to the base 20, in this case, the actual offset of the silicon wafer W can be obtained as (SL1-L1) or (L2-SL2) by using the first spacing L1, the first reference spacing SL1 or the second spacing L2, the second reference spacing SL2, and if the actual offset is less than the allowable offset, the position of the silicon wafer W does not need to be calibrated. In addition, although it is not shown in the figure, it can be understood that assuming that the silicon wafer W is offset to the right in the direction of the second diameter 20D2 relative to the base 20, in this case, the third spacing L3, the third reference spacing SL3 or the fourth spacing L4 can be used to obtain the actual offset of the silicon wafer W. , and the fourth reference distance SL4 can obtain the actual offset of the silicon wafer W as the difference between the third distance L3 and the third reference distance SL3 or the difference between the fourth distance L4 and the fourth reference distance SL4. In addition, although it is not shown in the figure, it can be understood that, assuming that the silicon wafer W has not only offset in the direction of the first diameter 20D1 but also offset in the direction of the second diameter 20D2 relative to the base 20, as shown in FIG. 1, in this case, the first distance L1, the second distance L2, the third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 and the first reference distance SL1, the second reference distance SL2, the third reference distance SL3 and the fourth reference distance SL4 can be obtained as:

.

另外,這裡的容許偏移量是指,在矽片W相對於基準位置産生了該偏移量的情况下,所導致的前述的問題比如對外延層厚度、平坦度、電阻率的不利影響在可以接受的範圍內,並且這裡的容許偏移量可以根據實際生産過程中獲得的大量的比如偏移量與産品質量之間的對應數據來確定出。In addition, the allowable offset here means that when the silicon wafer W has this offset relative to the reference position, the aforementioned problems caused, such as the adverse effects on the thickness, flatness, and resistivity of the epitaxial layer, are within an acceptable range, and the allowable offset here can be determined based on a large amount of corresponding data such as the offset and product quality obtained in the actual production process.

由於比如矽片外延設備在長期使用過程中會産生部件的移位等對於比如矽片W的外延層的質量産生不利影響的變化,因此,需要對矽片W相對於基座20的基準位置進行調整,以避免這些變化造成的不利影響。對此,在本發明的可選實施例中,參見圖4,所述裝置10可以應用於在所述矽片W上生長外延層以獲得外延矽片的外延設備中,並且所述裝置10還可以包括更新單元600,所述更新單元600用於在每獲得40至60張所述外延矽片後對所述基準位置進行更新,比如從圖4中示出的實線位置更新至虛線位置。由此,可以避免外延設備因長期使用導致基準位置不再適合於外延處理造成的不利影響。Since, for example, the silicon wafer epitaxial device may produce changes such as displacement of components during long-term use, which may have adverse effects on the quality of the epitaxial layer of the silicon wafer W, it is necessary to adjust the reference position of the silicon wafer W relative to the base 20 to avoid the adverse effects caused by these changes. In this regard, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG4 , the device 10 may be applied to an epitaxial device for growing an epitaxial layer on the silicon wafer W to obtain an epitaxial silicon wafer, and the device 10 may further include an updating unit 600, which is used to update the reference position after obtaining 40 to 60 epitaxial silicon wafers, for example, from the solid line position shown in FIG4 to the dotted line position. Thus, the adverse effect caused by the reference position of the epitaxial equipment being no longer suitable for epitaxial processing due to long-term use can be avoided.

在本發明的可選實施例中,參見圖5,所述測量單元100可以包括四個測距儀110,所述四個測距儀110設置成在所述第一直徑20D1上和所述第二直徑20D2上兩兩相對。這樣,可以以更為直接更為精確的方式確定出上述的第一間距L1、第二間距L2、第三間距L3和第四間距L4。In an optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig. 5, the measuring unit 100 may include four distance meters 110, and the four distance meters 110 are arranged to be opposite to each other on the first diameter 20D1 and the second diameter 20D2. In this way, the first distance L1, the second distance L2, the third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 mentioned above can be determined in a more direct and accurate manner.
