摘要: The present disclosure provides a base bias adjustment apparatus and method, and a semiconductor process device. The base bias adjustment apparatus includes: a positive bias adjustment unit; a negative bias adjustment unit; and an anti-interference unit. A first terminal of the positive bias adjustment unit is grounded, and a second terminal of the positive bias adjustment unit is electrically connected to a base for adjusting a bias voltage of the base to have a positive bias voltage at the base. A first terminal of the negative bias adjustment unit is grounded, and a second terminal of the negative bias adjustment unit is electrically connected to the base through the anti-interference unit for adjusting the bias voltage of the base to have a negative bias voltage at the base. The anti-interference unit is electrically connected between the negative bias adjustment unit and the base for suppressing a current from a circuit between the positive bias adjustment unit and the base from flowing into a circuit between the negative bias adjustment unit and the base, thereby facilitating simultaneous operation of the positive bias adjustment unit and the negative bias adjustment unit in a process.
