    摘要: A thin reflective cylindrical baffle [20] in a radiant lamp heater is provided in the space below a plurality of heating bulbs [2,4,6] (arranged in a center position and around a middle and outer ring) and above a quartz window [12]. The baffle diameter is such that it fits within the annular space between the middle [4] and outer [6]ring of bulbs. The baffle which blocks a predetermined amount of light generated by the lamp bulbs [20] allows improved controllability of wafer temperature profile--for a wafer heated by a radiant lamp heater.

    摘要: A system for measuring the temperature of a semiconductor wafer 12 comprises a light source 14, a photodetector 20 which is operable to determine light intensity, and a mirror 18 in a predetermined fixed position from a beam splitter 16. The components are positioned such that light from the light source 14 impinges the beam splitter 16 and subsequently reflects off the mirror 18 and the wafer 12 and is received by the photodetector 20. Changes in the temperature of the wafer 12 are calculated based upon changes in the intensity of the received light which depends upon the expansion/contraction of the wafer. The absolute temperature may be calculated based on a known reference temperature and the changes in wafer 12 temperature. A second system and method for measuring the temperature of a semiconductor wafer which includes the use of a plurality of mirrors and two beam splitters is also disclosed.

    摘要: A processing apparatus and method for anisotropically etching thin film metal (e.g. tungsten) under plasma bombardment conditions by using a feed gas mixture which includes a fluorine source (such as SF.sub.6) plus a bromine source (such as HBr), plus a very weak oxygen source (e.g. carbon monoxide). This chemistry provides anisotropic high rate fluoro-etching with good selectivity to photoresist.

    摘要: A process module which is compatible with a system using primarily vacuum wafer transport, but which permits processing multiple slices in parallel in a single module. This is accomplished by using notched quartz arms in the module, so that the transfer arm can place each of several wafers into one set of notches in the quartz arms. Optionally, a vertical degree of movement in the arm may be used to accomplish this, and the quartz arms may be immovable. This means that the port from the multi-wafer module into the wafer transfer system must be high enough to accommodate the necessary vertical movement of the transfer arm. After the transfer arm has placed the wafer on the quartz arms, the process module can be elevated to close around the set of wafers and made a seal. If the wafer transport arm is already configured to access wafers directly out of a multi-wafer vacuum wafer carrier, the necessary degree of freedom will necessarily already be present in the transfer arm, and at least one port of the necessary vertical dimensions will necessarily also be already present (between the loadlock and the transfer chamber). This is particularly useful in combination with relatively slow processes, such as thick field oxidation, long anneals, or long furnace heating steps used to drive in diffusions.

A plasma remote from the workpiece is used to generate activated species, and a baffle which is in proximity to the wafer face but not in contact with it is used to direct the stream of activated species. This module can be set up to perform both edge bead removal and bake of spun-on photoresist.
