摘要: A method for rapid thermal annealing is disclosed. As the substrate is inserted into an annealing chamber, it begins to heat due to the heat radiating from chamber components that were heated when a previous substrate was annealed. Thus, the leading edge of the substrate may be at an elevated temperature while the trailing edge of the substrate may be at room temperature while the substrate is inserted causing a temperature gradient is present across the substrate. Once the substrate is completely inserted into the annealing chamber, the temperature gradient may still be present. By compensating for the temperature gradient across the substrate, the substrate may be annealed uniformly.
摘要翻译: 公开了一种快速热退火的方法。 当衬底被插入退火室时,由于从先前的衬底退火时被加热的腔室部件散发的热量开始加热。 因此,衬底的前缘可能处于升高的温度,而衬底的后缘可能在室温下而衬底被插入,导致衬底上存在温度梯度。 一旦基板完全插入退火室,温度梯度可能仍然存在。 通过补偿跨越衬底的温度梯度,衬底可以均匀退火。

摘要: The present invention generally relates to methods for the rapid thermal processing (RTP) of a substrate. Embodiments of the invention include controlling a thermal process using either a real-time adaptive control algorithm or by using a control algorithm that is selected from a suite of fixed control algorithms designed for a variety of substrate types. Selection of the control algorithm is based on optical properties of the substrate measured during the thermal process. In one embodiment, a combination of control algorithms are used, wherein the majority of lamp groupings are controlled with a fixed control algorithm and a substantially smaller number of lamp zones are controlled by an adaptive control algorithm.

摘要: During fabrication, a rotating semiconductor substrate is radiated in accordance with a thermal recipe. Temperature measurements of the semiconductor substrate are obtained along with the position of the semiconductor substrate at the time of each temperature measurement. It is then determined for the position of the semiconductor substrate whether at least one particular temperature measurement of the temperature measurements should be filtered. If so, at least one filtered temperature measurement is obtained. The radiation of the semiconductor substrate is subsequently controlled based on the temperature measurements, the at least one filtered temperature measurement, and the thermal recipe.
