On-Wafer Temperature Monitoring Sensor for Condition Monitoring of Repaired Electrostatic Chuck

Abstract: The temperature of electrostatic chuck (ESC), a wafer susceptor used in semiconductor etch equipment, must accurately control the temperature of wafers during the etching process to obtain uniform and consistent process results. Failure to control the precise temperature can lead to rejection from the high-volume semiconductor manufacturing site (one of the most high-cost equipment components which can be repaired for its extended use). In this research, we propose a wireless-type on-wafer temperature monitori… Show more

“…187) The uniformity of the substrate temperature was controlled using a multizone heating system. [188][189][190][191] The temperature of the electrostatic chuck, used as a wafer susceptor, was monitored using a wireless-type on-wafer temperature monitoring system. 189) To understand the temperature results, the heat transfer characteristics of the ceramic puck for the electrostatic chuck, and the effects of different types of heating zones, such as multi-zone/singlezone heaters, 190) and the temperature uniformity of the ceramic puck 191,192) were investigated.…”

“…Besides semiconductor manufacturing, this system can be applied to a variety of areas that use sensor data. Considering that temperature variation of the electrostatic chuck (ESC) has a direct impact on the characteristics of the etching process, a wireless on-wafer temperature monitoring (OTMS) system consisting of 65 temperature measurement units was developed in Reference [2] to monitor the operating condition of the ESC. In this study, by comparing the data collected before and after the repair of the ESC, it has been confirmed that the abnormal state of the ESC can be correctly detected using the temperature distribution diagram.…”

“…It is predicted that the global sensors market size will grow from USD 204.80 billion in 2022 to around USD 508.64 billion by 2032 [ 4 ]. Among different types of sensors, a temperature sensor detects and measures coldness and heat and then converts its measurement into an electrical signal, which can facilitate automatic process control [ 5 ], quality inspection [ 6 ], and hazard management [ 7 ].…”
