Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a contact temperature probe for measuring a temperature of a semiconductor substrate.
- a substrate is frequently exposed to elevated temperatures during processing.
- processes include plasma ashing of photoresist, chemical vapor deposition, annealing, and the like.
- Some of these processes include an ion source, which introduces an ion flux to the substrate surface during processing. It is generally desirable to monitor the temperature during these and other processes since temperature often impacts the quality and success of the process. Moreover, the measurement equipment used for monitoring the temperature should provide accurate and reproducible readings with minimal or no delay.
- Contact temperature measurement is one such technique that is often used to monitor the temperature of the semiconductor substrate during processing.
- Contact temperature measurement techniques typically include contacting the substrate with a probe containing a temperature sensor.
- the probe is typically fabricated from materials that possess high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum. Many of the advances in contact measurement are directed to improving the accuracy of the temperature readings as well as the response times.
- contact temperature measurement probes having a probe head which pivots under the weight of a semiconductor substrate so as to maintain close contact therewith.
- the pivoting probe head reduces contact resistance between the substrate and the probe head resulting in greater accuracy in the temperature measurements.
- Thermally isolating temperature sensor wires extending from the probe head provides further improvements.
- a contact measurement probe in accordance with the present disclosure comprises a probe head having a contact surface made of a ceramic material for contacting a substrate; and a temperature sensor having lead wires which exit the probe head and run through a shield for shielding the wires from the process environment, wherein the probe head is supported only by the temperature sensor lead wires and the shield does not touch the probe head.

- a probe head for the contact temperature probe comprises an electrically conductive pad; and a ceramic material or polymeric material disposed on a contact surface of the pad, wherein the ceramic material is selected from the group consisting of A1N, BeO, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing ceramic materials, and wherein the polymeric material is selected from the group consisting of polyimides, and polyetheretherketones.
- a contact temperature probe comprises a probe head made of a ceramic or polymeric material having an electrical resistance greater than or equal to about 1 x 10 6 ohm-cm and a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to about 100 W/m-K at 100°C; and a temperature sensor in contact with the probe head having lead wires that run through a shield for shielding the wires from the process environment, wherein the probe head is supported only by the temperature sensor lead wires and the shield does not touch the probe head.
- a contact temperature measurement process for eliminating electrical bias in a process environment that includes an ion source comprises contacting a substrate with a contact measurement probe comprising a probe head and a temperature sensor, wherein the probe head comprises a flat contact surface made of a ceramic material, wherein the temperature sensor has lead wires which exit the probe head and run through a shield for shielding the wires from the process environment, and wherein the probe head is supported only by the temperature sensor lead wire and the shield does not touch the probe head; generating a thermoelectric voltage in the temperature sensor as a function of temperature, wherein the thermoelectric voltage is free from electrical bias; and converting the thermoelectric voltage to an actual temperature of the semiconductor substrate.

- the exemplary contact measurement probe 10 for use in monitoring temperatures during processes utilized in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
- the exemplary contact measurement probe 10 includes a probe head 12 having a electrically insulative and thermally conductive contact surface 14 for contacting a semiconductor substrate during temperature measurement, and a quartz shield 16 for shielding the temperature sensor wires 18, 20 from the process environment.
- the contact surface conforms to the surface topography of the semiconductor surface upon which it contacts, e.g., flat.
- the electrically insulative and thermally conductive contact surface 14 provides greater temperature measurement accuracy in process environments that include an ion source by eliminating biasing effects caused by the ion sources.
- the contact measurement probe 10 disclosed herein can also provide accurate temperature measurements in process environments that do not include an ion source such as may be encountered in plasma mediated processes, annealing processes, chemical vapor deposition processes, and the like.
- the contact measurement probe 10 includes a probe head 12 that is supported by temperature sensor wires 18 and 20, and is thermally isolated from the quartz shield 16.
- the thermal isolation of the probe head 12 reduces the effective thermal mass and causes the temperature sensor to more closely follow the temperature of the semiconductor substrate.
- the contact measurement probe 10 pivots under the weight of the semiconductor substrate, thereby providing intimate contact between the contact surface 14 of the contact measurement probe 10 and the semiconductor substrate.
- the quartz shield 16 encloses a stainless steel tube 22 that protects the temperature sensor wires 18, 20 from extraneous electrical signals.
- a ceramic tube 24 having two longitudinally extending openings through which the wires 18 and 20 are run.
- the ceramic tube provides heat insulation for the thermocouple wires 18, 20 and also prevents the wires 18, 20 from touching each other. An additional thermocouple junction would undesirably result if the wires 18, 20 were to touch causing inaccurate temperature measurements.
- the temperature sensor is a thermocouple.
- a thermocouple consists of a junction of two dissimilar metals with wire leads connected to each half of the junction.
- the thermocouple generates a thermoelectric voltage that is a function of the junction temperature and the choice of particular metals that form the junction. Because the thermoelectric voltage generated as a function of temperature can be determined for a particular thermocouple junction, a voltage-measuring instrument can be used to measure the junction voltage and convert the voltage measurement into corresponding temperature information through a simple voltage to temperature conversion algorithm.
- a variety of different metals for use in the thermocouple junction have been employed depending on the application.
- thermocouple types include the anticipated temperature range of the measurement application and the required measurement accuracy. "E-type”, “J-type”, and “K- type” thermocouples are examples of commonly available thermocouples, which have well known characteristics in the industry for temperature range and accuracy. Temperature measurement instruments that utilize thermocouple probes will commonly accept E-type, J-type, and K-type thermocouples and provide proper conversion of the measured junction voltage into a temperature reading according to standard temperature and voltage tables.
- Figure 3 illustrates a cross sectional view of the probe head 12.
- the probe head 12 is shown as being generally disk shaped and includes the flat contact surface 14 disposed on a body portion 15.
- the contact surface 14 of the probe head 12 comprises a ceramic material.

- the body portion 15 may have a flat surface or an irregularly shaped surface.
- the ceramic material may be disposed on non- contact surfaces without detracting from its utility.
- the electrically insulative and thermally conductive contact surface 14 comprises a polymer.
- the polymer may be coated or adhesively affixed to the body portion 15.
- the body portion 15 can be fabricated from any suitable thermally conductive material, e.g., ceramics, metals, and the like.
- the body portion 15 is fabricated from a metal such as aluminum, gold, copper, silver, combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing metals, and the like.
- aluminum metal is most preferred in view of its cost and ease in which it can be machined.
- the thermal conductivity of aluminum is about 235 W/m-K at 100°C.
- a centered, axial, blind hole 26 preferably extends from lower surface 28 of the body portion 15.
- the temperature sensor e.g., thermocouple junction, is inserted into hole 26.
- the hole 26 is then collapsed by a crimping operation around the thermocouple as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,791,782, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This creates good electrical contact between the two wires 18, 20 at the junction and good thermal contact between the probe head 12 and the temperature sensor.
- the sensor wires 18 and 20 form two legs of a triangle having an apex at the probe head 12.
- the wires 18, 20 are of suitable stiffness to support the probe head 12 by themselves while allowing pivoting of the head 12 about the thermocouple junction under weight of the semiconductor substrate.
- a probe head 30 is preferably fabricated from a monolith of ceramic material, i.e., a solid disk, having a contact surface 34. Since many ceramic materials suitable for forming the probe head 30 are inherently brittle, it is preferred that the thermocouple junction is welded to provide good electrical contact between the two wires 18, 20 at the junction and good thermal contact between the probe head 30 and the temperature sensor. In this manner, it is preferred that a metallic paste or ink is first applied to a non-contact surface of the probe head 30, and more preferably, is applied to the lower surface 38 of the probe head, i.e., the non-contact surface diametrically opposed to the contact surface.
- the metallic paste or ink is then heated to a temperature sufficient to metallize the surface and fixedly attach the metal to the ceramic surface.
- the temperature sensor e.g., thermocouple junction is then soldered to the metallized surface formed by the metallic paste or ink.
- the soldered area is selectively coated with a thin layer of aluminum or the like to provide protection in the processing environment so that metals in the solder may not be emitted on to the substrate, which could deleteriously contribute to metals contamination.

- a weld 43 of a metallic material such as aluminum then encompasses the intertwined wires.
- a top surface 44 of the weld 43 is made flat. The flat surface 44 is then coated with a ceramic material or polymeric material in the manner previously described. The contact surface 44 of the probe head 40 contacts the semiconductor substrate during temperature measurement.
- the ceramic or polymeric material is selected to have an electrical resistivity greater than about 1 x 10 ohm-cm, with greater than about 1 x 10 10 ohm-cm even more preferred, and with greater than about 1 x 10 16 ohm-cm most preferred.
- the ceramic or polymeric material is preferably selected to have a thermal conductivity greater than about 100 W/m-K at 100°C, with greater than about 150 W/m-K at 100°C even more preferred, and with greater than about 200 W/m-K at 100°C most preferred.

- the ceramic material can be deposited onto the probe head by any number of methods including plasma thermal spray, vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, and the like. Monoliths of ceramic material can be fabricated using powder compaction and sintering methods.
- Plasma thermal spray is basically the spraying of molten or heat softened material onto a surface to provide a coating.
- Material in the form of a powder is injected into a very high temperature plasma flame, where it is rapidly heated and accelerated to a high velocity. The hot material impacts onto the substrate surface and rapidly cools forming a coating.
- Vapor deposition generally includes heating and vaporizing a substance in a vacuum, and depositing a layer of the substance onto a surface of a substrate to be treated, thereby forming a thin layer.
- plasma vapor deposition generally includes heating a solid to a high temperature or vaporizing and condensing a solid forcibly, with no chemical reaction, to form a thin film.
- Chemical vapor deposition method generally includes forming a thin film by chemically reacting a vapor of a metal or a volatile compound in a gas phase.
- Sputtering generally includes generating ionized plasma in a relatively low degree of vacuum, accelerating ionized argon, and causing collision of the argon with a target (a solid material which is a target of collision of the accelerated particles) to sputter target atoms, thereby coating the surface of a material to be treated.
- a target a solid material which is a target of collision of the accelerated particles
- the monolithic ceramic probe head can be fabricated using a mold.
- the ceramic material in the form of a paste, is disposed in the mold.
- the mold is selected to conform to the desired shape of the probe head, e.g., disk shaped, with a diameter of about 2mm, and a thickness of about 1mm.
- a thermocouple junction is preferably inserted into the ceramic paste filled mold, which is then hardened.
- the ceramic paste filled mold can be heated at a temperature sufficient to harden the ceramic paste, thereby fixing the thermocouple junction into the hardened ceramic.
- this process of fabricating the monolithic probe head avoids the steps of metallizing the surface and subsequently soldering the thermocouple to the monolithic ceramic probe head.
- the thermocouple formed in this manner need not be coated with a protective layer, e.g., evaporated aluminum, since there is no solder utilized that can potentially contribute to metals contamination during exposure to the processing environment.
- a contact measurement probe was fabricated.
- a probe head was first machined from aluminum in the shape of a disk.
- the probe head had a diameter of 2.03 millimeters (mm) and a thickness of 0.635 mm.
- a centered, axial hole was drilled in a lower surface to a depth of about 1.0 mm.
- a type K thermocouple was inserted into the hole and crimped.
- a layer of beryllium oxide (BeO) was then deposited onto the top surface under vacuum at a thickness of about 2,000 to about 8,000 angstroms (A). Electrical resistivity of the BeO was greater than about 1 x 10 14 ohm-cm and its thermal conductivity was about 210 W/m-K at 100°C.
- Lead wires from the thermocouple were inserted into a stainless steel tube. Within the stainless steel tube is a ceramic tube having two longitudinally extending openings through which the lead wires are run. A quartz shield was then disposed about the stainless steel tube and exposed lead wires. The lead wires support the probe head by themselves while allowing pivoting of the head about the thermocouple junction under weight of the semiconductor substrate. In a similar manner, contact measurement probes were fabricated with A1N applied to the top surface of the aluminum pad into which the thermocouple bead had been crimped.
- a contact measurement probe was fabricated with a monolithic probe head comprised of BeO.
- the probe head was made in the shape of a disk with a diameter of about 2.0 millimeters (mm) and a thickness of about 0.9 mm.
- a manganese-molybdenum ink was painted onto a flat surface of the probe head and heated to a temperature of about 1000°C to form a metallized surface.
- a type K thermocouple was then soldered to the metallized surface using a high temperature solder. Prior to soldering, a junction of the thermocouple was flattened to generally conform to the metallized surface and increase the area of contact between the junction and the probe head.
- Aluminum nitride paste was then applied to the solder joint formed during soldering. Similar probes were fabricated wherein the solder joint was coated with a thin layer of evaporated aluminum. Lead wires from the thermocouple were inserted into a stainless steel tube. Within the stainless steel tube is a ceramic tube having two longitudinally extending openings through which the lead wires are run. A quartz shield was then disposed about the stainless steel tube and exposed lead wires.
- substrate temperature was monitored in a processing environment that included exposure to an ion source.
- the contact temperature measurement probe was manufactured using an aluminum probe head.
- the contact temperature measurement probe, with and without a KAPTON ® film covering the contact surface, was placed in contact with a semiconductor substrate. Temperature as a function of time was then monitored during a process that included an ion flux to the substrate surface. At about 20 seconds, the ion source was switched on in the processing chamber. At about 140 seconds, the ion source was switched off.
- the contact temperature measurement probe without the KAPTON ® film exhibited a false increase in the electrical signal received by a Watlow temperature controller as the ion flux bombarded the wafer.
- the Watlow temperature controller is a closed loop controller that controls power to a battery of halogen lamps for providing controlled heating to the semiconductor substrate.
- the signal for the contact temperature measurement probe without the KAPTON ⁇ film decreased resulting in a "false fall".
- the temperature probe employing a KAPTON ® film showed no false readings upon introduction of the ion source.
- the low voltage developed on the wafer due to the presence of ion flux was insulated from the temperature sensor in the temperature probe. It is expected that similar results would be obtained with contact temperature measurement probes employing the ceramic contact surface in accoridance with the present disclosure.
- the contact temperature measurement probe including a probe head having a ceramic or polymeric contact surface as described herein.
- the ceramic or polymeric contact surface provides accurate and reproducible temperature measurements in process environments that include an ion source as demonstrated in Figure 6.
- the use of ceramic or polymeric materials permits an expanded operating range in terms of temperature.
- the melting point of aluminum is at about 600°C. Operating at about 300°C or greater can cause softening of the aluminum pad leading to the exchange of metals to and from the pad and substrate. This deleterious "gettering" effect can cause metal contamination on the substrate as well as reduces the lifetime of the aluminum pad.
- Ceramics generally have much higher melting points, e.g., BeO has a melting point of about 2500°C, and are hard materials unlike aluminum. Moreover, the use of aluminum-based probes can lead to scraping of the contact surface of the semiconductor substrate. The scraping phenomena or other degradation has not been observed with contact temperature measurement probes utilizing ceramic or polymeric contact surfaces. Still further, the described ceramic and polymeric materials are generally oxidation resistant. In contrast, aluminum can readily oxidize, which has been known to progressively degrade the thermal contact between the wafer and thermocouple bead, thereby leading to measurement errors.
