摘要: This paper presents a systematic method for estimating the dynamic incident-heat-flux profiles required to achieve thermal uniformity in 12-in silicon wafers during linearly ramped-temperature transient rapid thermal processing using the inverse heat-transfer method, A two-dimensional thermal model and temperature-dependent silicon wafer thermal properties are adopted in this study. The results show that thermal nonuniformities on the wafer surfaces occur during ramped increases in direct proportion to the ramp-up rate. The maximum temperature differences in the present study are 0.835 degreesC, 1.174 degreesC, and 1.516 degreesC, respectively, for linear 100 degreesC/s, 200 degreesC/s, and 300 degreesC/s ramp-up rates, Although a linear ramp-up rate of 300 degreesC/s was used and measurement errors did reach 3.864 degreesC, the surface temperature was maintained within 1.6 degreesC of the center of the wafer surface when the incident-heat-flux profiles were dynamically controlled according to the inverse-method approach. These thermal nonuniforimities could be acceptable in rapid thermal processing systems.
