By maximizing the ratio between CVD or Etch chamber gas signals and the gas background in the differentially pumped Vision 2000-C and Vision 2000-E analyzer housing, the closed ion source enables ppm-level detection for trace contaminants in the process gas. The closed ion source analyzer is manufactured from vacuum prepared stainless steel and high density alumina ceramics, and features independently replaceable twin filaments to provide built-in backup in the event of a filament failure. The standard system includes a double filter analyzer for increased sensitivity of higher mass species, contamination resistance and enhanced long-term stability.
Each Vision 2000-C and Vision 2000-E system incorporates a Remote Vacuum Controller (RVC) module that provides fail-safe protection for both the process tool and the RGA. It allows full operation and control of RGA system components (filaments, pumps, inlet valves, bakeout, etc.) from the system PC. The compact, remotelymounted rack module includes the RVC and power supplies. The unit is easily mounted onto any standard 19” tool rack for mounting on a process chamber or other compatible location. Thirty three foot (10 m) cables are included as standard so that the probe assembly can be located in a remote position.
Any Vision 2000-C or Vision 2000-E can be mounted on a mobile RGA platform with the convenience of being able to move the RGA easily between chambers as the need arises. The mobile platform has an integrated laptop table and mounts the electronics on the trolley. Using a standard ten foot (3m) cable loom the platform can be conveniently located away from the RGA mounting point on the tool chamber.
The exclusive fast response UniBloc™ inlet valve allows sampling at both background and process pressure through orifices selected for the pressures to be encountered. When not sampling, both the valve and analyzer are automatically isolated from the process chamber and purged with inert gas. Purging is done through the mass spectrometer pumping systems, not through the process chamber. Purging is also used during bake-out, reducing initial startup time and residual background recovery time. The inlet valve is operated by integrated electronics and controlled via recipes from Process Eye Professional. The required valve selection is made automatically by a gas independent pressure sensor in the UniBloc inlet which also provides a readout of the process chamber total pressure in the Process Eye Professional software.
Computer-aided design was utilized to engineer the Unibloc to have minimal internal volumes and surface areas. The internal seals are Kel-F® for compatibility with CVD and Etch process gases. The external seals are all metal. A conformal heating jacket provides temperature control to minimize deposition within the valve and to maintain mobility of sticky/polar gases through the inlet.
The Vision 2000-C/E analyzer uses Process Eye Professional, a highly flexible, modular application operating under 32bit or 64bit Windows XP, Vista, Server 2008 or Windows 7. Designed with a “client/server” structure, Process Eye Professional incorporates TCP/IP protocol for full network compatibility.
Creating process recipes is made easy by the Recipe Wizard function, which allows customized warnings and alarm levels, triggered whenever the process exceeds preset levels. The Process Eye Professional recipes also specify the way in which the Vision 2000-C or Vision 2000-E acquires, displays and stores data. Other key parameters, such as ion source settings, can be set via the Process Eye Professional recipe. This allows the user to optimize settings for each phase of the process independently. For example, ideal settings for baseline can be set up in the baseline recipe, ideal settings for process monitoring can be set in the process recipe, etc. Process Eye Professional enhances the Vision 2000-C and Vision 2000-E by providing:
The Vision 2000-C™ and Vision 2000-E™ are designed to track levels of various gas species during etch processes and the chamber clean, passivation sequences, and deposition steps for various CVD processes including:
