Imboni ye-semiconductor isebenza ngemikhawulo ebonakalayo yalokho okulinganiselwe nokukhiqizwayo. Amasekethe ahlanganisiwe anamuhla afaka ama-transistors anobude besango obungaphansi kwama-nanometer amathathu - ubukhulu lapho i-athomu eyodwa ye-silicon imelela ingxenye ebalulekile yobukhulu besici esibalulekile. Izinhlelo ze-lithography, amathuluzi okuhlola i-wafer, kanye nemishini ye-metrology edala futhi iqinisekise lezi zakhiwo kumele ifinyelele ukunemba kokubeka, ukuhlukaniswa kokudlidliza, kanye nokuzinza kobukhulu obekungabonakali kungenakwenzeka eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule.
Kodwa ngaphakathi kwala makamelo agcwele ubuchwepheshe obungavamile, enye yezinto zokwakha ezibaluleke kakhulu yinto yasendulo: i-granite. I-granite emnyama efakwe ngomshini oqondile, elawulwa ngokushisa yakha umgogodla wesakhiwo samapulatifomu amaningi emishini ye-semiconductor athuthuke kakhulu emhlabeni. Ukuqonda ukuthi kungani - nokuthi kungani i-granite yonke ingalingani - kukhanyisa isici esibalulekile nesivame ukunganakwa sobunjiniyela bemishini ye-semiconductor.
Indawo Yemishini Ye-Semiconductor: Okumele Kusinde Kuyo Isisekelo
Uhlelo lokuchayeka kwe-photolithography (isikena noma isitebhisi) lusebenza endaweni ehlanzekile lapho ukubalwa kwezinhlayiya emoyeni kulawulwa khona kumazinga e-Class 1 noma e-Class 10 — okusho ukuthi ngaphansi kwezinhlayiya ezingu-1 noma ezingu-10 nge-cubic foot yomoya ku-0.5 μm noma ngaphezulu. Imishini ngokwayo kumele ifinyelele ukuphindaphindwa kokubekwa kwesigaba ngaphansi kwe-nanometer engu-1, ukunemba kokumboza ngaphansi kwama-nanometer angu-2, kanye nokufana okugxile ku-wafer engu-300 mm ngaphakathi kwama-nanometer ambalwa.
Isigaba se-wafer esifeza lokhu sihamba ngesivinini esingaphezu kwemitha eli-1 ngomzuzwana, siyasheshisa futhi sehle ngesivinini esingaphezu kwama-10 g, futhi siphinda lo mjikelezo izikhathi eziyizinkulungwane ngehora — njalo ngehora, nsuku zonke, iminyaka. Isisekelo se-granite esisekela lesi sigaba akumele siguquguquke, sinyakaze, noma sizwakale ngezindlela ezonakalisa ukulinganiswa kwesikhundla sesiteji. Kumelwe sihlale sizinzile ngokwesilinganiso kulo lonke ububanzi bokusebenza kokushisa kwemishini. Futhi kumele senze konke lokhu ngokwethembeka isikhathi sokuphila kwesistimu, okungaba yiminyaka eyishumi noma ngaphezulu.
Lezi akuzona izimo zokusebenza ezithambile. Zidinga kakhulu kuzo zonke izingxenye — kufaka phakathi isisekelo se-granite esibonakala singasebenzi.
Ukuhlukaniswa Nokudambisa Ukudlidliza: Inzuzo Ebonakalayo Yegranite
Izikhungo ze-semiconductor zitshala imali enkulu ekuhlukaniseni ukudlidliza — kusukela ezisekelweni zesakhiwo (ezingase zifakwe kuma-arrays of pneumatic isolators) kuya ezinhlelweni zokukhansela ukudlidliza ezisebenzayo ezingeni lemishini. Kodwa lezi zinhlelo zinemingcele. Azikwazi ukuqeda konke ukudlidliza, futhi azikwazi ukuphendula ngokushesha kuzo zonke imvamisa. Isisekelo somshini we-granite sinikeza isigaba sokugcina sokuhlukaniswa kokudlidliza.
I-physics yokudambisa ukudlidliza ithanda izinto ezinobunzima obukhulu kanye namandla athile okudambisa. I-granite emnyama enobukhulu obuphezulu - enesakhiwo sayo esincane sekristalu se-quartz evalekile, i-feldspar, kanye namakristalu e-mica - inikeza ukudambisa okuhle kwangaphakathi kokudlidliza komshini ngokuhlanganiswa kwemiphumela yobuningi kanye nokungqubuzana komngcele wezinhlamvu. Ukudlidliza okungena esisekelweni phansi noma ngamandla okusabela esiteji esihambayo kuyamuncwa futhi kuhlakazeke ngaphakathi kwe-granite ngaphambi kokuba kukhule kubuyele ezinhlelweni zokulinganisa ezibucayi.
I-Granite idlula insimbi kulokhu, naphezu kwamandla aphezulu okudonseka kwensimbi. Isizathu sisesimeni esincane se-crystalline: isakhiwo se-granite se-polycrystalline granite siyahlakazeka futhi simunce amandla okudlidliza emingceleni ye-grain, kuyilapho isakhiwo se-crystalline sensimbi esihlelekile senza ukudlidliza kube ngcono kakhulu. Insimbi ephothiwe ingcono kunensimbi yokudambisa, yingakho yayisetshenziswa ngokomlando ezisekelweni zamathuluzi omshini wokucacisa - kodwa i-granite yokucacisa ingcono nakakhulu.
Ukuzinza Kokushisa: Isisekelo Sokuphindaphinda Kwe-Nanometer
Esikalini se-nanometer, ukuzinza kokushisa kuyisici esiyinhloko esilawula ukuphindaphindeka kobukhulu. Ukushintsha kwezinga lokushisa elingu-1°C engxenyeni yensimbi eyimitha eli-1 kubangela cishe ama-micrometer angu-11.7 okwanda kokushisa — ama-nanometer angu-11,700. Ku-granite, ukwanda okulinganayo kuvame ukuba ama-micrometer angu-6-8, cishe ingxenye yensimbi. Ku-ceramics yengilazi yokwanda ephansi kakhulu (njenge-Zerodur noma i-ULE), kungama-micrometer angu-0-0.02 kuphela ngedigri ngayinye — kodwa lezi zinto zibiza kakhulu futhi kunzima ukuzicubungula ngobukhulu obukhulu obudingekayo ezisekelweni zomshini.
Ezisekelweni zemishini ye-semiconductor, ukuziphatha kokukhula kokushisa kwe-granite akumele kube phansi nje kuphela kodwa kube okubikezelwayo. Abaklami basebenzisa i-CTE eyaziwayo ye-granite ukuze baklame isinxephezelo sokushisa esiteji.uhlelo lokulinganisa isikhundlaI-CTE engalindelekile noma ehlukahluka ngokwendawo — engenzeka ngekhwalithi ephansi noma i-granite engakhethwanga kahle — yenza isinxephezelo singenzeki futhi kuholele emaphutheni okuma okuncike ekushiseni angenakukwazi ukulinganiswa.
Lesi esinye sezizathu ezenza ukuthi umthombo kanye nokucaciswa kwe-granite kuqakatheke ekusetshenzisweni kwemishini ye-semiconductor. Izinto kumele zichazwe ngokuziphatha kokushisa — hhayi nje ngokuthi “i-granite emnyama” — futhi kumele zihlangabezane nezidingo zobuningi kanye nokulingana okuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuziphatha kwayo kokushisa kuyafana kuyo yonke ingxenye.
Izindawo zeGranite Ezithwala Umoya: I-Moving Interface
Izinhlelo eziningi zokunyakaza kwemishini ye-semiconductor zisebenzisa ama-air bearings — amafilimu amancane omoya ocindezelwe avumela izigaba ukuthi zihambe phezu kwendawo yokubhekisela ngaphandle kokungqubuzana kanye nokuguguleka kokuxhumana. Ama-air bearings anikeza ubushelelezi bokunyakaza kwe-sub-nanometer, akukho ukuziphatha kokunamathela (okungonakalisa ukuma kwe-nanometer-scale), futhi akukho ukungcola kokugcoba okungalimaza indawo yokuhlanza.
Ukusebenza kwe-air bearing kuncike kakhulu endaweni egibela kuyo. Amaphutha okusicaba endaweni yokuthwala aba amaphutha okubeka isigaba. Ukungalungi kwendawo kuthinta ukuzinza kwefilimu yomoya. Izinto kumele zibe nzima ngokwanele ukumelana nokuguguleka uma ifilimu yomoya iwela okwesikhashana ngesikhathi sokusebenza. Futhi izinto kumele zihambisane nokushisa nesiteji kanye nohlelo lokunikezwa komoya ukuze kugwenywe ukwanda okuhlukile okushintsha igebe lomoya.
I-granite enembile, ehlanganiswe yaba yi-flat kangcono kune-1 μm ngaphezu kwebanga lokuhamba le-bearing futhi yapholishwa yaba yi-Ra ngaphansi kuka-0.1 μm, ihlangabezana nazo zonke lezi zidingo. Inhlanganisela yobunzima obuphezulu (ukumelana nokuguguleka), ukuba lukhuni okuphansi kobuso (ukusekela amafilimu omoya azinzile), kanye nokuzinza okulinganayo (ukulondoloza ukuba bushelelezi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi) kwenza i-granite ibe yinto ekhethwayo yezindawo zokubhekisela ze-bearing air ezisetshenziswayo ze-semiconductor ezidinga kakhulu.
Ukuhlolwa kwe-Granite ku-Wafer kanye ne-Metrology Equipment
Ngaphandle kwe-lithography, i-granite idlala indima ebaluleke ngokulinganayo emshinini osetshenziselwa ukuhlola nokukala ama-wafer e-semiconductor. Ama-scanning electron microscope (ama-SEM), izinhlelo ze-focused ion beam (i-FIB), amathuluzi okuhlola amaphutha okukhanya, kanye nezinhlelo ze-overlay metrology zonke zithembele ezisekelweni ezizinzile, ezingenawo amadlingozi ukuze kufezwe ukunemba kwazo kokulinganisa okudingekayo.
I-critical dimension scanning electron microscope (CD-SEM) elinganisa ububanzi besango elingama-nanometer amathathu kumele ithathe isithombe ngokunemba kwe-sub-nanometer. Noma yikuphi ukudlidliza phakathi kwesampula kanye nogongolo lwe-electron ngesikhathi sokutholwa kwesithombe kufiphaza isithombe futhi kwethule ukungaqiniseki kokulinganisa. Isisekelo se-granite sihlukanisa isigaba sesampula ekudlidlizeni phansi, sinikeze indawo ethule yemishini lapho ukulinganisa kwesilinganiso se-athomu kungenzeka khona.
Ngokufanayo, izinhlelo ze-optical scatterometry kanye namathuluzi e-wafer geometry zisebenzisa izisekelo ze-granite kanye nezindawo zokubhekisela ukuze kugcinwe ubudlelwano be-geometric phakathi kwemishayo yokulinganisa kanye nobuso be-wafer. Ukunemba kokulinganisa kwethuluzi lonke - okunquma ukuthi i-wafer iyadlula noma yehluleka ukuhlolwa - ekugcineni kuncike ekuzinzeni kobukhulu be-granite ngaphansi kwayo.
Izicelo Zemboni: Imephu Engaphelele Ye-Granite Ekukhiqizweni Kwe-Semiconductor
Ukuze uqonde ububanzi bendima ye-granite ekukhiqizweni kwe-semiconductor, cabanga ngezinhlobo zemishini lapho izingxenye ze-granite eziqondile zitholakala khona njalo: izikena ze-photolithography kanye nama-stepper (izisekelo zesigaba se-wafer, izisekelo zesigaba se-reticle, ozimele bezinkomba); imishini ye-chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) (izindawo zokubhekisela ze-conditioning disc, izigaba zokulinganisa); izinhlelo zokuhlola i-wafer (izisekelo zesigaba, izibuko zokubhekisela, amapulatifomu okuhlukaniswa kokudlidliza); imishini ye-metrology ehlanganisa ama-scatterometer, ama-ellipsometer, namathuluzi okumboza i-interferometric; izinhlelo zokuphatha i-wafer nezokuthutha lapho ukuzinza kobukhulu kuvimbela khona umonakalo we-wafer; izinhlelo zokuhlola i-electron beam kanye ne-lithography; kanye nemishini yokufaka i-ion lapho ukuzinza kokubekwa kwe-beam kubalulekile khona.
Kuzo zonke lezi zicelo, i-granite akuyona into yokufaka impahla kodwa iyisici esibalulekile sokunemba okucacisiwe ukusebenza kwayo okunquma ngqo ikhono lesistimu. Umehluko phakathi kwengxenye ye-granite eyenziwe yaba yi-±10 μm flatness kanye nenye eyenziwe yaba yi-±0.5 μm flatness akuyona intuthuko engu-20× — kungaba umehluko phakathi kwethuluzi elifeza ukucaciswa kwalo kanye nelingenakukwazi ngokuphelele.
I-Sourcing Precision Granite yezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Semiconductor
Njengoba kunikezwe izidingo zokusebenza kwezicelo ze-semiconductor, ukukhethwa kanye nokufaneleka komhlinzeki we-granite kuyisinqumo esibalulekile sobunjiniyela. Ngale kwemininingwane yezinto eziyisisekelo — ubuningi, i-thermal expansion coefficient, ibanga lokuthamba — abathengi badinga ukuhlola ikhono langempela lokulinganisa lomhlinzeki (bangakwazi yini ukuqinisekisa lokho abathi bayakufeza?), ulwazi lwabo ngezinhlelo zokusebenza zemishini ye-semiconductor, ukuqina kohlelo lwabo lokuphatha ikhwalithi, kanye nekhono labo lokugcina ukuvumelana kuzo zonke izinhlobo zokukhiqiza.
Uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwemboni ye-semiconductor aluthetheleli: ingxenye enembile ehluleka ukuhlangabezana nezidingo ingalibazisa ukulethwa kwemishini, yonakalise idatha yokukhiqiza, noma idinge ukulungiswa kabusha kwensimu okubizayo. Izindleko zesisekelo se-granite esinembile esihlangabezana nezidingo zincane uma kuqhathaniswa nezindleko zaleso esingahlangabezani nezidingo.
Isiphetho
Indima ye-Granite emishinini ye-semiconductor ayibonakali kwabaningi ababukayo — ifihliwe ngaphansi kobuchwepheshe obuhle kakhulu be-laser, imisebe ye-electron, kanye ne-nanoscale optics. Kodwa iyisisekelo. Ukunemba kanye nokuphindaphindeka kwesikali se-nanometer kwemishini yokukhiqiza ye-semiconductor kuncike ekuzinzeni kobukhulu, ukudambisa ukudlidliza, kanye nekhwalithi yobuso bezingxenye ze-granite ezinembile.
Njengoba imboni ye-semiconductor iqhubeka nokucindezela ubukhulu be-transistor ngaphansi kwemingcele yamanje, izidingo zazo zonke izingxenye ezisemishinini - kufaka phakathi isisekelo se-granite - zizokhula kuphela.
