Method for correction of thin film growth temperature

摘要

In the process of thin film growth, actual temperature of a substrate is measured and corrected with low cost in short time. With first thin film growth equipment of which a difference between set temperature of a heating source and an actual temperature of the substrate (hereinafter, referred to as temperature characteristic) is known, a first calibration curve representing "thin film growth rate vs. substrate actual temperature" is prepared. Next, thin film growth is conducted at one set temperature T2 with use of second thin film growth equipment whose temperature characteristic is unknown, where a difference from a set temperature T1 reading from the first calibration curve in correspondence to a thin film growth rate G resulting from the thin film growth process is determined. This difference is added to a set temperature T3 in the diffusion controlled temperature region at which the thin film growth is actually performed, making it possible to achieve thin film growth at an accurate substrate surface temperature. The temperature characteristic of the first thin film growth equipment can be known based on a second calibration curve representing "sheet resistance vs. substrate actual temperature" prepared by using a test-use substrate by ion implantation.
