Description

本発明は進行波と反射波とを検出する方向性結合器に関する。   The present invention relates to a directional coupler that detects a traveling wave and a reflected wave.

近年の半導体製造装置の処理技術高度化にともない、プラズマプロセスにおける高周波電力の高精度な測定、精緻な制御が必要とされている。   With the advancement of processing technology of semiconductor manufacturing equipment in recent years, high-precision measurement and fine control of high-frequency power in plasma processing are required.

伝送線路上を通過する高周波電力を測定する方法としては、特許第3,299,273号公報に代表されるように、伝送線路に発生している電磁界を利用して、2つの高周波信号を検出し、処理する方法が主流である。   As a method of measuring high frequency power passing on the transmission line, as represented by Japanese Patent No. 3,299,273, two high frequency signals are detected and processed using an electromagnetic field generated in the transmission line. Methods are the mainstream.

電磁界センサは、検出される信号の特徴により二つに大別され、方向性結合器、V・Iセンサと呼ばれる。方向性結合器は、伝送線路に存在する伝搬方向に進行する電磁波と、反射して戻ってくる電磁波に着目し、進行波信号・反射波信号を検出する。V・Iセンサは電界・磁界変動を個別に検出して、電圧信号・電流信号またはそれらの合わさった信号として検出する。いずれの方式においても、検出された信号は、加減算、乗除算、位相検出、A/D変換、デジタル信号処理などが行われ、周波数ごとの進行波電力や反射波電力、有効消費電力、負荷インピーダンスなどに変換される。   The electromagnetic field sensors are roughly divided into two depending on the characteristics of the detected signals, and are called directional couplers or VI sensors. The directional coupler detects the traveling wave signal / reflected wave signal, paying attention to the electromagnetic wave traveling in the propagation direction present in the transmission line and the electromagnetic wave reflected back. The V · I sensor separately detects electric field / magnetic field fluctuation and detects it as a voltage signal / current signal or their combined signal. In any of the methods, the detected signal is subjected to addition / subtraction, multiplication / division, phase detection, A / D conversion, digital signal processing, etc., and traveling wave power or reflected wave power for each frequency, effective power consumption, load impedance Converted to etc.

方向性結合器の性能の重要な要素の一つとして、有効消費電力の測定値の環境要因による変動が少ない事が挙げられる。しかしながら、方向性結合器を構成する部材の材質は、温度変化による影響を受けやすく、温度変化によってセンサ自体の検出電圧に変動が生じてしまう。   One important factor in the performance of directional couplers is the fact that the measurement of effective power consumption varies little with environmental factors. However, the material of the member constituting the directional coupler is susceptible to temperature change, and the temperature change causes fluctuation in the detection voltage of the sensor itself.

方向性結合器を構成する部材として抵抗やキャパシタ素子は、温度変化の少ない部品が従来から存在しているが、磁性体は透磁率の温度変化やBHカーブに起因する非線形性により結合度が変化して検出電圧に変化を与えるため、磁性体を使用した従来技術の磁界結合センサは温度変化による検出電圧変動が無視できない。   As components constituting directional couplers, resistance and capacitor elements have conventionally had parts with little temperature change, but the magnetic substance has a change in coupling due to non-linearity due to temperature change of the magnetic permeability and BH curve Since the detection voltage changes, the magnetic field coupling sensor of the prior art using a magnetic material can not ignore the detection voltage fluctuation due to the temperature change.

その対策として、プリント配線板上に形成したマイクロストリップ型方向性結合器や、パターンをスルーホールまたはブラインドビアで接続した電流・電圧センサのように、フォトリソグラフィ技術を用いて形状精度の高いセンサを作成する改善例がある。   As a countermeasure, a sensor with high shape accuracy using photolithography technology such as a microstrip directional coupler formed on a printed wiring board or a current / voltage sensor whose pattern is connected by through holes or blind vias. There is an improvement example to make.

図9は、基板125a上に、主線路115aが配置され、主線路115aの両側に、副線路123a、123aが配置されたストリップライン型方向性結合器であり、副線路123a、123aの一端には終端回路124が接続され、主線路115aを流れる進行波の電流と反射波の電流とが、副線路123a、123aによって個別に検出される。   FIG. 9 shows a stripline type directional coupler in which a main line 115a is disposed on a substrate 125a, and sublines 123a and 123a are disposed on both sides of the main line 115a, one end of the sublines 123a and 123a. The termination circuit 124 is connected, and the current of the traveling wave flowing through the main line 115a and the current of the reflected wave are separately detected by the sub lines 123a and 123a.

図10は、二個の筺体111,112間に挟まれたプリント配線板116に副線路123bが設けられたプリント配線板ビア・パターンコイル型方向性結合器であり、ケーブル孔136bに挿通された内部導体115bに流れる進行波の電流と反射波の電流とが副線路123bによって別々に検出される。符号124bは終端回路である。
しかしながら副線路123a、123bの周囲には誘電体となる基板材料があり特性を劣化させる原因の一つとなる。
FIG. 10 shows a printed wiring board via / pattern coil type directional coupler in which a sub-line 123b is provided on a printed wiring board 116 sandwiched between two housings 111 and 112, and is inserted into the cable hole 136b. The current of the traveling wave and the current of the reflected wave flowing to the inner conductor 115b are separately detected by the sub line 123b. Reference numeral 124 b is a termination circuit.
However, there is a substrate material to be a dielectric around the sub-lines 123a and 123b, which is one of the causes of deterioration of the characteristics.

基板材料で一般的に使われるFR4は吸水率・湿度・温度に依存して寸法変化・誘電率変化を起こし、プリント配線板のセンサ回路のインピーダンス変化を生じさせる。また大電力用途では非常に大きな温度変化にさらされることから、測定結果を安定化させる為にはより高価な基板材料を使用せざるを得なかった。   FR4 generally used as a substrate material causes dimensional change and dielectric constant change depending on water absorption, humidity and temperature, and causes impedance change of a sensor circuit of a printed wiring board. In addition, since high power applications are exposed to very large temperature changes, more expensive substrate materials have to be used to stabilize the measurement results.

なお、空芯の1ターン型コイル型電流センサ・方向性結合器は従来から存在するもの、例えば1MHz前後の低周波では、結合度を上げる為にセンサ形状が伝搬方向へ長くなりセンサの体積が大きくなる。   In addition, an air-core one-turn coil current sensor and directional coupler are conventionally used. For example, at low frequencies around 1 MHz, the sensor shape becomes longer in the propagation direction to increase the coupling degree, and the sensor volume is increased. growing.

Each of the two connection portions 33 of one other detector 23 a is connected to the inner electrode 41 and the outer electrode 42 which are connected and fixed one by one and arranged on the same radiation 44. Connected and fixed.

この状態では、第一の検出部21aが有する検出器23aは、隣接する検出器23aの測定孔31が対面されて測定孔31が連通するように対面してプリント配線板25の同一面上に立設され、また、第二の検出部22aが有する検出器23aも、隣接する検出器23aの測定孔31が対面されて測定孔31が連通するように対面してプリント配線板25の同一面上に立設されており、各検出器23aは、プリント配線板25に固定されている。   In this state, the detectors 23a of the first detection unit 21a face each other such that the measurement holes 31 of the adjacent detectors 23a face each other and the measurement holes 31 communicate with each other on the same surface of the printed wiring board 25. The detectors 23a of the second detection unit 22a are also erected and face each other such that the measurement holes 31 of the adjacent detectors 23a face each other and the measurement holes 31 communicate with each other, and the same surface of the printed wiring board 25 Each of the detectors 23a is fixed to the printed wiring board 25.

各検出器23aの内側電極41に接続された部分を内側端、外側電極42に接続された部分を外側端とすると、プリント配線板25に設けられた内部配線43により、検出器23aの内側端は隣接する検出器23aの外側端に接続されており、各検出器23aのループ部32はプリント配線板25に立設されていることから、検出器23aと内部配線43とによって同じ方向に巻き回された螺旋状の巻線が形成されている。   Assuming that the portion connected to the inner electrode 41 of each detector 23a is the inner end and the portion connected to the outer electrode 42 is the outer end, the inner wiring 43 provided on the printed wiring board 25 makes the inner end of the detector 23a Is connected to the outer end of the adjacent detector 23a, and since the loop portion 32 of each detector 23a is erected on the printed wiring board 25, it is wound in the same direction by the detector 23a and the internal wiring 43. A wound spiral winding is formed.

各検出器23aは、同じ巻線を構成する検出器23aの測定孔31が連通するように配置されており、連通する測定孔31によって巻線の空芯が形成されている。ケーブル孔36に挿入された内部導体から成る導電線15に電流が流れ、導電線15を中心とした円形の磁束が形成されると、その磁束の一部は空芯を構成する測定孔31を貫通し、磁束が貫通した測定孔31を有する各検出器23aに起電力が発生する。   The respective detectors 23a are arranged such that the measurement holes 31 of the detectors 23a constituting the same winding communicate with each other, and an open core of the winding is formed by the communicating measurement holes 31. When a current flows through the conductive wire 15 composed of the inner conductor inserted in the cable hole 36 and a circular magnetic flux around the conductive wire 15 is formed, a part of the magnetic flux forms the measurement hole 31 forming an air core. An electromotive force is generated in each detector 23a having the measurement hole 31 which penetrates and the magnetic flux penetrates.

同じ巻線の各検出器23aは、各検出器23aに発生した起電力が打ち消し合わずに加算されるように直列接続されており、増幅された各検出器23aの起電力を合計した合計起電力は第一の接続電極46と第二の接続電極47との間に現れる。   The detectors 23a of the same winding are connected in series so that the electromotive forces generated in the detectors 23a are added without canceling each other, and the total electromotive force obtained by summing the electromotive forces of the amplified detectors 23a is added. Electrical power appears between the first connection electrode 46 and the second connection electrode 47.

第一、第二の外部配線27、28はプリント配線板25上で延設され、一方の外部配線が電圧出力端子に接続され、他方の外部配線は終端回路24を介して接地電位に接続されている。第一の外部配線27は電圧端子に接続され、第二の外部配線28は終端回路24を介して接地電位に接続されており、接続された終端回路24の内部回路の構成によって、第一、第二の検出部21a、22aの一方が導電線15を流れる進行波を検出し、他方が導電線15を流れる反射波を検出し、進行波の大きさを示す信号と、反射波の大きさを示す信号とを別々の電圧端子から取り出せるようになっている。電圧端子の電圧が電圧端子に接続されたアナログICや作動増幅器等の検出装置によって取り出されると、進行波や反射波の大きさが求められ、求めた大きさをディスプレイ等に表示することができる。
上記の検出器23aは剛性を有する金属板によって構成されていることから、変形による電気的特性の変化が無いようになっている。
The first and second external wirings 27 and 28 are extended on the printed wiring board 25, one external wiring is connected to the voltage output terminal, and the other external wiring is connected to the ground potential via the termination circuit 24. ing. The first external wiring 27 is connected to the voltage terminal, and the second external wiring 28 is connected to the ground potential via the termination circuit 24. Depending on the configuration of the internal circuit of the termination circuit 24 connected, One of the second detectors 21a and 22a detects a traveling wave flowing through the conductive wire 15, and the other detects a reflected wave flowing through the conductive wire 15, and a signal indicating the magnitude of the traveling wave and the magnitude of the reflected wave And a signal representing the signal can be taken out from separate voltage terminals. When the voltage at the voltage terminal is taken out by a detection device such as an analog IC or an operational amplifier connected to the voltage terminal, the magnitudes of the traveling wave and the reflected wave are determined, and the determined magnitude can be displayed on a display or the like. .
Since the above-mentioned detector 23a is formed of a rigid metal plate, there is no change in electrical characteristics due to deformation.

従来技術では、プリント配線板の表面と裏面に形成した金属配線とスルーホールに充填した金属充填物とで、巻線を形成することができるが、その巻線の芯はプリント配線板を構成する樹脂になる。樹脂の誘電率は温度によって大きく変動するため、プリント配線板を芯にした巻線は電気特性が温度によって大きく変動する。
本発明の方向性結合器10aでは、検出器23aと内部配線43とで構成された巻線の芯は空気なので、巻線の電気特性は温度変化の影響を受けないで済む。
In the prior art, a winding can be formed by the metal wiring formed on the front and back of the printed wiring board and the metal filling filled in the through hole, but the core of the winding constitutes the printed wiring board Become a resin. Since the dielectric constant of the resin largely fluctuates depending on the temperature, the winding centered on the printed wiring board largely fluctuates in electrical characteristics depending on the temperature.
In the directional coupler 10a of the present invention, since the core of the winding formed of the detector 23a and the internal wiring 43 is air, the electrical characteristics of the winding do not need to be affected by the temperature change.

図7は、常温を基準としたときの、温度と検出信号ゲイン変動との関係を示すグラフであり、図8は、常温を基準としたときの、温度と検出信号フェーズ変動との関係を示すグラフである。   FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between temperature and detection signal gain fluctuation when using normal temperature as a standard, and FIG. 8 shows the relationship between temperature and detection signal phase fluctuation when using normal temperature as a reference It is a graph.

図7、8から、検出信号ゲイン変動と検出信号フェーズ変動について、従来技術の方向性結合器の特性は温度の影響が大きいのに対し、本願発明の方向性結合器の特性は、温度変化による影響が無いと言える。   From FIGS. 7 and 8, the characteristics of the directional coupler of the prior art with respect to the detection signal gain fluctuation and the detection signal phase fluctuation are largely affected by the temperature, while the characteristics of the directional coupler of the present invention are due to the temperature change.

このように配置した場合は、同じ面に第一、第二の検出部21a、22aを配置する場合に比べて第一、第二の検出部21b、22bに設ける検出器23aの個数を増加させることができるので、検出感度が向上する。   When arranged in this manner, the number of detectors 23a provided in the first and second detection units 21b and 22b is increased as compared to the case where the first and second detection units 21a and 22a are arranged on the same surface. Detection sensitivity is improved.

なお、図4の連結用電極部40の配置方向は時計回りの方向であったが、終端回路24の内容により、第一の検出部21aの配置方向と第二の検出部22aの配置方向は同じ方向であってもよいし、互いに逆方向であってもよい。   Although the arrangement direction of the connection electrode unit 40 in FIG. 4 is a clockwise direction, the arrangement direction of the first detection unit 21a and the arrangement direction of the second detection unit 22a depend on the contents of the termination circuit 24. The directions may be the same or opposite to each other.

また、上記検出器23aでは、接続部33は外側向きであったが、図3(b)のように、ループ部32の両端に内側向きの接続部34が設けられた検出器23bを用いることもできる。検出器23a、23bは、厚み0.1mm以上、幅0.3mm以上の金属板を曲げることにより巻線を構成させることができる。また、金属以外の電導体を用いることもできる。   Further, in the above-mentioned detector 23a, although the connection portion 33 is directed outward, as shown in FIG. 3B, it is preferable to use the detector 23b provided with inward connection portions 34 at both ends of the loop portion 32.
