The first action path 10 may be communicated with a second action path 20 via a tube 30, at least part of the material to be measured comes from the second action path 20 via the tube 30, and the spectrum in the tube 30 is detected by the detecting unit 11. In an example, at least part of the material to be measured may be in the plasma state, and the spectrum may be the spectrum of the light emitted by the material in the plasma state. The spectrum in the tube 30 is detected by the detecting unit 11. After the processing unit 12 obtaining the spectrum, the processing unit 12 may obtain the information, for example but not limited to the intensity, the wavelength, the full width at half maximum (FWHM), etc. in order to obtain the deposition state relating to the material to be measured.

It shall be noted that the material to be measured along with another and the other material as mentioned above may exist in the same action path without reacting, and the reaction will be performed until achieving a workpiece.


The first action path 10 as mentioned above may be communicated with a throttling valve 13, a vacuum pump 14 and a gas purifier 15, etc. Following a reaction material is released or reduced in appropriate amount by the second action path 20 in accordance with the deposition state relating to the material to be measured, a deposition operation of the material will be performed in the first action path 10 through the tube 30.

Furthermore, a deposition process may be observed and/or controlled on time by the present invention, therefore the yield and degree of automation can be greatly improved.


The present invention may be applied to all device and/or any apparatus which require measuring of gas deposition state, including but not limited to physical vapor deposition device, chemical vapor deposition device, etching device and any other relevant device in the semiconductor, photoelectric, panel industries and any other relevant industry. The present invention may also be directly disposed in a remote plasma source device. In addition, the present invention may also be applied in any inspection examination device in the biotechnology, chemistry, applied physics industries and any other relevant industry. Furtherly, the present invention may also be applied to any inspection apparatus or testing platform in the equipment maintenance industry for any of the foregoing industries.


Please refer to FIG. 4A, a device measuring a physical state of a material of the present invention furtherly comprises a display unit 16 at least displaying a related data including the spectrum, a related data of the deposition state or the combination thereof. Wired transmission, wireless transmission, or a combination thereof may be performed by at least one communication unit 17 between the processing unit 12 of a device 1 measuring a physical state of a material by spectrum and the detecting unit 11, the display unit 16 or at least the combination thereof. The communication unit 17 may be contained in the device 1 measuring a physical state of a material by spectrum, or be independent to the device I measuring a physical state of a material by spectrum as shown in FIG. 4B.


Each state of one of elements of the device 1 measuring a physical state of a material by spectrum may also be displayed by the display unit 16. The types of the display unit 16 may include and not be limited particularly to liquid crystal displayer (LCD), electronic paper, light signal, micro light emitting diode displayer (micro LED), quantum dot displayer (QLED), organic light emitting displayer (OLED) or mechanical displayer (such as flipped display board, etc.). Additionally, the backlight source of the liquid crystal displayer (LCD) may be a light emitting diode (LED) or a micro light emitting diode (micro LED). Besides the displayers as mentioned above, the display unit 16 may also include a notification module (not shown in Figures), such that a notification signal may be output through different signal types (such as audio, light, etc.) by the display unit 16. In the above implementation aspect, an information such as “the default state of dissociation gas is 20 ppm”, “the actual state is 18 ppm”, “the theoretical state is 20 mg”, “the adjustment parameter is 2 mg”, etc. can be displayed by the display unit 16.


For example but not limited to, when an internal volume of the first action path 10 is 1 ml and when there is default dissociated gas 20 ppm contained in the first action path 10, the dissociated gas 20 mg (e.g. the theoretical state) is commanded to be injected into the first action path 10 by the processing unit 12, such that there will be the dissociated gas 20 ppm (e.g. the default state) contained in the first action path 10 for an usage of related process (such as reaction chamber cleaning, thin film etching, plasma-assisted deposition etc.). Detected by the detecting unit 11, an actual detection result of the dissociated gas in the first action path 10 is 18 ppm (e.g. the actual state), and this presents that an usage of the dissociated gas is continued to be in the process. Following a detected result of the dissociated gas received by the processing unit 12 is 18 ppm, and comparing a difference between 18 ppm and 20 ppm (e.g. calculating a difference between the actual state and the default state of the dissociated gas), then the processing unit 12 may obtain a result that 2 ppm (e.g. adjustment parameter) of the dissociated gas shall be supplied to the first action path 10 such that the dissociated gas in the first action path 10 may achieve the theoretical state of 20 ppm (to finish the reaction). Subsequently, following an user obtains a gas state data of the dissociated gas through such as a report and/or a light, he may input a command to the processing unit 12 manually, such that the dissociated gas can be continued to be injected into the first action path 10 (e.g. the theoretical state) by the processing unit 12, therefore the dissociated gas in the first action path 10 will be 20 ppm (e.g. the default state). Following an injecting, until the dissociated gas in the first action path 10 is detected by the detecting unit 11 as 20 ppm (e.g. the actual state), a theoretical state value to make the first action path 10 contain 20 ppm of dissociated gas will be completed, which means the process reaction shall be completed, and that the gas will not be required to inject into the first action path 10.


Additionally, a device measuring a physical state of a material by spectrum 1 further comprises a controlling unit 18 connected to the processing unit 12, in order to replace the processing unit 12 to control a reaction condition (for example but not limited to a switch of supply, quantity, temperature, pressure, supply of precursor, supply of catalyst, etc. of the material and/or another or the other material to be measured) of the material and/or another or the other material to be measured based on the spectrum variation of the material and/or another or the other material to be measured. The processing unit 12 may be connected to the controlling unit 18 directly or indirectly. The controlling unit 18 may be a chip, a processor, a mechanical computer, a circuit and/or a microprocessor, etc., and the connection may be a connection method capable of transmit a signal or an instruction, such as an electrical connection, a quantum coupling (quantum entanglement) and/or an optical connection, etc.

  • 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the deposition state of the material to be measured is reached a certain level when an intensity of the spectrum of the other material in the plasma state is higher than or lower than a threshold.
  • 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the reaction condition comprises a switch of supply, quantity, temperature, pressure, supply of precursor, supply of catalyst of the material to be measured.
