Technical field
The present invention relates to the epitaxy technique in a kind of integrated circuit manufacturing, particularly relate to a kind of method of measurement of extent pattern drifting quantity.
Background technology
Pattern drifting (pattern shift) is a FAQs in the epitaxy technique, and it is meant that the figure (pattern) on the silicon chip (wafer) is subjected to displacement with respect to buried layer (buried layer) after the extension.Pattern drifting accurately makes troubles the location for usually the figure of subsequent technique.
See also Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the principle schematic of extent pattern drifting.What Fig. 1 (a) showed is the preceding silicon chip 10 of epitaxial growth, and a buried layer window 11 is arranged on the silicon chip 10, and the buried layer window is for 11 times a buried layer 12.Fig. 1 (b) shows is silicon chip 10 after the epitaxial growth, and an epitaxial loayer 20 is arranged on the silicon chip 10, and a buried layer window 21 is arranged on the epitaxial loayer 20, and the buried layer window 21 on the epitaxial loayer 20 is compared with the former buried layer window 11 on the silicon chip 10, and tangible skew has taken place.
In order to guarantee the accurate of subsequent optical carving technology, must know extent pattern drifting quantity, thereby skew is compensated.The measurement pattern drift value adopts paster method usually at present, and paster method is to stick half sheet silicon chip on the silicon chip with buried layer window, and then carries out epitaxy technique; After the epitaxial growth, the part that is touched by half sheet silicon chip is not because there is grown epitaxial layer, so pattern drifting does not take place; The part that is touched by half sheet silicon chip is not because grown epitaxial loayer, so pattern drifting has taken place; The microscope that use has a measurement function can be measured the drift value of epitaxial patterns.
The shortcoming of paster method has two: one, can't carry out paster on the monolithic stove, can only carry out on ladle furnace; The 2nd, the success rate of paster is extremely low on the ladle furnace, and the half sheet silicon chip that sticks often drops, and therefore must repeat repeatedly paster just might successfully carry out the measurement of pattern drifting quantity.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provide a kind of that can on the monolithic stove, realize, can once successful epitaxy technique in the method for measurement of pattern drifting quantity.
