Description

一种化学机械抛光工艺中确定研磨时间的方法 A Method for Determining Grinding Time in Chemical Mechanical Polishing Process

技术领域 technical field

本发明属于芯片制造领域,涉及化学机械抛光工艺,尤其涉及一种化学机械抛光工艺中确定研磨时间的方法。The invention belongs to the field of chip manufacturing and relates to a chemical mechanical polishing process, in particular to a method for determining the grinding time in the chemical mechanical polishing process.

背景技术 Background technique

硅片制造涉及薄膜的淀积和生长工艺,以及之后形成器件和内部互连结构所需的多次图形制作。先进的IC需要至少6层或更多的金属布线层,每层之间由层间介质(inter-layer-dielectric,简称ILD)隔开。建立器件结构和多层内连接线会很自然地在层之间形成台阶。表面起伏描述了这种生产过程中出现的不平整的硅片表面。层数增加时,硅片的表面起伏将更加显著,而一个可接受的台阶覆盖和间隙填充对于芯片的成品率和长期可靠性是至关重要的。Silicon wafer fabrication involves the deposition and growth of thin films, followed by the multiple patterning required to form devices and interconnect structures. Advanced ICs require at least 6 or more metal wiring layers, with each layer separated by an inter-layer-dielectric (ILD). Building device structures and multilayer interconnects naturally create steps between layers. Surface relief describes the uneven silicon wafer surface that occurs during this production process. Wafer surface relief becomes more pronounced as the number of layers increases, and an acceptable step coverage and gap fill is critical to chip yield and long-term reliability.

自20世纪90年代中期以来,化学机械平坦化(Chemical MechanicalPlanarization,简称CMP)成为实现多层金属技术的主要平坦化技术。CMP通常也被称为化学机械抛光或抛光,它在光学镜片抛光和硅片生产中的硅片抛光领域应用了很多年。20世纪80年代后期,IBM发展了CMP技术,并将其应用于制造工艺中对半导体硅片的平坦化。Since the mid-1990s, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) has become the main planarization technology for multilayer metal technology. CMP is also commonly referred to as chemical mechanical polishing or polishing, and it has been used for many years in the field of optical lens polishing and silicon wafer polishing in silicon wafer production. In the late 1980s, IBM developed CMP technology and applied it to the planarization of semiconductor silicon wafers in the manufacturing process.

CMP技术是一种表面全局平坦化技术,它通过硅片和一个抛光头之间的相对运动来平坦化硅片表面,在硅片和抛光头之间有磨料,并同时施加压力。CMP technology is a global surface planarization technology, which flattens the surface of the silicon wafer through the relative movement between the silicon wafer and a polishing head, with abrasives between the silicon wafer and the polishing head, and applying pressure at the same time.

然而,现有的化学机械抛光工艺中存在着不足之处。现有的化学机械抛光工艺中,抛光设备针对每批硅片的研磨时间是通过自动处理系统(APC系统)反馈给抛光设备研磨时间来完成这一研磨过程的。APC系统通过上一批产品的研磨参数来决定下一批产品应得到的时间;通常,一批硅片为25片。所述APC系统通过上述抛光设备最近若干批硅片的研磨参数来确定下一批硅片的研磨时间;所述研磨参数包括最近m批硅片各自的研磨时间T(n)、T(n-1)、T(n-2)、……、T(n-m+1),其中T(n)为第n批硅片的研磨时间、即最近一批硅片的研磨时间、即倒数第一批硅片的研磨时间,T(n-m+1)为倒数第m批硅片的研磨时间。However, there are deficiencies in the existing chemical mechanical polishing process. In the existing chemical mechanical polishing process, the grinding time of the polishing equipment for each batch of silicon wafers is fed back to the polishing equipment through the automatic processing system (APC system) to complete the grinding process. The APC system determines when the next batch of products should be obtained by the grinding parameters of the previous batch of products; usually, a batch of silicon wafers is 25 pieces. The APC system determines the grinding time of the next batch of silicon wafers through the grinding parameters of the recent batches of silicon wafers of the above-mentioned polishing equipment; the grinding parameters include the respective grinding times T(n) and T(n- 1), T(n-2), ..., T(n-m+1), where T(n) is the grinding time of the nth batch of silicon wafers, that is, the grinding time of the latest batch of silicon wafers, that is, the penultimate The grinding time of a batch of silicon wafers, T(n-m+1) is the grinding time of the last m batch of silicon wafers.

计算公式为:下一件硅片的研磨时间T(n+1)=T(n)*i+T(n-1)*i*(1-i)+T(n-2)*i*(1-i)2+……+T(n-m+1)*i*(1-i)m-1,其中i<1,m≥2,n>m,m及n为整数。The calculation formula is: grinding time of the next silicon wafer T(n+1)=T(n)*i+T(n-1)*i*(1-i)+T(n-2)*i* (1-i) 2 +...+T(n-m+1)*i*(1-i) m-1 , wherein i<1, m≥2, n>m, m and n are integers.

这种计算方法忽略了每天CMP机台研磨速率的变化和差异,如果机台的研磨速率比平时大,则相应的研磨时间就应该适当的减小;尤其当同一类产品很多天没有研磨的时候,这种反馈更加不精确。This calculation method ignores the changes and differences in the grinding rate of CMP machines every day. If the grinding rate of the machine is higher than usual, the corresponding grinding time should be appropriately reduced; especially when the same type of product has not been ground for many days. , this feedback is more imprecise.

请参阅图1,本发明确定研磨时间的方法包括以下步骤:Please refer to Fig. 1, the method that the present invention determines grinding time comprises the following steps:

A、获取最近m批硅片各自的研磨时间T(n)、T(n-1)、T(n-2)、……、T(n-m+1),其中T(n)、T(n-1)、T(n-2)、……、T(n-m+1)为最近m批硅片各自的研磨时间,其中T(n)为第n批硅片的研磨时间、即最近一批硅片的研磨时间、即倒数第一批硅片的研磨时间,T(n-m+1)为倒数第m批硅片的研磨时间;A.

步骤D、确定下一批硅片的研磨时间T(n+1)=T1/K,即T(n+1)=[T(n)*0.8+T(n-1)*0.8*(1-0.8)+T(n-2)*0.8*(1-0.8)2+……+T(n-19)*0.8*(1-0.8)19]/(Rt/R20)。Step D, determine the grinding time T(n+1)=T1/K of the next batch of silicon wafers, that is, T(n+1)=[T(n)*0.8+T(n-1)*0.8*(1 -0.8)+T(n-2)*0.8*(1-0.8) 2 +...+T(n-19)*0.8*(1-0.8) 19 ]/(Rt/R 20 ).

当然,上述参数仅是本发明一个实施例中的参数,本发明所保护的范围并不被限制于上述参数的范围。如,修正系数K可以在[Rt/R20-0.3,Rt/R20+0.3]的范围内,如K=Rt/R20-0.2或K=Rt/R20-0.1或K=Rt/R20+0.1或K=Rt/R20+0.2;m可以为大于3的其他值,如m=5或m=15或m=30或m=50或m=100或m=120;i可以选择[0.5,1)的其他值,如i=0.5或i=0.5或i=0.6或i=0.7或i=0.75或i=0.85或i=0.9。Of course, the above parameters are only parameters in one embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope of the above parameters. For example, the correction coefficient K can be in the range of [Rt/R 20 -0.3, Rt/R 20 +0.3], such as K=Rt/R 20 -0.2 or K=Rt/R 20 -0.1 or K=Rt/R 20 +0.1 or K=Rt/R 20 +0.2; m can be other values greater than 3, such as m=5 or m=15 or m=30 or m=50 or m=100 or m=120; i can be selected Other values of [0.5, 1), such as i=0.5 or i=0.5 or i=0.6 or i=0.7 or i=0.75 or i=0.85 or i=0.9.

实施例二Embodiment two

本实施例与实施例一的区别在于,本实施例中,上述关系式中的参数取值为:m=30,i=0.75,K=Rt/R30。因而,下一批硅片的研磨时间T(n+1)=[T(n)*0.75+T(n-1)*0.75*(1-0.75)+T(n-2)*0.75*(1-0.75)2+……+T(n-29)*0.75*(1-0.75)29]/(Rt/R30)。The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the values of the parameters in the above relational formula are: m=30, i=0.75, K=Rt/R 30 . Therefore, the grinding time T(n+1) of the next batch of silicon wafers=[T(n)*0.75+T(n-1)*0.75*(1-0.75)+T(n-2)*0.75*( 1-0.75) 2 +...+T(n-29)*0.75*(1-0.75) 29 ]/(Rt/R 30 ).

以上实施例仅用以说明而非限制本发明的技术方案。如,确定下一批硅片的模糊研磨时间T1可以采用其他方式。不脱离本发明精神和范围的任何修改或局部替换,均应涵盖在本发明的权利要求范围当中。The above embodiments are only used to illustrate rather than limit the technical solution of the present invention. For example, other methods may be used to determine the fuzzy grinding time T1 of the next batch of silicon wafers. Any modification or partial replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
