Embodiment
For make above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention done further detailed explanation.
One of core idea of the embodiment of the invention is through choosing suitable historical data sample, and then constructs than prior art forecast model more accurately, to obtain preferable precision of prediction, improves the production rate; Simultaneously can also select the Different control scheme for use according to different processes standard and control accuracy.
The present invention can be applied in the process control of multiple semiconductor technology; Because the control of the terminal time of etching technics is a gordian technique in the semi-conductor chip production; Relatively more typical; Therefore, in the instructions of this patent, be that example describes with this technology, be used for control but can not limit the present invention to other technologies.
With reference to figure 1, show the embodiment 1 of a kind of process control method of the present invention, specifically can may further comprise the steps:
Step 101, choose the historical data sample under the current technology, said historical data sample comprises the spectral intensity data and the parameter to be predicted of etching technics;
Because in technology controlling and process, be very important for the control of terminal time, therefore, general parameter said to be predicted can comprise terminal time, perhaps said parameter to be predicted comprises simultaneously and keeps terminal time and etch rate.
Need to prove that choosing and pre-service of historical process data is the most important condition that makes up forecast model.The rationality that historical data is chosen can have influence on the accuracy and the validity of constructed forecast model to a certain extent, provides several factors that need consideration below: the rationality of (1) data sample size, definite data volume that makes up forecast model; (2) consistance of data sample type for example, is necessary for the data of same process; (3) standard normalization of data sample.
In one embodiment of the invention; Chosen following data sample (because sample data is more here; Just do not show one by one in this patent; And do not enumerate out the numerical value of concrete spectral intensity data), the form of data file is as shown in table 1, and (wherein, data type ME is meant: the main etching step in the etching technics).
Table 1
Figure G2008102398338D00051
Figure G2008102398338D00061
Step 102, the said historical data sample of foundation, making up with the spectral intensity data is input variable, is the forecast model of output variable with parameter to be predicted;
Pre-service to historical data can be accomplished in step 101, also can in step 102, accomplish.For example, the process that makes up forecast model described in the step 102 can comprise the standard normal step to historical data sample, and the step of setting up regression equation (forecast model a kind of).Said standard normal step can be used for choosing suitable sample data from raw sample data, to be used in the sample data conformance with standard normal distribution that makes up forecast model.
Be the process that regression equation is set up in the example explanation below with the multiple linear regression method.
At first, can the spectral intensity signal of etching technics in the sample data be formed a matrix, as the input variable in the equation; The variable of then needs in the etching technics being predicted (as, terminal time and etch rate) as output variable, adopt the method for multiple linear regression to set up multiple linear regression equations at last about input variable and output variable.Because the method for multiple linear regression is known mathematical method, therefore, repeat no more at this with theoretical for its principle.
Concrete, if establishing Y is output variable, X 1, X 2..., X 7Be 7 input variables having confirmed, a 1, a 2..., a 7Be regression coefficient, the form of multiple linear regression equations can be expressed as so in the present embodiment:
Y=a 1*X 1+…+a 7*X 7
According to the historical process data in the table 1, adopt the method for multiple linear regression to calculate regression coefficient, set up under the corresponding process conditions regression equation, as follows: T=-0.72368X about process endpoint time and etch rate 1-0.18118X 2-0.64976X 3+ 0.90223X 4+ 0.33379X 5-0.6455X 6+ 1.3278X 7R=(B-A)/T
Wherein, T is that the process endpoint function of time, R are that etch rate function, A are thicknesses of layers and the preceding thicknesses of layers of B silicon chip erosion behind the silicon chip erosion.
Need to prove that above-mentioned regression equation only is an example, those skilled in the art can through mathematical analysis, adopt other forms of multiple linear regression equations according to practical situations and accuracy requirement, can't enumerate one by one at this.
Step 103, based on above-mentioned forecast model, this technological process is controlled.
Owing to set up more accurate forecast model in the step 102; Promptly can predict terminal time and the etch rate of this technology more accurately, therefore, based on above-mentioned forecast model; Just can this technological process carry out preferable control, improve the production rate.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, also can adopt other matches (recurrence) method to set up corresponding mathematical model and The regression equation.Simply say, so-called " match " be meant known certain function some discrete function values f1, f2 ..., fn}, through adjust some undetermined coefficient f in this function (λ 1, and λ 2 ..., λ 3), make difference (least square meaning) minimum of this function and known point set.
Concrete, can be a data points with the spectral intensity data processing of etching technics in the historical data sample, as the input variable in the equation; Then with the variable (for example, terminal time and etch rate) that needs prediction in the etching technics as corresponding output variable, adopt the method for match (recurrence) to set up the The regression equation of input variable and output variable at last.Like this, this The regression equation can be used to predict the terminal time and the etch rate of this technology equally.
Match and homing method are from be identical in essence, and match can be divided into linearity and fit (linear regression) and non-linear fitting (non-linear regression).Wherein, linear regression (match) is meant between the match variable it is linear relationship (linear function), and common linear regression method has: linear least-squares returns (OLS), multiple linear regression (MVR) and pivot recurrence (PCR) etc.Nonlinear fitting (recurrence) is meant between the match variable it is nonlinear relationship (secondary and above funtcional relationship), and common non-linear regression has fitting of a polynomial (match of monobasic high order), nonlinear least square fitting.For example,
Multiple linear regression: Y=a 0+ a 1x 1+ ... + a kx k
Fitting of a polynomial: Y=a 0+ a 1T+a 2t 2+ ... + a kt k
The present invention can select to adopt above-mentioned feasible match (recurrence) method arbitrarily based on historical data.Certainly, in these matches (recurrence) method, possibly there is the difference on the effect.

The terminal time that step 304, foundation are predicted carries out technology controlling and process;
Step 305, the spectral intensity data of gathering this technology get into the historical data sample storehouse, adjust said forecast model in real time.
Embodiment 4
Embodiment 4 has provided more preferred concrete control procedure, and its preferred part mainly is to carry out feedforward control according to the terminal time that the terminal time of being predicted is monitored line endpoint monitoring equipment, to obtain more optimal terminal time.This process control method embodiment can may further comprise the steps (with reference to Fig. 4):
Step 401, choose the historical data sample under the current technology, said historical data sample comprises the spectral intensity data and the parameter to be predicted of etching technics;
Step 402, the said historical data sample of foundation, making up with the spectral intensity data is input variable, is the forecast model of output variable with parameter to be predicted;
Step 403, utilize the real time spectrum intensity data of this technology, the said forecast model of substitution, prediction obtains the terminal time of this technology;
Step 404, the terminal time of online endpoint monitoring equipment being monitored according to the terminal time of being predicted carry out feedforward control, with the terminal time of resulting optimization, carry out technology controlling and process;
Step 405, the spectral intensity data of gathering this technology get into the historical data sample storehouse, adjust said forecast model in real time.
Concrete, with reference to Fig. 5, can obtain more optimal terminal time through following process:
The terminal time that step 501, the terminal time of relatively being predicted and online endpoint monitoring equipment are monitored;
If the gap of step 502 between the two then adopts less in two a terminal times optimization terminal time as this technology less than 3 times standard deviation sigma, carry out technology controlling and process;
If the gap of step 503 between the two, then directly adopts the terminal time the predicted optimization terminal time as this technology more than or equal to 3 times standard deviation sigma, carry out technology controlling and process.
Wherein, standard deviation sigma is calculated by historical data sample, is used to reflect the fluctuation situation of terminal time under the normal process.When the gap between terminal time of being predicted and the online terminal time of monitoring during smaller or equal to 3 times standard deviation sigma; Explain that then current spectral intensity data are normal; Do not receive improper interference; Thereby adopt less in two terminal times one to carry out technology controlling and process, so that guarantee not can over etching; And, explain that then current spectral intensity data possibly receive excessive interference when gap during greater than 3 times standard deviation sigma, there is a strong possibility is wrong for these data, thereby directly adopt the terminal time of being predicted to carry out technology controlling and process.
Need to prove that 3 times of standard deviation sigma among Fig. 5 only are examples, those skilled in the art can select other multiples or other threshold values according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not need this to limit.
Adopt the historical data (as shown in table 1) of many group etching technics that the forecast model among the embodiment 1 is checked in this patent, it is as shown in table 2 to obtain the result; Contrast the fitting of a polynomial homing method simultaneously and set up the different predicting model, dope process endpoint time and etch rate respectively, concrete outcome such as Fig. 6, shown in Figure 7.Fig. 6 is the prediction comparison diagram of terminal time, and Fig. 7 is the prediction comparison diagram of etch rate.In Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the curve of asterisk point is an actual value, and the curve of circle points is the predicted value of MVR, the predicted value that the curve of square dot obtains for the fitting of a polynomial homing method.
Can draw from result of calculation: the method for the multiple linear regression based on historical data that the present invention adopted (MVR) obviously is superior to the fitting of a polynomial homing method; Parameter prediction degree of accuracy for etching technics is very high; The relative error of process endpoint time is 0.14%, and the relative error of etch rate is 0.19%.It is that to set up the raw sample data amount of model insufficient that there is the main cause of error in analysis, so along with the continuous increase of process data, multiple linear regression model will be constantly optimised, thereby can reach higher precision of prediction.
