Embodiment
Can know that from the background technology description process abnormality in the ic manufacturing process possibly cause that the k value of low k dielectric (like intermetallic dielectric layer) changes.Its main failure phenomenon is: the k value of metal interlamination medium layer reduces, and makes its decreasing insulating, and causes the inefficacy of device electrical insulation capability.
K value reduction along with low k dielectric; Chemical bond in its structure between the atom is weakened, and such as in black diamond (black diamond) material, the Si-C key of porous SiOCH thin layer will trend towards instability; Its porosity characteristic will be enhanced; It is loose that structure is tending towards, and compares with the normal low k dielectric that did not lose efficacy, and structure is easier to be destroyed.
The present invention utilizes above-mentioned chemical characteristic; Adopt the FIB cutting of special parameter condition to carry out sample preparation with the double-beam system (Dual Beam FIB) that the auxiliary electron bundle scans; Amplify the porosity characteristic of the low k dielectric after losing efficacy; The enhancing that obtains porosity characteristic shows pattern, and compares with the pattern that did not lose efficacy, thereby loses efficacy judgement intuitively.
The failure analysis method of low k dielectric of the present invention is as shown in Figure 1, and basic procedure comprises:
S1, low k dielectric is adopted cutting of FIB fixed point and the preparation of auxiliary electron bundle scanning carrying out film sample;
When wherein the cutting of FIB fixed point is with the scanning of auxiliary electron bundle; The energy of ion beam and electron beam is for destroying the critical value of the low k dielectric pattern that did not lose efficacy, and the low k dielectric that did not promptly lose efficacy is in sample making course; Its structure and morphology, molecular arrangement etc. can't receive the influence of FIB or auxiliary electron bundle; The low k dielectric that lost efficacy is because the k value descends short texture; Will be focused ion beam and auxiliary electron bundle and destroy the part chemical constitution, thereby amplify its porosity characteristic.
Said auxiliary electron bundle scanning follows the cutting of FIB fixed point to carry out simultaneously; When promptly adopting FIB cutting sample; The auxiliary electron bundle scans the cutting position of FIB; Obtain the pattern information of relevant position, guarantee the accuracy of FIB cutting position, improve sample preparation efficient; The thermal effect that while auxiliary electron bundle produces when sample surfaces scans also can further be strengthened the porosity characteristic of amplifying the low k dielectric sample.
Optional, said ion beam can adopt ion gun to comprise Ga ion, In ion etc.
S2, film sample is carried out transmission electron microscope imaging;
Wherein, the contrast picture that three-dimensional scattered information obtains sample topography takes place through the atom and the transmission sample of electron beam bump target sample according to electron beam in transmission electron microscope, so the thickness of film sample is unsuitable excessive.
Need carry out transmission electron microscope imaging after this external film sample prepares immediately, influence image quality with the diffusion that prevents interconnecting metal such as Cu around the low k dielectric.
S3, the material pattern that imaging obtains according to said transmission electron microscope, the judgement of losing efficacy.
The foundation that said inefficacy is judged is: if the smooth densification of the pattern of film sample, then said low k dielectric did not lose efficacy; If the pattern porosity and looseness of film sample, then said low k dielectric lost efficacy.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, failure analysis method according to the invention is done further introduction.
As shown in Figure 2, be the sectional structure chart of the circuit devcie that includes low k dielectric, more specifically, be the schematic cross-section that adopts the IC chip comb shaped interconnect wire system of low k dielectric, comprising:
Following dielectric layer 10, upper dielectric layer 20 and at the pectination metal interconnecting wires 30 between dielectric layer 10 and the upper dielectric layer 20 down.
Wherein, said dielectric layer 10 down and upper dielectric layer 20 include the silicon oxynitride cap 101 on fsg film 100 and surface thereof; Fill low k dielectric between the said pectination metal interconnecting wires 30 and form intermetallic dielectric layer 40.
The object of the required detection of failure analysis method of low k dielectric according to the invention, promptly intermetallic dielectric layer 40, and in the present embodiment, the material that said intermetallic dielectric layer 40 is selected for use is a black diamond, i.e. porosity characteristic SiOCH membraneous material.
At first, according to definite technological parameters such as the material of the required low k dielectric that carries out failure analysis and specific inductive capacity inefficacy critical values.
Usually in the transmission electron microscope imaging, the film sample thickness of preparation is not more than 100nm, and the sample preparation zone is the square panel region of length of side 5um~6um.In the intermetallic dielectric layer 40 of normal employing low k dielectric; K value size depends on the needs of manufacturing process; In 90nm to 65nm technology; The k value standard of normal intermetallic dielectric layer 40 is about 3.0, and after getting into inferior 65nm technology, the k value standard of normal intermetallic dielectric layer 40 is reduced to 2.7.Therefore judge that whether intermetallic dielectric layer 40 lost efficacy, need to confirm in advance the inefficacy critical value of specific inductive capacity.
After said specific inductive capacity inefficacy critical value is determined; The chemical property of intermetallic dielectric layer 40 was not fixed yet when then losing efficacy; Can obtain the destruction critical value of the required ion energy of material pattern of intermetallic dielectric layer 40 that do not lose efficacy through experiment, and further confirm the parameter condition of cutting of FIB fixed point and auxiliary electron bundle scanning sample preparation.
Intermetallic dielectric layer 40 for different value of K; Its material and structure density there are differences; When therefore adopting the cutting of FIB fixed point with auxiliary electron bundle scanning sample preparation, desired ion beam accelerating voltage, ion beam current and beam voltage are also inequality.The dielectric material that the k value is higher generally, structure is fine and close, the above-mentioned parameter value that needs is higher; And the dielectric material that the k value is lower, structure is loose is also lower to the requirement of above-mentioned parameter value.
In order to have enough energy and stable ion gun, the employed ion gun of FIB can be Ga ion, In ion.In the present embodiment, adopt the Ga ion as ion gun.
Secondly, adopt above-mentioned definite technological parameter, use cutting of FIB fixed point and auxiliary electron bundle scanning preparation film sample, and the scanning of said auxiliary electron bundle follows the cutting of FIB fixed point to carry out simultaneously, to improve sample preparation efficient.
Because when the cutting of FIB fixed point scans with the auxiliary electron bundle; The energy of ion beam and electron beam is for destroying the needed critical value of material pattern of the intermetallic dielectric layer 40 that do not lose efficacy; Therefore for the film sample that did not lose efficacy; Prepare in the process at film sample, its structure and morphology can't change, and the shape characteristic when not losing efficacy is consistent; And for failed film sample, as shown in Figure 3, because the k value descends; The material of intermetallic dielectric layer 40 is loose, and the chemical bond of Si-C is weak in the SiOCH molecule, after cutting of FIB fixed point and the scanning of auxiliary electron bundle; The part molecular structure is destroyed; The porosity characteristic of intermetallic dielectric layer 40 will be exaggerated, and structure and morphology will change, and the shape characteristic when not losing efficacy is different.
Then, use transmission electron microscope that film sample is carried out to picture.
Because ic component is higher to the transmission electron microscope resolution requirement when micro-imaging; Transmission electron microscope needs higher accelerating potential when producing electron beam with the field radiation pattern; Obtain film sample pattern information everywhere; The pattern of all positions on the sample is information integrated, promptly can obtain the film sample pattern photo of complete intermetallic dielectric layer 40.
At last, according to resulting film sample pattern photo, carry out inefficacy mechanism and judge.Wherein judgment basis is: if the smooth densification of the pattern of film sample, the shape characteristic when not losing efficacy is consistent, and then said intermetallic dielectric layer 40 did not lose efficacy; If the pattern porosity and looseness of film sample, the shape characteristic when not losing efficacy is different, and then said intermetallic dielectric layer 40 had lost efficacy.Further,, can also use earlier the known intermetallic dielectric layer that did not lose efficacy 40 to make film samples, and through the transmission electron microscope imaging, with its pattern photo standard as a comparison for the judgement of more intuitively comparing effectively.
