Detailed description of the invention
Understandable for enabling the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage to become apparent from, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
Elaborating a lot of detail in the following description so that fully understanding the present invention, but the present invention can also adopt other to be different from alternate manner described here to be implemented, therefore the present invention is not by the restriction of following public specific embodiment.
Just as described in the background section, the channel region of prior art wafer includes one or more test device, and after chip being divided along channel region, the electrical property of chip there occurs great changes compared with before dividing, thus causing that chip cannot use, finally make whole wafer loss.
Through research, inventor finds that its Producing reason is in that: the material of the electric connection line of test device upper space includes copper, aluminum or albronze, the material of the dielectric layer below electric connection line is the silicon oxide adopting TEOS to be reaction source formation, owing to described silicon oxide is smaller with the bonding force of copper, aluminum or albronze, so causing that dielectric layer is poor with the cohesive of electric connection line.When chip being divided along channel region, inevitably cut described test device, owing to the cohesive of dielectric layer Yu electric connection line is poor, therefore to I haven't seen you for ages, generating portion comes off (peeling) to electric connection line, the electric connection line come off can sputter and enter in adjacent chip, the parts that should insulate in this chip Central Plains are made to achieve electrical connection, thus greatly changing the electrical property of chip.Because the detection to single separate chip cannot be realized, thus scrapping of all chips on this wafer being caused.Additionally, by the wafer after amplifying cutting it have also been discovered that: the electric connection line of the subregion upper surface that cut test device should stay all comes off, thus further demonstrating the correctness of the studies above.
For the problems referred to above, the invention provides a kind of test device and preparation method thereof, semiconductor device and preparation method thereof, the bonding force of dielectric layer and electric connection line is improved by increasing the mode of pseudo-contact hole in the dielectric layer, prevent the impact on chip electrical property that comes off of electric connection line in cutting process, qualified separate chip may finally be obtained.
It is described in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
With reference to shown in Fig. 2, present embodiment one embodiment provides a kind of test device, including:

Being positioned at the oxide layer 120 in described Semiconductor substrate 110, described oxide layer 120 is as channel layer;
Being positioned at the insulating barrier in described oxide layer 120, described insulating barrier includes first area 130 and second area 140;
It is positioned at the dielectric layer 150 on described insulating barrier, the material of described dielectric layer 150 is the silicon oxide adopting TEOS to be reaction source formation, described dielectric layer 150 includes metal plug (not shown) and pseudo-contact hole 160, and described second area 140 is at least corresponding with all of pseudo-contact hole 160;
It is positioned at the electric connection line 180 on described dielectric layer 150.
Compared with the test device shown in Fig. 1 in prior art, the present embodiment adds pseudo-contact hole 160 in dielectric layer 150, to improve the bonding force between dielectric layer 150 and electric connection layer 180;And adding insulating barrier between dielectric layer 150 and oxide layer 120, the electrical property to ensure test device does not change.
Described Semiconductor substrate 110 can be Silicon Wafer, it is also possible to being other semi-conducting materials, it is well known to those skilled in the art, and does not repeat them here.
The material of described oxide layer 120 can be silicon oxide, and described silicon oxide can adopt physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) (CVD) method or boiler tube method to be formed.Specifically, the thickness range of described oxide layer 120 can be but not limited to 200 angstroms ~ 800 angstroms.

The effect of described pseudo-contact hole 160 is in that to improve the bonding force between dielectric layer 150 and electric connection line 180.Owing to the material of electric connection line 180 includes copper, aluminum or albronze more, and tungsten and copper, aluminum or copper aluminum have bigger bonding force, and therefore the material of pseudo-contact hole 160 is mainly tungsten.
In order to ensure to cut in the process of described test device, electric connection line 180 will not fall off, the described upper surface area of pseudo-contact hole 160 needs more than or equal to 20% with the ratio of the upper surface area of whole dielectric layer 150, as: 20%, 30%, 50%, 80% or 95% etc., otherwise it is unable to reach the purpose preventing electric connection line 180 from coming off.Found by follow-up detection, when the upper surface area of described pseudo-contact hole 160 meets above-mentioned condition, by the wafer after amplifying cutting it appeared that the cut electric connection line testing the subregion upper surface that device should stay all exists, namely do not fall off;And the electrical property of separate chip is also without changing, it is possible to realize the function of correspondence well.It should be noted that the upper surface area of described whole dielectric layer 150 includes the upper surface area of described pseudo-contact hole 160 and the upper surface area of described metal plug simultaneously.

Specifically, the thickness of described first silicon oxide layer 171 can be but not limited to 100 angstroms ~ 200 angstroms, the thickness of silicon nitride layer 172 can be but not limited to 100 angstroms ~ 300 angstroms, the thickness of the second silicon oxide layer 173 can be but not limited to 100 angstroms ~ 3000 angstroms, the thickness of titanium layer 161 can be but not limited to 350 angstroms ~ 650 angstroms, and the thickness of titanium nitride layer 162 can be but not limited to 600 angstroms ~ 1000 angstroms.
