Embodiment
Referring to the drawings, accompanying drawing shows that the specific of theme claimed can be put into practice by way of illustration following detailed description Embodiment.Fully describe these embodiments in detail, put into practice so that those skilled in the art put into the theme.It is appreciated that can The spirit and scope changed the position of each key element in each open embodiment or configured without departing from theme claimed. Therefore, detailed description below does not have limiting meaning, and the scope of theme is only connected by the appended claims suitably explained Defined with the four corner of the authorized equivalent of these claims.
Fig. 3 shows the flow chart of the terminal detecting system calibration method according to an embodiment of the invention according to the present invention. The method of the present invention starts from step 301, performs predetermined grinding scheme on board to be calibrated (referred to hereinafter as the first board), and adopt Predetermined terminal detecting algorithm is taken, (now amplifies and compensates without signal, i.e., so as to obtain preliminary monitoring indicatrix Offset=0, Gain=1).As an example, 1 μm can be ground using the grinding scheme and fixed terminal detecting algorithm of fixation Thick copper gear control wafer (copper dummy).In present embodiments, monitoring indicatrix can be, for example, directly Or the curve that the material layer residual thickness being ground changes over time is symbolized indirectly.Can by the thickness rate of changing with time To determine grinding rate, the significant changes of grinding rate disclose the transition of material layer, and then disclose appropriate grinding endpoint.Prison It can also be any other indicatrix for disclosing material transition to control indicatrix.For example, because different materials have not to light With reflectance factor, can obtain characterize reflectance spectrum indicatrix, and when reflectance spectrum discloses interference (due to Caused by the interference of light at two kinds of material interfaces), determine grinding endpoint.Monitoring indicatrix is not limited to optical plan.For example, in base In the terminal detecting of current of electric, monitoring indicatrix can be the curve that the magnitude of current of grinding head motor changes over time.Always It, the present invention is applied to the various monitoring indicatrixes for being used to detect grinding endpoint used by this area.Therefore, the present invention not Answer the limitation of the particular type of monitored indicatrix.
Then, in step 302, preliminary calibration is carried out to monitoring indicatrix, to obtain preliminary calibration parameter.It can use more Kind of mode carries out preliminary calibration step 302.For example, the calibration flows of the various standards that industry used can be taken to carry out Preliminary calibration.Fig. 4 is shown according to a kind of exemplary preliminary calibrating mode of the present invention:In step 401, held on standard board Row and the predetermined grinding scheme of the identical of abovementioned steps 301 and terminal detecting algorithm, so as to obtain standard feature curve;Afterwards, exist Step 402, preliminary calibration is carried out come the monitoring indicatrix to the first board based on standard feature curve, obtains preliminary calibration Monitor indicatrix, and preliminary calibration parameter Calibrated Offset and Calibrated Gain, the two preliminary schools Quasi- parameter may be such that the monitoring indicatrix of the first board is matched with the standard feature curve of standard board.For example, for based on The terminal detecting system of signal intensity, preliminary calibration can be carried out by following algorithm:
Calibrated Gain=(minimum value of maximum-monitoring indicatrix of monitoring indicatrix)/(standard is special Levy the minimum value of maximum-standard feature curve of curve)
Calibrated Offset=(minimum value of minimum value-standard feature curve of monitoring indicatrix) * Calibrated Gain
Can the successive step monitoring feature songs come at the beginning of of Calibrated Gain and the Calibrate Offset based on preliminary calibration Line.Specifically, gain Calibrated Gain are applied for initial monitoring indicatrix (the first beginning and end make signal amplification), So as to adjust signal amplitude;Meanwhile offset is applied to initial monitoring indicatrix (the first beginning and end make signal compensation) Calibrate Offset, make the curve in coordinate space appropriate upper and lower translation to add signal compensation amount.
It may be noted that above preliminary calibration algorithm is merely illustrative.In fact, it is any so that prison that industry can be used to have used Control the algorithm of indicatrix matching standard feature curve.
Fig. 3 is returned to, can be to one after preliminary calibration parameter Calibrated Offset and Calibrated Gain is obtained Individual or multiple preliminary calibration parameters are weighted calibration to obtain final calibration parameter.The content of weighting calibration includes:In step 303, for preliminary calibration parameter, increase board variation calibration factor F1.Calibration factor F1 is calibrated due to the property of the first board The difference of the first board process thickness and target thickness (standard board processes thickness) caused by energy difference.F1 computational methods It will describe in the figure 7 later.
Alternatively, the content of weighting calibration also includes:It is poor for preliminary calibration parameter, increase grinding-material in step 304 Different calibration factor F2 and/or additional calibration factor F3.Grinding-material variation calibration factor F2 is calibrated due to used in the first board The difference of the first board process thickness and target thickness caused by the otherness of grinding-material.F2 computational methods will exist later Described in Fig. 8.Additional calibration factor F3 is based on the factor such as difference, the spy in production practices between experience, defect, different processing procedures Do not need and monitoring indicatrix is further artificially adjusted.For example, some existing CMPs are intrinsic due to it Deficiency and desired thickness can not be ground to well, now by artificially added grinding (i.e. adjustment monitoring indicatrix, make Terminal detecting is delayed), such case can be compensated for.
According to an embodiment of the invention, calibration factor F2 and F3 is optional calibration factor.For F2, if always Using the grinding-material of same batch, or difference is minimum between the batch of grinding-material, then can ignore materials variances substantially, grind Grind materials variances calibration factor F2=0.Equally, if CMP fully meets process requirements, it is not required to artificially compensate, adds Calibration factor F3=0.On the other hand, difference is then nearly unavoidable between board, because more CMP tools are in use not Have performance difference with can avoiding, therefore board variation calibration factor F1 is the necessary calibration item of the present invention.Therefore, according to this hair Bright embodiment, weighting calibration parameter=preliminary calibration parameter+F1+F2 (optional)+F3 (optional).
As it was previously stated, in Fig. 3 step 302, obtain preliminary calibration parameter Calibrated Offset and Calibrated Gain.But the two preliminary calibration parameters not will further weighting calibration.For based on signal intensity Terminal detecting system, gain G ain and compensation Offset can influence triggering of the terminal detecting system to process endpoint, therefore, excellent Selection of land, Calibrated Offset and Calibrated Gain the two parameters respectively will weighting calibration, such as step in Fig. 5 Shown in 501-502-503.On the other hand, for the terminal detecting system detected based on window, Offset values are for characteristic signal Practical function can not be caught, what is worked is Gain values, therefore, only can be weighted calibration to Calibrated Gain, is such as schemed In 6 shown in step 601-602.
Fig. 7 is shown according to an embodiment of the invention, is Gain values/Offset value computer platform variation calibration factors F1 stream Cheng Tu.Method starts from 701, calculates based on the process thickness difference value a1 caused by the board difference of the first board.A1 can pass through Statistical analysis is carried out to obtain to the process thickness of bulk product.Such statistical analysis can use technique service software (such as Odyssey) obtain, can also be obtained by artificial or computer system statistics.Then, in step 702, Calibrated is made Gain values (Calibrated Offset values) increase a unit (i.e. numerical value+1).Afterwards, in step 703, after adjustment Calibrated Gain values (Calibrated Offset values), a CMP is run, obtain the increment b1 of process thickness. Finally, in step 704, calibration factor F1, F1=a1/b1 are calculated.
Fig. 8 is shown according to an embodiment of the invention, is Gain values/Offset value computer platform variation calibration factors F2 stream Cheng Tu.Method starts from 801, calculates based on the process thickness difference value a2 caused by the grinding-material difference of the first board.A2 is same Sample can be by carrying out statistical analysis to obtain to the process thickness of bulk product.Then, in step 802, Calibrated is made Gain values (Calibrated Offset values) increase a unit (i.e. numerical value+1).Afterwards, in step 803, after adjustment Calibrated Gain values (Calibrated Offset values), a CMP is run, obtain the increment b2 of process thickness. Finally, in step 804, calibration factor F2, F2=a2/b2 are calculated.
The foregoing describe some embodiments of the present invention.However, the present invention can be embodied as other concrete forms without carrying on the back From its spirit or essential characteristics.Described embodiment should all be to be considered merely as illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. For example, in Fig. 7 step 702, increase a unit for Gain values, but those skilled in the art are when it is understood that Gain values can Increase arbitrary value, as long as after process thickness increment b1 is obtained, then divided by this arbitrary value.Therefore, the scope of the present invention By appended claims rather than described above limit.Fall into all in the implication and scope of the equivalents of claims Change is covered by the scope of claims.
