Specific embodiment
As previously mentioned, with the Highgrade integration of semiconductor devices and the progress of high performance, to the specification of metallic film Property also proposed increasingly higher demands, type, dimensional accuracy and the metallic film and wafer including metallic film Between alignment precision.But in the prior art, there is no the methods of real-time detection, to the normalization of the metallic film Judged, once metallic film abnormal problem occurs, often leads to massive losses.
The present inventor has found after study, the above problem it is crucial that is generallyd use in the prior art is to prolong The processing mode of detection or reaction type error correction afterwards.Specifically, when carrying out routine inspection to board just gold can be formed with adjustment Belong to the technological parameter of film, and the alignment precision of metallic film and wafer is controlled, or low yield (low is occurring Yield) after event, it can just search reason and trace back to producing line.In existing processing mode, since feedback cycle is longer, Caused harm is larger when generation problem.
The embodiment of the present invention provides semiconductor substrate, and the surface of the semiconductor substrate has metallic film, described partly to lead The surface branch center region of body substrate and the fringe region for surrounding the central area;It is multiple default in the fringe region Position, detection light reflectance value;According to the light reflectivity value of the multiple predeterminated position and the relationship of preset threshold range, judgement Whether the metallic film there is exception.It, can be with the abnormal feelings of real-time identification metallic film using the scheme of the embodiment of the present invention Condition, the yield for being effectively prevented from wafer reduce.
It is understandable to enable above-mentioned purpose of the invention, feature and beneficial effect to become apparent, with reference to the accompanying drawing to this The specific embodiment of invention is described in detail.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the detection method of one of embodiment of the present invention metallic film.Referring to Fig.1, the metal The detection method of film may include step S101 to step S103:
Step S101: providing semiconductor substrate, and the surface of the semiconductor substrate has metallic film, the semiconductor lining The surface branch center region at bottom and the fringe region for surrounding the central area.
Step S102: multiple predeterminated positions in the fringe region, detection light reflectance value.
Step S103: according to the light reflectivity value of the multiple predeterminated position and the relationship of preset threshold range, judge institute State whether metallic film exception occurs.
In the specific implementation of step S101, semiconductor substrate is provided, the surface of the semiconductor substrate has metal foil Film, the surface branch center region of the semiconductor substrate and the fringe region for surrounding the central area.
Wherein, the material of the semiconductor substrate can be silicon, germanium, SiGe, silicon carbide, GaAs or gallium indium, go back It can be the germanium substrate on the silicon substrate or insulator on insulator.
Metallic film can directly or indirectly be located in semiconductor substrate, that is, neighbour's material below metallic film It can be semiconductor substrate itself, or the other materials being also possible in semiconductor substrate, such as (the oxidation of various dielectric layers Object, nitride etc.).Typically, metallic film is formed by depositing operation or sputtering technology, positioned at the center of semiconductor substrate Region and the part edge region for surrounding the central area.It will be apparent to a skilled person that forming the gold Before belonging to film, it is nonmetallic one or more layers can also to be formed via other semiconductor process steps on the semiconductor substrate Layer or metal layer, the invention is not limited in this regard.
Specifically, for a certain concrete technology formed metallic film, can be arranged in the edge region outer edge line and Inward flange line, the edge for meeting the metallic film of specification should be between the outer edge line and inward flange line.Wherein, outside The distance of the central area of edge linear distance semiconductor substrate is distal to the distance of inward flange linear distance central area.Specifically, outer Edge line is to be obtained on the basis of the edge of the semiconductor substrate to contract first distance, and inward flange line is with described half It is obtained on the basis of the edge of conductor substrate to contract second distance, the first distance is less than the second distance.
It is the schematic top plan view of one of embodiment of the present invention semiconductor substrate referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 is this The diagrammatic cross-section of one of inventive embodiments semiconductor substrate.In semiconductor substrate 201, there is metallic film 202.It is right In the metallic film 202 for meeting specification, edge should be between outer edge line 211 and inward flange line 212.
Specifically, the position except the outer edge line 211, should not be formed with metallic film 202.Further Ground if the first test point is arranged except the outer edge line 211, and is pointed out in the first detection and has detected metallic film 202 exist, it can be determined that the size of the metallic film 202 is greater than default specification or metallic film 202 and semiconductor substrate Alignment precision between 201 is inadequate, deviates to the locality of first test point.
Position within the inward flange line 212, should be completely covered with metallic film 202, should not detect close Adjacent material (such as substrate, dielectric layer etc.).Further, if the second test point is arranged within the inward flange line 212, and It not is the metallic film 202 in the material that the second test point detects, it can be determined that the size of the metallic film 202 is less than Alignment precision between default specification or metallic film 202 and semiconductor substrate 201 is inadequate, to the position of second test point The opposite direction offset set.
With continued reference to Fig. 1, in the specific implementation of step S102, multiple predeterminated positions in the fringe region, inspection Survey light reflectivity value.
Further, except the outer edge line, the first test point of setting detects light reflectivity value, described Within inward flange line, the second test point of setting detects light reflectivity value.
Wherein it is possible to which especially there is detection material using the optical thin film measuring equipment with detection light reflectivity function Expect the device, such as elliptical polarization spectroscopy, spectrophotometer etc. of micro-structure function.The invention is not limited in this regard.
In the specific implementation of step S103, according to the light reflectivity value and preset threshold range of the multiple predeterminated position Relationship, judge whether the metallic film exception occurs.
Since the light reflectivity value of the metallic film has incomplete phase with neighbour's material (such as substrate, dielectric layer etc.) Same light reflectivity value range, can preset the threshold range of light reflectivity according to the thickness of metallic film, at grading factors, and And pass through the detection light reflectance value inside and outside the forming region of the metallic film, it can be determined that whether formed according to default specification Metallic film.
Specifically, if the light reflectivity value of at least one first test point is within the preset threshold range, Or the light reflectivity value of at least one second test point exceeds the preset threshold range, or exists simultaneously at least The light reflectivity value of one first test point within the preset threshold range and at least one it is described second detection The light reflectivity value of point exceeds the case where preset threshold range, then it is abnormal to judge that the metallic film occurs.
Fig. 4 is the schematic top plan view under one of embodiment of the present invention metallic film abnormal conditions.Referring to Fig. 4, half On conductor substrate 301, except outer edge line 311, the first test point 321 of setting detects light reflectivity value, in inner edge Within edge line 312, the second test point 322 of setting detects light reflectivity value.
When the light reflectivity obtained via the detection of the first test point 321 is in the preset threshold range of the metallic film 303 When interior, it can be determined that detect the metallic film 303 except outer edge line 311, then may determine that the metallic film 303 there is exception, such as size is greater than the alignment precision between default specification or metallic film 303 and semiconductor substrate 301 not It is enough, to being located proximate to for the first test point 321.
When the light reflectivity obtained via the detection of the second test point 322 exceeds the preset threshold model of the metallic film 303 When enclosing, it can be determined that fail to detect the metallic film 303 within interior edge line 312, then may determine that the metal There is exception in film 303, such as size is less than the alignment essence between default specification or metallic film 303 and semiconductor substrate 301 Degree not enough, deviates from the position of the second test point 322.
It is understood that the test point of setting is more, it is different can more accurately to judge whether metallic film 303 occurs Often.
It continues to refer to figure 1, in the specific implementation of step S103, by the number for combining the multiple light reflectivity values obtained According to, the Exception Type of the metallic film can be prejudged, such as prejudge the metallic film whether have occurred it is whole partially It moves and whether the size of the metallic film is more than or less than default specification.
Further, if there is the light reflectivity value of the first test point described at least one in the preset threshold range Within, and there are the light reflectivity values of the second test point described at least one to exceed the preset threshold range, then judges institute The pattern for stating metallic film shifts.Specifically, not only detecting metallic film except outer edge line, but also in interior edge line Within detect neighbour's material, the pattern that can be judged to metallic film in advance shifts.
If there is the first test point described at least one light reflectivity value within the preset threshold range, and The light reflectivity value of whole second test points is located within the preset threshold range, then judges the metallic film Size is greater than default specification.Specifically, only detecting metallic film except outer edge line, but fail within interior edge line Detect neighbour's material, the size that can be judged to metallic film in advance is greater than default specification.
Exceed the preset threshold range if there is the light reflectivity value of the second test point described at least one, and complete The light reflectivity value of first test point in portion exceeds the preset threshold range, then judges that the size of the metallic film is small In default specification.Specifically, only detecting neighbour's material within interior edge line, but fail to detect except outer edge line Metallic film, the size that can be judged to metallic film in advance are less than default specification.
Further, the dimensional error type of the metallic film obtained according to judgement, the embodiment of the present invention can be right The problem of being likely to occur in technical process is prejudged, to effectively improve solution efficiency.
In the prior art, forming metal layer in crystal round fringes or side will lead to metal-stripping defect, in backside of wafer Forming metal layer can make wafer stress generate variation, and fragmentation is caused when serious.
Deposition of metal is being implemented to deposit in the marginal position of wafer to bring the defect of subsequent technique in order to prevent When technique forms metallic film, generallys use shade ring (shadow ring) and blocked at the edge of wafer, to ensure to crystalline substance Only within the scope of the shade ring deposition reaction occurs for the reaction gas of circular surfaces input.
Since there are distances between shade ring and wafer, to avoid the crystal round fringes position immediately below shade ring from forming gold Belong to film, in crystalline substance back region, can by the front face normal direction of wafer input brilliant back gas (backside gas) with It liquidates with the reaction gas of front input, to effectively avoid in wafer side and brilliant antiform into metal deposition layer.
In the process, therefore, to assure that the annular center of the shade ring is overlapped and described with the center of circle of the wafer The input pressure of reaction gas and brilliant back gas is suitable, to ensure the dimensional accuracy and the metallic film of metallic film Alignment precision between wafer.
It in specific implementation, can be pre- when the pattern of the metallic film shifts after the exception record is deposition The annular center for being judged to the shade ring and the alignment precision in the center of circle of the wafer are inadequate, and then preferentially set to the shade ring It is standby to be checked.
When the size of the metallic film is greater than default specification after the exception record is deposition, it can be judged to the crystalline substance in advance The input pressure for carrying on the back gas is insufficient, and then is preferentially examined to the technological parameter of the brilliant back gas, such as input pressure parameter It looks into.
When the size of the metallic film is less than default specification after the exception record is deposition, it can be judged to crystal face in advance Reacting gas concentration or insufficient pressure, and then preferentially to the concentration ginseng of the technological parameter of the reaction gas, such as reaction gas Several or input pressure parameter is checked.
Using the embodiment of the present invention, by that can combine in the first test point and the second test point detection light reflectance value The multiple light reflectivity values obtained, further judge the dimensional error type of the metallic film.Thus to can in technical process Energy problem type is prejudged, and is helped to reduce investigation step, is improved and solve efficiency.
In specific implementation, multiple first test points can be set to the central point of the semiconductor substrate etc. Away from, and by multiple second test points set equidistant with the central point of the semiconductor substrate.Namely with described half The central point of conductor substrate is the center of circle, on the circumference with different radii, takes multiple points as test point.
Since under conventional depositing operation or sputtering technology, the metallic film of formation is usually with the center of semiconductor substrate Point is the center of circle, and edge is rendered into circle, so taking test point on the circumference using the central point of semiconductor substrate as the center of circle, has Help increase the accuracy of judgement.
Further, multiple first test points are using the central point of the semiconductor substrate as the same circumference in the center of circle It is in evenly distributed for going up, and multiple second test points are on the same circumference using the central point of the semiconductor substrate as the center of circle It is evenly distributed.
In specific implementation, by the way of evenly distributed, help to obtain conducive to less test point more accurate Judging result, especially during judging that the pattern of the metallic film shifts.This is because if multiple detections Point is tightly bunched together, it may be difficult to indicate that the position far from test point is abnormal with the presence or absence of metallic film.
As a non-limitative example, first test point and the second test point can be respectively set to six uniformly The test point of arrangement.The arrangement mode of six test points helps to make test point on the basis of avoiding the calibration notch of wafer In horizontal and vertical linear symmetric arrays.
It in specific implementation, can also be to the light of the metallic film in addition to the exception record of the storage metallic film Reflectance value is recorded, and by long-term data tracking situation, judges the technical capability of the formation process of the metallic film Intensity.
Specifically, it for the light reflectivity value of multiple first test points, selects closest to the preset threshold range The light reflectivity value of central value is as the first extreme point.For the light reflectivity value of multiple second test points, selection Farthest away from the preset threshold range central value the light reflectivity value as secondary extremal point.Record first extreme point With the secondary extremal point.
Since first test point is distributed in other than outer edge line, closest to the institute of the preset threshold range central value It states light reflectivity value and represents and be abnormal the maximum point of possibility in the first test point;Since second test point is distributed Within inward flange line, the light reflectivity value farthest away from the preset threshold range central value is represented in the second test point In be abnormal the maximum point of possibility.
Further, only record is abnormal the maximum point of possibility and helps to simplify data volume, is carrying out long-term number According in tracking work, the working efficiency of analysis work is effectively improved.
In specific implementation, the material of metallic film can be metal simple-substance or metallic compound.Such as the metal list Matter can be selected from tungsten, titanium, aluminium, copper, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, silver and gold, such as the metallic compound may include titanium nitride or nickel vanadium Alloy.
It is understood that the light reflectivity value of the material of metallic film and neighbour's material (such as substrate, dielectric layer etc.) Difference is bigger, more facilitates to make accurate judgement with the presence or absence of abnormal to metal material.The embodiment of the present invention is to metallic film The material of material and neighbour's material is not particularly limited.

Further, the treatment temperature of the tungsten depositing operation can be 350 degrees Celsius to 450 degrees Celsius, reaction pressure It can be 90Torr to 300Torr, the thickness of the W film of formation can be 100 nanometers to 800 nanometers.The present invention is to formation institute The concrete technology for stating tungsten metallic film is not intended to be limited in any.
The treatment temperature of the sputtered aluminum technique can be 250 degrees Celsius to 450 degrees Celsius, reaction pressure can for less than 10mT, the thickness of the aluminium film of formation can be 100 nanometers to 6 microns.The present invention is specific to the formation aluminum metal film Technique is not intended to be limited in any.
In specific implementation, can using preset wavelength light source detection described in light reflectivity value, with ensure to obtain it is clear, Effective light reflectivity value.As a non-limitative example, the preset wavelength includes 100 nanometers to 1000 nanometers.
In specific implementation, when judging that the metallic film occurs abnormal, the exception record of the metallic film is stored And/or issue information warning.
Wherein, the exception record for storing the metallic film helps chronically to carry out data tracking, effectively to analyze gold Belong to the technical capability intensity of the formation process of film.It specifically, can be by being multiplexed in the test equipment of the light reflectivity value Memory module stored, or be transmitted in other storage equipment of user and store, the present invention is without limitation.
