As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.
In order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, detailed steps and detailed structures will be set forth in the following description in order to explain the present invention. The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.
As previously mentioned, current trench etching of STI often encounters ball type defects. The reason for the spherical defects is that the edge of the electrostatic chuck for adsorbing and fixing the wafer is subjected to strong electric power bombardment tip discharge to generate electric arc degree from the edge of the wafer, and the high-temperature electric arc melts silicon and aluminum of the electrostatic chuck into spherical objects which fall on the surface of the wafer to prevent normal etching and form the spherical defects, as shown in the front view of fig. 1A and the schematic diagram of the top view of fig. 1B.
Through a large amount of data summarization, the parameter of the leakage current of the electrostatic chuck of the machine is found to be related to the strength of the spherical defect, and whether the etching state of the machine is good or not can be reflected. In addition, when the STI etching machine etches products, the position of a notch (notch) of a wafer corresponding to the electrostatic chuck rotates along with the etching time of the machine before the wafer enters the etching cavity, so that the position of the notch of the wafer corresponding to the electrostatic chuck is also related to the spherical defect.
The current control method for the spherical defects is to adopt an Advanced Process Control (APC) system of an etching system to collect the average value and the maximum value of leakage current parameters of the electrostatic chuck in the etching process of each wafer of each machine table, output the leakage current values of the electrostatic chuck monitored when each etching cavity etches the wafer to the APC system according to the time sequence, set a safe threshold value in the APC system, shut down the machine to enable equipment personnel to perform preventive maintenance and replace a quartz ring gasket if a plurality of continuous points exceed the safe threshold value, and replace the electrostatic chuck if replacing the quartz ring gasket is invalid. Such a process is inefficient and costly.
In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a method for solving the spherical defects in shallow trench isolation etching, which obtains a defect high-incidence area by performing comparative analysis on parameters related to spherical defect causes, so that the spherical defects can be avoided by avoiding the area.
Figure 2 illustrates an exemplary flow chart of a method 200 for addressing ball-type defects in shallow trench isolation etching in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, a method 200 for resolving ball-type defects in shallow trench isolation etching includes the steps of:
in step S210, parameters related to the cause of the spherical defect fed back when the machine runs are collected.
In this step, parameters related to the cause of the spherical defects may be collected for the same wafer during the run of the machine. In one example, the collected parameters related to the cause of the ball-type defect may include a first parameter and a second parameter. The first parameter is a leakage current of the electrostatic chuck, and the second parameter is a position of the wafer notch corresponding to the electrostatic chuck. Here, the first parameter and the second parameter are so named merely to distinguish from each other, and do not play a limiting role.
In step S220, the parameters are analyzed to determine a spherical defect high incidence parameter area.
In one example, the analysis of the parameters may include: it is determined whether the first parameter (i.e., the leakage current of the electrostatic chuck) is greater than a predetermined threshold (safety threshold), and if not, operation continues. On the contrary, if the first parameter is greater than the predetermined threshold, fitting analysis is performed on the first parameter (i.e., the leakage current of the electrostatic chuck) and the second parameter (i.e., the position of the wafer notch corresponding to the electrostatic chuck) collected for the current wafer, so as to determine a numerical value region of the second parameter corresponding to the first parameter greater than the predetermined threshold, and the numerical value region is used as a spherical defect high-incidence parameter region.
Wherein the fitting analysis of the first parameter and the second parameter is: fitting the first parameter and the second parameter collected for the same wafer together to form a dot-matrix diagram (as shown in fig. 3), and analyzing a numerical region of the second parameter corresponding to a part where the numerical value of the first parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold according to the fitted dot-matrix diagram. As shown in fig. 3, the bottom rhomboid stack portion is the portion above the predetermined threshold, which is concentrated in the section where the dangerous area of the second parameter is present.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the first parameter is greater than the predetermined threshold, the following steps may be performed before step S220: the second parameter is added with a preset value (such as a base set by an engineer, and the base can be freely set by the engineer according to the damage degree and the area of the electrostatic chuck) to modify the value of the second parameter, so that the condition that the first parameter is larger than the preset threshold value does not exist on the next wafer, and the spherical defect is avoided on the next wafer. In this step, when it is determined that the first parameter is greater than the predetermined threshold, the value of the second parameter is modified directly using the cardinality value preset by the engineer, i.e. the potentially dangerous area is presumably skipped, which estimation may not be sufficiently accurate. Therefore, step S220 can be performed thereafter to accurately determine the spherical defect high incidence parameter area.
In step S230, the parameters are controlled to avoid the ball-type defect high-incidence parameter area.
In one example, the step of controlling the parameters to avoid the ball-type defect high incidence parameter area may further include: and recording the numerical value in the spherical defect high-incidence parameter area as a dangerous numerical value, and modifying the numerical value of the second parameter of the subsequent wafer before the numerical value of the second parameter of the subsequent wafer reaches the dangerous numerical value so as to avoid spherical defects on the subsequent wafer.
Based on the spherical defect high incidence parameter area determined in step S220, a specific value in the parameter area can be recorded as a risk value. Based on the method, the value of the second parameter of the subsequent wafer can be monitored, and before the value reaches any dangerous value, the value can be modified, so that the value can skip the spherical defect high-incidence parameter area, and the spherical defect can be avoided from being generated on the subsequent wafer.
Based on the above description, the method for solving the ball-type defect in the shallow trench isolation etching provided by the invention obtains the defect high-incidence region by performing the comparative analysis on the parameters related to the ball-type defect cause, so that the generation of the ball-type defect can be avoided by avoiding the region, the product yield can be improved, the operation time of the machine can be improved, and the service life of the machine part (such as a quartz ring gasket and an electrostatic chuck) can be prolonged, thereby reducing the cost, including the labor cost.
In another aspect, the present invention further provides a system for resolving ball-type defects in shallow trench isolation etching, and fig. 4 shows a schematic block diagram of a system 400 for resolving ball-type defects in shallow trench isolation etching according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, a system 400 for addressing ball-type defects in shallow trench isolation etching includes: a collection module 410, an analysis module 420, and a control module 430.
The collecting module 410 is configured to collect parameters related to the cause of the spherical defect, which are fed back when the machine runs. The analysis module 420 is configured to analyze the parameters to determine a spherical defect high incidence parameter area. The control module 430 is configured to control the parameters to avoid the ball defect high incidence parameter area.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the collection module 410 may collect parameters related to the cause of spherical defects for the same wafer during machine run. In one example, the parameters related to the cause of the ball-type defect collected by the collection module 410 may include a first parameter and a second parameter. The first parameter is a leakage current of the electrostatic chuck, and the second parameter is a position of the wafer notch corresponding to the electrostatic chuck. Here, the first parameter and the second parameter are so named merely to distinguish from each other, and do not play a limiting role.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the analysis of the parameters by the analysis module 420 may include: it is determined whether the first parameter (i.e., the leakage current of the electrostatic chuck) is greater than a predetermined threshold (safety threshold), and if not, operation continues. On the contrary, if the first parameter is greater than the predetermined threshold, fitting analysis is performed on the first parameter (i.e., the leakage current of the electrostatic chuck) and the second parameter (i.e., the position of the wafer notch corresponding to the electrostatic chuck) collected for the current wafer, so as to determine a numerical value region of the second parameter corresponding to the first parameter greater than the predetermined threshold, and the numerical value region is used as a spherical defect high-incidence parameter region.
The fitting analysis of the analysis module 420 on the first parameter and the second parameter is: fitting the first parameter and the second parameter collected for the same wafer together to form a dot-matrix diagram (as shown in fig. 3), and analyzing a numerical region of the second parameter corresponding to a part where the numerical value of the first parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold according to the fitted dot-matrix diagram. As shown in fig. 3, the bottom rhomboid stack portion is the portion above the predetermined threshold, which is concentrated in the section where the dangerous area of the second parameter is present.
In one embodiment of the invention, the control module 430 may be further configured to: and recording the numerical value in the spherical defect high-incidence parameter area as a dangerous numerical value, and modifying the numerical value of the second parameter of the subsequent wafer before the numerical value of the second parameter of the subsequent wafer reaches the dangerous numerical value so as to avoid spherical defects on the subsequent wafer.
Based on the spherical defect high incidence parameter area determined by the analysis module 420, the control module 430 may record a specific value in the parameter area as a dangerous value. Based on this, the value of the second parameter of the subsequent wafer can be monitored, and before the value reaches any dangerous value, the control module 430 can modify the value so as to skip the ball defect high incidence parameter area, thereby avoiding the ball defect on the subsequent wafer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, when the analysis module 420 determines that the first parameter is greater than the predetermined threshold, the control module 430 may directly add the second parameter to a preset value (e.g., a base set by an engineer, which may be freely set by the engineer according to the damage degree and area of the electrostatic chuck) to modify the value of the second parameter, so that the condition that the first parameter is greater than the predetermined threshold does not exist on the next wafer, thereby preventing the generation of ball defects on the next wafer. In this embodiment, when the analysis module 420 determines that the first parameter is greater than the predetermined threshold, the control module 430 modifies the value of the second parameter directly using the cardinality value preset by the engineer, i.e., evaluative skipping of potentially dangerous areas, which may not be sufficiently accurate. Therefore, the analysis module 420 can continue to perform the fitting analysis to accurately determine the spherical defect high-incidence parameter region, and the control module 430 controls the parameters to accurately avoid the spherical defect high-incidence parameter region, so as to avoid the spherical defect on the subsequent wafer.
Based on the above description, the system for solving the ball-type defect in the shallow trench isolation etching provided by the present invention obtains the defect high incidence region by performing the comparative analysis on the parameters related to the ball-type defect cause, so that the generation of the ball-type defect can be avoided by avoiding the region, which not only can improve the product yield, but also can improve the operation time of the machine and prolong the service life of the machine components (such as the quartz ring gasket and the electrostatic chuck), thereby reducing the cost, including the labor cost.
