Description

Uniform layer removing method for aluminum process chip
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chip failure analysis, in particular to a uniform layer removing method for an aluminum process chip.
Background
The chip is composed of a multi-layer metal wiring structure and a dielectric via layer structure, and the metal wiring layer is a three-layer structure as shown in fig. 1, where M1-M6 respectively represent six layers, M1 is the first layer closest to the machine layer, and so on. When the chip is failed internally, the chip is required to be layered layer by layer to analyze failure reasons; when the chip circuit detail analysis is carried out, the chip is required to be removed layer by layer to observe the internal structure of the chip. The step of chip delaminating is to remove the metal layer of the chip and the dielectric via layer (or passivation layer) on the metal layer flatly, the flatness of the failure area needs to be ensured in the failure analysis field, and the flatness of the whole chip needs to be ensured in the chip circuit detail analysis field.
The prior art is divided into two major directions: the Etching, grinding and polishing method is mainly applied to the field of failure analysis, and comprises the steps of Etching a medium through hole layer (or a passivation layer) through RIE (Reactive Ion Etching), and grinding a metal layer and a barrier layer (titanium Ti) in a CMP (Chemical Mechanical polishing) mode until the whole layer is ground; the method has the characteristics that the edge effect is very heavy, the chip surface is easy to be staggered (the chip surface is not the same metal layer), and other factors influencing the chip state are not introduced. The etching corrosion grinding and polishing method is mainly applied to the field of circuit detail analysis, a dielectric through hole layer (or a passivation layer) is etched through RIE, an aluminum layer is reacted by using acid liquor or alkali liquor, and then a barrier layer is ground in a CMP mode until the whole layer is ground; in the method, all analyzed chips are qualified, and only the internal information of the chips needs to be reserved, so that chemical substances such as acid and alkali are introduced only to have no influence on the detailed circuit analysis of the chips. The method has the characteristics that the degree of the edge effect depends on the capability of an engineer, great uncertainty exists, and meanwhile, the hole falling (through hole corrosion) is easily caused during the acid-base reaction, so that the detailed analysis of a chip circuit is influenced.
In the process of implementing the invention, the inventor finds that at least the following problems exist in the prior art:
the main problem of the etching grinding and polishing method is the problem of staggered layers caused by the overweight edge effect, and because the edge grinding and polishing speed is always higher than the middle grinding and polishing speed in the CMP grinding and polishing process, the metal layer to be ground is thicker and the barrier layer is more wear-resistant, the edge metal layer is at a lower level because the grinding and polishing speed of the edge is far higher than that of the middle metal in the layer removing process, namely, the staggered layers are generated. Long-term experiments prove that almost every two layers of metal are ground, so that the edge metal layer and the middle metal layer are different by one layer. If two failure points with large distance exist on the chip, the method has great disadvantages.
The main problems of the etching corrosion polishing method are that the hole dropping problem and the edge effect problem are easily caused. The problem of hole dropping is that when the aluminum layer is reacted by using acid liquor or alkali liquor, for example, the concentration, temperature and reaction time of the acid-alkali liquor are controlled improperly, the through hole is easy to be corroded, namely, the hole dropping is easy to occur. The hole dropping can cause that an engineer can not effectively judge the connection relation between the metal wires when the circuit is extracted, and the function judgment of the circuit is influenced. The problem of edge effect is that in the process of polishing a barrier layer by using CMP, the polishing speed of the edge is always greater than the polishing speed of the middle part, so that the phenomenon of layer-by-layer transmission can be caused in the process of removing the layer, when the layer is accumulated to a certain degree, a dielectric layer on an edge metal layer is much thinner than that of a middle metal layer of a chip, and edge holes are easily removed or even staggered. Because circuit detail analysis requires a very complete layer-shaping effect, polishing is greatly influenced by the experience of engineers, and the controllability is low.
The information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

Since the barrier layers are disposed on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the metal wiring layer, the thicknesses of the two barrier layers on the upper surface and the lower surface need to be obtained. A schematic diagram of obtaining layer thickness information is shown in fig. 3. FIG. 3 contains a plurality of dielectric via layers and metal wiring layers; the right-hand value 524.1nm is the thickness between 2 layers, i.e., the thickness of one dielectric via layer. The left numerical value of 68.47nm is the thickness of the blocking layer above the metal wiring layer; the other value on the left side is 445.1nm, which is the thickness of the metal wiring layer; the third value on the left side, 65.48nm, is the thickness of the blocking layer under the same metal wiring layer.

Therefore, the problem that the removal of titanium or titanium nitride by a CMP method in the etching corrosion grinding and polishing process easily causes the grinding and even the layer staggering of the edge hole is solved, and the edge effect can be effectively avoided.
