Description

A kind of comparative approach and device of SIMS analysis curve
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, in particular to the comparative approach of a kind of SIMS analysis curve and Device.
Background technique
Recently as the demand rapid growth to sub-nanometer depth resolution and higher sensitivity, Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Analysis (SMIS) receives more and more attention.SIMS bombards sample surfaces by the primary ions beam of high-energy, makes sample Surface absorption energy and generate secondary ion, by mass analyzer mobile phone, analyze these secondary ions, so that it may obtain about The map of sample surface information.Compared to other surfaces analytical technology, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Scanning Electron Microscopy), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), electronics energy of having a rest Compose (AES, Auger Electron Spectroscopy) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), sensitivity is very high, from hundred a ten thousandths (PPM) to part per billion (PPB).In addition to this, SIMS is also With some special advantages, especially in depth and imaging resolution.These functions can be achieved on the institute including hydrogen There are Element and isotope, analysis of compounds component and molecular structure, however these cannot be detected by SEM and XPS.Fig. 1 It is a SIMS operation principle schematic diagram.Leading ion beam energy range is bombarded sample surfaces in 250eV to 30K eV and is produced The secondary ion of raw ionization, these subsequent secondary ions are by electric field acceleration and by spectrometer analysis.
For reliability assessment and semiconductor technology control, the quantitative analysis of impurity is most important.It is commented from reliability From the perspective of estimating, accurate SIMS profile analysis with compare it is consistent most important for ensuring reliability performance, such as new Equipment is let pass in process transfer, and enough redundancies are most important.Earlier evaluations believable for these occasions depend on SIMS The robust analysis of depth curve (SDP, SIMS depth profiles) and compare.If in ion implanting (IMP, ion Implantation it not can recognize that underproof SDP after), need the wafer acceptance testing of equal till all hours (may be after one month) (WAT, Wafer Acceptance Test) and/or subsequent chip detection (CP, Chip Probing)/final test (FT, Final Test) detect these negative effects.It will be apparent that until reliability test just detects that rejected product is suitable Bad.On the other hand from the point of view of, this also means that on line (inline), the performance of WAT, CP, FT and reliability can be comprehensively anti- Reflect SDP performance and it is necessary to SDP benchmark is further verified and optimized by these results.
From the perspective of semiconductor technology control, SIMS plays an important role in surface analysis, for example, supporting technique Exploitation, monitoring and troubleshooting.In microelectronic field, what sample was generally flat, and substance is usually low-density, only It can be arrived by what SIMS was detected.Device formed be from wafer IMP or dopant be diffused into the specific pattern limited by mask Start.SIMS can determine junction depth by obtaining with the dopant profile of the dopant atom density matching of substrate, this is right It is even more important in current an ultra shallow implant devices junction depth (< 10nm).In above-mentioned all applications, it is based on ion dose and distribution, SDP is compared with theoretical or benchmark the section for judgement.
For the SDP in Fig. 2, " Y " axis indicates that concentration (usually being indicated with logarithmic scale) and " X " axis indicate depth, energy It is intuitive to reflect ion concentration with the situation of change of sample depth, so when ion implantation apparatus implants ions into control wafer (Split) in, then pass through while analyzing and comparing control wafer and standard sample (BL).There is known depth, dense by IMP creation The standard of degree or dosage is used for the quantitative calibration to each sample.SIMS develops to dosage measurement skill from semi-quantitative method Art measures relative standard deviation < 1% with impurity and matrix element for quadrupole rod, magnetic sector and ToF analysis instrument Reproducibility.
SIMS becomes the mainstream of semicon industry in the application of depth section.In general, the SDP of amorphous layer obeys Gauss point Cloth is however, there are several different interactions between the ion and crystal column surface of injection.The energy of some ions is sufficiently high, So that almost all of ion is all injected into wafer;Also it is all reflected by wafer when or energy is very weak.Channelling effect refers to Ion is parallel to crystallographic axis or planar movement and shows abnormality deep the case where penetrating into crystal lattices.Channelling effect is IMP mistake It needs to avoid as possible in journey, because it causes the ion of injection out of control and deviates Gaussian Profile.In this case, although it is smart Energy really is set, but small angle offset can generate significant difference.Fig. 2 discloses two different implant angles, 0 ° and 1 °, SDP there are significant differences.It may be tired in the quantization of interface (shallow depth) and posture (especially deeper depth) Difficult.In the depth for being less than 200nm, due to disturbance caused caused by pollution, so that the SDP of low mass resolution rate and can not It leans on.However, in the depth for being greater than 800nm, restriction of the detectivity of SDP by detection boundary.
IMP is a kind of low temperature process that the impurity accurately controlled is introduced to semiconductor, it provides more than diffusion process Flexibility.Ion implantation apparatus is generally divided into high current (HC, high current), middle electric current (MC, medium current), High energy (HE, high energy) and low energy (LE, low energy).The typical performance indicators of beam-line ion implanter have Even property, repeatability, reliability, for the angle in situ control that accurate pure doping is placed, high-throughput and contamination control.Note every time Entering can be realized by the beam current of control IMP technique, Implantation Energy, angle and dopant, these are all to device Performance And Reliability is most important.In most cases, ion will be implanted on wafer with certain tilt angle to reduce channel The influence of effect.Common practice is with the injection of 7 ° of inclination angles to avoid doped channel, although 7 ° are inclined due to the shade of photoresist It tiltedly may not be best.By utilizing channel, 0 ° of inclination can be used with associated compared with low energy to realize that target is deep It spends and can be reduced damage for injecting compared to inclination.By taking HE implanter as an example, since cone angle effects batch tool may cause Difference channel, this may cause the large change of dopant profiles on wafer, inject especially for 0 °.On the other hand, single crystalline substance Circle HE implanter is not influenced by this cone angle effects, it is possible to provide uniform 0 ° of injection.These characteristics of single wafer implanter Particularly advantageous for cmos image sensor (CIS) application, these applications need depth to inject, and have to wafer uniformity tightened up Requirement.In short, the slight shift of angle will generate significant impact to SDP, and implant angle be the key that IMP process because Element.
In addition to above-mentioned Implantation Energy and angle, the degree that equipment is degenerated also seriously affects SDP.Such as light beam line portion The abrasion and degeneration divided is so that hardware is gradually distance from original setting.Therefore, the precision of periodic verification implant angle and ion gauge can To reduce process variation to the maximum extent.Generally use measurement heat wave (TW, thermal-wave) signal and line resistance (Rs, Sheet resistances) to monitor deviation of the injector angle relative to crystallographic axis.However TW has sensitivity curve, this makes It is difficult under certain injection conditions.This tool is efficiently used, it is necessary to the calibration table of specific flow setting operation is taken, Even if the Rs value between two specific ion implanters may also have significant difference under identical implant angle.From theory On say, any IMP extremely can be by finding SIMS result compared with benchmark.
For a long time, SDP relatively depends on the subjective assessment of practitioner, is not based on times of statistics or physics What significant index.As shown in Figure 2,1 ° of angle difference leads to significant different SDP.Further in fig. 3 a, according to working The comment of person has, and the SDP of the sample (" Split ") for identification is matched well with reference sample (" Baseline ").In Fig. 3 b In, the IMP doses change of sample to be identified is in limitation range, but SDP matching is than the difference in Fig. 3 a;In this case, very Hardly possible judges whether the SDP in Fig. 3 b is subjected to.In Fig. 2, sample to be tested (" Split ") and reference sample (" Baseline ") There are significant differences between SDP.Therefore, only according to vision can relatively easily from the SDP identification in Fig. 2, there are ion implantation apparatuses It is abnormal.
Just because of this, it is obviously desirable to one can quantify and have more meaningful index to compare SDP.In order to obtain a ratio Relatively reliable compared with two or more SDP and accurate judgement, forefathers have taken very big effort.Document [1] (CN104237279A) a kind of judgment method of calculating bias ratio is proposed to compare SDP.It is reduced using Gaussian smoothing method Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N, Signal-to-Noise), then carries out point-to-point normalization, as shown in Figure 4.
Then this method excludes noise region, and remaining area is divided into one dividing into three, calculates separately respective slope.Most Afterwards, bias ratio is appointed as by maximum in the absolute value of these slopes.Although being bluntly that there are one for it away from rate method A little doubts, it is too subjective in some parameter settings.It is described in detail below:
(1) curve smoothing is quite important and basis of subsequent analysis.However, lacking in rate method to curve smoothing Thoroughly verifying or even exceptional value all do not exclude.Subsequent normalized curve inevitably moves up and down, especially shallower Deeper depth.
(2) due to not yet accurately obtaining the function of SDP, so-called point-to-point return must be selected away from the author of rate method One changes.But it depends on the sample frequency of SDP, many information can lose.
(3) acquisition is subjective and unscientific away from the process of rate score.On the one hand, normalized curve not necessarily meets Linear function.In addition, if two SDP are parallel and there are significant differences, then do not work away from rate method.
(4), actually also should be different away from rate threshold values for a variety of different technology platforms, rather than fixed value, 1.4。
(5) number that acceptable area is divided into several sections is also a lack of theories integration.In addition to this, for zone of acceptability The identification (effective dose of covering 95%) in domain is also required to further thoroughly discuss.
It (6) is finally also most of all, practical experience shows that deviating from rate method may draw the wrong conclusion, for example, figure SDP in 3b deviates from rate=1.35 < 1.4. that is, by being considered comparing favourably with Baseline away from the rate method SDP (because it deviates from rate < 1.4).However, the device (SDP in Fig. 3 b) from the split by hot carrier in jection (HCI, Hot carrier injection) reliability assessment, as shown in Figure 5.Its Idsat (leakage current when saturation) degenerates obvious Much larger than Baseline sample.HCI robustness significantly by drain depletion region electric field and channel current distribution influenced, And these are greatly influenced by ion implantation dosage and angle.

Below with reference to Fig. 7-Figure 17, above-mentioned steps of the invention are described in detail.
A. outlier detection.
SDP provides ingredient composition and depth information.However, the identification of interface (shallow-layer) may be difficult.On the one hand, Interface is usually very thin and usually marks the degree of approach of different materials, may have relatively different secondary ion yields.Separately On the one hand, surface contamination may be a serious problem, because the particle on initial surface may also lead to secondary ion letter In the sample that number secondary ion signal may be analyzed over head and ears and real Impurity Distribution is masked in statistics, these moulds The imaginary signal for pasting true Impurity Distribution is considered as.Statistically, exceptional value is a kind of far from each other with other observation results Observation is as a result, so that wake suspicion that it is generated by different mechanism.Exceptional value can seriously mislead prediction, and make global number It is less accurate according to the deduction of collection.Therefore, identify and delete important and necessary that the exceptional value in real observation is statistical analysis Business.
Most of classical ways for rejecting outliers are based on certain statistical distribution, and exceptional value is identified as having Compared with those of lower probability of occurrence point.However, the distribution of SDP is unclear.By taking " Split " SDP in Fig. 3 b as an example.Four kinds of differences Nonparametric technique be introduced for accurately identifying exceptional value.
1) Tukey method (box traction substation).
Although exceptional value relative rarity and uncommon, compared with other observe results, their importance is very high, makes The detection for obtaining them is very crucial.In practical applications, only by utilizing some simple visual suitable figures, such as case Line chart, it is easy to detect the exceptional value of single argument sample.Box traction substation is a kind of graphical display, for describing one by quartile Group numeric data, the hypothesis without doing any basic statistical distribution.The width of box, be defined as interquartile-range IQR (IQR, Interquartile range), be equal to third quartile (Q3,3rdQuartile first quartile (Q1,1) is subtractedst quartile).IQR indicates the dispersion degree and the degree of bias in data, if lower than Q1-1.5 × IQR or being higher than Q3+1.5 × IQR, Then a point is identified as exceptional value.
Similarly, for bivariate data, such as SDP, a kind of simple method is the reasonable interval of setting, then will The types of variables of depth is converted to classified variable from continuous variable.Exceptional value in each category level is marked as case figure Point outside beard.For in Fig. 3 b " Split " SDP, the types of variables of depth has been changed to classified variable, and depth Corresponding interval be arranged to 10.As shown in fig. 7, depicting a series of box-shaped figures.It is obvious that almost all of exceptional value (by It is a little bigger to indicate) shallow and deep depths is appeared at, correspond to interface ontology section.The physical interpretation that these discoveries are illustrated with front Unanimously.
2) it is based on the method for density-distance (DD, density-distance).
Although being readily possible to detect exceptional value by box traction substation, the selection of interval has subjectivity.Therefore, it examines Consider based on the method for density distance (DD) and avoids this subjective selection.This method needs to calculate, and there are the data of geometric interpretation to see In addition the distance between measured value itself is exactly to detect and develop particular for multivariate outliers.This method also regardless of Data distribution form, this is also one key advantages.
Classical way for detecting exceptional value is to calculate the distance between each data point and its neighbour, then those points Density be assumed to be exceptional value significantly lower than its neighbour.Local outlier factor (LOF, local outlier factor) is base In the concept of local density;The position is provided by k nearest-neighbors, and distance is close by the part of object for estimating that density passes through Degree is compared with the local density of its neighbour, can identify that the region with similar density has with those than its neighbor density The point of much lower density.These points are regarded as exceptional value.In order to determine the range of k nearest-neighbors, when calculating LOF The k value used is set to 7.Box is labeled as by the exceptional value that LOF algorithm identifies in fig. 8.
3) method based on Projection Pursuit (PP, projection pursuit).
The computing cost of above LOF can not be ignored because it need to calculate data point and between all distances.In addition, Although LOF to distribution do not make it is any it is assumed that it be not construed as pure nonparametric technique, because of its result pair The selection of k is very sensitive, it is still desirable to specified (from experience=7).Projection Pursuit (PP, projection pursuit) is one Kind is for searching the linear combination of variable so that the statistical technique of cluster can be presented to corresponding data for data.Its frame is set It is set to optimization problem, target is to find projection index.The exceptional value that PP algorithm identifies marks in Fig. 9.
4) based on the method for regression diagnostics.
Regression analysis includes that the conditional probability of another stochastic variable Y is found on an independent variable X.Using reverse search To distinguish exceptional value.Firstly, constructing regression model using all data.Then, tool is sequentially or concurrently excluded from model There is the observation result of worst error.When hypothesized model is correct, true residue always has standardized normal distribution.Figure 10 is illustrated (left side) and quartile (QQ) normal state figure of the residual error on (right side) later before suppressing exception value.
It is obvious that normal QQ figure is approximately linear (intercept 0 and gradient 1) after removing exceptional value;Exceptional value is being schemed Label is in 11.
Although not only simple by using box traction substation detection exceptional value but also directly, the selection of interval be it is subjective and It is uncertain.LOF is a kind of unsupervised value detection method that peels off, and it is close relative to the part of its neighbour that it calculates data-oriented point Deviation is spent, without doing any hypothesis to distribution.But it is very sensitive to user-defined parameter k neighbours.PP is a kind of lookup change The method for measuring linear combination, such data can provide cluster relevant to these variables;However, it can not simulate complexity It generates model and height consumes computer time.Based on this, it is recommended to use nonlinear regression diagnostic models detect exceptional value.
B. curve smoothing: nonlinear regression.
Accurately estimate SDP potential function be reliable quantitative analysis most critical and most basic problem.Usual base Parametric form is proposed in priori knowledge.However when these stringent parametric assumptions may cause partially in the case where inaccuracy The estimation of difference.Since nonparametric smoothing method has very strong flexibility, several nonparametric techniques are compared, are obtained The best features function of SDP.These nonparametric smoothing models are cubic spline interpolation (CSI, Cubic Spline ), Interpolation smooth (LOWESS, locally the weighted scatterplot of local weighted recurrence scatterplot ) and NNs smoothing;Their sharpening result is as shown in figure 12.
It is flexibly the approximating method of nonlinear regression model (NLRM) that NNs, which is provided a kind of, they are the non-thread of overparameterization Property statistical model, this makes them very flexible, therefore can approximate any smooth function.They can look in explanatory variable To high-order reciprocation, this is very difficult to traditional regression method.As shown in figure 12, the feature of SDP is (especially shallow Place) it can only be portrayed completely by NN.Due to the overparameterization of NN, compared with more conventional smoothing method, they are difficult to explain.
The most common NN form is multilayer perceptron (MLP, multi-layer perceptron), is inputted by one, One output and possible one or more hidden layer compositions.Input unit is inputted the list passed in first hidden layer Member is directly passed to output unit.Each unit adding plus a constant (referred to as " deviation ") to its input in hidden layer Quan He, and calculate activation primitive φhResult.The hidden unit or output unit being then passed in next layer.
Empirical studies show that multitiered network does not usually show more compared with the NN with one or two hidden layer It is good and often worse.Therefore, method provided by the present invention is since the most simple but most common NN structure, containing only one A hidden layer (to avoid the recurrence of overfitting single argument) and 10 nodes.Such as Figure 13, wherein thicker line indicates that coefficient has The larger value.In Figure 13, I1 and O1 are to output and input item respectively;H1~H10 is concealed nodes.By activation primitive in hidden layer In be set as tangent line hyperbolic functions and exponential function in output layer.Input is expressed as xi, for having a hidden layer MLP exports tkIt can be obtained by formula (1):
tk0k+∑j→kwjkφhj+∑i→jwijxi)) (1)。
Wherein, αkRepresent k non-linear neural member, wjkRepresent weight delay.
If only one output node, k is equal to 1.Power can be determined by optimizing some canonical functions appropriate Weight for example minimizes the total of the square error of predictive variable and/or is maximized in the case where assume that the distribution of response variable The log-likelihood of data.
The structure of MLP allow it to fitting output and input between very general nonlinear function.Research shows that The NN for possessing enough hidden units can approach arbitrary function relationship.However, overfitting may be one under this framework Serious problem.Usually by early stage stop optimization, or more ground punish optimisation criteria using Regularization Technique.By excellent The estimation that addition penalty term carrys out optimisation criteria weight in change standard will be reduced, this is also referred to as contraction method.(2) is smooth in equation Punishment is usually used in contraction method:
This process is also referred to as " weight decaying " in NN document;In Figure 13, two punishment nodes B1 and B2 are specified. The use of weight decaying seems not only to facilitate optimization process but also avoids overfitting.Adjusting parameter k can by cross validation come Selection minimizes formula (2) for the hidden unit of fixed quantity to obtain weight estimation.
Such as Figure 14, it is based on its diagnostic graph, the SDP in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 has been carried out well smoothly, and as expected, NN can Best to describe SDP behavior.The major advantage for normalizing quantile residual error is that vacation is worked as in the distribution regardless of response variable If model is correct, true residue always has standardized normal distribution.Residual error performance is good.Because of the first two of residual error in Figure 15 It is the random scatter at 0 around horizontal linear line that the match value of depth and the match value of index and index, which are rendered as mean value, in figure; And the Density Estimator of residual error is approximately normal distribution, QQ figure is approximately linear (intercept 0, gradient 1).In addition, its R2 Also very high, it is 0.994.
As shown in figure 16, to identify the region of explanatory variable, model cannot be abundant in the area for the worm figure of residual error Fitting data (referred to as " model violation ").This is a diagnostic tool, for checking the difference of one or two explanatory variable The residual error of range (not being overlapped under default situations).Since all observations all fall in " receiving " region in two elliptic curves (greatly About 95% point is fallen between two elliptic curves) and do not detect on point specific shape, as shown in figure 16, the mould Type seems the fine of overall fit.
The judgement that C.SDP compares.
The comparative approach of SDP can compare (NRC) by statistical method or by normalization ratio to quantify.
1) NRC method.
In order to preferably compare two by function GA(x) and GB(x) section provided, wherein x represents depth, can pass through Diversity ratio can be write following expression by concentration normalization.
Obviously, formula (3), if Ratio (x)=1 is set up, the two sections can be identified as exactly matching.Therefore, The problem of characterizing difference between the two profiles can be interpreted simply as how judging equation establishment.In order to obtain curve weight The quantitative target of conjunction, using the integrated value of the per unit depth of the shadow region surrounded by horizontal line (Ratio (x)=1), referred to as " difference percentage " can be calculated by formula (4):
Wherein, a represents lower limit of integral, and b represents upper limit of integral.
Method based on formula (4) is referred to as comparing (NRC) by statistical method or by normalizing ratio.
As shown in figure 17, (Fig. 3 a, 3b and each Ratio (x) function 2) are by different line type (respectively points by SDP Line, dotted line and solid line) it draws.According to the technological requirements, lower and upper limit are respectively set as 20nm and 800nm.Meanwhile difference percentage Ratio D mark is in tablei and the upper left corner of Figure 17 also has.Based on many experimental datas, by the threshold definitions of difference percentage For 0.276% to judge whether two SDP are comparable.A possibility that from the point of view of common sense, difference percentage is smaller, two samples It is bigger.Therefore, the SDP in Fig. 3 a is comparable, and other then different.

THE CALCULATED VALUES BASED ON NRC
2) Kolmogorov-Smirnov is examined
Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) inspection is distribution-free limitation, can be commonly used and not big by population sample amount Small limitation.These are even more important for the comparison of two SDP, because their distribution is substantially unknown.
In general, KS inspection can be used for sample to be compared with reference to probability distribution, or compare two samples.Double sample KS Examine it is more useful because it is sensitive to the difference of the location and shape parameter of the empirical cumulative distribution function (CDF) of two samples. It has quantified the distance between experience distribution of two samples.The zero cloth of the statistic is calculated under null hypothesis, the vacation If being sample is extracted from the same distribution in double sample situation.KS statistic, DKSIt is defined as DKS=max | F (x)-G (x) |, F (x) and G (x) represents the CDF of two samples.
It is very challenging thing that KS statistic, which is expanded to hyperspace,.In one-dimensional sample, experience is distributed only Change in given viewpoint, and obtains single argument by assessing the distance between experience and theoretic distribution function at these points KS statistic.However, empirical distribution function can jump on unlimited number of point when dimension is greater than 1.Peacock describes logical It crosses under any possible sequence and finds the maximum difference between CDF to make statistical iteration in the idea of any particular sorted.? N point is provided in two-dimensional space, needs to calculate by all to (Xi,Yj) 4n of plane that defines2CDF in quadrant, wherein XiWith YjIt is the coordinate of any point pair in given sample.Then, the maximum antipode in All Quardrants between CDF is calculated.Count step Suddenly it can be executed by violence algorithm, whether which determines the point at it in inswept each quadrant of each point in sample In.
Here, the comparison of two SDP is realized using the idea of Peacock, the counting statistics value of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are in Table II In.If it is 0.090 that KS approximate calculation threshold value, which can be used, using α=0.05.Therefore, threshold value is lower than for KS statistical value, no Refuse the null hypothesis that they are comparable.Such as the conclusion in Table II, the SDP in Fig. 3 a is comparable, and other (i.e. Fig. 2 And 3b) be not then.Conclusion is consistent (Figure 17 and Table I) with NRC.

THE CALCULATED KS STATISTIC VALUES
In short, NRC and KS test can handle well SDP and compare.In practice, their selection depends on practical Situation.In particular, KS test can be more preferable when previous number is according to library not enough big (< 30).
The accuracy characteristic (energy, dosage and angle) of IMP can directly affect device performance, thus it is to semiconductors manufacture For it is particularly significant.The present invention provides a kind of new methods with K-method before improving, this be a kind of pure nonparametric technique can Quantizating index, without do any subjectivity it is assumed that can handle various shape, realize that SDP compares.Some exceptional values determine Method is introduced into exclude exceptional value, is recommended to use nonlinear regression diagnostic models here.Neural network SDP the most flexible is non-linear Recurrence is used to smooth SDP curve.In fact, four kinds of different exceptional value identification methods right and wrong for industry practitioner The reference of Chang Youyong is beneficial to nearly all analysis of statistical data.Finally, by means of both non-parametric methods of KS and NRC Quantifiable index can be obtained to compare for SDP.When the record that database includes in the early time is less than 30, KS method may It is a better choice.These readily understood certifiable methods facilitate early monitoring and practitioner are instructed to complete corresponding solution Certainly method reduces the influence of deviation.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes without departing from spirit and model of the invention to the present invention It encloses.In this way, if these modifications and changes of the present invention is within the scope of the claims of the present invention and its equivalent technology, then This law is bright to be also intended to including these modification and variations.
