Typically, After the development of the photolithography process is completed, an After-development Inspection (ADI) is required, and After the etching is completed, an After-etching Inspection (AEI) is required.
With the continuous development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the process node of a semiconductor device is continuously reduced, the line width (CD) of a contact hole is also continuously reduced, and at this time, the deviation of the line width of the etched contact hole can generate a large influence on the electrical performance of the semiconductor device and influence the yield of products. In the existing contact hole manufacturing method, the photoetching defined line width and the etching process of the contact hole are fixed, and the line width measured by ADI is the opening line width of the contact hole after development, so the line width measured by ADI is not changed generally. However, since the semiconductor device structure is formed on the surface of the wafer composed of the semiconductor substrate and the influence of the forming process of the interlayer film itself causes the thickness deviation of the interlayer film in each region of the wafer, the influence on the line width of the contact hole caused by the thickness deviation of the interlayer film becomes non-negligible and more serious as the line width of the contact hole decreases. The process nodes of semiconductor devices are decreasing, the gate dielectric layer of the gate structure usually employs a high dielectric constant (HK) layer, the layer group of gate conductive materials employs a Metal Gate (MG), the gate structure including the high dielectric constant layer and the metal layer is called HKMG, and the HKMG process of the 28nm process node is usually called 28HKMG process.

Step two, measuring the thickness of the interlayer film 5 of each area of the first wafer.
And step three, adjusting the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole in the corresponding area according to the thickness value of the interlayer film 5 in each area of the first wafer so as to compensate the influence of the thickness of the interlayer film 5 on the opening line width of the contact hole after subsequent etching and ensure that the opening line width of the contact hole in the corresponding area after etching meets the required value.
Fourthly, defining an opening area of the contact hole in each area of the first wafer by a photoetching process; and the opening size of the contact hole in each area is defined by the corresponding adjusted photoetching definition line width.
In the fourth step, the photoetching process comprises the following sub-steps:

And after the step four is finished, carrying out ADI detection, wherein the ADI detection measures the opening line width of the contact hole after development, and the opening line width of the contact hole after development is determined by the adjusted photoetching defined line width.
Taking fig. 2 as an example, in fig. 2, the surface corresponding to the mark 101 is a surface corresponding to the thickness of the interlayer film 5 as a design value. After the photolithography process is completed, the photoresist 9 and the BARC layer 8 are opened, d1 is the width of the opened region of the photoresist 9, and d1 is determined by the corresponding photolithography-defined line width. D1 in fig. 2 can be detected by ADI. Fig. 2 lists d1 as 0.065 micrometers (um).
In fig. 2, the surface corresponding to the broken line 102 is a surface when the thickness of the interlayer film 5 is larger than a design value. The surface corresponding to the broken line 103 is a surface when the thickness of the interlayer film 5 is smaller than a design value.
And fifthly, removing the interlayer film 5 in the opening area of the contact hole by an etching process to form an opening of the contact hole.
And after the fifth step is finished, AEI detection is further carried out, the AEI detection is used for measuring the opening line width of the etched contact hole, the opening line width of the etched contact hole is in direct proportion to the size of the opening line width of the developed contact hole, the opening line width of the etched contact hole is related to the thickness of the interlayer film 5, the influence of the thickness of the interlayer film 5 on the opening line width of the etched contact hole is compensated through the adjusted photoetching defined line width, and the opening line width of the etched contact hole in each area with different thicknesses meets the requirement value.
Taking fig. 2 as an example, in fig. 2, when the thickness of the interlayer film 5 is a design value, the side surface of the opening of the contact hole after the etching is completed is shown as reference 10, the opening line width of the corresponding etched contact hole is d2, and fig. 2 shows that d2 is 0.040 um.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the opening line widths of the contact holes formed after the contact hole etching is performed on the interlayer film 5 having the surfaces corresponding to the dotted lines 102 and 103 as the top surfaces are both approximately equal to d2 in fig. 2. This is because in the embodiment of the present invention, the lithographically defined line width of the contact hole corresponding to the interlayer film 5 after the modification is changed, that is, the corresponding d1 in fig. 2 is changed, and finally, d2 is kept unchanged.
Fig. 2 also shows a schematic structure of a change in d2 when the lithographically-defined line width of the contact hole is unchanged, i.e., d1 is unchanged, in the conventional method, which is described as follows: in fig. 2, a dotted line 10a indicates a side surface of the opening of the contact hole etched by the thicker interlayer film 2 corresponding to the dotted line 102 when the lithographically-defined line width of the contact hole is not adjusted, that is, d1 is fixed, and it can be seen that d2 is reduced. And the dotted line 10b represents the side of the opening of the contact hole etched when the lithographically-defined line width of the contact hole is not adjusted, i.e., d1 is fixed, for the thinner interlayer film 2 corresponding to the dotted line 103, and it can be seen that d2 is increased.
In the embodiment of the invention, the third step comprises the following sub-steps:
step 31, the step before adjusting the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole, includes: under the condition that the photoetching definition line width of the contact hole is kept to be an unadjusted design value, determining a first proportional coefficient between a first variation value of the thickness of the interlayer film 5 and a second variation value of the opening line width of the etched contact hole, wherein the first variation value is the deviation between the actual thickness value and the design value of the interlayer film 5, and the second variation value is the corresponding deviation of the opening line width of the etched contact hole when the actual value and the design value of the thickness of the interlayer film 5 are reached.
May be represented by a company as: Δ d2 ═ K1 × Δ L, Δ L denotes the first change value, Δ d2 denotes the second change value, and K1 denotes the first scaling factor.
Step 32, calculating a first variation value of the interlayer film 5 in each region according to the measured thickness value of the interlayer film 5, and calculating a second variation value corresponding to the lithography-defined line width of the contact hole using an unadjusted design value according to the first scale factor.
And step 33, adjusting the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole in the corresponding area according to the second change value by utilizing the proportional relation between the opening line width of the etched contact hole and the opening line width of the developed contact hole, so that the corresponding second change value tends to 0nm when the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole adopts the adjustment value.
Wherein the relationship that the opening line width of the etched contact hole and the opening line width of the developed contact hole are in direct proportion is also as follows: after the opening line width of the contact hole after development is increased, the opening line width of the contact hole after etching is reduced, and vice versa, namely d2 is also increased after d1 is increased; as d1 decreases, d2 also decreases.
When the thickness of the interlayer film 5 is reduced, the opening line width of the etched contact hole is increased, that is, the photolithography-defined line width of the contact hole needs to be reduced in step 33. Namely: if Δ d2 is positive, it indicates that d2 is large, and d2 needs to be reduced, while d2 can be reduced by reducing d 1. Since the d1 value is the opening of the developed photoresist, the lithographically defined line width of the contact hole can be directly determined by the d1 value.
When the thickness of the interlayer film 5 is increased, the opening line width of the etched contact hole is reduced, and the photolithography definition line width of the contact hole needs to be increased in step 33. Namely: if the tested Δ d2 is negative, it indicates that d2 is smaller, and it is necessary to increase d2, but the increase of d2 can be realized by increasing d 1. Since the d1 value is the opening of the developed photoresist, the lithographically defined line width of the contact hole can be directly determined by the d1 value.
Typically, step 31 is performed before step one, and comprises the following steps:
and providing a second wafer which finishes the opening etching process of the contact hole, wherein the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole of the second wafer adopts an unadjusted design value, and the opening etching process parameters of the contact hole of the second wafer are the same as those of the contact hole of the first wafer.
The thickness of the interlayer film 5 was measured for each region on the second wafer.
And measuring the opening line width of the contact hole after the development and the opening line width of the contact hole after the etching of each area on the second wafer.
And calculating the first proportional coefficient according to the thickness of the interlayer film 5 in each area and the opening line width of the etched contact hole. Typically, the first scaling factor is greater than 0 and equal to or less than 0.7.
And determining the proportional relation between the opening line width of the contact hole after the development and the opening line width of the contact hole after the etching.
In the embodiment of the invention, the thickness distribution of the interlayer film 5 is measured in advance before the photoetching process of the contact hole is carried out, and then the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole is adjusted according to the thickness distribution of the interlayer film 5, namely, the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole is constant and different from the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole in the prior art, the photoetching defined line width of the contact hole in the embodiment of the invention can change along with the thickness change of the interlayer film 5, thereby being capable of offsetting the influence of the thickness change of the interlayer film 5 on the opening line width of the etched contact hole, and can ensure that the opening line width of the contact hole in the corresponding area after etching meets the required value, finally is beneficial to the equal proportional reduction of the device size and can improve the electrical performance and yield of the reduced semiconductor device, for example, when the embodiment of the invention is applied to a 28HKMG process, the opening of the etched contact hole can meet the requirement value, so that the electrical performance and the product yield of the device can be improved.
