Description

Semiconductor wafer surface morphology measuring device based on dynamic quantitative phase imaging
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of optics, and relates to a semiconductor wafer surface morphology measuring device based on dynamic quantitative phase imaging.
Background
Over the past half century or more, the integrated circuit industry has continued to advance in accordance with moore's law and has become one of the mainstay industries of global economy. Wafers are basic materials for manufacturing integrated circuits, and with the rapid development of electronic science and technology and the continuous improvement of integration and performance of electronic products, the production scale of wafers is also continuously enlarged, and the control of surface quality is very important in the grinding process. The wafer with poor surface quality has hidden troubles such as stress concentration and cracks, and when the wafer is divided, the wafer is cracked and greatly lost. The process is monitored by measuring the surface topography of the wafer, so that the yield loss is reduced, the yield is improved, and the importance of the measurement of the surface topography of the wafer is widely recognized.
Surface topography measurement techniques have gone through a process that has progressed from qualitative to quantitative measurements. The mechanical probe type measuring method is a quantitative measuring method for surface appearance which is developed earlier and studied most sufficiently. The measuring principle is that a mechanical probe is used for contacting a measured surface, when the probe moves along the measured surface, the probe moves up and down due to microscopic unevenness of the measured surface, the moving amount of the probe is measured by a displacement sensor combined with the probe, and the three-dimensional profile of the measured surface is obtained after the obtained data are analyzed and processed.
To remedy the drawbacks of the mechanical probe-type measurement method, Ruska proposed a non-contact measurement method using a focused, very fine electron beam as a probe, the first electron microscope being developed. On the basis, the electronic probe is used for scanning the surface to be detected, secondary electrons are excited from the surface to be detected, and the surface appearance of the surface to be detected can be obtained according to the intensity and distribution of the secondary electrons. Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) has high longitudinal and lateral resolutions of 10nm and 2nm, respectively, but requires working in a vacuum environment, is complicated to operate, takes time to measure, and requires electrical conduction of the measured surface. These all restrict its range of application.
The optical probe type measuring method is similar to the mechanical probe type measuring method in principle, and is different from the mechanical probe type measuring method in that the probe in the optical probe type measuring system is a focused light beam, so that the surface of a measured object is prevented from being damaged. The method has low requirements on operating environment and is widely applied in the industrial field. Hamilton et al measures the surface microscopic morphology by confocal microscopy, which has the advantages of simple optical path, convenient use, narrow linear range and high sensitivity of the photoelectric detector to the reflectivity and microscopic slope change of the measured surface. Meanwhile, when the optical probe measures the surface appearance, a set of high-precision mechanical scanning mechanism and a focusing system with complex structures are needed, the measurement resolution is still influenced by mechanical vibration, circuit noise and motion errors of the mechanical scanning mechanism, and the defect of low measurement efficiency exists due to point-by-point scanning.
In addition, Ruprecht et al propose the complex color confocal method, the measurement principle is to adopt complex color light source and axial dispersion objective, replace ordinary optical sensor analysis reflection focusing wavelength and luminance information with the spectrometer at the same time, the light of different wavelength has different focal lengths, therefore this method can measure the point in certain height range (the height range depends on the wavelength range of the light source), does not need the longitudinal scanning, has improved the measuring speed, but the disadvantage is that the measuring height range is small, the lateral resolution is low, and is apt to be influenced by the measured surface color.
The optical probe-based measurement method can be considered as a geometrical-optics method, and then researchers have successively proposed methods based on physical optics and informatics principles. Taked et al propose Fourier transform profilometry to extract the surface topography information of the measured object from the deformed fringes. The method is fast, and has the disadvantages that the inclination of an object must be limited to avoid the frequency spectrum aliasing phenomenon, and the measurement precision is influenced by the calibration precision. Makosch et al propose a differential interference surface topography measuring method, the measuring principle is to divide a light beam into two coherent light beams and focus the two coherent light beams into two light spots with a very close distance on a measured surface, the phase difference of the two coherent light beams is determined by the height difference of the measured surface between the two light spots, and the surface profile information can be obtained by measuring the phase difference by using the method. Because the differential interference adopts a common optical path optical system, the interference resistance is good, and a standard reference plane is not needed. However, this method accumulates errors because differential interferometry actually measures the surface slope and the surface profile is obtained by integrating the slope.
With the development of optoelectronic technologies such as micro devices, Salbut and the like propose a phase shift interference microscopy method, and calculate the relationship between the phase and the height by a phase-resolved algorithm, so as to obtain the heights of all pixel points in a field range. The method can achieve the longitudinal measurement resolution of 1nm, but has the defects of small measurement range, low measurement speed and easy influence of environmental disturbance.
In summary, the surface topography measurement method has been developed from the original contact measurement to the non-contact and non-destructive measurement. The optical measurement method can realize high-precision non-contact measurement, and the system has simple structure and low cost, so the method is rapidly developed in the field of surface topography measurement. However, various optical measurement methods have limitations in measurement accuracy, speed and real-time performance in the surface topography measurement of semiconductor wafers.
