Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a wafer detection device of a single-chip process chamber. The invention also relates to a wafer detection method of the single-chip process cavity.
Background
The back end of line (BEOL) of CMOS process generally adopts Cu interconnection technology, wherein the Cu interconnection technology needs to adopt a Damascus process, the Damascus process is a damascene process that a groove is etched in an interlayer film and then is filled with copper. The Cu interconnection process includes a Cu interconnection line composed of copper filled in a trench (trench) and a via (via) composed of copper filled in an opening of the via.
In the dual damascene process, after the formation of the interlayer film, the trench and the via opening are formed simultaneously by dry etching, which is also called dry etching
The damascene process adopted by the dry etching has the process characteristic of simultaneously forming Trench and Via openings, namely so-called All In One (AIO) etching. Heavy polymer residues (polymer residue) are formed on the sides of the Trench and Via openings (sidewall) after the AIO etch. Therefore, after the AIO etch, a wet clean, i.e., a wet etch, must be performed to remove these polymer residues. After wet cleaning, Cu at the bottom of the Trench and via openings is directly exposed, and a kind of Cu diffusion defect (Cu diffusion defect) may be formed under the action of external factors, which may seriously affect the reliability of the chip.
As shown in fig. 1, it is a schematic diagram of a copper diffusion defect structure formed after wet etching to remove polymer residues after etching a trench and a via opening in the existing dual damascene process; the via opening 105 and the trench 106 are formed by dry etching the interlayer film 101.
A bottom interlayer film 101a and a bottom copper line 102 are also formed on the bottom of the interlayer film 101.
In general, a diffusion barrier layer 103 is also formed on the surface of the underlying interlayer film 101a and the underlying copper line 102 at the bottom of the interlayer film 101, and the diffusion barrier layer 103 is used to block diffusion of copper of the copper line 102 into the interlayer film 101. The diffusion barrier layer 103 is typically nitrogen doped silicon carbide (NDC), which may also be referred to as SiCN.
The interlayer films 101 and 101a are generally formed using a low dielectric constant layer, for example, SiCOH.
In the dual damascene process, a metal hard mask layer 104 is further formed on the surface of the interlayer film 101, the metal hard mask layer 104 is used for defining the pattern of the trench 106, and the material of the metal hard mask layer 104 includes TiN. An oxide layer such as a TEOS oxide layer can also be formed between the interlayer film 101 and the metal hard mask layer 104.
As shown in fig. 1, the dry etching of the via opening 105 and the trench 106 is followed by a wet cleaning process, in which the underlying copper line 102 at the bottom of the via opening 105 is exposed and finally copper diffusion defects are formed along the sides of the via opening 105 and the trench 106 by diffusion, as indicated by reference numeral 107.
As shown in fig. 2, is a photograph of the copper diffusion defect of fig. 1.

Therefore, how to reduce the light source in the wet etching process chamber is particularly important.
FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a conventional single-wafer process chamber during wet etching; in the conventional single-chip process chamber, a wafer detection device is required to detect whether the wafer 204 is placed on the stage 205.
The wafer detection device mainly comprises an optical signal transmitting end 201 and an optical signal receiving end 202, wherein the optical signal transmitting end 201 transmits an optical signal 203 for the optical signal receiving end 202 to receive, if no wafer 204 is placed on the slide stage 205, the optical signal 203 directly reaches the optical signal receiving end 202, and thus a signal that the wafer 204 is not placed is formed.
