Description

Electromigration test structure and electromigration test method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication, and more particularly, to an electromigration test structure and an electromigration test method.
Background
In recent years, as the size of a semiconductor device is smaller and the integration level is higher, research on the reliability of the semiconductor device is also becoming more important, and an Electro-Migration (EM) phenomenon is one of main failure mechanisms affecting the reliability. The electromigration phenomenon refers to a phenomenon that a current passes through the inside of a metal interconnection line when an integrated circuit in a semiconductor device works, and metal ions generate substance transportation under the action of the current, namely, the metal ions move from a negative electrode to a positive electrode under the pushing of 'electronic wind', so that a cavity (Void) can appear at the negative electrode part of the metal interconnection line due to the electromigration phenomenon, further, circuit breaking occurs, and Hillock (Hillock) appears at the positive electrode part due to the electromigration phenomenon, further, circuit short circuit is caused.
Electromigration testing is the monitoring of the resistance of an electromigration test structure over time at high temperatures and high currents. In the prior art, a Kelvin four-wire resistance method (Kelvin four-terminal sensing method) is generally adopted in the electromigration test, and the electromigration test structure comprises two loading electrodes and two sensing electrodes. Taking the electromigration test structure shown in fig. 1a to 1b as an example, the electromigration test structure comprises a metal interconnection structure to be tested, a connecting metal wire 13 and a plurality of bonding pads which are electrically connected with each other, wherein the metal interconnection structure to be tested comprises a metal layer 11 to be tested and conductive plugs 12 to be tested positioned at two ends of the metal layer 11 to be tested, and each conductive plug 12 to be tested is electrically connected with one end of the connecting metal wire 13 respectively; the plurality of pads includes the first loading electrode F11, the first sensing electrode S11, the second loading electrode F21, the second sensing electrode S21, the first pad 14 and the second pad 15, and may include other pads not shown. During testing, a test current is applied to the metal interconnection structure to be tested through the first loading electrode F11 or the second loading electrode F21, the metal interconnection structure to be tested is controlled to generate high temperature through the test current so as to accelerate the electromigration degradation phenomenon, and after a preset test time, whether the electromigration failure occurs in the metal interconnection structure to be tested is determined by measuring whether the change value of the resistance between the first sensing electrode S11 and the second sensing electrode S21 before and after the test exceeds a failure value.
Because the dicing street area A1 contains a plurality of bonding pads, a probe card matched with the layout of the plurality of bonding pads can be adopted to test the device at wafer level during electromigration test; however, since the metal layer 11 to be tested, the conductive plugs 12 to be tested and part of the connecting metal lines 13 are located in the chip area, and the other part of the connecting metal lines 13 and the plurality of bonding pads are located in the scribe line area A1, the electromigration test structures shown in fig. 1a and 1b occupy the area of the chip area, and affect the wiring design of the chip area, and further affect the performance of the chip.
Especially, due to the consideration of cost, the width of the dicing street area is continuously reduced (for example, from 90 μm to 45 μm), so that the electromigration test structure occupies more area of the chip area, and the wiring design of the chip area is affected, thereby affecting the performance of the device; if the electromigration test structure is to be fully compressed to the scribe line region, the area of the chip region is not occupied, and then some of the pads (e.g., the first pad 14 and the second pad 15) in the scribe line region A1 need to be removed, which results in that the wafer-level rapid test cannot be performed by using the probe card (because the rigid material of the structure below the removed pads damages the probes on the probe card), the package-level test can only be performed, which results in additional packaging cost and increased cycle time (production period); in addition, the conventional electromigration test structure can only obtain the change condition of the total resistance value of the whole metal interconnection structure to be tested before and after the test, the specific position of failure on the metal interconnection structure to be tested cannot be directly judged through the electrical test, the electromigration failure position can only be confirmed through multiple slice analysis, and the efficiency is low.
Therefore, how to improve the conventional electromigration test structure to solve the above-mentioned problems is a current urgent need.

The metal interconnection structure to be tested comprises a metal layer to be tested 21 and conductive plugs to be tested 22 positioned at two ends of the metal layer to be tested 21. The conductive plugs 22 to be tested are located above two ends of the metal layer 21 to be tested, and the conductive plugs 22 to be tested may have a one-layer structure, a two-layer structure or a structure with more than two layers.

As shown in fig. 4b, two layers of the conductive plugs 22 to be tested are formed above two ends of the metal layer 21 to be tested, the upper and lower layers of the conductive plugs 22 to be tested on one end of the metal layer 21 to be tested, which is close to the second sensing electrode S22, are electrically connected by a connecting metal wire 25, and the upper and lower layers of the conductive plugs 22 to be tested on one end of the metal layer 21 to be tested, which is close to the first sensing electrode S12, are electrically connected by a third test metal layer 233.
In addition, the test metal layer and the test conductive plug connected below each third sensing electrode are used for performing auxiliary test judgment on the failure position of electromigration, and the number of layers of the test metal layer below the third sensing electrode, the connection positions between the test metal layers of different layers and the test conductive plug, and the connection positions between the test conductive plug and two ends of the metal layer 21 to be tested can be adjusted, so that a plurality of different series circuits are formed between the third sensing electrode, different segmentation parts of the test metal layer below the third sensing electrode and the test conductive plug and the metal layer 21 to be tested, the first loading electrode F12 and the second loading electrode F22, and further the failure position of electromigration is further judged.
The electromigration test structure is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in fig. 2a to 2b, 3a to 3b, and 4a to 4 b. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, a plurality of the third sensing electrodes are denoted by different reference numerals, and a plurality of the test metal layers and a plurality of the test conductive plugs are denoted by different names and reference numerals.
As shown in fig. 2a and 2b, the electromigration test structure includes a third sensing electrode S32, a layer of the test metal layer 231 is electrically connected below the third sensing electrode S32, one end of the test metal layer 231 is electrically connected to the two ends of the underlying metal layer 21 to be tested through a first test conductive plug 241, and the first test conductive plug 241 divides the portion between the two ends of the metal layer 21 to be tested (i.e. the portion between the two ends of the metal layer 22 to be tested). The position of the metal layer to be measured 21 connected to the first test conductive plug 241 may be located near one end of the first sensing electrode S12, near one end of the second sensing electrode S22, or near the middle of the metal layer to be measured 21. Compared with the electromigration test structures shown in fig. 1a and 1b, the electromigration test structures shown in fig. 2a and 2b can determine whether the failure location is located in a section of the circuit between the conductive plug under test 22 and the first conductive plug under test 241 (including the conductive plug under test 22 and the conductive plug under test 241) near the first sensing electrode S12 or in a section of the circuit between the first conductive plug under test 241 and the conductive plug under test 22 near the second sensing electrode S22 (including the conductive plug under test 241 and the conductive plug under test 22), so that the specific failure location can be quickly determined by analyzing the electrical data.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the electromigration test structure includes two third sensing electrodes, namely, a first third sensing electrode S32 and a second third sensing electrode S42, a first test metal layer 231 is electrically connected below the first third sensing electrode S32, a second test metal layer 232 is electrically connected below the second third sensing electrode S42, the first test metal layer 231 and the second test metal layer 232 may be located at the same layer at intervals, one end of the first test metal layer 231 is electrically connected with two ends of the metal layer 21 under test through a first test conductive plug 241, one end of the second test metal layer 232 is electrically connected with two ends of the metal layer 21 under test through a second test conductive plug 242, and the first test conductive plug 241 and the second test conductive plug 242 divide the portion (i.e., the portion 22 between two ends of the metal layer 21 under test) into three conductive segments. The position of the metal layer 21 to be tested electrically connected to the first test conductive plugs 241 and the second test conductive plugs 242 may be located near one end of the first sensing electrode S12, near one end of the second sensing electrode S22, or near the middle of the metal layer 21 to be tested. In comparison with the electromigration test structures shown in fig. 1a and 1b, the electromigration test structures shown in fig. 3a and 3b are capable of determining whether the failure is located in a section of the circuit between the conductive plug under test 22 and the first conductive plug under test 241 (including the conductive plug under test 22 and the first conductive plug under test 241) near the first sensing electrode S12, or in a section of the circuit between the first conductive plug under test 241 and the second conductive plug under test 242 (including the first conductive plug under test 241 and the second conductive plug under test 242), or in a section of the circuit between the second conductive plug under test 242 and the conductive plug under test 22 near the second sensing electrode S22 (including the second conductive plug under test 242 and the conductive plug under test 22); in addition, compared with the electromigration test structures shown in fig. 2a and 2b, the metal layer 21 to be tested is divided into more sections, so that the specific position of failure can be rapidly judged by analyzing the electrical data.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4a and 4b, the electromigration test structure includes two third sensing electrodes, namely a first third sensing electrode S32 and a second third sensing electrode S42, a first test metal layer 231 and a lower third test metal layer 233 are connected below the first third sensing electrode S32 near the first sensing electrode S12, one end of the first test metal layer 231 is electrically connected to one end of the third test metal layer 233 through a first test conductive plug 241, the other end of the third test metal layer 233 is electrically connected to a conductive plug 22 to be tested on one end of the metal layer 21 to be tested (i.e. one end near the first sensing electrode S12), and the other end of the third test metal layer 233 is also electrically connected to the first sensing electrode S12 through a conductive plug 22 to be tested above; a second test metal layer 232 on the upper layer and a fourth test metal layer 234 on the lower layer are connected below a second third sensing electrode S42 close to the second sensing electrode S22, one end of the second test metal layer 232 is electrically connected with one end of the fourth test metal layer 234 through a second test conductive plug 242, the other end of the fourth test metal layer 234 is electrically connected with a position between two ends of the metal layer 21 to be tested (i.e. a position between the conductive plugs 22 to be tested at two ends) through a third test conductive plug 243, and the third test conductive plug 243 divides a portion between two ends of the metal layer 21 to be tested into two sections. The position of the metal layer to be tested 21 electrically connected to the third test conductive plug 243 may be located near one end of the first sensing electrode S12, near one end of the second sensing electrode S22, or near the middle of the metal layer to be tested 21. The electromigration test structures shown in fig. 4a and 4b can determine, by analyzing the electrical data, whether the failure location is located in a section of the circuit between the conductive plug under test 22 and the third conductive plug under test 243 (including the conductive plug under test 22 and the third conductive plug under test 243) near the first sensing electrode S12 or in a section of the circuit between the third conductive plug under test 243 and the conductive plug under test 22 near the second sensing electrode S22 (including the third conductive plug under test 243 and the conductive plug under test 22), that is, which section of the conductive plug under test 22 on the metal layer under test 21 and both ends is located; in addition, it can also be determined whether the electromigration failure location is located in the third test metal layer 233, the first test conductive plug 241, the fourth test metal layer 234, and the second test conductive plug 242, so as to exclude whether a failure occurs at a location other than the to-be-tested metal layer 21 and the to-be-tested conductive plug 22, and further quickly and effectively analyze the failure location.
Therefore, as shown in the embodiments of fig. 2a to 2b, 3a to 3b and 4a to 4b, as the number of the third sensing electrodes, the number of layers of the test metal layer below the third sensing electrodes and the number of segments separated by the test conductive plugs between the two ends of the metal layer to be tested 21 increase, the number of series circuits formed between the third sensing electrodes and the different segmented portions of the test metal layer below and the test conductive plugs and the metal layer to be tested 21, the first loading electrode F12 and the second loading electrode F22 increases, so that the specific positions of the failures can be obtained through analysis of electrical data, and the specific positions of the failures can be avoided through multiple slice analysis, thereby saving time and cost.
In addition, for devices such as 3D-ICs with large-size complex structures, the Critical Dimension (CD) is larger, the occupied area of the device region is larger, the occupied area of the dicing channel region is smaller, and the electromigration test structure is more effective for electromigration failure analysis of the large-size complex structures such as 3D-ICs.

If the first loading electrode F12 is used as an input end, the second loading electrode F22 is grounded; alternatively, if the second loading electrode F22 is used as an input terminal, the first loading electrode F12 is grounded; or, if the first loading electrode F12 and the second loading electrode F22 are sequentially used as input ends, the one end which is not used as an input end is grounded, that is, the first loading electrode F12 is used as an input end and the second loading electrode F22 is grounded for testing, and then the second loading electrode F22 is used as an input end and the first loading electrode F12 is grounded for testing, and the failure position of electromigration is judged through two tests, so that the judgment result is more accurate.
The first loading electrode F12 is used as an input end to input a current I F12 The second loading electrode F22 is grounded to illustrate the calculation formulas of the initial resistance value and the test resistance value, and it should be noted that, since the calculation formulas of the initial resistance value and the test resistance value of the same circuit are the same, the calculation formulas describing the resistance values are unified below, the two calculation formulas are not distinguished, and the initial voltage value and the test voltage value are uniformly described as voltage values 。

In addition, if the second loading electrode F22 is used as the input end to input the current I F22 The above-mentioned calculation formula of the resistance value of each section of circuit in fig. 2 a-4 b can be the difference between the voltage value measured at the sensing electrode close to the input end and the voltage value measured at the sensing electrode far from the input end divided by the input current I F22

According to step S3, it is determined whether each of the plurality of resistance offset values is greater than a preset failure value.
The preset failure value may be defined according to an industry test standard of wafer level testing, for example, the preset failure value may be 3%, that is, the test resistance value deviates by more than 3% from the initial resistance value of the corresponding circuit, and the corresponding circuit fails.
And according to the step S4, determining the electromigration failure position of the metal interconnection structure to be tested according to the resistance offset value larger than the preset failure value. Specifically, the position between the two sensing electrodes corresponding to the resistance offset value larger than the preset failure value is determined as the electromigration failure position of the metal interconnection structure to be tested.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2a to 2b, if only the resistance offset value of the resistance value R1 is greater than the preset failure value, the electromigration failure location is located at the position of the conductive plug 22 to be tested close to the first sensing electrode S12, the position of the first test conductive plug 241 or the position of the metal layer 21 to be tested between the conductive plug 22 to be tested and the first test conductive plug 241 of the first sensing electrode S12, but not in a section of the circuit between the first test conductive plug 241 and the conductive plug 22 to be tested close to the second sensing electrode S22, so that the failure location is avoided by performing a plurality of slice analyses on the whole section of the metal interconnect structure to be tested, so that the failure location can be obtained by analyzing the electrical data, and the speed of obtaining the failure location by analyzing is improved; if the resistance deviation value of the resistance value R2 is larger than the preset failure value, the corresponding failure position can be obtained in the same way.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3a to 3b, if only the resistance offset value of the resistance value R1 is greater than the preset failure value, the failure position is located in a section of the circuit between the to-be-tested conductive plug 22 adjacent to the first sensing electrode S12 and the first test conductive plug 241; if the resistance offset value of the resistance value R2 is greater than the preset failure value, the failure position is located in a section of the circuit between the to-be-tested conductive plug 22 and the second test conductive plug 242 close to the first sensing electrode S12, and the resistance offset value of the resistance value R1 is less than the preset failure value, and the resistance offset value of the resistance value R5 is greater than the preset failure value, it may be determined that the failure position is located in a section of the circuit between the first test conductive plug 241 and the second test conductive plug 242. Therefore, by the combination analysis between the resistance offset value of the resistance value R1 and the resistance offset value of the resistance value R5, it can be determined which part of the circuit the failure position is located in, and compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 2a to 2b, the number of segments of the metal layer 21 to be tested is increased, so that the range of the failure position is further reduced, and the analysis speed is improved.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4a to 4b, if only the resistance offset value of the resistance value R1 is greater than the preset failure value, the failure position is located in the circuit between the conductive plug 22 to be tested on the third test metal layer 233 and the first test conductive plug 241, which is close to the first sensing electrode S12, that is, the failure position is excluded from being located in the metal layer 21 to be tested, but is located in other circuits; if the resistance offset of the resistance values R3 and R4 is greater than the preset failure value and the resistance offset of the resistance value R5 is less than the preset failure value, the failure position is excluded from being located in a section of the circuit between the first test conductive plug 241 and the second test conductive plug 242, but is located in a circuit between the third test conductive plug 243 and the conductive plug 22 to be tested located on the connecting metal line 25 near the second sensing electrode S22. Therefore, compared to the embodiments shown in fig. 2a to 3b, it is also possible to determine whether the failure location is located in a structure other than the metal interconnection structure under test (i.e., the third test metal layer 233 and the fourth test metal layer 234).
According to the steps S1 to S4, the electromigration situation is tested and analyzed by adopting the test sample containing the electromigration test structure provided by the invention, so that the failure position can be obtained by analyzing the electrical data, and the speed of confirming the electromigration failure position can be improved; in addition, as the test is carried out by the loading electrode and the sensing electrode, the wafer level test can be carried out by adopting the probe card, the test speed is improved, and the cost of the package level test is saved; and the method is more effective for electromigration failure analysis of large-size complex structures such as 3D-ICs.
