Description

Device for detecting wide bandgap semiconductor electronic device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a thermal reflection measurement technique, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for testing a wide bandgap semiconductor electronic device.
Background
Under the definite traction of application requirements of 5G communication, new energy automobiles, photovoltaic inverters and the like, third-generation wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN), zinc oxide (ZnO), aluminum nitride (AlN), diamond (diamond) and gallium oxide (Ga)2O3) And the like, have received significant development. With the increasing demands of various applications, the power density of wide bandgap semiconductor electronic devices is increasing, which brings about a severe heat dissipation problem.
Wide bandgap semiconductor electronic device processing involves the growth of multiple materials, such as metal electrodes, dielectric layers, and semiconductor heteroepitaxial layers. From these different processes, a multi-layer structure is grown that is formed from a combination of different materials. The heat dissipation properties of the multilayer structure are determined by two factors: 1. the thermal conductivity of each layer of material; 2. the thermal interface resistance between layers is formed due to lattice mismatch, defects and the like. The characterization of thermal conductivity properties is critical in device development and production.
The traditional thermal property characterization methods, such as a steady-state hot plate method, a transient hot wire method, a laser flash method and the like, are not suitable for thermophysical property detection of wide-bandgap semiconductor electronic devices, because the methods do not have test resolution on micro-nano-scale semiconductors. The currently mainstream micro-nanometer resolution test method is a heat reflection method, which is developed based on the heat reflection principle of metal materials (i.e. the reflectivity change of the surface of the material is in direct proportion to the temperature change). The method can be summarized as follows: emitting a beam of pulsed light to heat the surface of the metal, so that the surface temperature of the material changes transiently; emitting another beam of light to enable the center of the light spot of the other beam of light to coincide with the center of the pulse heating light spot on the surface of the material; the change of the surface temperature of the material causes the change of the light intensity of the reflected light of the second beam of light, and the detector detects the change of the light intensity of the reflected light (namely the temperature change); and fitting the light intensity change signal through a heat transfer model to obtain the heat conductivity and interface thermal resistance parameter values of the material. The method requires a layer of thin film metal on the surface of the material, so the method is also generally called a metal heat reflection method (see the attached figure 1 in the specification). The detection is generally arranged after a device finishes a metal electrode plating process, and can test the interface thermal resistance between metal and wide bandgap semiconductor epitaxy to judge the bonding quality of a metal electrode and test the self thermal property (wide bandgap epitaxial film thermal conductivity and interface thermal resistance between epitaxy/substrate) of a wide bandgap epitaxial material to evaluate the heat dissipation capacity of the wide bandgap epitaxial material. And because the method only needs the surface of the sample with metal and does not depend on the type of the material below the metal, the method can also be regarded as a universal detection method (namely, the method is suitable for detecting various materials). However, feedback is slow because it must be detected after the metallization level process, which can cause the test to be too late. When large-batch detection is carried out on the wide bandgap epitaxial wafer, if the wafer is plated with metal, the destructive detection consumes a large amount of time and cost. In addition, for a metal-plated wide bandgap epitaxial structure, the method needs to analyze a plurality of unknown variable parameters at the same time, brings great uncertainty to a test result, and influences the test precision.
Recently, a heat reflection system dedicated to wide bandgap gan wafers has been developed, which has the capability of direct inspection of gan epitaxial structures without the aid of metal (see fig. 1 right in the specification). The method has the advantages that: the heat conductivity and the defects of the gallium nitride epitaxial wafer can be tested in advance without performing a metal plating treatment process on the gallium nitride epitaxial wafer, so that the feedback is realized quickly. However, this method is limited in that it is impossible to work with materials whose surfaces are subjected to electrode processing. Considering the diversity of the growth process of wide bandgap semiconductor devices (such as gan, sic, etc.), it is desirable to have a compromise between testing the wide bandgap semiconductor epitaxial materials before and after plating the electrodes. Before the electrode plating process, the quality of the wide bandgap epitaxial material is detected to realize timely feedback, detection is performed again after the electrode plating process, whether the electrode process changes the material quality is detected, and the bonding quality of the electrode and the wide bandgap epitaxy can be detected (as shown in figure 2 of the figure). According to the detection scheme, two independent systems, namely a metal heat reflection system and a wide bandgap semiconductor heat reflection system, can be used for detection in different process links, however, the test cost and the process are greatly increased, and the problem of inaccuracy exists due to the fact that the two test systems are adopted, and the error of test data is large.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention realizes a testing device which has the function of detecting the heat-conducting property of a material with a metal surface and a wide bandgap semiconductor surface. The device is provided with a common pulse heating laser light path, and adopts two different detection light paths, wherein different detection lights correspond to a test metal surface and a wide bandgap semiconductor surface. In order to realize the test, a certain optical arrangement scheme is adopted to realize the coincidence of the centers of two detection laser spots and the same pulse heating spot on the surface of the sample.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a device for detecting a wide bandgap semiconductor device comprises a heating optical component, a detection light incidence component, a light path guiding component, a detection reflected light acquisition component and a sample surface monitoring component, wherein the heating optical component generates pulse heating laser; the detection light incidence assembly comprises a first detection laser and a second detection laser, and generates continuous lasers with different wavelength bands, the first detection laser is used for detecting the heat reflection of the surface of the metal material, and the second detection laser is used for detecting the heat reflection of the surface of the wide bandgap semiconductor; the light path guiding component comprises a first dichroic filter and a second dichroic filter; the dichroic filter is arranged on a light path, the plane of the filter and the incidence direction of the first beam of light form 45 degrees, the incidence angle of the second beam of light and the filter is 45 degrees, the incidence direction of the second beam of light and the incidence direction of the first beam of light form 90 degrees, and the first beam of light and the second beam of light are combined and coaxial after passing through the first dichroic filter to form first combined light; the plane of the second dichroic filter forms an angle of 45 degrees with the direction of the first combined beam light, the incident direction of the third beam light forms an angle of 90 degrees with the incident direction of the first combined beam light, and simultaneously forms an angle of 45 degrees with the plane of the second dichroic filter, all three beams of light are combined and coaxial after passing through the second dichroic filter, and finally the light beams are focused on the surface of a sample by a focusing lens; the three beams are pulse heating laser, first detection laser and second detection laser.
Further, the pulse heating laser has a pulse width ranging from tens of picoseconds (ps) to tens of nanoseconds (ns) and a frequency of less than 30 kHz. The principle of the laser wavelength selection basis is as follows: the photon energy corresponding to the selected wavelength is higher than the energy gap (forbidden bandwidth) of the wide forbidden band semiconductor to be detected. The relationship between photon energy and wavelength is: e ═ hc/λ, where λ is the wavelength of light, h is the planck constant, c is the speed of light, and E is the photon energy corresponding to the wavelength of λ. For example, when the wide bandgap semiconductor to be measured is gallium nitride, according to a relation between photon energy and wavelength, the photon energy with a wavelength less than 365nm is higher than the energy gap (3.45eV) of gallium nitride, the thickness of the gallium nitride to the light absorption layer with a wavelength less than 365nm is less than 100nm, the thickness of the metal to the absorption layer is less than 20nm, considering that the epitaxial thickness of the gallium nitride device is usually hundreds of nanometers to several micrometers, the uppermost metal film is usually tens of nanometers to hundreds of nanometers, and it is approximate that the light beam in the band heats both the metal and the gallium nitride on the surface of the material.
Further, at the initial position of the pulse light generation, a beam expanding lens is arranged to expand the pulse light, and the expansion multiple range is 2X-10X.
The detection light incidence component consists of two sets of light paths and generates two beams of continuous laser with different wavelength bands, namely a first detection laser and a second detection laser. The first detection laser is focused on the surface of the metal material and is reflected on the surface to form reflected light (namely a metal heat reflection signal), and the second detection laser is focused on the surface of the wide bandgap semiconductor and is reflected on the surface to form reflected light (namely the wide bandgap semiconductor heat reflection signal).
The detection light incidence assembly comprises a detection laser and a beam splitter, detection light emitted by the detection laser passes through the beam splitter, and then enters the dichroic optical filter by a reflector, and the incidence angle of the detection light and the optical filter is 45 degrees and forms 90 degrees with the incidence direction of pulse light; preferably, the beam splitter may be a combination of 1/2 wave plate, cubic polarization beam splitter and 1/4 wave plate, the detection light emitted by the detection laser sequentially passes through 1/2 wave plate, the beam splitter cubic polarization beam splitter and 1/4 wave plate, and the detection light is incident to the dichroic filter by the mirror. Further preferably, the detection laser emits polarized continuous laser light, which can be expressed as a vector sum of horizontally polarized light (p-light) and vertically polarized light (s-light); preferably, the 1/2 wave plate has a function of adjusting p light and s light in the passed polarization continuous laser light in a ratio of 0:100 to 100: 0.
Further, the first detection laser is polarized continuous light with the wavelength range of 400nm to 800 nm; the wave band is for metals such as aluminum, copper, platinum, nickel, molybdenum and gold, and SrRuO3、LaNiO3The alloy material has good heat reflection characteristic, and the thickness of a light absorption layer of the metal/alloy for the wave band is less than 20nm, so that the light is approximately considered to be reflected on the surface of the metal/alloy material.
Further, the second detection laser is polarized continuous light, and the wavelength selection is based on the following principle: the photon energy corresponding to the selected wavelength is higher than the energy gap (forbidden bandwidth) of the wide forbidden band semiconductor to be detected; for example, when the wide bandgap semiconductor is gan, the photon energy with wavelength less than 365nm is higher than the energy gap (3.45eV) of gan, and the thickness of the absorption layer of gan is less than 100nm for this band, therefore, it is approximately considered that the light is reflected on the surface of gan.
Further, the absolute value of the difference between the second detection laser wavelength and the pulsed heating laser wavelength is at least greater than 10 nm.
Further, the light intensity ratio of the pulse heating laser to the detection laser is larger than 10: 1.
The single pulse laser and the two continuous lasers are not coaxial initially and pass through the optical path guiding component, and the three beams of light are coaxial at the surface of the sample finally (namely the centers of the light spots are coincident). The optical path directing components are as follows:
and arranging a dichroic filter, wherein the plane of the filter forms an angle of 45 degrees with the incident direction of the first beam of light, the incident direction of the second beam of light forms an angle of 90 degrees with the incident direction of the first beam of light, and simultaneously forms an angle of 45 degrees with the plane of the first filter, and the two beams of light are combined and coaxial after passing through the dichroic filter.
Further, the dichroic filter can be a short-wave pass dichroic filter or a long-wave pass dichroic filter; further, if the light passes through the short wave, the light which is smaller than the cut-off wavelength in the two beams of light reaches the optical filter in full transmission, and the light which is larger than the cut-off wavelength reaches the optical filter in total reflection; if the light passes through the long wave, the light which is smaller than the cut-off wavelength in the two beams of light reaches the optical filter in a total reflection mode, and the light which is larger than the cut-off wavelength reaches the optical filter in a total transmission mode;
further, the three laser beams are arranged in order of small to large wavelengths as A, B, and C, and the combined beam should be composed of A and B, or B and C. If consisting of a and B, the cut-off wavelength of the dichroic filter should be chosen to be somewhere between a and B; if B and C are used, the cut-off wavelength of the dichroic filter should be chosen to be somewhere between B and C. And arranging a second dichroic filter, wherein the plane of the filter forms an angle of 45 degrees with the light beam combination direction, the incidence direction of the third light forms an angle of 90 degrees with the light beam combination incidence direction, and forms an angle of 45 degrees with the plane of the second filter, and all three beams of light are combined to be coaxial after passing through the second dichroic filter.
Further, the dichroic filter can be a short-wave pass dichroic filter or a long-wave pass dichroic filter;
further, if the first combined beam consists of a and B, the cut-off wavelength of the second dichroic filter should be selected to be a value between B and C; if the first combined beam consists of B and C, the cut-off wavelength of the second dichroic filter should be chosen to be somewhere between a and B. The three combined beams of light pass through the same focusing mirror and are coaxial on the surface of the sample.
Further, the focusing multiple of the objective lens ranges from 5X to 20X.
After the first or second detection laser is reflected on the surface of the sample, the detection reflected light collection assembly is used for guiding the reflected light to be finally received by the photoelectric detector.
The detection reflected light collection assembly shares the heating light assembly, the light path guide assembly and the focusing mirror, the dichroic filter, the reflector and the beam splitter in the detection light incidence assembly.
The reflected light of the detection light passes through the focusing mirror, the dichroic filter, the reflector and the beam splitter in sequence, the reflected light is partially reflected after passing through the beam splitter to realize the separation of a reflected light path and an incident light path, and then the reflected light is detected by a subsequent detection device; preferably, the beam splitter is a combination of an 1/2 wave plate, a cubic polarization beam splitter and a 1/4 wave plate, the reflected light is totally reflected after passing through the 1/4 wave plate and the cubic polarization beam splitter to realize the separation of the reflected light path and the incident light path, and the optical components are used in combination, so that the detection light reflected light path and the incident light path are separated at the cubic polarization beam splitter and the minimum light intensity loss is kept.
Furthermore, the detection light reflection assembly also comprises a convex lens, a filter plate and a photoelectric detector; the convex lens is used for focusing the reflected light beam; the filter is used for filtering a small amount of pulse laser reflected at the same time; the photoelectric detector is used for receiving the reflected light signal and converting the reflected light signal into an electric signal; the photoelectric detector can be a photoelectric detector with an amplification function or a balanced amplification detector; if a balanced amplification detector is used, a portion of the light to be separated from the incident continuous light is input to one of the ports of the balanced amplification detector, and the reflected light is input to the other port. The received signal is in the form of a transient variation curve of light intensity along with time; the unknown thermal parameters to be measured are obtained by fitting the test curve with the theoretical model.
And the sample surface monitoring assembly is used for monitoring the position of the laser spot on the surface of the sample in real time. The assembly comprises a white light source, a light beam sampling mirror, a convex lens and a CCD camera.

The convex lens 3800 is for focusing the reflected light beam; a second filter 3900 which is a short-wave pass filter or a band-pass filter, wherein if the short-wave pass filter is short-wave pass, the cut-off wavelength is a certain value within the range of 320nm to 355nm, and if the short-wave pass filter is band-pass, the central wavelength is 320nm, and the second filter is used for filtering a small amount of pulse laser reflected at the same time; the first photoelectric detector 4000 with amplification function has a photoelectric responsivity >0.1A/W, a gain > 50kV/A and a bandwidth > 50MHz at a second detection light wavelength (320nm), and is used for testing the reflected light intensity and amplifying a light intensity signal.
The first 3700 or second photodetector 4000 amplifies the received reflected light signal and inputs the amplified reflected light signal to the oscilloscope 4200. The pulsed laser 1000 emits a trigger electrical signal, which is also input to the oscilloscope 4200, and this signal serves as a reference signal for the probe signal. An alternative to setting the reference signal is: laser emitted by the ultraviolet pulser can generate local scattering in a light path, a photoelectric detector is arranged on a scattered light path to collect scattering signals, and then the signals are input into an oscilloscope. Finally, the oscilloscope outputs a transient signal of the change of the light intensity of the reflected light along with time, the signal characteristics are shown in fig. 4, the light intensity of the reflected light is rapidly increased to the maximum value within a few nanoseconds corresponding to the starting point of each pulse reference signal, and then is rapidly attenuated until the next pulse signal comes. The time length between pulses is equal to 1/laser frequency, and the corresponding reflected light signals under each pulse signal are consistent, so that one reflected light signal can be arbitrarily selected for reading when data of the oscilloscope are read.
The sample surface monitoring assembly comprises: a light beam sampling mirror-1400, which reflects 1% -10% of the incident light at an angle of 45 degrees with the plane where the light beam sampling mirror is located, and transmits the rest light; a third convex lens-1500 for focusing light; a CCD camera-1600 for imaging; a white light source-1900 for providing illumination to the sample surface. After the laser and white light reflected by the surface of the sample reach the beam sampling mirror 1400, the small-proportion reflection is focused by the convex lens 1500 and captured by the CCD camera 1600.

It is to be noted that, in the case where the upper surface of the material is metal, the thermal conductivity of the metal is also set as an "input parameter". These "input parameters" are typically referred to in the literature or obtained through additional experimentation. Where the spot radius is typically measured by the method of knife edge, or by a beam profiler. The fitting process may use common non-linear fitting methods such as the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The data obtained by fitting needs to be subjected to error analysis, and the Monte Carnot error statistical method can be used as an error analysis method.
It should be noted that the detection of other wide bandgap devices, such as 4H-silicon carbide, 6H-silicon carbide, zinc oxide, aluminum gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, gallium oxide, diamond, can be achieved by the same principles and methods. Therefore, any similar detection arrangement scheme for other wide bandgap devices is subject to the present invention.
