Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to specific embodiments, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification. The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 8. It should be noted that the drawings provided in the present embodiment are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present invention, and the drawings only show the components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the type, quantity and proportion of each component in actual implementation may be changed arbitrarily, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a large-size chip lithography splicing method, which is particularly suitable for the case of a pattern module with a repetitive small structure in the large-size chip, and the splicing method includes the following steps:
s1: designing a splicing reticle, which comprises splitting the large-size chip 10 into a plurality of small-structure pattern modules 11 (shown in fig. 2 and 3), finding out repetitive small-structure pattern modules, then manufacturing the patterns of one or more different repetitive small-structure pattern modules on one reticle 12 (shown in fig. 5 and 6) according to the area of each repetitive small-structure pattern module, and simultaneously manufacturing the patterns of at least one non-repetitive small-structure pattern module on one reticle 12 (shown in fig. 4) according to the area of each small-structure pattern module until all the patterns of all the small-structure pattern modules are manufactured on a plurality of reticles 12 to form the splicing reticle;
s2: performing a photoetching splicing process of a first layer by adopting a stepping photoetching machine, wherein the photoetching splicing process comprises the steps of carrying out splicing photoetching, etching and photoresist removing on a large-size chip subjected to photoetching on the first layer based on the splicing photoetching plate;
s3: performing a photoetching splicing process of a second layer by adopting the stepping photoetching machine, wherein the photoetching splicing process comprises splicing photoetching, etching and photoresist removing of a large-size chip subjected to photoetching of the second layer based on the spliced photoetching plate;
s4: and repeating the step S3 until the splicing photoetching process of all the layers of the large-size chip is completed.
As an example, the large-size chip is a chip made of any existing semiconductor material, and in this embodiment, the large-size chip is made of a silicon material.
It should be noted that, in step S1, when designing the splicing reticle, if the small structure pattern blocks 11 formed by splitting the large-sized chip 10 are all repetitive small structure pattern blocks 11, rather than having non-repeating small feature pattern modules, then in designing the tiled reticle, one or more different patterns of repeating small feature pattern modules need only be patterned on a reticle 12, based on the area of each repeating small feature pattern module, such as shown in figure 5, a pattern H, B having 2 different repetitive small feature pattern modules is created on a reticle 12, as shown in figure 6, the number of the patterns E of 1 repetitive small-structure pattern module manufactured on the photoetching plate 12 is determined by the area of the small-structure pattern module and the exposure field area of the stepping photoetching machine. If a plurality of small structural pattern modules 11 formed by splitting the large-size chip 10 have both repetitive small structural pattern modules 11 and non-repetitive small structural pattern modules, then when designing the splicing reticle, a pattern of the non-repetitive small structural pattern module and a pattern of the repetitive small structural pattern module can be made on one reticle 12, as shown in fig. 4, a pattern I, G, C, A of 4 non-repetitive small structural pattern modules and a pattern F, D of 2 different repetitive small structural pattern modules are made on one reticle 12; or only the pattern of the non-repetitive small-structure pattern module can be made on one reticle 12, and the pattern of the repetitive small-structure pattern module can be made on other reticles 12. The above method of how to make the pattern of the small-structure pattern module on one reticle 12 is set according to the specific structure of different large-size chips, and is determined in principle according to the area of each repetitive small-structure pattern module, the area of a non-repetitive small-structure pattern module and the exposure field area of the stepper, and the stepper is considered to be convenient for exposure.
When the splicing photoetching plate is prepared, the small-area repetitive structure pattern module in the large-size chip is found out in advance, the pattern of the small-area repetitive structure pattern module is manufactured on the photoetching plate, the exposure effect of the complete pattern in the local area in the large-size chip is completed by utilizing the characteristic of repetitive exposure of a stepping photoetching machine, the pattern occupancy rate on the photoetching plate is greatly reduced, and the utilization rate of the effective exposure area of the photoetching plate is greatly improved; in addition, the number of the photoetching plates can be effectively reduced, the cost of the photoetching plates is greatly reduced, the exposure speed of large-size chips during photoetching can be increased, and the productivity is improved.
As shown in fig. 4, as an example, in step S2, an alignment mark 14 is formed on the first reticle 13 that is subjected to photolithography based on the splicing reticle, and after step S2 is completed, the pattern of the alignment mark 14 is transferred to the large-size chip 10 to be used as an alignment basis for a subsequent splicing photolithography process for all levels of the large-size chip 10. It is known that, in the process of the chip lithography process, since the first layer lithography can only adopt pre-alignment, the alignment accuracy is poor, and is usually about tens of microns, the first layer lithography pattern of the large-sized chip cannot be completed by using a splicing method, so that a zero-layer lithography plate with an alignment mark pattern is usually required to be manufactured first, so as to make an alignment mark for the subsequent level lithography alignment on the large-sized chip in advance, which adds a lithography plate and further increases the complexity of replacing the lithography plate. According to the invention, the alignment mark 14 is manufactured on the first photoetching plate 13, so that after the photoetching process of the first layer, the alignment mark 14 is formed while the required normal pattern is formed on the large-size chip, and a zero-layer photoetching plate is saved; in addition, the alignment mark 14 is used for alignment in the subsequent splicing lithography process of all layers of the large-size chip 10, so that the alignment mark is only required to be manufactured on one photoetching plate, and each exposure module is not required to manufacture the alignment mark, so that the occupied space of the alignment mark can be effectively reduced, and the alignment precision can be improved.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, as a further example, in step S2, the patterns of the small structural pattern modules 11 located at 4 corners of the large-sized chip 10 are formed on the first reticle 13, and the alignment mark 14 is formed on the pattern of the small structural pattern module 11 located at one corner, for example, the pattern of the small structural pattern module a. Here, it is not limited whether the small structural pattern module 11 of 4 corners of the large-sized chip 10 is repeated, and the small structural pattern module may be a repetitive small structural pattern module, a non-repetitive small structural pattern module, or a combination of a repetitive small structural pattern module and a non-repetitive small structural pattern module. Since the small structural patterning module 11 with 4 corners of the large-sized chip 10 is an area where each adjacent large-sized chip is adjacent to each other, it is disposed on the same reticle for exposure.
As a further example, as shown in fig. 4, in step S2, the first reticle 13 is further patterned with one or more different repetitive small structure pattern modules. Such as the 2 different repetitive small structure graphics modules F, D of fig. 4. In this case, as a preferred example, the step S2 of the first layer photolithography splicing process includes:
s2-1, performing lithography, etching and photoresist stripping on the large-sized chip 10 by the first lithography layer based on the pattern of the 4 corner small structure pattern modules 11 on the first reticle 13, so as to transfer the pattern on the 4 corner small structure pattern modules 11 to the large-sized chip 10, and simultaneously transfer the alignment mark 14 to the large-sized chip 10;
s2-2, performing photolithography, etching and photoresist removal on the large-size chip 10 subjected to the first layer photolithography based on the patterns of the one or more different repetitive small-structure pattern modules on the first reticle 13 and the other splicing reticles, so as to implement a first layer photolithography process for the large-size chip 10.
It should be noted that, in step S2, the first layer is any one of the plurality of layers in the manufacturing process of the large-size chip 10, and the first layer is a lithography of the any one layer; the second layer is any layer subsequent to the first layer, and the second layer is subjected to photoetching. Preferably, the first layer is a first layer in the manufacturing process of the large-size chip 10, and the second layer is a layer subsequent to the first layer, that is, the photoetching splicing method provided by the invention is used from the first layer in the manufacturing process of the large-size chip 10, so that the improvement of the chip productivity, the improvement of the exposure speed and the improvement of the utilization rate of the effective exposure area of the photoetching plate are more obvious.
By way of example, the stepper may be any type of stepper known in the art, such as an i-line or duv line lithography machine.
In order to further understand the method for photo-lithographically splicing the large-size chips of the present invention, the photo-lithographically process of the far-infrared sensor chip, which is 40mm by 40mm, is described as an example, and a total of 11 photo-lithographically processes are required. The photoetching splicing method comprises the following steps:
1) splitting a large-size chip of the far infrared sensor, namely splitting a large-size chip 10 into 16 small-structure graphic modules 11 shown in fig. 3; then find out the repetitive small-structure pattern module, where the repetitive small-structure pattern module has B1-B2-B, D1-D2-D, F1-F2-F, H1-H2-H, E1-E2-E3-E4-E, and the other 4 small-structure pattern modules A, G, C, I are 4 corners of the large-size chip and also are adjacent areas of each adjacent large-size chip.
2) Making a splicing photoetching plate, and making 3 photoetching plates as splicing photoetching plates of a first layer according to the area of each repetitive small-structure pattern module, the area of 4 corner small-structure pattern modules and the area of a photoetching plate exposure field, wherein as shown in fig. 4, the first photoetching plate 13 is made with patterns of two groups of small-structure pattern modules, the first group is the patterns of 4 corner small-structure pattern modules A, G, C, I, an alignment mark (not shown in the figure) is made in the pattern of the small-structure pattern module A, and the second group is the patterns of 2 different repetitive small-structure pattern modules F, D; as shown in fig. 5, second reticle 12 has 2 different patterns of repetitive small structure pattern modules H, B fabricated thereon; as shown in fig. 6, the third reticle 12 is patterned with 1 repetitive small structure pattern module E.
3) The first layer of photoetching splicing process is carried out by adopting a stepping photoetching machine, and because the small structure pattern modules A, G, C, I of 4 corners are adjacent regions of each adjacent large-size chip, the exposure is convenient, the photoetching of A, G, C, I regions of four corners in all the large-size chips is completed on the substrate silicon at one time based on the patterns of the first group of small structure pattern modules on the first photoetching plate 13, and the patterning and the photoresist removal are etched (as shown in figure 7), so that the patterns on the small structure pattern modules of 4 corners are transferred to the large-size chips 10, and simultaneously the alignment marks are transferred to the large-size chips 10; then, by using the alignment mark in the region A of the small structure pattern module of the large-size chip, sequentially using the patterns of the second group of small structure pattern modules on the first photoetching plate 13, the patterns on the second photoetching plate and the patterns on the third photoetching plate, carrying out photoetching splicing process after aligning the residual region in the first layer of photoetching patterns of the large-size chip; and finally, etching, patterning and photoresist removing are carried out, so that the photoetching splicing process of the first layer of the large-size chip is completed (as shown in figure 8). The process of this step is a key point of this embodiment, that is, the alignment mark is placed in advance in the region a of the first reticle, after one-time photolithography, etching and photoresist removal processes, the normal chip pattern and the alignment mark are both retained, and then the alignment mark in this region is used to complete the alignment post-splicing process of other regions of the first layer pattern of the chip, so that the alignment accuracy between the regions is improved from tens of micrometers to tens of nanometers, even several nanometers.
4) The step-type photoetching machine is adopted to carry out photoetching splicing process of a second layer, the alignment mark on the first layer of the pattern of the large-size chip is utilized, and the splicing photoetching plate in the step 2) is used for realizing the splicing photoetching, etching and photoresist removal of the large-size chip subjected to the photoetching of the second layer, wherein the splicing sequence of the pattern is the same as that of the first layer, but the alignment mark exists after the first layer of the patterning process, so that when the layer is processed, only the photoetching splicing is finished, and then the etching process is carried out once.
5) And repeating the step 4) until the photoetching, etching and photoresist removing processes of the remaining 9 layers of patterns are completed in sequence.
In this embodiment, 11 layers are used for photoetching, and compared with the prior art, the photoetching splicing method of the invention can manufacture one fewer photoetching plate per layer, does not need a zero-layer photoetching plate, can save 12 photoetching plates, greatly reduces the cost of the photoetching plate, can improve the exposure speed of a chip during photoetching, and effectively improves the productivity; in addition, only the alignment mark is left on the first layer of photoetching pattern, the alignment mark is utilized to align in the subsequent layers, only step-by-step photoetching splicing is needed, step-by-step etching is not needed, and photoetching complexity is reduced; finally, only one alignment mark of the photoetching machine needs to be placed, and each exposure module does not need to be placed with the alignment mark, so that the occupied space of the alignment mark is greatly reduced, and the alignment precision is improved.
In summary, the present invention provides a large-sized chip photo-etching splicing method, when a splicing reticle is prepared, a small-area repetitive structure pattern module in a large-sized chip is found in advance, and a pattern thereof is made on a reticle, and the characteristic of repetitive exposure of a stepper is utilized to complete the exposure effect of a complete pattern in a local area in the large-sized chip, thereby greatly reducing the pattern occupancy rate on the reticle, and greatly improving the utilization rate of an effective exposure area of the reticle; in addition, the number of the photoetching plates can be effectively reduced, the cost of the photoetching plates is greatly reduced, the exposure speed of large-size chips during photoetching can be increased, and the productivity is improved.
