Description

Be applied to the implanted reliability analysis system of production of semiconductor products
Technical field
The present invention relates to use implanted reliability analysis system (building-in-reliability diagnosissystem, BIRDS), relate in particular to and use the in-building type reliability analysis system in the reliability analysis of wafer level (wafer-level) in production of semiconductor products.
Background technology
In the known technology, be mostly after wafer completion, crystal grain (chip) cutting are finished with the individual die encapsulation, the just reliability analysis of the semiconductor element that carries out and QC test.This is encapsulation level reliability (package-level reliability, test analysis PLR) general title.And because encapsulation level reliability analysis is used widely, not only Xiang Guan technology and product are ripe, test the gained data and analyze the also existing enough public credibility of gained result.
But encapsulation level reliability analysis has a unavoidable shortcoming: what relevant testing procedure was suitable takes time, easily the several months long.Therefore, along with commodity lifetime of semiconductor product shortens fast, the just predicament in the face of facing a difficult choice of the use of encapsulation level reliability analysis: if the several months consuming time encapsulates the reliability that the level reliability analysis is determined certain product, this product has often been missed market opportunity; If not making complete encapsulation level reliability analysis just allows certain launch to strive for timeliness, can not determine the reliability of this product again.
Simultaneously, along with the complexity day by day of semiconductor product, the board of the required step of carrying out of encapsulation level reliability analysis, required use and the number of required specimen all significantly increase.Owing in the known technology,,, do not have the QC and the reliability of all departments of integration (step/board/sample) with the QC and splendidization of reliability of this step/board/sample though individual steps, indivedual board and individual samples all have the special messenger to be responsible for.Therefore, the reliability of encapsulation level reliability analysis often can not splendidization (because may cancel out each other between the different departments), and Different Individual can not be shared each other experience and information.
In recent years, at encapsulation level reliability analysis shortcoming of a specified duration excessively consuming time, develop gradually such as companies such as moral continent instruments and the faster wafer level of test speed (wafer-level) reliability analysis.By in each die process on wafer or form and just to carry out reliability test after good, to be testedly (survey as the wafer pin, CP), can reduce the needed time of reliability test significantly by just cutting the practice of encapsulation after the checking.Certainly, the two step of wafer level reliability analysis and encapsulation level reliability analysis is different.
But, the practical application of known wafer level reliability analysis, still can meet with following two shortcomings: the first, known wafer level reliability analysis also can't effectively integrate the QC and the reliability of each step/board/sample, therefore often can not be with whole QC and reliability optimization; The second, some wafer level reliability analysis lacks experimental data and rationale, proves that itself and encapsulation level reliability analysis are equivalences.
In sum, the known technology relevant with reliability with the QC of manufacture of semiconductor all has the shortcoming of can not ignore that waits to solve.
Summary of the invention
Main purpose of the present invention provides the yield and the reliability that can effectively integrate each step/board/sample, and then with whole QC and reliability method for optimizing.
Another main purpose of the present invention provides data can prove the two method of equivalence and corresponding relation whether of wafer level reliability analysis and encapsulation level reliability analysis.
Essential characteristic of the present invention is to use the implanted reliability analysis that just is suggested in recent years, integrates each level reliability analysis.Particularly use database (database) and the analysis tool that is based upon various reliability analysis test datas, effectively bring into play the reliability analysis of various levels.Because the implanted reliability analysis system is a known technology, will seldom introduce at this, relevant details can be consulted at least: W.K.T.Kary Chien ﹠amp; Charles H.J.Huang, " Practical Building-In Reliability (BIR) Approaches forSemiconductor Manufacturing ", IEEE Transactions on Reliability, vol.51, no 3, and September 2002.
Application of the present invention at least also can have following several characteristic:
(1) utilize BIRDS, can grasp the relation of any parameter and final result, no matter this parameter is the parameter of final measurement/final products, or the parameter of middle measurements/intermediate products.Therefore, by reference BIRDS, can the product design stage just effectively assess each details with to the influence of final products reliability/quality, and need not wait until measurement and the correction of just carrying out reliability after product forms.
(2) any problem relevant with reliability can be recalled previously data by BIRDS, finds basic reason effectively according to experience and by inference engine.
(3) because BIRDS is the system of a conformability, can set up the database that comprises all and reliability related item under the prior art.New technology development, processing procedure optimization, processing procedure monitoring, reliability monitoring are improved with yield, important reference frame can be provided.

In addition, because the implanted reliability analysis that present embodiment is quoted is a kind of mode that can be fit to instant (in-time) reaction.Measure in the square 24 in reliability, present embodiment one side often carries out the reliability analysis program, and one side is analyzed corresponding information and integrate.Further, because conventional package level reliability analysis program often can not simultaneously be produced a planar survey, have only wafer level reliability analysis program recently often can simultaneously produce a planar survey, so present embodiment is specially adapted to the wafer level reliability analysis.
At this, because the in-building type reliability analysis is the notion that newly is suggested in recent years, be the notion of known technology and just almost specifically not used, at this, the details at the in-building type reliability analysis is not made an explanation, and just summary is described present embodiment and is used some principal characters of the reliability analysis system that is based upon the in-building type reliability analysis as follows:
(1) do not measure final products passively, but directly measure and most parameters of controlling the final products manufacture process.The flow process parameter of for example running parameter of each machine, or each step is with the precognition production reliability.
Most data of a plurality of the flow processs (sub-flow) (or saying a plurality of steps) of carrying out before and after in (2) the vertical integration entire flow (flow) are used and are overcome in the known technology shortcoming that the indivedual brilliant pipe/reliability relevent informations of homogeneous flow process not can't the systematization interchange.
(3) Horizontal Integration is with a plurality of data of a plurality of unit (as most machines) that carry out respectively simultaneously in flow process, uses the shortcoming that the indivedual QCs/reliability relevent information that overcomes different units in the known technology can't systematization exchanges.
