The mould and the manufacture method thereof of preparation electron microscope detection sample
Technical field
The present invention relates to the mould of preparation test sample in the fabrication of semiconductor device, particularly the mould and the manufacture method thereof of preparation electron microscope detection sample.
Background technology
Usually to come test sample in the fabrication of semiconductor device, to determine proper technical conditions with for example transmission electron microscope.It is of crucial importance to prepare satisfactory electron microscope detection sample, the degree of accuracy height of electron microscope detection sample, and the preparation work of sample is difficulty too.
Current one of the most frequently used method of electron microscope detection sample for preparing is, boule wafer is sticked on the operator's console with paraffin, at first mechanical buffing, carry out mechanical lapping with fine emery powder paper then, particles of silicon carbide diameter on the sand paper is about 1 μ m, uses progressively ground sample of different waterproof abrasive paper and emery sand paper (the particles of silicon carbide diameter is from 15 μ m-1 μ m).The thickness of the boule wafer of preparation detection sample in use for electron microscope is 0.5cm-1.0cm, and the thickness of sample of making after the grinding is 10 μ m-15 μ m.
Grinding steps through above can obtain the sample of thickness less than 20 μ m at last.Having only thickness is that the sample of 10 μ m-15 μ m just is convenient to utilize the ion milling board that sample is carried out further reduction processing, is convenient to final sample by transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging.Thickness of sample behind the mechanical reduction will directly determine the employed time of ion milling, and the observed result of transmission electron microscope and image quality, in order to obtain higher sample preparation efficient and better image quality, sample thickness is got over Bao Yuehao under the not cracked prerequisite of sample, and best thickness is below the 15 μ m.
The current the most frequently used method of electron microscope detection sample for preparing is that at first mechanical buffing is ground with fine emery powder paper then.This method is by operating personnel's manual operations, and what is called " paster " method that adopts is that boule wafer is pasted on the operator's console with paraffin usually, grinds then.In paster operation, blank sheet tilts easily, is not easy to reach desired levelness, and is too big if paster tilts, and can cause the sample became uneven, and the place that observe does not reach required thickness, even can shine into local thickness of sample and cross thin and cracked.And operating personnel need according to the end point of feeling to control grinding.Thick by the most sample of sample after grinding greater than 15 μ m, do not reach the optimum thickness (0.5cm-1.0cm) of requirement.Have only the thickness of sample of small part to meet the requirements, simultaneously, the quality of sample is subjected to artificial factor too big.
Whether operating personnel will be with just becoming skilled grinding personnel for a long time, ground also very difficult even the operating personnel that know a thing or two will determine sample.Sample can be crossed grinding usually, that is to say, has damaged sample, must prepare electron microscope detection sample again, and the current this method for preparing electron microscope detection sample is time-consuming, and it is very difficult to prepare satisfactory sample.
