Description
The present invention relates to a three-dimensional thermal image filming apparatus and method for calculating a thermal shape of an object to be measured by using a thermal signal radiated from a sample such as a wafer used for a semiconductor and a semiconductor, .
2. Description of the Related Art [0002] Recently, due to the high integration and miniaturization of semiconductor devices and the complexity of the manufacturing process, various quantities have been generated that cause problems in device operation.
The occurrence of such defects is a cause of deterioration of the performance and yield of the semiconductor device, and the semiconductor device manufacturing companies are carrying out many efforts to solve the problem.
In general, known causes of defects include microwave misalignment, impurity concentration, nonuniformity of the wafer interior such as thin film thickness, micro-defects in the wafer, and the like. Examples of the defective types include metal wiring short circuit, local resistance increase, contact resistance abnormality, Leakage, oxide breakdown, and device latch-up.
Therefore, in recent years, due to the fine patterning and high integration of semiconductor devices, a large yield reduction is caused by internal defects, process defects, and pattern defects having a size of about 1 탆 or less. In order to increase the yield and reduce the production cost, The importance of analysis is emerging.
Also, various types of defects that occur for the above reasons cause local hot spots. Therefore, a technique of inspecting a infrared heat radiation due to a local heat generated from a semiconductor defect by using an infrared wavelength measuring instrument is used in a semiconductor manufacturing process.
FIG. 1 shows a device for measuring the heat distribution, which measures the local heat as described above.

In the above conventional heat distribution measuring apparatus, the change of the reflectance of light due to the temperature change occurring at the defective point of the sample is measured by the heat reflection method and converted into thermal distribution to identify the defective point of the sample. It can not be obtained only in a plane, so that it is not possible to accurately grasp the position where the defective point occurs.
Therefore, only the defectiveness of the sample can be grasped, and the process in which the sample is defective can not be grasped and the yield of the semiconductor production process can not be increased.
