INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a detection method and a measuring device, and more particularly to a method and a measuring device for instantaneous damage (4) of a porous ultra-low dielectric material. [Prior Art] In the fabrication of integrated circuits, as the size of components continues to shrink, the resistance-capacitance hysteresis effect (RC delay) is also very serious. After the 9-inch nanometer, the post-process has been introduced to have to introduce multi-porosity. Ultra-low dielectric material (2)us LoW-k material) to reduce capacitance and hysteresis. However, in the latter stage of the process, there are many process steps that can cause damage to the porous ultra-low dielectric material, such as plasma deposition of dielectric cap (cap) etching, photoresist ashing (Ash), and atomic Layer-by-layer (ALD) deposition of a copper diffusion barrier (Copper Diffusion Barrier) or deposition of a dielectric barrier (Dielectric Barrier) above the copper wire, etc., in these processes, reactive gases or precursors ( Precursor) may penetrate into the porous ultra-low dielectric material, causing damage to the ultra-low dielectric material, causing the capacitance value (ie, dielectric constant) of the dielectric material to rise. It also causes a delay effect. However, due to the complexity of the damage caused by the porous ultra-low dielectric material during the process, gas, plasma, washing, water and gas are all causes of damage, and it is difficult to determine the individual influence to solve the problem. Traditionally, to understand the damage of porous ultra-low dielectric materials, it is the K effective Value of the film that measures the process of the porous ultra-low dielectric material process after all the process steps are completed. Capacitance value, when it is found that the porous low dielectric 200832581 material is damaged, that is, the dielectric constant value is used to find out which process has damaged the material =, then the process is known to the porous layer 2: process influence 'And can not find the destructive power of individual dielectric materials, the method, invisibly increases the time and cost of research and development, and effectively thinks about improvement. [Inventive content] f Which: the purpose of gas, that is, is provided - A useful _detection of a poison or precursor to delete a porous ultra-low dielectric. The purpose of the invention is to provide a measure of which process gases or precursors will prematurely damage the meter. Test method. For Eagle ultra-low dielectric material, package = 2 = hole: ? dielectric material instant damage measuring device is coated and fixed on the first two-pore ultra-low dielectric surface and the gate p妯 "edge layer" and one The first conductive layer is coated on the second conductive layer fixed on the insulating layer. The material is characterized by the above-mentioned measuring device for instantly measuring the damage of the porous ultra-low dielectric shell material, and comprises the following steps: (1) Recording the capacitance value of the measuring device in a known condition, (1) placing the center of step (4) in the process environment of the process gas and/or precursor; and the process of the process of (1) Instantly measure the capacitance value of the measuring device with time. π ^ [Embodiment] For the description of the other technical contents, features and effects of this document, a better and clearer reference to the reference pattern below 6 200832581 In the detailed description of the embodiments, the preferred embodiments of the porous ultra-low dielectric material of the present invention are immediately applicable to the measurement state, and are applicable to Μ, ρι丨夕 a,, α, used to predict porous ultra-low dielectric materials

The measuring device 3 includes a first conductive layer 31, an insulating layer 32' deposited on the top surface of the first conductive layer 31, and a second conductive layer 33 deposited on the top surface of the insulating layer 32 to form a conductive Layer_insulating layer-conductive layer structure. " The first conductive layer 31 is made of a semiconductor material, such as a germanium substrate. The insulating layer 32 is made of a bonded porous ultra-low dielectric material such as that of JSR Corporation under the product number LKD51〇9, and has a plurality of pores 320 which are interconnected. The second conductive layer 33 is made of a conductive metal material such as a button/nitride button (Ta/TaN) or aluminum (A1). Further, the above-mentioned large-layer conductive layers 31, 33 and the insulating layer 32 are combined to form a measuring device 3 of a "Fengwuwu V-insulator-metal" structure. However, when implemented, the first conductive layer 3i may also be made of a conductive metal material, and the measuring device 3 is changed to a "metal-insulator-metal" structure, and the materials of the first conductive layers 31, 33 and the insulating layer 32 are Not limited to the above. ^The layered structure of the measuring device 3 without the embodiment is made by deposition method, = because the production method is quite large, and the focus of the invention is not the focus of the invention, the field is no longer detailed 0 3, the following continues to illustrate the present invention. The method of 200832581, which measures the damage of porous gas or precursor material, is described in the following steps: / ^ (Measure the reference capacitance of the measuring device 3) It will be placed in a preset environment of a known condition, this embodiment is a vacuum _: environment, and a capacitance measurement dream 5 - 邋 e - first conductive sound: * line 51 is electrically connected to The first and the brothers and televisions! 31, 33, the capacitance measuring device 5 measures the overall capacitance value (or dielectric coefficient) of the measuring device 3 in the name pre-sighing "" brother 4〇1, and The capacitance value (or dielectric coefficient) is used as the reference standard value. Step (2) Measure the capacitance value of the measuring device 3 in the process environment. In the preset environment 4 0〗, _ 卜 充 真 疋- or a mixture of precursors or precursors, and the environment is under - process pressure and temperature conditions - and constitute - process environment technology - while using the capacitance measurement device 5 to immediately detect the measurement of crying 3备卩士卩, #3 The total capacitance (or dielectric coefficient) between the mother and the mother is normalized, and when implemented, it can also be added to the process. Slurry, and detect that in the presence or absence of power, the measuring device 3 < global capacitance change * detected by the measuring device 3 capacitance value (or dielectric coefficient) is greater than the reference standard value Under the process pressure or plasma condition, the process gas or precursor trapped in the pores 32 of the insulating layer 32 made of the (4) ultra-low dielectric material has damaged the insulating layer 32. Therefore, The change of the capacitance value of the measuring device 3, and the degree of damage to the multi-gap ultra-low dielectric material at each time by the process gas and/or the precursor of the single or multiple mixed process gases, so that the damage can be made more quickly and directly It is predicted that the porous ultra-low dielectric material can be destroyed by the process gas, precursor or electropolymer in the actual integrated circuit process environment. 200832581 a 3 External 'The measurement S 3 can be used in addition to the actual In addition to the pre-test of the precursors and the pre-test of the precursors, the measuring device 3 can also be applied to the actual production of the gas to be used for real-time monitoring of the gases used in each process or the first circuit. Destructive slippage of porous ultra-low dielectric materials 'To avoid sudden occurrences. Summarize the above-mentioned 'semiconductor's insulators through the measuring device 3', and the "semiconductor's insulator_metal" or "metal" insulator _: Design: The insulating layer 32 is a porous ultra-low dielectric two design' can be predicted and evaluated in advance by detecting the measuring device 3 in the integrated circuit 2: the overall capacitance value changes. In the actual process, the porous material may be judged to be damaged by the gas or the precursor of the process gas or the precursor of the gas and/or the precursor of the porous or low-dielectric material. In addition, it is convenient to choose a better process gas or precursor, in addition to help to change. Wang 'avoid or reduce the damage rate of integrated circuit' can also save wafer research, cost, shorten development time m (4) Great loss.
