Abstract

This invention is about the measuring method of focus ion beam spot needle, in which the accelerated focus ion beam is used to bomb dielectric layer so as to remove part of dielectric layer and form contact hole. After that, metal compound gas is introduced and ion beam is used to bomb metal compound gas so as to make the off-bonded metal fill in contact hole. Based on the scanning shape of ion beam, metal probing pad with inner-recess curve pattern is deposited on semiconductor device surface, in which it is easy for the spot needle to prop the metal probing pad pattern in order to measure the electrical characteristic of metal conductor layer to be measured. Additionally, the etching gas for dielectric layer can also be introduced. Focus ion beam is then used to make etching gas ionize and react with the dielectric layer so as to remove part of dielectric layer to form semi-opened or whole-opened dielectric layer. After that, part of metal conductor layer to be measured is exposed. Then, spot needle is directly against the metal conductor layer to be measured so as to perform the analysis of electrical characteristics.

Reacts with Meng Kangzi in the dielectric layer 502 in the comprehensive area on the metal conductive metal 501 to 'generate a volatile tetroxide compound' to remove the dielectric layer 50 in the comprehensive area on the metal conductive layer 501 to form a whole Cutout Region 503 > 5〇2 the dielectric layer, and the exposed portion of the conductive metal 501 wide. Since the dielectric 502 on the metal conductive layer 501 to be measured has been completely hollowed out, the dielectric 502 'forming a full-cut opening can be used to point the needle 504 directly toward the fully hollowed-out side. The exposed part of the metal conductive layer makes the measurement of the needle more multi-directional, and it also makes the measurement of metal electrical properties more convenient. According to the above-mentioned 'traditional focused ion beam point needle measurement method, the focused ion beam is used to scan the impinging dielectric layer with high energy to excavate the contact between the contact and the metal conductive layer to be measured. The beam scan strikes the metal compound gas to generate metal atoms to fill the contact holes and sink into a square metal film on the surface of the semiconductor as a metal probe pad for resisting the point needle. However, since the square metal probe 塾 layer is not easy to abut the point needle, which often causes the point needle to slide, resulting in electrical errors in the metal conductive layer, according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the focused ion beam is changed by using Scanned ® shape, after scanning the impact of metal compound gas, the generated metal atoms fill the contact hole, and deposited on the surface of the semiconductor IC into the pattern of the confocal ion beam scanning. Most of them have a concave curve pattern and are easy to resist the point. Needle metal probe cushion for easy point needle measurement. In addition, as described in the second and third preferred embodiments, after the gas for etching the dielectric layer is passed in, a focused ion beam can be directly used to scan the half surface located on the metal conductive layer.
