Abstract

As known in the past, a device is equipped with a plurality of concentrated ion beam lens tubes mounted in the sample chamber, in which one portion of the lens tubes is provided for observation and the other portion of the lens tubes is provided for machining. Since the machining time has no difference from that of a concentrated ion beam device with one concentrated ion beam lens tube, the plurality of concentrated ion beam lens tubes mounted in the sample chamber can all be used to perform machining. It is then possible to shorten the machining time by simultaneously radiate ion beam on samples.

Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention The present invention relates to the use of a concentrated ion beam processing device to perform sputter etching processing on the surface of samples of semiconductor integrated circuits, ceramic substrates, etc. to form a thin film deposition process. And other processing methods. BACKGROUND A concentrated ion beam processing device can scan a concentrated ion beam on the surface of a sample, detect secondary electrons and secondary ions generated from the surface of the sample, and use the distribution to perform an enlarged observation of the surface of the sample. The complex ion beam can be scanned on the surface of the sample, and the surface of the sample can be sputter-etched. Further, the gas constituting the raw material of the thin film can be introduced into the sample chamber, while spraying it on the surface of the sample, and scanning the concentrated ion beam on the surface of the sample to perform a deposition process for forming a thin film on the surface of the sample. The centralized ion beam processing device is used for this type of processing, and can perform cross-section processing and inspection of the laminated structure of the observation sample. As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 0 2 — 1 2 3 7 4 9, there is no known method of installing a plurality of concentrated ion beam lens barrels, using a concentrated ion beam lens, and an electron beam lens barrel. In the case of a device in which a plurality of concentrated ion beam barrels are installed, a part of the concentrated ion beam barrels are used for processing 'and another part is used for observation. When a concentrated ion beam barrel and an electron beam barrel are installed, the concentrated ion beam barrel is used for processing, and the ion beam barrel is used for observation. In either case, the side of the hole opened by sputtering etching was observed with an observation lens barrel. In this way, the surface of the sample is sputtered with uranium engraving and the exposed section is confirmed. -17 --- \ ------- installation -------- Please read the precautions on the back before filling (This page) The consumer cooperation of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Du printed this paper The size of the paper applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2) 0x 297 public love) " 4-46 50 36 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2 〉 The process of recognizing the laminated structure of the sample is gradually miniaturized, making the latest semiconductor integrated circuits and ceramic sensors with complex manufacturing processes necessary and indispensable. However, although the time required for the sputtering etching process is concentrated with the ion beam mirror The performance of the tube is gradually shortened, but it still accounts for a large proportion of the entire program time. In terms of manufacturing and inspection procedures, shortening the time required for sputtering and etching processing has become a problem that must be solved. Inventions must simultaneously install multiple installations The concentrated ion beam of each concentrated ion chirped lens barrel is irradiated to the sample to perform the sputtering etching process. Generally, the time required for the sputtering etching process is based on the amount of ions that are incident on the -x- substance, ie, the dose Therefore, by repeating Concentrated ion beam cylinders can simultaneously illuminate the thallium ion beam, which can become several times as much as the concentration ion beam mirrors that can be used to achieve the dose achieved by each concentrated ion beam cylinder ° ---------- »-, S -------- Order.

Description of the invention (4) No electrode 3, movable diaphragm 4, deflection electrode 5, and objective lens 6. In addition, although not shown, there are optical axis correction electrodes, astigmatism correction electrodes, and the like. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Generally, liquid metal gallium is used as the ion source. The liquid metal gallium stored in the liquid storage tank is supplied to the needle-shaped emitter u by surface tension, and the storage tank and the emitter are configured to be heated by the filament. An electric field is formed by one or a plurality of electrodes in the emitter part, and the gallium stored in the emitter part is pulled out into an ion beam. Since the transmitter applies a high voltage of + 5 to + 30 k V with respect to the ground potential, it accelerates under this electric field. The ion beam is focused by the condenser lens 2 ', and the objective lens 6 is focused on the surface of the sample 25. Figure 1 shows an Alnxon lens with high voltage and ground at three electrodes, but this is an example, and other types of lenses may be used. In addition, although the objective lens 6 is arranged at the position closest to the sample 25, this position may be changed according to the required performance and function. The movable aperture 4 has a plurality of through-holes with different diameters. The position of the through-holes is controlled by the aperture control unit 10, and the through-holes used are switched by changing the amount of the ion beam reaching the sample 25 by passing the ion beam through each of the through-holes. , Which is the sample current. You can adjust this position, the position of the through hole and the center of the ion beam are the same. Printed by a member of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and a Consumer Cooperative, the masking electrode 3 is configured to generate a large electric field between the two electrodes. As soon as the same potential is applied, usually as soon as a ground is applied to each electrode, the ion beam reaches sample 25. However, if a signal with a large potential difference is applied to the electrodes of the shielding electrode 3 to generate a large electric field, the ion beam is deflected greatly, and when it comes to a shield such as the movable aperture 4, the ion beam will not reach the sample 25. The deflection electrode 5 is composed of at least two sets of opposite electrode electrodes. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 x 297 mm). Λ7 465036 __B7_____ V. Description of the invention (5) Included in each The electric field between the electrodes' secondary element controls the orbit of the ion beam (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). The power applied to each electrode and the movable aperture 4 is controlled by a computer. The signals applied to the shielding electrode 3 and the deflection electrode are generated from the scanning signal generating section 9. Thereby, whether to irradiate the ion beam to the sample 25 can be determined according to the sample irradiation position of the ion beam. The output signal from the detector 27 is input to the scanning signal generating section 9 for processing. The detector 27 is used to detect the irradiation position of the ion beam, and the secondary charged particles generated by the irradiation of the ion beam at this irradiation position. The output signal of the electrical signal can be checked and memorized, thereby making it possible to observe the surface of the sample 25. Fig. 2 shows an example of a device in which the present invention is not implemented. The concentrated ion beam lens barrel illustrated in FIG. 1 is installed in the two sample chambers 23. The first concentrated ion beam lens barrel 2 1 is disposed at a position where the ion beam is incident perpendicularly to the horizontally disposed sample 2 5. The second concentrated ion beam barrel 22 is set at different angles. The example in Figure 2 is installed at a 60-degree tilt. In addition, on the surface of the sample 25 placed on the sample table 24, the ion beam centers of the concentrated ion beam barrels are arranged to intersect. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The sample table 2 4 can be moved along at least three axes of the horizontal axis X, Y and vertical axis. The X and Y axes in the horizontal direction are used for the observation of the sample 25 and the determination of the processing device. Also, on the Z axis, the height of the sample surface must always be maintained at the intersection of the concentrated ion beam emitted from the two concentrated ion beam lens barrels. position. By maintaining the height of the sample surface at the intersection of the concentrated ion beam, the concentrated ion beam irradiation position of the two concentrated ion beam barrels can be at the same position and position of the sample surface.

Invention Explanation (6) Fine adjustment of the adjustment of the irradiation position by electrical method. However, if it is not consistent with the predetermined position on the sample table 24, it will exceed the fine adjustment range. Therefore, it is necessary to move the Z-axis direction of the sample table 24. In addition, 'it may have a tilted T-axis' and a rotated R-axis. The detector 27 detects the secondary electric band particles (electrons or ions) generated by irradiating the concentrated ion beam on the sample 25. Although the gas introduction device 28 is not shown in detail, it includes a container for storing gas or gas raw materials, a nozzle for spraying gas on the surface of the sample 25, a pipeline connecting the container and the nozzle, and a path in the middle of the pipeline to open and close the pipeline. valve. The gas system uses the C V D (chemical vapor deposition) method of beam auxiliary ribs to form raw materials for depositing films. The beam-assisted C V D method generally uses a molecular gas containing a material of a thin film deposited on the surface of a sample. The gas sprayed on the surface of the sample is adsorbed on the surface of the sample. In this state, if a concentrated ion beam 'molecular gas is irradiated, it will decompose under this kinetic energy. At this time, the decomposed gas component is discharged out of the sample chamber by the vacuum pump 26, and the solid component becomes a thin film and remains on the surface of the sample. At this time, the concentrated ion beam is also sputter-etched simultaneously with the deposition. Therefore, it is necessary to control the introduction amount of the source gas and the irradiation amount of the concentrated ion beam because the speed of the 'deposition forming film will be higher than the processing speed of the sputter etching'. The gas introduced into the sample chamber 23 by the gas introduction device 28 may be an etching auxiliary gas which is sprayed on the surface of the sample simultaneously with the irradiation of the concentrated ion beam to increase the processing speed of the sputtering etch. Etching auxiliary gas is generally added by irradiation with concentrated ion beam. — —-ΊΙΓΙ — i i -------- Order (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper Standards apply to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public love) -9-465036 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (7) The chemical reaction between the work material and the formation of molecular gas that is combined with the processed object. The vacuum pump 2 6 is discharged out of the sample chamber 2 3. Normally, if we observe the sputtering etching process, it is found that the workpiece to be sputter-etched will fall down and then adhere to the surface of the sample. Therefore, it is necessary to repeatedly perform sputtering and engraving. Since the use of an etching assist gas can suppress the re-attachment, the processing time of the sputter etching process can be shortened u Generally speaking, since the etching assist gas will chemically react with specific substances, it may not be able to afford chemically reactive substances Using different processing speeds for selective etching. In addition, a gas which reacts with a specific sample and suppresses the progress of the sputter etching process is also known. The difference in processing speed caused by the material can be used for selective etching. Moreover, FIG. 1 shows only one gas introduction device 2 8 ′, but a plurality of gas introduction devices 2 8 which use gases separately according to the purpose may be used. 2 ′ A gas introduction device having pipes and valves corresponding to a plurality of gas storage containers is used. 2 8 II ---, 丨 丨 '--- ^ i -------- Order (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Empty 3 straight; 2 6 room 2 pump test empty true charging Lending Qi 6 big 2 will not be a mirror can beam Yizi Weili 'in the set picture and Wei 3 Ran 2 solid room, and try again.

Description of the invention (8) Samples On the surface, an independent scanning method can also be performed at a separate location. □ Secondly, the adjustment method used to make the concentrated ion beam irradiation positions of the two concentrated ion beams in the same place will be explained. First, the first concentrated ion beam Lens tube 2 1 Observe sample 2 5. Sample 25 was placed horizontally, and the concentrated ion beam was incident perpendicularly with respect to sample 25. At this time, the sample 25 is, for example, a mesh or the like arranged on a grid in a square shape, and it is preferable that the shape and size are clear. As shown in FIG. 3, the desired shape of the known sample 25 is adjusted to the aspect ratio and right angle of the observation image to be observed on the observation screen. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Then observe the sample 2 5 with the second concentrated ion beam lens barrel 2 2. Because the sample 25 is placed horizontally, if the concentrated ion beam of the second concentrated ion beam lens barrel is constituted as shown in FIG. 2, it is inclined at 60 degrees with respect to the normal of the sample surface. • Incident on the sample surface. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4. The first concentrated ion beam irradiating the concentrated ion beam perpendicularly to the sample 2 5 irradiates the concentrated ion beam. The concentrated ion beam emitted from point A is centered on point 0 on the surface of the sample and ranges from point B to point C. Therefore, if there is an inclination with respect to the sample 25, the second concentrated ion beam barrel 22 that irradiates the concentrated ion beam is inclined so that the concentrated ion beam emitted from the point X with respect to the sample surface has an incident angle of the concentrated ion beam of 9 0 degree, that is, the concentrated ion beam is irradiated in a range from the point γ to the point z. In addition, "this range and the range from point B to point c-. Because ° has an inclination", it actually irradiates the point γ 1 to the point Z 1 on the surface of the sample. At this time, 'the normal direction of the surface of the sample in FIG. 4 does not change within the concentrated ion beam irradiation range of the first and second concentrated ion beam lens barrels ^ result', it can be seen that Sections 2 -11-< Please read the precautions on the back first Refill this page} This paper Ruler Needle® National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2: 10 × 297 public love) 465036 Λ7 B7 V. Description of the invention (9) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page ) The aspect ratio of the observed image of the focused ion beam is skewed. Therefore, the "second concentrated ion beam lens barrel 22 adjusts the scanning signal applied to the deflection electrode" so that the concentrated ion beam is irradiated in a range from point B to point C centered on point 0 of the sample surface. Further, in this state, the sample 25 adjusts the observation position and the right angle of the observation image which are the same as the observation image when the first focused ion beam lens barrel 21 is observed. Moreover, if the adjustment function of the aspect ratio of the observation image can be changed in conjunction with the inclination angle of the sample table 24, the first concentrated ion beam lens barrel 2 and the second concentrated ion beam lens barrel 2 can be changed within the range of the inclination angle of the sample table. The observation image of 2 is often equal to the observer in the same field of view where the concentrated ion beam is incident perpendicular to the sample 25. At this time, if the observation position and the right angle of the observation image can be further changed in conjunction with the tilt of the sample table 24, the mechanical error of the sample table 24 can also be corrected. The processing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described by using the concentrated ion beam apparatus thus adjusted. Fig. 5 shows a first processing example of sputtering etching of the same processing area. 0 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. It is a cross-sectional shape when the first and second ion beams are processed at the same place. Because it is a simple imitation, the cross-sectional shape is not displayed correctly, and only the large ridge shape is displayed. However, in terms of sputtering etching processing, ① the processing speed of a concentrated ion beam with a relatively inclined incident angle with respect to the sample is faster. FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the incident angle of the ion beam and the processing stack R v per unit charge. From this, it can be seen that the incident angle is 80 degrees and the processing speed is the fastest. Compared with ② when the concentrated ion beam is incident on a flat sample, the processing speed of those incident on the corner of the sample is -12- This paper size applies to the national standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 2 mm) 465036 Α7 Β7 Economic The Ministry of Intellectual Property Bureau's Employee Cooperatives printed five. The invention description (1Q) was faster. Because of the above-mentioned properties, in fact, the processor using the second concentrated ion beam lens barrel 22 performs a faster speed and etches the corners. Therefore, compared to FIG. 5, the angled etching is actually a smoother shape. FIG. 6 shows a second processing example of sputtering etching to different processing regions. It is formed into a cross-sectional shape when it is processed by irradiating concentrated ions on adjacent processing areas. At this time, by selecting the processing area relative to the depth direction as 1 / s i η (but the angle of incidence of the sample surface of the concentrated ion beam. Inclination with respect to the normal), the processing for section observation can be made efficient. At this time, although it is assumed that the sputter etching process of the first and second concentrated ion beam barrels 2 1 and 2 2 is performed at the same processing speed, in fact, as described above, the sputtering of the concentrated ion beam incident at an oblique incidence with respect to the sample is performed as described above. The etching processing speed is relatively high. Therefore, ① the first concentrated ion beam irradiation amount is larger than the second concentrated ion beam irradiation amount. ② The processing positions are not tightly separated and arranged separately. ③ After the processing is completed, the first concentrated ion beam is used for finishing. Perform such processing to correct the distortion of the shape caused by the different processing speed. 7 shows a third processing example of sputtering etching to different processing regions. In this example, a wide processing area irradiated by the first concentrated ion beam is set, and a narrow processing area irradiated by the second concentrated ion beam is set. This is an example of a case where a deep-sputter etching process is performed on a wide area. It utilizes the fact that the sputtering etching processing speed of the second concentrated ion beam incident obliquely to the sample surface is faster than the processing speed of the first concentrated ion beam incident perpendicularly to the sample surface. Also, although no illustration is used, in the case of the same processing area and different processing areas, the sample can also be tilted and the surface of the sample can be tilted and irradiated. -------- ^^ ------- Order · < Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page) This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 Gongchu) -13- 465036 Α7 Β7 V. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION () First and second concentrated ion beams. Either party can achieve a faster processing speed than the case where the sample is irradiated vertically (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). In the description so far, of course, it is made by overlapping and adjacent processing areas. One processing point can be processed in completely another area regardless of the two parties. In addition, when performing the above-mentioned processing, an auxiliary gas that assists sputtering etching may be used. The auxiliary gas reacts chemically with the workpiece, which accelerates the sputter etching process. And, in general, chemical reactions are selective for the substance being processed. The deposition process is explained next. By spraying and depositing the raw material gas on different areas of the sample surface, the first and second concentrated ion beams are irradiated on one surface to form thin films on different areas of the sample surface. At this time, the second concentrated ion beam incident on the sample at an oblique incidence of the concentrated ion beam is rapidly subjected to a sputtering etching process simultaneously with the deposition. Therefore, by reducing the amount of ion beam current and shortening the irradiation time for one pixel, the deposition speed can be maintained. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. It can also be deposited on the same area of the sample surface. Not in the vicinity of the irradiated-concentrated ion beam pixels, the pixels arranged on the grid in the area are irradiated with another concentrated ion beam. Pixels irradiated with ② one concentrated ion beam are not irradiated with another concentrated ion beam for a certain time. According to this rule, a concentrated ion beam is irradiated. Since the above-mentioned principle of ... affects the deposition source gas of a concentrated ion beam irradiated on a pixel, it has an effect not only on this pixel, but also on surrounding pixels. Therefore, in order to prevent the effect of suppressing this effect, irradiate the concentrated ion beam more than necessary- 14- This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 4650 36 Λ7 B7 V. Description of the invention (12) 〇 In terms of the second rule above, the chemical reaction used for deposition is After the focused ion beam is irradiated for a certain period of time. By irradiating more concentrated ion beams than necessary during this period, the effect of not suppressing this effect is achieved. Industrial Applicability As described above, a plurality of concentrated ion beams are installed in a sample chamber, and the concentrated ion beams of the respective concentrated ion beam barrels intersect at one point, so that the sample surface is located at the parent fork space. In addition, by simultaneously irradiating the concentrated ion beam to the same plus one field or different processing regions, it can be processed in a shorter time than a single concentrated ion beam barrel. --------— II '-------- Order. ~ T (Please read the phonetic on the back?
