It will be understood that when a layer such as a film is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present.
應當理解,儘管術語「第一」、「第二」、「第三」等在本文中可以用於描述各種元件、步驟、區域及/或膜層,但是這些元件、步驟、區域及/或膜層不應受這些術語的限制。這些術語僅用於將一個元件、步驟、區域及/或膜層與另一個元件、步驟、區域及/或膜層分開。It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like may be used herein to describe various elements, steps, regions and/or layers, these elements, steps, regions and/or layers Layers should not be limited by these terms.

請參照圖1及圖2A,第一製程規則的建立方式可以如下:於第一半導體基板140上形成第一膜層結構110;以及,藉由第一製程條件對第一半導體基板140上的第一膜層結構110進行第一半導體製程。在一實施例中,於對第一半導體基板140上的第一膜層結構110進行第一半導體製程之後,可以形成對應的第一製程結構(未直接繪示)。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, the establishment method of the first process rule can be as follows: form the first

請參照圖1及圖2C,第三製程規則的建立方式可以如下:於第三半導體基板340上形成第三膜層結構310;以及,藉由第三製程條件對第三半導體基板340上的第三膜層結構310進行第三半導體製程。在一實施例中,於對第三半導體基板340上的第三膜層結構310進行第三半導體製程之後,可以形成對應的第三製程結構(未直接繪示)。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2C, the establishment method of the third process rule can be as follows: form the
值得注意的是,本發明並未限定建立第一製程規則、第二製程規則及/或第三製程規則之間的先後順序。It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the order of establishing the first process rule, the second process rule and/or the third process rule.
在本實施例中,第一半導體基板140、第二半導體基板240及第三半導體基板340為不同的基板,但第一半導體基板140、第二半導體基板240及第三半導體基板340為同質基板。也就是說,第一半導體基板140、第二半導體基板240及第三半導體基板340雖為不同塊的基板,但其彼此間的材質及/或尺寸基本上相同或相似。舉例而言,第一半導體基板140、第二半導體基板240及第三半導體基板340可以為不同的矽晶圓(Si wafer)。當然,不同的矽晶圓的細部規格(如:表面粗糙度、純度及/或摻雜濃度)可能略有差異,但基本上仍應視為「同質基板」的均等範圍。舉例而言,縱使為從同一晶柱(ingot)所切割而成的不同晶圓(wafer),其對應的摻雜濃度也可能會略有差異。在一實施例中,第一半導體基板140、第二半導體基板240及第三半導體基板340可以為不同的空片晶圓(blanket wafer)。In this embodiment, the

值得注意的是,在本實施例中,「全面性地形成」可以是在不具有圖案化的步驟下,將後形成的膜層藉由沉積、鍍覆、塗佈或其他類似的方式,覆蓋於基板及/或先形成的膜層上。當然,在一般的半導體製程中,後形成的膜層是有可能進一步地部分覆蓋於基板及/或先形成的膜層的邊緣;或是,因可進行沉積、鍍覆或塗佈的機台的既有部件(如:用於減少側鍍的遮罩框(shadow frame)或用於固定基板的固定件(fixed parts))可能造成部分的未覆蓋區域;或是,基板的邊緣(如:晶圓邊緣(wafer edge))區域上的一部分膜層會有部分的剝離(peeling);但是,上述的情況基本上仍應視為「全面性地形成」的均等範圍。It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, "overall formation" may mean covering the later formed film layer by deposition, plating, coating or other similar methods without a patterning step. on the substrate and/or previously formed film layers. Of course, in the general semiconductor manufacturing process, it is possible for the film layer formed later to partially cover the edge of the substrate and/or the film layer formed earlier; Existing parts (such as: shadow frame for reducing side plating or fixed parts for fixing the substrate) may cause partial uncovered areas; or, the edge of the substrate (such as: Part of the film layer on the wafer edge region will be partially peeled; however, the above-mentioned situation should basically be regarded as an equal range of "fully formed".

在一實施例中,就電性上而言,第一膜層結構110中的其中一膜層(如:第一膜層111、膜層112中的至少一部分及/或膜層113中的至少一部分)、第二膜層結構210中的其中一膜層(如:第二膜層211、膜層212中的至少一部分及/或膜層213中的至少一部分)或第三膜層結構310中的其中一膜層(如:第三膜層311、膜層312中的至少一部分及/或膜層313中的至少一部分)可以包括絕緣層、導電層或半導體層中的其中之一。In one embodiment, in terms of electrical properties, one of the film layers in the first film layer structure 110 (such as: the
在一實施例中,第一半導體製程、第二半導體製程及第三半導體製程可以為同質製程。舉例而言,第一半導體製程、第二半導體製程及第三半導體製程可以為藉由同一機台或同種類的機台所進行同類型的製程(如:黃光微影製程;但不限)。當然,在同類型製程中,細部的製程參數(如:某一製程參數的數值;但不限)可能略有不同,但基本上仍應視為「同質製程」的均等範圍。以黃光微影製程為例,可以藉由同一機台或同種類的機台進行相同或相似波長的照射,雖然所使用的光罩所對應的線寬(line,L)或線距(space,S)可能會略有不同,但仍應視為同質的黃光微影製程。In an embodiment, the first semiconductor process, the second semiconductor process and the third semiconductor process may be homogeneous processes. For example, the first semiconductor process, the second semiconductor process, and the third semiconductor process may be the same type of process performed by the same machine or the same type of machine (such as: lithography process; but not limited). Of course, in the same type of process, the detailed process parameters (such as: the value of a certain process parameter; but not limited) may be slightly different, but basically it should be regarded as an equal range of "homogeneous process". Taking the yellow light lithography process as an example, the same or similar wavelength can be irradiated by the same machine or the same type of machine, although the line width (line, L) or line distance (space, S) corresponding to the mask used ) may vary slightly, but should still be considered a homogenous yellow light lithography process.

在半導體元件的製造過程中,某一製程的製程參數與製程結果可能具有線性的相對關係;但是,某另一製程的製程參數與製程結果可能不具有線性的相對關係。舉例而言,以沉積製程(deposition process)為例,在其他的條件皆為相同或相似的前提下,沉積的時間與對應於形成的膜層的厚度大致上會具有線性關係。但是,在其他的條件皆為相同或相似的前提下,膜層的厚度對應於前述膜層的折射率(n值)、消光係數(k值)及/或折射率及消光係數所衍生出之其他參數由並不一定為線性關係。因此,對於部分的半導體製程而言,可能無法或較難藉由線性關係(如:線性內插或外插)來從一參數推估出另一對應的參數及/或對應的製程參數。In the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, the process parameters of a certain process may have a linear relative relationship with the process results; however, the process parameters of another process may not have a linear relative relationship with the process results. For example, taking the deposition process as an example, under the premise that other conditions are the same or similar, the deposition time and the corresponding thickness of the formed film generally have a linear relationship. However, under the premise that other conditions are the same or similar, the thickness of the film layer corresponds to the refractive index (n value), extinction coefficient (k value) and/or the value derived from the refractive index and extinction coefficient of the aforementioned film layer. Other parameters are not necessarily linear. Therefore, for some semiconductor manufacturing processes, it may be impossible or difficult to estimate another corresponding parameter and/or corresponding process parameter from one parameter by linear relationship (eg, linear interpolation or extrapolation).
值得注意的是,在本實施例中,兩組數據具有「線性關係」可以是由前述兩組數據經由線性迴歸後,其判定係數(Coefficient of determination,R 2)大於或等於0.9且小於或等於1。也就是說,兩組數據具有「線性關係」並不表示前述兩組數據為完全正相關或完全負相關。 It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the "linear relationship" between two sets of data can be determined by the aforementioned two sets of data through linear regression, and its coefficient of determination (Coefficient of determination, R 2 ) is greater than or equal to 0.9 and less than or equal to 1. That is to say, two sets of data having a "linear relationship" does not mean that the aforementioned two sets of data are completely positively correlated or completely negatively correlated.
以黃光微影製程為例,膜層的折射率及/或消光係數對於與光性有關的製程參數可能會有所影響。舉例而言,膜層的折射率及/或消光係數可能會對應地影響到藉由黃光微影製程所形成的對應的線寬或線距。如此一來,藉由本實施例的半導體元件製造流程,可以更為接近實際進行半導體元件製程時的製程條件(如:製程參數、膜層的厚度、折射率及/或消光係數)及/或進行前述半導體元件製程後所形成的對應製程結構。因此,可以使半導體元件的製程良率及/或品質提升。Taking the yellow light lithography process as an example, the refractive index and/or extinction coefficient of the film layer may affect the process parameters related to optical properties. For example, the refractive index and/or extinction coefficient of the film layer may correspondingly affect the corresponding line width or line distance formed by the lithography process. In this way, through the semiconductor device manufacturing process of this embodiment, the process conditions (such as: process parameters, film thickness, refractive index and/or extinction coefficient) can be closer to the actual semiconductor device process conditions (such as: process parameters, film thickness, refractive index and/or extinction coefficient) and/or The corresponding process structure formed after the aforementioned semiconductor device process. Therefore, the process yield and/or quality of the semiconductor device can be improved.
綜上所述,藉由本發明的半導體元件製造流程及/或半導體元件製造系統,可以使半導體元件的製程良率及/或品質提升。To sum up, with the semiconductor device manufacturing process and/or semiconductor device manufacturing system of the present invention, the process yield and/or quality of the semiconductor device can be improved.
