技术领域
本发明涉及半导体领域,尤其涉及一种TEM样品制备方法。
背景技术
在半导体器件制备工艺中,通常包含对半导体衬底进行阱注入、离子推进、退火等工序,容易使半导体衬底内部晶格排列发生错乱而产生缺陷。同时,随着半导体器件尺寸的越来越小,半导体器件集成度越来越高,缺陷对器件的良率和可靠性的影响越来越大。因此在半导体器件失效分析中,找到半导体衬底缺陷的位置并获取缺陷的相关信息,可以反推出导致该缺陷的工序,从而可以对相关工序进行改进,避免后续出现类型缺陷,提高产品良率和器件的可靠性。目前,有两种方法可以获知缺陷信息:一种是对半导体衬底进行化学腐蚀并利用SEM(scanning electron microscopy,扫描电子显微镜)进行观察,可以确定半导体衬底上是否存在缺陷以及缺陷的大概位置,但是对于缺陷的具体位置和形貌无法获知;另一种是制备平面TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope,透射电镜)样品并利用TEM进行观察,可以获取缺陷的平面位置及平面形貌,但是无法获知半导体衬底厚度方向的缺陷信息,如 缺陷的深度信息,由此使半导体器件的失效分析受到限制。

为了彻底理解本申请,将在下列的描述中提出详细步骤以及结构,以便阐释本申请提出的技术方案。本申请的较佳实施例详细描述如下,然而除了这些详细描述外,本申请还可以具有其他实施方式。

步骤S100:确定半导体衬底上存在缺陷的目标位置并从半导体衬底的背面对半导体衬底进行减薄,制成平面TEM样品,目标位置位于平面TEM样品内。
半导体衬底内经过如阱注入、退火等一系列工序后,其内部晶格排布会发生改变,从而在半导体衬底内部产生缺陷。如图2a所示,定义半导体衬底100的长度方向为X轴,定义半导体衬底100的宽度方向为Y轴,定义半导体衬底100的厚度方向为Z轴。在本申请中,先确定半导体衬底100上存在缺陷的目标位置110,该目标位置110为在X轴和Y轴所形成的二维平面内的二维坐标,即只能在X轴和Y轴所形成的二维平面内定位该目标位置110,该目标位置110不包含缺陷的Z轴坐标。由于利用扫描仪进行观察时,只能 获取平面图像信息,因此该目标位置110实际为缺陷在半导体衬底100观测面的投影位置。
半导体衬底100具有正面100A和背面100B,其中,从半导体衬底100的正面100A对半导体衬底100进行上述工序后容易在半导体衬底100内引起缺陷,因此,缺陷更加靠近于半导体衬底100的正面100A。确定好存在缺陷的目标位置110后,从半导体衬底100的背面100B对半导体衬底100减薄,制成平面TEM样品。在一些实施例中,对半导体衬底100减薄过程中会逐渐缩小半导体衬底100的尺寸,但是该目标位置110处的半导体衬底100不能被去除,即最终得到的平面TEM样品内需包含该目标位置110。需要说明的是,平面TEM样品指的是半导体衬底100减薄后在Z轴方向的厚度满足TEM观察厚度,在本实施例中,平面TEM样品的厚度小于或等于

在一实施例中,步骤S100具体可以包括:
步骤S110:在半导体衬底的正面标记出存在缺陷的目标位置。
在一实施例中,对于定点样品,可通过数地址或定亮点的方式确定目标位置110,对于非定点样品,可通过SEM观察缺陷在衬底中的大概位置并作为目标位置110。确定目标位置110后,可通过激光或FIB在目标位置110处对半导体衬底100进行标记,以便于在后续工序中识别该目标位置110。在一实施例中,该标记可为十字标记。
步骤S120:对半导体衬底进行切割形成待测衬底,将待测衬底的正面粘贴于载玻片上,目标位置位于所述待测衬底的中心位置。
通常,直接获取的半导体衬底100尺寸较大,而半导体衬底100内的缺陷尺寸很小,对缺陷进行分析时不需要使用整块半导体衬底100。在本实施例中,如图2b所示,先围绕缺陷对半导体衬底100进行切割,获取包含缺陷区域的待测衬底120,即步骤S110中的标记处于待测衬底120的中心位置,再将待测衬底120的正面粘贴于载玻片200上,其中,待测衬底120的正面 为半导体衬底100的正面100A。在一实施例中,待测衬底120呈正方形,其长×宽的尺寸约为1cm×1cm。在一实施例中,载玻片200也可呈正方形,载玻片200的尺寸略大于待测衬底120的尺寸,其长×宽的尺寸可约为1.2cm×1.2cm。在一实施例中,待测衬底120的正面通过石蜡粘贴于载玻片200上,且在两者粘贴稳固的前提下,石蜡越薄越好,且待测衬底120与载玻片200之间需避免出现气泡。
由于通常是在做半导体器件失效分析时需要获取半导体衬底100的缺陷信息,半导体衬底100的正面100A上通常还形成有工艺层,如介质层、金属层等,因此在将待测衬底120的正面粘贴于载玻片200上前,需去除半导体衬底100正面上的工艺层。在一实施例中,在切割半导体衬底前,将正面100A生长有工艺层的半导体衬底100置于氢氟酸中浸泡,浸泡的时间可控制为约10分钟,以去除半导体衬底100正面的工艺层,暴露出半导体衬底100的正面100A。在另一实施例中,在切割半导体衬底后,将待测衬底130置于氢氟酸中浸泡,浸泡的时间可控制为约10分钟,以去除待测衬底130正面的工艺层,暴露出待测衬底130的正面。
步骤S130:对待测衬底的背面进行研磨,判断待测衬底是否研磨至目标厚度,若是,则停止研磨,待测衬底研磨至目标厚度后形成平面TEM样品。
将待测衬底120的正面粘贴于载玻片200上后,通过载玻片200对待测衬底120进行支撑与固定,以方便从待测衬底120的背面对待测衬底120进行减薄,其中,待测衬底120的背面为半导体衬底100的背面100A。在一实施例中,通过对待测衬底120的背面进行研磨以逐渐减薄该待测衬底120至目标厚度,待测衬底120减薄至目标厚度后,形成平面TEM样品130,该目标厚度即为平面TEM样品130的厚度,即平面TEM样品指的是以半导体衬底的正面作为观察面,垂直于正面的厚度符合TEM观察厚度的样品。通常,在研磨过程中,待测衬底120边缘的研磨强度大于中间区域的研磨强度,在研磨过程中,待测衬底120的长宽尺寸会被研磨得越来越小,但是需保证目标位置110不会被研磨掉。如图2c所示,在一实施例中,在待测衬底120研 磨过程中,待测衬底120的尺寸逐渐变小时,又由于待测衬底120两侧受力并不完全均一,因此会有一侧的研磨速度略大于另一侧的研磨速度,判断待测衬底120是否已经被研磨至目标厚度的方法可为:在显微镜下观察研磨后的待测衬底120边缘处是否有彩纹121,若有,则进一步观察目标位置110是否处于该彩纹121上,若是,则判断出待测衬底120已经研磨至目标厚度,形成平面TEM样品130。在其他实施例中,也可以用仪器测量待测衬底120的厚度。
在一实施例中,对待测衬底120的背面进行研磨的步骤具体包括:先依次使用320目、600目、800目和1200目的砂纸对待测衬底120的背面进行研磨,再使用抛光绒布对待测衬底120的背面进行抛光。其中,抛光的速度可小于使用砂纸研磨的速度,先进行速度相对较快的砂纸研磨,快速减薄待测衬底120,且研磨过程中调整砂纸的目数,砂纸的目数越高,研磨越精细,研磨处的表面越光滑。高速研磨至一定程度后,将待测衬底120对着日光灯观察,看待测衬底120中的目标位置110附近是否透红光,并在显微镜下观察待测衬底120的边缘是否有彩纹121,若有,则将砂纸换成抛光绒布,降低速度,对待测衬底120继续低速抛光,以去除目标位置110附近的碎屑和划痕,避免其对观测图像造成干扰。抛光后再观察目标位置110是否正好处于彩纹121上,若是,则可以停止研磨,被研磨至目标厚度的待测衬底120即为平面TEM样品130。
步骤S140:将金属环粘贴于平面TEM样品的背面,并沿金属环外侧对平面TEM样品进行切割以切除金属环外侧的平面TEM样品,目标位置位于金属环的中心位置。
在一些实施例中,如图2d所示,为配合后续平面TEM样品130的观测,需在平面TEM样品130的背面粘贴金属环300,并沿金属环300外侧对平面TEM样品130进行切割,并使目标位置110处于金属环300的中心位置。在一实施例中,金属环300可为铜环。在一实施例中,金属环300通过双组份环氧树脂粘合剂粘贴于平面TEM样品130的背面,双组份环氧树脂粘合剂又 称AB胶水,AB胶水由主剂和硬化剂混合配置而成,其中,主剂为A胶,硬化剂为B胶,具体可为将A胶和B胶混合形成AB胶水后,将金属环300蘸少量AB胶水贴于平面TEM样品130的背面,并使目标位置110处于金属环300的中心,将粘贴在一起的金属环300、平面TEM样品130和载玻片200一同放进氮气柜中风干15分钟,使胶水固化,然后用美工刀沿金属环300外侧切断平面TEM样品130。
步骤S150:分离平面TEM样品和载玻片,得到与金属环粘贴的平面TEM样品。
经过步骤S140,得到的平面TEM样品130两侧分别粘贴有金属环300和载玻片200,在后续工序中,不需要使用到载玻片200。如图2e所示,使载波片200与平面TEM样品130分离,即将载玻片200剥离出来,得到仅与金属环300粘贴的平面TEM样品130。在一实施例中,当平面TEM样品130与载玻片200通过石蜡粘贴时,可将平面TEM样品130置于丙酮中浸泡20分钟至30分钟,使粘贴在金属环300上的平面TEM样品130与载玻片200分离,然后将粘合在一起的金属环300和平面TEM样品130用镊子从丙酮中取出,晾干后进行后续工序操作。
步骤S200:用粘合胶将平面TEM样品的背面粘贴于导电垫片上,粘合胶的厚度小于或等于50μm。
由于平面TEM样品130较薄且尺寸较小,难以进行后续的切割工艺,需要将平面TEM样品130固定于垫片上。在本申请中,由于平面TEM样品130后续要进行FIB(Focused Ion beam,聚焦离子束)切割,在FIB切割前FIB机台会对平面TEM样品130进行扫描以获取缺陷的扫描图像。FIB机台对平面TEM样品130扫描以获取缺陷的扫描图像具体是FIB机台发射离子束轰击平面TEM样品130表面,平面TEM样品130产生二次离子和二次电子,FIB机台接收该二次离子和二次电子并根据该二次离子和二次电子生成扫描图像,从扫描图像中确定缺陷的形貌和平面位置,从而可以实现在缺陷处精准切割。因此,在本申请中的垫片需要有一定的导电性,以保证扫描过程中二次电子 的产生率,从而确保扫描图像的质量。结合图3a和图3b所示,在本实施例中,平面TEM样品130的背面130B通过粘合胶500粘贴于导电垫片400上,其中平面TEM样品130的正面为原始半导体衬底100的正面100A,平面TEM样品的背面130B为与正面100A相对的一面。在一实施例中,可使用硅片作为导电垫片400。在本申请中,平面TEM样品130和导电垫片400通过粘合胶500粘合,由于扫描图像的质量受导电垫片400导电性的影响,而粘合胶500的厚度会影响导电垫片400的导电性,在本申请中,通过控制粘合胶500的厚度小于或等于50μm,具体可为10μm至50μm,在该厚度尺寸下,粘合胶500对导电垫片400的导电性基本没有影响,既能使平面TEM样品130与导电垫片400较好固定,也可以保证扫描图像的质量。在一实施例中,粘合胶500可选用AB胶水。若粘合胶500选用双面胶带,双面胶带的表面粗糙,容易损坏平面TEM样品130,若粘合胶500选用石蜡,石蜡稳定性较差,热熔后会溢到平面TEM样品130正面,污染扫描区域。AB胶水粘性较好且稳定性强,只需少许的AB胶水,控制胶水的厚度为10μm至50μm,可以很好地固定平面TEM样品130和导电垫片400,也不会损坏或污染平面TEM样品130的正面,并且不会影响FIB扫描图像的质量。在一具体的实施例中,在导电垫片400上涂覆少量AB胶水,控制胶水厚度在10μm至50μm之间,将平面TEM样品130的背面粘贴于导电垫片400上,晾干15分钟至20分钟即可。在一实施例中,当平面TEM样品130的背面粘贴有金属环300时,可一同将金属环300粘贴于导电垫片400上。
在一实施例中,在步骤S100和步骤S200之间,还可包括如下步骤:
对平面TEM样品进行观察,判断平面TEM样品内是否存在所述缺陷,若存在,则执行步骤S200。
在步骤S100中,对半导体衬底100进行减薄时,若缺陷位置较深,在减薄过程中也可能将缺陷去掉,一旦缺陷被去除,步骤S200及后续的工序均没有意义。因此,可在步骤S200前,对平面TEM样品130进行扫描,确定缺陷还位于平面TEM样品130内后才实施步骤S200,若制成的平面TEM样品 130中不存在缺陷,即缺陷的深度大于TEM样品厚度,说明此缺陷不适合通过制成TEM样品的方法进行分析,需停止后续步骤。
步骤S300:确定缺陷的形貌和平面位置并采用聚焦离子束在缺陷的平面位置处垂直于平面TEM样品进行切割,制成剖面TEM样品,缺陷位于剖面TEM样品的剖面上。
将平面TEM样品130固定于导电垫片400上后,便可对平面TEM样品130进行FIB切割。FIB机台可以对平面TEM样品130进行扫描和切割,在切割前,先对平面TEM样品130的正面进行扫描,并根据扫描图像获取缺陷的形貌和平面位置,然后在缺陷位置处垂直平面TEM样品130进行FIB切割,从平面TEM样品130内切割出一小块样品,且缺陷位于切割剖面内,从而获取剖面TEM样品131。结合图3a和图4所示,剖面TEM样品131具有四个切割剖面,该四个切割剖面的投影形成一四边形,缺陷位于其中的一个剖面131C内,且包含缺陷的剖面131C为垂直剖面。在一实施例中,该剖面131C可为矩形,也可为倒梯形。定义包含缺陷的剖面131C为X轴和Z轴构成的平面,该剖面TEM样品131的宽度方向为Y轴方向,则该剖面TEM样品131的宽度b符合TEM样品厚度,即剖面TEM样品指的是以具有缺陷的剖面131C为观察面,垂直于该剖面方向的厚度(宽度b)满足TEM观察的厚度。在一实施例中,剖面TEM样品131的宽度b小于或等于
Figure PCTCN2019127439-appb-000003
该剖面TEM样品131的厚度h为平面TEM样品130的厚度,在一实施例中,该厚度h小于或等于
Figure PCTCN2019127439-appb-000004
剖面TEM样品131的长度a相对较长,可为微米级别,即剖面TEM样品131可为一长条形结构。对剖面TEM样品131进行观测实际为对剖面TEM样品131具有缺陷的剖面131C进行观察,剖面TEM样品131的宽度b满足TEM观测厚度,以能够对该剖面进行TEM扫描形成清晰的扫描图像。在一实施例中,制成剖面TEM样品131后,可对剖面TEM样品131具有缺陷的剖面131C进行扫描,获取该剖面的扫描图像,找到缺陷在该剖面的位置,从而可以测量出该缺陷的深度。在一具体的实施例中,如图5为对平面TEM样品130进行扫描得到的正面扫描图像,其中,可从该扫描 图像中获取缺陷的形貌和平面位置,在该图中,缺陷(虚线框内)呈线型状。如图6为对图5进行切割形成的剖面图,缺陷(虚线框内)位于该剖面内,获取该剖面图像后,可以测量缺陷的深度。
上述TEM样品制备方法,可以制备出剖面TEM样品,且缺陷位于该剖面TEM样品的剖面上,通过观测剖面TEM样品的剖面,可以获取缺陷在半导体衬底厚度方向的信息,如缺陷的深度,从而可以从获取到的缺陷信息推导出导致该缺陷的半导体器件制备工序,以便对该工序进行改进,避免更多产品出现相同问题,从而提高产品良率。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本申请的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对申请专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本申请的保护范围。因此,本申请专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
