Abstract
Description
深さ計測装置はそれぞれ、電子ビームを試料に照射する電子光学系と、電子ビームが照射された試料から放出された放出電子を検出する検出系と、計測対象における所定のパターンの深さを計測する動作プログラムである深さ計測レシピを実行することにより、電子光学系と検出系とを制御して検出系からの出力から形成した電子像から抽出された計測値に基づき、所定のパターンの深さ指標値を算出するコンピュータとを備え、
複数の深さ計測装置は、1台の基準装置とその他の補正対象装置とに区分され、
補正対象装置のコンピュータは、深さ計測レシピに紐づけられた補正係数を記憶しており、補正係数が適用された数理モデルを用いて補正された所定のパターンの深さ指標値を出力する。
(式1)
深さ指標値=(パターン寸法値またはパターン面積/パターン輝度値)N
深さ指標値の算出において、パターン寸法値またはパターン面積のいずれを使うかは凹部の2次元パターンの形状に依存する。凹部の2次元パターン形状が開いたパターンである場合には、パターン寸法値を用いる。例えば、トレンチパターンでは溝幅のパターン寸法値を用いることができる。一方、凹部の2次元パターン形状が閉じたパターンである場合には、パターン面積を用いる。例えば、ホールパターンや、楕円、正方形や長方形などの平面形状を有するパターンでは、パターン面積を用いる。
補正方法1は、深さ指標値を補正する数理モデルとして1次式を使用し、線形補正により深さ指標値を補正する方法である。補正後の深さ指標値Ic、補正対象装置1002がステップ204で(式1)にしたがって算出した深さ指標値Io、ステップ202で設定された補正係数をA,Bとすると、(式2)に示す線形補正式により深さ指標値を補正する。
(式2)
Ic=A・Io+B
補正方法1により機差補正を行う場合の、補正係数A,Bの算出手順を図3のフローチャートに示す。
深さ指標値の補正方法は上述のものに限られない。補正方法2は、補正方法1の数理モデル(式2)において、補正係数Aを1に固定し、補正係数Bのみを設定するものである。補正係数Bの算出手順を図5のフローチャートに示す。ステップ301~303、305、306は図3のフローチャートと同じであるので、重複する説明は省略する。補正方法2では、基準装置と補正対象装置でそれぞれ算出した深さ指標値の平均値との間の差分を求め、その差分を補正係数Bとする(ステップ504)。
補正方法3では、パターン寸法値またはパターン面積と、輝度値とをそれぞれ適した数理モデルにより補正し、補正後の値から深さ指標値を算出することにより、深さ指標値を非線形に補正する。図6A,Bに示す、深さ検査装置α,βによって撮像した同一のトレンチパターンのSEM像から溝幅と輝度値を算出する例を示す。SEM像601、602におけるトレンチパターンは、装置ごとの倍率機差や検出系の機差等により明るさや溝幅が異なる。図6Aに示す装置α(基準装置とする)で撮像したSEM像601から求めた溝幅をWα、トレンチ底部の輝度値をGLαで表し、図6Bに示す装置β(補正対象装置とする)で撮像したSEM像602から求めた溝幅をWβ、トレンチ底部の輝度値をGLβで表す。なお、溝幅、輝度値は複数のトレンチパターンの平均値として算出している。
(式3)
Iα=(Wα/GLα)N
Iβ=(Wβ/GLβ)N
機差補正していない状態では、機差により深さ指標値Iα、Iβは同じ値にはならない。
(式4)
Wβ’ =ACD・Wβ+BCD
GLβ’ =AGL・GLβ+BGL
Iβ’ =(Wβ’ /GLβ’ )N
(式4)を用いることによってトレンチパターンのような、閉じていないパターンの深さ指標値について、機差を補正することができる。
(式5)
Sα=π・(Dα/2)2
Sβ=π・(Dβ/2)2
Iα=(Sα/GLα)N
Iβ=(Sβ/GLβ)N
機差補正していない状態では、機差により深さ指標値Iα、Iβは同じ値にはならない。
(式6)
Dβ’ =ACD・Dβ+BCD
GLβ’ =AGL・GLβ+BGL
Sβ’ =π・(Dβ’ /2)2
Iβ’ =(Sβ’ /GLβ’ )N
(式6)を用いることによって、ホールパターンのような、閉じたパターンの深さ指標値について、機差を補正することができる。ホールパターン以外の閉じたパターンでも同様に機差を補正することができる。パターン形状に応じた面積Sの算出方法を適用すればよい。
基準装置1001による各計測点での寸法値をy、補正対象装置による各計測点での寸法値をxとして、1次式(y=ACDx+BCD)でフィッティングを実施し、補正係数ACD,BCDを算出する(ステップ804)。同様に、基準装置1001による各計測点での輝度値をy、補正対象装置による各計測点での輝度値をxとして、1次式(y=AGLx+BGL)でフィッティングを実施し、補正係数AGL,BGLを算出する(ステップ805)。算出した補正係数ACD,BCD,AGL,BGLを補正対象装置1002の記憶部105に登録する(ステップ806)。全ての補正対象装置1002で補正係数が登録されているかどうかを確認し、未登録の補正対象装置があれば、当該補正対象装置に対して、ステップ803~806を実施する。
(式7)
Acc=|値xの平均値-値yの平均値|/値yの平均値
ここで、値xは補正対象装置の深さ指標値または計測値であり、値yは基準装置の深さ指標値または計測値である。値はデータ選択欄1210で選択されている深さ指標値または計測値とする。値xの平均値と値yの平均値との差が小さくなるほど、指標Accの値は小さくなる。
