Description

一种适用于双重光刻技术的版图拆分方法、版图拆分装置及电子设备 【技术领域】
本发明涉及集成电路掩模设计领域,尤其涉及一种适用于双重光刻技术的版图拆分方法、版图拆分装置及电子设备。
【背景技术】
集成电路设计发展到如今,器件的特征尺寸越来越小,并趋近于曝光系统的理论极限,光刻后硅片表面的成像将产生严重的畸变,即产生光学邻近效应(Optical Proximity Effect)。随着光刻技术面临更高要求和挑战,人们提出了浸没式光刻(Immersion Lithography),离轴照明(Off Axis Illumination),移相掩模(Phase Shift Mask)等各种分辨率增强技术(Resolution Enhancement Technology)来改善成像质量,增强分辨率。
当前主流的1.35NA的193nm浸没式光刻机能够提供36-40nm的半周期(half-pitch)分辨率,可以满足28nm逻辑技术节点的要求,如果小于该尺寸,就需要双重曝光甚至多重曝光技术。双重光刻技术主要的实现方式有两种:一种是曝光—刻蚀—曝光—刻蚀(Lithography-Etch-Lithography-Etch),LELE的基本原理就是把原来一层光刻图形拆分到两个或多个掩模上,利用多次曝光和刻蚀来实现原来一层设计的图形。另一种是自对准双重成像技术(self-aligned double patterning),SADP的原理是一次光刻后,再在第一次光刻图形周围通过淀积侧墙,通过刻蚀实现对空间图形的倍频。
在实际应用过程中,由于SADP技术对版图的要求较多,所以LELE工艺使用更加广泛。然而拆分版图有不小的难度,不仅需要解决版图中的冲突位置,还要保持拆分后的版图密度相近,并且还有运行时间和内存的限制,而目前的版图拆分方法都将存在这些缺陷。
【发明内容】
为克服目前版图拆分技术中难以在解决冲突问题的同时保证密度相近性的技术问题,本发明提供一种适用于双重光刻技术的版图拆分方法、版图拆分装置及电子设备。
本发明为了解决上述技术问题,本发明提供一技术方案:一种适用于双重光刻技术的版图拆分方法,用于将初始版图拆 分成第一版图和第二版图,包括如下步骤:提供初始版图,所述初始版图包括多个掩模图形;基于预设的第一拆分规则将所述多个掩模图形拆分为有冲突图形和无冲突图形;基于预设的第二拆分规则将所述有冲突图形分为第一部分掩模图形和第二部分掩模图形,所述第一部分掩模图形和所述第二部分掩模图形中相互的掩模图形之间无冲突;基于预设的第三拆分规则将所述无冲突图形分为至少两种尺寸级别的第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形,所述第一尺寸掩模图形的最大尺寸大于所述第二尺寸掩模图形的最大尺寸;以及分别将第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形中的其中一部分与第一部分掩模图形合并以获得第一版图、另一部分与第二部分掩模图形合并以获得第二版图。

优选地,所述掩模图形规则排列,当同一行或者同一列上 的掩模图形相互之间小于边阈值或者角阈值,同一行或者同一列的所有掩模图形归为第一部分掩模或者第二部分掩模。
优选地,预设的第三拆分规则如下:设定面积尺寸阈值或者长度尺寸阈值,将超过面积尺寸阈值或者超过长度尺寸阈值的无冲突图形上的掩模图形归类为第一尺寸掩模图形,其余的归类为第二尺寸掩模图形。
优选地,预设的第三拆分规则如下:设定掩模图形对角线长度阈值,将超过对角线长度阈值的无冲突图形上的掩模图形归类为第一尺寸掩模图形,其余的归类为第二尺寸掩模图形。
优选地,用第一颜色和第二颜色分别对第一版图和第二版图着色。
优选地,用第一颜色和第二颜色分别对第一版图和第二版图着色的方式如下:在合并获得第一版图和第二版图之前首先对第一部分掩模图形用第一颜色着色、对所述第二部分掩模图形用第二颜色着色;然后对第三部分掩模图形和第四部分掩模图形分别用第一颜色和第二颜色着色;最后对拆分到初始第一版图和初始第二版图上的第二尺寸掩模图形着色。
优选地,将有冲突图形中的每个掩模图形用一个圆形作为节点,将有冲突的节点之间用直线连接形成拓扑关系图,基于所述拓扑关系图对所述第一部分掩模图形和所述第二部分掩模图形着色。
为了解决上述技术问题,本发明还提供一种版图拆分装置,用于将初始版图拆分成第一版图和第二版图,包括版图设计模块:用于提供初始版图,所述初始版图包括多个掩模图形;第一拆分模块:基于预设的第一拆分规则将所述多个掩模图形拆分为有冲突图形和无冲突图形;第二拆分模块:基于预设的第二拆分规则将所述有冲突图形分为第一部分掩模图形和第二部分掩模图形,所述第一部分掩模图形和所述第二部分掩模图形中相互的掩模图形之间无冲突;第三拆分模块:基于预设的第三拆分规则将所述无冲突图形分为至少两种尺寸级别的第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形,所述第一尺寸掩模图形的最大尺寸大于所述第二尺寸掩模图形的最大尺寸;第四拆分模块:分别拆分第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形成两个部分,其中一部分与第一部分掩模图形合并以获得第一版图、另一部分与第二部分掩模图形合并以获得第二版图。
优选地,还包括着色模块,所述着色模块和所述第四拆分模块连接,所述着色模块用于基于第一颜色和第二颜色分别对第一版图和第二版图着色。

相对于现有技术,本发明提供的技术方案具有如下有益效果:
1、基于预设的第一拆分规则将所述多个掩模图形拆分为有冲突图形和无冲突图形,再进一步基于两种不同的拆分规则对有冲突图形和无冲突图形并行拆分,基于预设的第二拆分规则将已经拆分出来的有冲突图形进行进一步拆分,以解决冲突的问题,而不是逐一遍历初始版图上所有的掩模图形逐一解决冲突的问题,能很好的提高拆分速度以及拆分的准确性,然后将对无冲突图形拆分获得的第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形中的其中一部分与对有冲突图形拆分获得的第一部分掩模图形合并以获得第一版图、另一部分与第二部分掩模图形合并以获得第二版图,能很好的提高拆分速度,基于第三拆分规则将无冲突图形拆分为两种大小尺寸的掩模图形,能进一步基于尺寸范围并行的对无冲突图形进一步拆分以和有冲突的拆分结果进行合并,以最快的速度获得第一版图和第二版图,很好的提高效率。
2、所述第四拆分规则仍然是基于设定任意相邻的两个掩模图形边与边之间的边阈值、以及任意相邻的两个掩模图形的角与角的角阈值作为拆分方法,使得拆分规则简单化,降低系统运算的复杂程度,提高拆分的效率。
3、设定的第一拆分规则和第二拆分规则均是基于两个掩模图形边与边之间的边阈值、以及任意相邻的两个掩模图形的角与角的角阈值设定,这样在拆分过程中规则相对简单,计算复杂程度低,降低计算器的内存损耗,也进一步提高拆分速度。
4、设定边阈值的范围是:80-150nm,角阈值的范围是:80-150nm,在该阈值范围内拆分出来的掩模图形能满足大部分客户对成像分辨率的要求,提高适用性。
5、所述掩模图形规则排列,当同一行或者同一列上的掩模图形相互之间小于边阈值或者角阈值,同一行或者同一列的所有掩模图形归为第一部分掩模或者第二部分掩模,这样能避免拆分之后过多的考虑放置掩模图形位置的考虑,能很好的避免出错,同时提高效率。
6、利用两种不同的颜色分别对第一版图和第二版图着色,方便将对应的掩模图形载入到掩模板上、避免出现失误。
7、建立关于所述有冲突图形的拓扑关系图,建立的拓扑关系能很好的标定有冲突图形上每个掩模图形的位置信息,以在对第一部分掩模图形和第二部分掩模图形进行着色时,可以基于拓扑关系图参照进行着色,避免着色错误,当出现漏着色或者错误着色时,可以利用拓扑关系图进行核对和校正。
8、本发明提供的适用于双重光刻技术的版图拆分装置和电子设备具有和适用于双重光刻技术的版图拆分方法同样的有 益效果。

【具体实施方式】
为了使本发明的目的,技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。
请参阅图1,本发明第一实施例提供一种适用于双重光刻技 术的版图拆分方法,用于将初始版图拆分成第一版图和第二版图,包括如下步骤:
S1、提供初始版图,所述初始版图包括多个掩模图形;
S2、基于预设的第一拆分规则将所述多个掩模图形拆分为有冲突图形和无冲突图形;
S3、基于预设的第二拆分规则将所述有冲突图形分为第一部分掩模图形和第二部分掩模图形,所述第一部分掩模图形和所述第二部分掩模图形中相互的掩模图形之间无冲突;
S4、基于预设的第三拆分规则将所述无冲突图形分为至少两种尺寸级别的第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形,所述第一尺寸掩模图形的最大尺寸大于所述第二尺寸掩模图形的最大尺寸;及
S5、分别将第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形中的其中一部分与第一部分掩模图形合并以获得第一版图、另一部分与第二部分掩模图形合并以获得第二版图。
请参阅图2,在步骤S1中,可以通过图形绘制软件绘制初始版图,初始版图上包括一个或者多个掩模图形10。图形绘制软件可以包括klayout软件。绘制完成的初始版图通常以gds文件格式进行存储。图2中的版图只是从初始版图中截取的其中一个部分。
在步骤S2中,基于预设的第一拆分规则将所述多个掩模图形拆分为有冲突图形和无冲突图形。解决冲突是版图拆分过程中首要考虑的一个任务,在步骤S2中通过对掩模图形先分为有冲突和无冲突两大类型,方便进一步针对有冲突的掩模图形做进一步的去冲突处理,而不是逐个遍历掩模图形,逐个判断是否存在冲突,对存在冲突的掩模图形逐个去冲突的方式,能很好的提高拆分速度。
请参阅图3A和图3B,在一些具体的实施例中,预设的第一拆分规则如下:设定任意相邻的两个掩模图形10边与边之间的边阈值、以及任意相邻的两个掩模图形10的角与角的角阈值,将小于边阈值或者角阈值的掩模图形10分为有冲突图形,剩余的分为无冲突图形。如图3A中所示,任意相邻的两个掩模图形10的两条边之间的距离过近,会影响成像分辨率,认为存在冲突。如图3B中所示,任意相邻的两个掩模图形10之间的两个临近角之间的距离过近,也会影响成像分辨率,认为存在冲突,因此可以通过拆分的方式解决冲突的问题。
需要说明的是,还存在其他方式评判是否存在冲突的方式,比如最小允许周期等。
可选地,边阈值以及角阈值的具体数值的设定主要是根据曝光成像过程中所需要达到的成像分辨率决定的。作为一个举例,边阈值的具体范围是:80-150nm,角阈值的具体范围是:80-150nm。可选地,边阈值的数值还可以是:90nm、110nm、 130nm或者140nm。角阈值的数值还可以是:90nm、110nm、130nm或者140nm。
请参阅图4A和图5A,基于设定的边阈值为110nm、角阈值为110nm将初始版图上的掩模图形10进行分类为有冲突图形和无冲突图形的示意图。在图4A和图5A中,浅灰色标识的区域为无冲突图形,例如框选的区域M的部分,而与该区域M相同颜色的部分也对应为无冲突图形。除了浅灰色标识的部分其他的区域则对应为有冲突图形,对应为黑色标识的部分,例如框选的区域N的部分。而与该区域N相同颜色的部分也对应为有冲突图形。其中图4A和图5A是关于初始版图上的两个不同的区域部分。
为了更好的展示图4A和图5A中有冲突图形和无冲突图形中掩模图形的具体形状以及排布规律,进一步对图4A选择一处有冲突图形区域对其进行放大,如图4B中所示,可以明显看出在图4B所示的掩模图形中,临近的两个掩模图形10之间的角距离为0.089μm(89nm),小于角阈值110nm,即为有冲突图形。从图5A中选择一处无冲突以及有冲突图形区域进行放大,如附图5B以及图5C中所示,可以明显看出图5B中相邻的掩模图形10之间的间距为0.114μm(114nm)大于边阈值110nm,即为无冲突图形。在图5C中所示的掩模图形10中,相邻的掩模图形10之间的间距为0.07μm(70nm)小于边阈值110nm,即为有冲突图形。
在上述步骤S3中,预设的第二拆分规则为:设定任意相邻的两个掩模图形边与边之间的边阈值、以及任意相邻的两个掩模图形的角与角的角阈值,将小于边阈值或者角阈值的两个掩模图形一个定义为第一部分掩模图形、另一个定义为第二部分掩模图形。
在一些具体的实施例中,如果同一行或者同一列上的掩模图形相互之间小于边阈值或者角阈值,同一行或者同一列的可以都归为第一部分掩模或者第二部分掩模。当然,还可以是依次排序顺序,将相邻的两个掩模图形中的一个归为第一部分掩模图形,另外一个归为第二部分掩模图形。
在本步骤S3中,设定的边阈值和角阈值的数值可以和上述步骤S2中的相同或者不相同都可以。
请参阅图6,通常掩模图形10是规则性排列的,如果相邻的两行或者两列之间的掩模图形10存在冲突,那么将这两行中的一行或者一列拆分作为第一部分掩模图形,另一行或者另一列作为第二部分掩模图形即可。可选地,奇数行上的掩模图形10作为第一部分掩模图形,偶数行上的掩模图形10作为第二部分掩模图形。这样不但可以解决冲突问题,还能很好的保证拆分之后的第一部分掩模图形中掩模图形的分布密度和第二部分掩模图形的分布密度相近,保证两者的曝光性能。如果这样拆分无法解决冲突问题,可以在后续拆分获得第一版图或者第二版图之后,进行临近效应校正(OPC)阶段进一步调整即可。比如 图6中,奇数行的掩模图形归为第一部分掩模图形,偶数行的掩模图形归为第二部分掩模图形。
请参阅图7,在步骤S4中,预设的第三拆分规则如下:设定面积尺寸阈值或者长度尺寸阈值,将超过面积尺寸阈值或者超过长度尺寸阈值的无冲突图形上的掩模图形归类为第一尺寸掩模图形,其余的归类为第二尺寸掩模图形。如附图7中所示,区域O对应的掩模图形为第一尺寸掩模图形,区域P中的掩模图形相对较小,对应为第二尺寸掩模图形。其中P1区域对应为区域P的矩形框选区域的放大图,其中O1对应为区域O的放大图。
请参阅图8A和图8B,需要进一步说明的是当掩模图形为非常规形状,比如不是常规的长方形、正方形时,为了方便计算,其边长的长度尺寸的计算方式可以如下:将该掩模图形对应的X轴方向上的起始坐标和终点坐标,Y轴方向上的起始坐标和终点坐标,将该四个坐标对应的顶点连接围合形成的矩形框的边长的长度则对应为该掩模图形的最大边长长度。这样可以不用遍历每一条边的边长,能很好的提高速度。
还需要说明的是,除了设定面积尺寸阈值或者长度尺寸面积阈值之外,还可以设定对角线长度阈值或者其他的评判指标阈值。
需要说明的是,步骤S3和步骤S4可以同时进行,或者先执行步骤S3再执行步骤S4、又或者先执行步骤S4再执行步骤S3均是可以的,两种没有先后的顺序限定。优选为两者同时进行,这样能很好的加快运算速度。
在步骤S5中,当基于步骤S4中已经将无冲突图形分为两个不同尺寸的类别掩模图形的基础上,可以对第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形并行处理,同时对第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形进行拆分操作,而不是逐一对无冲突图形进行拆分,能很好的提高拆分速度。
请参阅图9,分别将第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形中的其中一部分与第一部分掩模图形合并以获得第一版图、另一部分与第二部分掩模图形合并以获得第二版图的步骤如下:
S51、基于预设的第四拆分规则将所述第一尺寸掩模图形拆分成第三部分掩模图形和第四部分掩模图形,所述第四拆分规则包括:设定任意相邻的两个掩模图形边与边之间的边阈值、以及任意相邻的两个掩模图形的角与角的角阈值,将小于边阈值或者角阈值的两个掩模图形中的一个定义为第三部分掩模图形、另一个定义为第四部分掩模图形,而将大于边阈值或者角阈值的掩模图形部分归为第三部分掩模图形,另外部分归为第四部分掩模图形;
S52、将所述第一部分掩模图形与所述第三部分掩模图形合并以获得初始第一版图,将所述第二部分掩模图形与第四部分掩模图形合并以获得初始第二版图;
S53、将第二尺寸掩模图形上任意相邻的两个小于边阈值或者角阈值的掩模图形的一个拆分到初始第一版图,另一个拆分到初始第二版图,而将大于边阈值或者角阈值的掩模图形部分归为初始第一版图,另外部分归为初始第二版图上。
在步骤S51中,将大于边阈值或者角阈值的掩模图形部分归为第三部分掩模图形,另外部分归为第四部分掩模图形的过程中,可以是以间隔的顺序将其中一个拆分为第三部分掩模图形,另一个拆分为第四部分掩模图形。还可以是其他的方式,保证拆分之后图形之间相互无冲突即可。
在步骤S53中将大于边阈值或者角阈值的掩模图形部分归为初始第一版图,另外部分归为初始第二版图上可以是以间隔的顺序将其中一个拆分为第三部分掩模图形,另一个拆分为第四部分掩模图形。还可以是其他的方式,保证拆分之后图形之间相互无冲突即可。
为了在更加顺利将拆分的第一版图和第二版图上的图形顺利载入到掩模板上以制备获得的两块掩模,进一步需要对属于第一版图的掩模图形和第二版图的掩模图形着色。即,分别用第一颜色和第二颜色分别对第一版图和第二版图着色。
请参阅图10,用第一颜色和第二颜色分别对第一版图和第二版图着色的方式包括如下步骤:
T11、在合并获得第一版图和第二版图之前首先对第一部分掩模图形用第一颜色着色、对所述第二部分掩模图形用第二颜色着色;
T12、然后对第三部分掩模图形和第四部分掩模图形分别用第一颜色和第二颜色着色;
T13、最后对拆分到初始第一版图和初始第二版图上的第二尺寸掩模图形着色。
可以在执行步骤S3之后执行步骤T11。在执行步骤S51之后执行步骤T12。在执行步骤S53之后执行步骤T13。
在具体的实施例中,可以通过如下方式对第一部分掩模图形用第一颜色着色、对所述第二部分掩模图形用第二颜色着色:将有冲突图形中的每个掩模图形用一个圆形作为节点,将有冲突的节点之间用直线连接形成拓扑关系图,基于所述拓扑关系图对所述第一部分掩模图形和所述第二部分掩模图形着色。
请结合图11,为针对图6的掩模图形建立的拓扑关系图。建立的拓扑关系能很好的标定有冲突图形上每个掩模图形的位置信息,以在对第一部分掩模图形和第二部分掩模图形进行着色时,可以基于拓扑关系图参照进行着色,避免着色错误,当出现漏着色或者错误着色时,可以利用拓扑关系图进行核对和校正。
请参阅图12,区域A为针对图4A和图5A组合成的初始版图进行拆分之后并进行上色的第一版图和第二版图。为了更清楚 的展示,其中区域B、区域C、区域D和区域E对应为区域A中框选矩形区域的放大图,区域B、区域C也是基于步骤S4拆分成的第二尺寸掩模图形。从区域B、区域C中可以明显看出第二尺寸掩模图形以间隔的方式进行两种不同颜色的着色,其中同一种颜色(比如浅色)着色的对应为第一版图,另一种较深颜色着色的对应为第二版图。
其中区域D是基于步骤S2拆分成的无冲突图形,其中在区域D又进一步基于步骤S4拆分成第一尺寸掩模图形和第二尺寸掩模图形,其中细长条形的掩模图形对应为第一尺寸掩模图形,小矩形的掩模图形对应为第二尺寸掩模图形。其中在区域D中第一尺寸掩模图形又基于步骤S51分成第三部分掩模图形和第四部分掩模图形,其中在区域D中,浅颜色的掩模图形对应为第三部分掩模图形,深颜色的掩模图形对应为第四部分掩模图形。在区域D中又将第二尺寸掩模图形以步骤S53的方式以浅颜色和深颜色进行着色,其中浅颜色作为第一版图,深颜色部分作为第二版图。从区域E中可以明显看出针对图5A中的有冲突图形按照步骤S3进行拆分之后以深颜色和浅颜色两种不同颜色的着色,其中同一种颜色(比如浅色)着色的对应为第一版图,另一种较深颜色着色的对应为第二版图。
图12中区域B-区域E是针对初始版图执行完步骤S1-步骤S5之后的获得第一版图和第二版图的部分解释说明,其中浅颜色上色的都是第一版图,而深颜色着色的都是第二版图。
请参阅图13,本发明第二实施例提供一种版图拆分装置100,用于对待优化掩模进行优化,其包括版图设计模块30、第一拆分模块40、第二拆分模块50、第三拆分模块60、第四拆分模块70。
