【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实例,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。
作为一种说明,本发明中的缺陷即设计版图的缺陷是存在于设计版图上,通过设计版图获取的掩模版图的存在的缺陷来源于设计版图上的缺陷,而非获取掩模版图过程中的工艺流程带来的缺陷。
请参阅图1,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,包括以下步骤:
S1:提供设计版图,并通过设计版图获取掩模版图;

请参阅图2,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,步骤S1之后还包括,
S100:对提供的掩模版图进行光学邻近效应校正。
可以理解地,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,掩模版图为已经过光学邻近效应校正(Optical Proximity Correction,OPC)的掩模版图,或为未经过OPC的掩模版图。采用已经过光学邻近效应校正的设计版图可以减少设计版图的缺陷,进而减少了设计版图缺陷修复所需要的花费的时间。
可以理解地,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法中对提供设计版图获取的掩模版图是否经过OPC修复不做限定,作为一种优选,本实施例中的掩模版图为经过步骤S0即经过OPC修复的掩模版图。
请参阅图3,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,在步骤S2中获取设计版图上的缺陷信息,具体包括以下步骤:
S21:对掩模版图进行模拟仿真得到初次曝光轮廓;

具体的,缺陷信息包括缺陷类型信息及缺陷位置信息。缺陷类型可分为EPE(Edge placement error,边缘放置误差)、PINCH(电路断路)以及BRIDGE(短路)等。缺陷位置即为设计版图的缺陷在其掩模版图中所对应的位置。
可以理解地,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,通过对设计版图上的缺陷信息进行识别,可以依据缺陷的类型以及位置等信息,可以更好地方便后续步骤的进行。对设计版图缺陷的类型进行识别可以保使得后续对其修复的方式为对应方式,对设计版图缺陷对应的掩模版图上的位置进行判定可以方便后续对其缺陷对应的缺陷边进行判断标记以及移动,提高了设计版图修复的效率,减少了所需消耗的时间。
请参阅图4,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,步骤S3中对设计版图进行修复包括以下步骤:
S31:根据缺陷信息获取缺陷对应的掩模版图的缺陷边;
S32:根据修复规则及缺陷类型信息移动缺陷边得到已修复掩模版图。

可以理解地,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,以缺陷所在位置为中心点根据预设尺寸界定标记区域,即形成以缺陷为中心点的矩形框,矩形框所包含区域则为界定区域,矩形框与该缺陷所在位置的掩模版图的边被矩形框所包含,或者该缺陷所在位置的掩模版图的边与矩形框的边界重合或相交,那么处于矩形框内的掩模版图的边或与矩形框相交或重叠的掩模版图的边均被判断为缺陷边。

示例性的,在步骤S311中根据缺陷类型界定了标记区域,根据这个标记区域,标记的边可以进行具有特定规则的移动,比方说EPE为正值的缺陷即边缘放置误差大于0,标记的边就应该往标记区域内部的方向去移动;反之,由负值EPE即边缘放置误差小于0的缺陷标定的边,则应该往标记区域外部的方向去移动。由PINCH缺陷标记到的边就应该往标记区域外部的方向去移动,而通过BRIDGE缺陷标记到的边则需要往标记区域内部的方向去移动。
请参阅图8,本发明第一实施例提供一种设计版图缺陷修复方法,步骤S3之后还包括,
S4:再次对已修复掩模版图进行仿真模拟生成曝光轮廓并对曝光轮廓进行缺陷检测,若对缺陷修复未达到预设情况,则对已修复掩模版图再次进行修复。

S202:对曝光轮廓进行缺陷检测,得出该仿真曝光轮廓存在EPE缺陷;
S203:获取EPE缺陷的位置信息;
