Description

一种光学反射仪和检测待检测样品表面的方法 技术领域
本申请涉及半导体制造技术领域,尤其涉及一种光学反射仪、检测装置、化学机械研磨设备和检测待检测样品表面的方法。
背景技术
在化学机械研磨设备(Chemical Mechanical Planarization,CMP)中,需要一套完备的手段去检测和监控研磨过程,从而可以根据检测结果对样品的研磨过程进行调整。在常用的检测手段中,激光反射检测技术能够实现光学无接触的特点,并且具有快速、准确的优点,因此,被广泛应用。激光反射检测技术的主要工作原理是:当光线照射在样品表面后,在样品的不同导电金属面上同样波长的光线具有不同的反射率。另外,光线在不同厚度的透明或者半透明介质层中会发生衍射效应,从而会导致光强有所变化。因此,通过对反射光线的光强和光强的变化便可以表征样品表面的信息,从而判断出样品表面是否达到研磨要求。
在目前应用激光反射检测技术的仪器中,为了实现多角度检测,通常会配备多个光源。即在不同位置分别放置一个光源,以使光线从不同角度照射在样品表面。但是,这种方式会明显增加光源的使用数量,因此,会造成制作成本过大的情况。另外,多个光源也会增加整个仪器的体积,从而不利于小型化设计。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种能够利用单一光源产生不同入射角度光线的光学反射仪、检测装置、化学机械研磨设备和检测待检测样品表面的方法。
一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种光学反射仪,包括至少一个光源、分光件和第一反射件。所述至少一个光源用于产生初始光束。分光件位于初始光束的光路中,用于将初始光束分割为沿第一方向传播的第一分束和沿第二方向传播的第二分束,且第一分束照射在目标面。第一反光件位于第二分束的光路中,用于改变第二分束的传播方向,以使第二分束照射在目标面;其中,第一分束照射至目标面后,反射至第一传感器;第二分束照射至目标面后,反射至第二传感器。在本申请实施例提供的光学反射仪中,通过分光件,能够将光源产生的初始光束分割为两个沿不同方向进行传播的分束,从而能够增加光束的数量,并且通过第一传感器对分束进行有效接收,通过第二传感器能够对第二分束进行有效接收。或者,也可以理解为,通过分光件能够使得单一光源产生两个有效光束,从而能够减少光源的使用数量,有利于降低制作成本和体积,便于实现小型化设计。当光学反射仪应用到化学机械研磨设备中,对待检测样品的表面进行检测时,采用通过第一分束和第二分束能够提升检测精度。例如,当采用一个光束(如第一分束)照射在待检测样品的表面,光束的角度与待检测样品的表面产生变化后,反射光的光强也会有所不同,从而会产生检测误差。当通过第一分束和第二分束照在射待检测样品的表面时,可以综合考虑两个光束的反 射光的光强,从而有利于提升检测精度。第一传感器接收第一分束的反射光后便可检测到反射光的光强。第二传感器接收第二分束的反射光后便可检测到反射光的光强。检测电路可以根据第一传感器和第二传感器所检测到的反射光的光强来判断待检测样品表面的状态。
在具体实施时,第一分束有可能会直接照射在目标面,或者,第一分束也有可能不会照射在目标面。当第一分束不能直接照射在目标面时,可以通过第二反光件对第一分束的传播方向进行改变,以使第一分束能够照射在目标面。
在具体实施时,光源的设置数量可以是一个也可以是多个。当光源的设置数量为多个时,多个光源所产生的初始光束的波长不相同。以使不同波长的光线能够有效的照射至待检测样品的表面,从而提升检测精度。例如,不同的材料对于同一波长的光束的反射率可能相同,因此,若采用单一波长的光束可能会无法有效的检测出两个材料的交界面。若采用两种不同波长的光束后,可以有效避免上述不良情况的发生,从而可以提高检测精度。
当光源的设置数量为多个时,多个光源可以并列设置,即多个光源所产生的初始光束的方向可以一致。以使分光件能够位于多个初始光束的光路中,从而,通过一个分光件便可对所有的初始光束进行有效分割,以便于降低分光件的使用数量。或者,多个光源也可以呈夹角设置,即多个光源所产生的初始光束的方向呈夹角(或不一致)。本申请对多个光源的位置布局不作限制。
在具体应用时,分光件可以包括分束镜片。其中,分束镜片具体可以是半透半反镜片。具体来说,光源所产生的初始光束以45°夹角照射在半透半反镜片的表面后,约50%的初始光束会直接透出,形成第一分束。约50%的初始光束被反射后形成第二分束。即通过半透半反镜片,初始光束被分割为光强大致相同的第一分束和第二分束。由于第一分束和第二分束的光强大致相同,因此,在后期对相应的检测信号进行相关计算时会减小计算难度。可以理解的是,在另外的实施方式中,分光件也可以采用分束器或者其他具有分束功能的器件对初始光束进行处理,以将初始光束分割为两个分束。本申请对分光件的具体类型不作具体限制。
对于第一反光件,在具体实施时,第一反光件可以是全反射镜。当光线照射在全反射镜的表面后,几乎100%的光线会被反射。可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,第一反光件也可以是全反射棱镜或其他能够改变光线传播方向的器件。本申请对第一反光件的具体类型不作限制。
可以理解的是,在具体应用时,也可以通过多个第一反光件对第二分束的传播方向进行调整。或者,也可以通过多个第一反光件对第二分束的传播方向进行依次调整。本申请对第一反光件的设置数量和具体位置不作具体限制。
对于第二反光件,在具体实施时,第一反光件可以是全反射镜。当光线照射在全反射镜的表面后,几乎100%的光线会被反射。可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,第二反光件也可以是全反射棱镜或其他能够改变光线传播方向的器件。本申请对第二反光件的具体类型不作限制。
可以理解的是,在具体应用时,也可以通过多个第二反光件对第一分束的传播方向进行调整。或者,也可以通过多个第二反光件对第一分束传播方向进行依次调整。本申请对第二反光件的设置数量和具体位置不作具体限制。
在实际应用时,光源或分光件的设置位置可能会存在一定的局限性,导致光源产生的 初始光束不能直接照射至分光件,因此,还可以设有第三反光件。例如,第三反光件可以设置在初始光束的传播路径中,用于改变初始光束的传播方向,以使初始光束能够照射至分光件。通过第三反光件,可以有效增加光源和分光件在位置布局上的灵活性。
在具体应用时,第三反光件可以选用与第一反光件相同或相类似的器件,在此不作赘述。
另一方面,本申请实施例还提供了一种检测装置,包括光学反射仪、第一传感器和第二传感器。当第一分束照射至目标面后产生反射。第一传感器接收第一分束的反射光后,根据第一分束的反射光的光强产生相应的第一检测信号。当第二分束照射至目标面后产生反射。第二传感器接收第二分束的反射光后,根据第二分束的反射光的光强产生相应的第二检测信号。
在具体实施时,检测装置还可以包括检测电路,检测电路与第一传感器和第二传感器电连接,用于接收第一检测信号和第二检测信号。通过检测电路的相关计算,便可判断出目标面是否满足要求。
在具体应用时,检测装置可以应用在多种设备中,用于实现检测目的。
例如,本申请实施例还提供了一种化学机械研磨设备。包括研磨垫和检测装置。研磨垫具有透明视窗,待检测样品可以位于研磨垫的一侧,且待检测样品的目标面位于透明视窗的投影区域内,检测装置可以位于研磨垫的另一侧,以使检测装置能够通过透明视窗来观测到待检测样品的目标面。
实际应用时,化学机械研磨设备中还可以配合其他类型的检测装置对待检测样品进行检测,从而提升检测精度和适用范围。
例如,可以通过涡流传感器对待检测样品进行检测。其中,在实际应用时,涡流传感器和上述的检测装置需要安装在透明视窗的同一侧。在本申请实施例提供的实施例中,当光学反射仪中包括多个并列设置的光源时,涡流传感器的投影可以位于相邻的两个光源之间,且不会对光线构成阻挡。另外还可以为涡流传感器提供足够的安装位置,能实现安装空间的有效兼容。
另一方面,本申请实施例还提供了一种检测待检测样品表面的方法,包括:使用至少一个光源产生初始光束,使用分光件将初始光束分割为沿第一方向传播的第一分束和沿第二方向传播的第二分束,且第一分束照射在目标面。使用第一反光件使第二分束照射在目标面;其中,第一分束照射至目标面后,反射至第一传感器,第二分束照射至目标面后,反射至第二传感器。通过本申请实施例提供的检测待检测样品表面的方法,可以将光源产生的初始光束分割为沿不同方向传播的第一分束和第二分束,从而能够减少光源的使用数量,有利于降低相应的检测设备的体积和制作成本。
在一种可能的实现方式中,检测待检测样品表面的方法还可以包括:第一传感器接收第一分束在目标面反射后的光束,并产生第一检测信号。第二传感器接收第二分束在目标面反射后的光束,并产生第二检测信号。检测电路根据第一检测信号和第二检测信号判断待检测样品的目标面的状态。
在一种可能的实现方式中,在使用分光件对初始光束进行分割之前还可以包括:使用反光件改变初始光束的传播方向,以使初始光束能够有效的照射在分光件。
在一种可能的实现方式中,使用光源产生初始光束可以包括:使用多个光源来产生多个波长不同的初始光束,从而有利于提升检测精度。例如,不同的材料对于同一波长的光 束的反射率可能相同,因此,若采用单一波长的光束可能会无法有效的检测出两个材料的交界面。若采用两种不同波长的光束后,可以有效避免上述不良情况的发生,从而可以提高检测精度。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
为了方便理解本申请实施例提供的光学反射仪,下面首先介绍一下其应用场景。
光学反射仪可以应用在利用光线对待检测样品表面进行检测的设备中。例如,如图1所示,可以通过具备光学反射仪的检测装置对待检测样品01的表面(如图中的下表面)进行检测。具体来说,光源02产生的光线照射在待检测样品01的表面后反射至光传感器03。当反射光线的光强有所变化时,光传感器03会产生不同的检测信号。后端的检测电路04依据光传感器03的检测信号便可判断出待检测样品01的表面是否符合要求。例如,当待检测样品01表面的材质有所不同时,光线会具有不同的反射率,因此,导致反射光线的光强有所不同。光传感器03针对不同的光强会产生不同的检测信号。因此,后端的检测电路04可以根据光传感器03的检测信号来判断待检测样品01表面是否达到研磨要求。另外,光线在不同厚度的透明或者半透明介质层中会发生衍射效应,从而会导致光强有规律性变化。因此,通过对反射光线的光强或光强的变化规律便可以表征待检测样品01表面的信息,从而判断出待检测样品01的表面是否符合要求。
在实际应用中,单一光源只能提供单一入射角度的光线,因此,在进行检测时很难实 现较为精准的检测。如图2所示,目前,为了提供实现多角度的检测,通常会在不同位置配备多个(图中示出有4个)光源02,且对应每个光源02分别配备有一个光传感器03。但是这种方式会明显增加光源02的使用数量,因此,会造成制作成本过大的情况。另外,多个光源02也会增加整个仪器的体积,从而不利于小型化设计。
为此,本申请实施例提供了一种能够利用单一光源产生不同入射角度光线的光学反射仪。
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图和具体实施例对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的,而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样,单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”和“该”旨在也包括例如“一个或多个”这种表达形式,除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。还应当理解,在本申请以下各实施例中,“至少一个”是指一个、两个或两个以上。
在本说明书中描述的参考“一个实施例”等意味着在本申请的一个或多个实施例中包括结合该实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特点。由此,在本说明书中的不同之处出现的语句“在一个实施例中”、“在一些实施方式中”、“在另外的实施方式中”等不是必然都参考相同的实施例,而是意味着“一个或多个但不是所有的实施例”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。术语“包括”、“具有”及它们的变形都意味着“包括但不限于”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。
如图3所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,光学反射仪包括光源10、分光件20和第一反光件30。光源10用于产生初始光束100。分光件20位于初始光束100的光路中,用于将初始光束100分割为沿第一方向传播的第一分束101和沿第二方向传播的第二分束102。第一反光件30位于第二分束102的光路中,用于改变第二分束102的传播方向,以使第二分束102照射在目标面(如图中待检测样品01的下表面)。在本申请实施例提供的光学反射仪中,通过分光件20,能够将光源10产生的初始光束100分割为两个沿不同方向进行传播的分束,从而能够增加光束的数量。或者,也可以理解为,通过分光件20能够使得单一光源10产生两个有效光束,从而能够减少光源10的使用数量,有利于降低光学反射仪的制作成本和体积,便于实现小型化设计。另外,通过第一反光件30,能够对第二分束102的传播方向进行有效调整,以使第二分束102能够照射至待检测样品01的表面(即目标面),并且,两个光束能够以不同角度照射在待检测样品01的表面,从而有利于提升对待检测样品01的表面进行检测时的精度。例如,当采用一个光束照射在待检测样品01的表面,当光束的角度与待检测样品01的表面产生变化后,反射光的光强也会有所不同,从而会产生检测误差。当采用两个不同角度的光束照在射待检测样品01的表面时,可以综合考虑两个光束的反射光的光强,从而有利于提升检测精度。
可以理解的是,在本申请提供的实施例中,由于第一分束101可有效的照射在目标面,因此,未对第一分束101的传播方向进行调整。由于第二分束102的传播方向背离目标面,因此,通过第一反光件30对第二分束102的传播方向进行了调整,以使第二分束102能够有效的照射至目标面。
可以理解的是,在另外的一些实施方式中,当第一分束101不能有效照射至目标面时,也可以通过第二反光件(图中未示出)来改变第一分束101的传播方向,以使第一分束101能够有效的照射至目标面。或者,在一些情况下,第二反光件也可以理解为第一反光件30. 例如,可以将第一反光件30设置在第一分束101的光路中,以将第一分束101的传播方向进行调整。或者,当第二分束102在不依靠第一反光件30的作用下,仍能够有效的照射至目标面时,也可以省略设置第一反光件30。
如图3所示,在具体实施时,光源10可以包括激光器11和准直器12。在具体应用时,激光器11可以是固态激光器,也可以是可调谐激光器。其中,固态激光器可以产生特定波长的激光。可调谐激光器在一定范围内可以连续改变激光输出的波长。可以理解的是,在具体应用时,本申请对激光器11的具体类型不作限制。
准直器12的主要作用是,将激光器11产生的光线进行准直,以将光线处理为大致平行的光束,从而减少光线在后续的传播过程中产生能量耗散等不良现象。
可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,光源10也可以是其他类型的能够产生所需光束的器件,本申请对光源10的组成结构和具体类型不作限制。
对于分光件20,在本申请提供的实施例中,分光件20具体为分束镜片。
如图4所示,分束镜片主要是用于将入射光分成具有一定光强比例的透射光和反射光。在结构上,分束镜片主要包括光学玻璃21和镀在光学玻璃21表面的一层或多层薄膜22。当入射光在特定入射角度下照射在分束镜片表面后,一部分光线会直接透出,另一部分光线会被反射,从而形成两束光强呈特定比例的透射光和反射光。例如,在本申请提供实施例中,分束镜片具体为半透半反镜片。具体来说,光源所产生的初始光束以45°夹角照射在半透半反镜片的表面后,约50%的初始光束会直接透出,形成第一分束。约50%的初始光束被反射后形成第二分束。即通过半透半反镜片,初始光束被分割为光强大致相同的第一分束和第二分束。由于第一分束和第二分束的光强大致相同,因此,在后期对相应的检测信号进行相关计算时会减小计算难度。
可以理解的是,在具体应用时,初始光束100也可以呈其他的夹角(如0°至90°之间的任意值)照射在分束镜片的表面。另外,第一分束101和第二分束102的光强也可以不相同。例如,第一分束101与第二分束102的光强比例可以是1:2,1:3,2:1或2:3等。
或者,如图5所示,在另外的实施方式中,分光件20也可以是分束器。具体来说,分束器一般是立方体结构,主要由截面为三角形的玻璃棱镜23和玻璃棱镜24组成。在玻璃棱镜23和玻璃棱镜24之间通过介质膜25粘合在一起。其中,介质膜25的材质可以是聚酯、环氧树脂或聚氨酯等。在使用时,初始光束可以垂直于分束器的一侧面射入。经过介质膜25后,一部分光线沿初始光束的传播方向直接透出,形成第一分束;另一部分光线与初始光束呈90°夹角透出,形成第二分束。
可以理解的是,在实际应用时,分光件20也可以采用其他具有分束功能的器件对初始光束100进行处理,以将初始光束100分割为两个分束。本申请对分光件20的具体类型不作具体限制。
请参阅图3。对于第一反光件30,在本申请提供的实施例中,第一反光件30为全反射镜。当光线照射在全反射镜的表面后,几乎100%的光线会被反射。
可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,第一反光件30也可以是全反射棱镜或其他能够改变光线传播方向的器件。本申请对第一反光件30的具体类型不作限制。
另外,在本申请提供的实施例中,通过一个第一个反光件30对第二分束102的传播方向进行调整。可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,也可以通过多个第一反光件30对第二分束102的传播方向进行依次调整,以改变第二分束102的传播方向。本申请对第一 反光件30的设置数量和具体位置不作具体限制。
相应的,当第一分束101不能直接照射在目标面时,通过一个第二个反光件(图中未示出)对第一分束101的传播方向进行调整。可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,也可以通过多个第二反光件对第一分束101的传播方向进行依次调整,以改变第一分束101的传播方向。本申请对第二反光件的设置数量和具体位置不作具体限制。
在实际应用时,光源10或分光件20的设置位置可能会存在一定的局限性,导致光源10产生的初始光束100不能直接照射至分光件20,因此,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,还设有第三反光件40。
如图6所示,第三反光件40设置在初始光束100的传播路径中。或者,也可以理解为,第三反光件40位于光源10和分光件20之间,用于改变初始光束100的传播方向,以使初始光束100能够照射至分光件20。通过第三反光件40,可以有效增加光源10和分光件20在位置布局上的灵活性。
在本申请提供的实施例中,第三反光件40为全反射镜。当光线照射在全反射镜的表面后,几乎100%的光线会被反射。
可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,第三反光件40也可以是全反射棱镜或其他能够高效率的改变光线传播方向的器件。本申请对第三反光件40的具体类型不作限制。
另外,在本申请提供的实施例中,通过一个第三反光件40对初始光束100的传播方向进行调整。可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,也可以通过多个第三反光件40对初始光束100的传播方向进行依次调整,以改变初始光束100的传播方向,使初始光束100能够更好的照射至分光件20。可以理解的是,本申请对第三反光件40的设置数量和具体位置不作具体限制。
另外,在实际应用中,光源10也可以设置两个或两个以上,不同光源10所产生的初始光束100的波长可以不同,以使不同波长的光线能够有效的照射至待检测样品01的表面,从而提升检测精度。
如图7所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,设有两个光源10,分别为光源10a和光源10b。其中,光源10a和光源10b所产生的初始光束100的波长不相同。另外,光源10a和光源10b并列设置,即光源10a和光源10b产生的初始光束100相互平行。光源10a和光源10b产生的初始光束100经第三反光件40后传播方向产生变化,从而能够有效的传输至分光件20。经分光件20后,每个初始光束100均被分割为两个分束。请结合参阅图6,其中,第一分束101直接照射至待检测样品01的下表面。第二分束102经第一反光件30反射后照射至待检测样品01的下表面。当采用两个波长不同的光源后,可以有效提升对待检测样品01表面的检测精度。例如,不同的材料对于同一波长的光束的反射率可能相同,因此,若采用一个光源10可能会无法有效的检测出两个材料的交界面。若采用两种不同波长的光束后,可以有效避免上述不良情况的发生,从而可以提高检测精度。
另外,在本申请提供的实施例中,将光源10a和光源10b进行并列设置以后,可以通过一个第三反光件40、分光件20和第一反光件30便可对光源10a和光源10b所产生的光线进行同时处理,从而能够有效减少相关部件(如第三反光件40、分光件20和第一反光件30)的配置数量,从而有利于降低制作成本和装配时的复杂度。
当然,在其他的实施方式中,光源10也可以设置三个或者更多个。多个光源10可以并列设置也可以呈夹角设置。可以理解的是,当多个光源10呈夹角设置时,对于每个光 源10可以分别配备独立的第三反光件40、分光件20和第一反光件30,以使所有的光束均能够有效的照射至待检测样品01的表面(即目标面)。
在实际应用时,上述的光学反射仪可以应用在多种利用光线对待检测样品01表面进行检测的装置中。
例如,如图8所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种检测装置,包括光学反射仪、第一传感器51、第二传感器52和检测电路60。需要说明的是,为了便于理解检测装置的检测原理,下面以配备有一个光源10的光学反射仪为例进行具体说明。具体来说,光学反射仪中包括一个光源10、第三反光件40、分光件20和第一反光件30。光源10产生的初始光束100经第三反光件40反射后,改变了初始光束100的传播方向,以使初始光束100照射至分光件20。初始光束100经分光件20进行处理后,被分割为第一分束101和第二分束102。其中,第一分束101照射至待检测样品01的下表面后产生反射。第一传感器51接收第一分束101的反射光后,根据第一分束101的光强产生相应的第一检测信号。第二分束102经第一反光件30反射后,改变了第二分束102的传播方向,使第二分束102照射至待检测样品01。当第二分束102照射至待检测样品01的下表面后产生反射。第二传感器52接收第二分束102的反射光后,根据第二分束102的光强产生相应的第二检测信号。
可以理解的是,在实际应用中,光源10的设置数量也可以是两个或者更多个。另外,需要说明的是,当光源10的设置数量增加后,相应的传感器(如上述的第一传感器51和第二传感器52)的设置数量也需要对应增加,从而可以对每个反射后的光线进行有效接收。
检测电路60与第一传感器51和第二传感器52电连接,并对第一传感器51和第二传感器52的检测信号进行处理,从而可以判断出待检测样品01的下表面是否符合要求。在具体实施时,检测电路60中可以包括放大电路、模数转换电路和计算电路等。其中,放大电路用于放大第一传感器51和第二传感器52的检测信号,以供后续的相关处理。模数转换电路的主要功能是将模拟信号转化为数字信号,以供后续的相关计算。计算电路用于对转化后的检测信号进行计算等处理,以判断出待检测样品01的表面是否符合要求。其中,第一传感器51和第二传感器52可以是光电二极管(Photo Diode,PD)、雪崩光电二极管(Avalanche Photo Diode,APD)、电荷耦合器件图像传感器(Charge Coupled Device,CCD)或互补金属氧化物半导体传感器(Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor,CMOS)等。本申请对第一传感器51和第二传感器52的具体类型不作限制。
计算电路可以应用现场可编程逻辑门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA)的计算电路,也可以是微控制单元(Microcontroller Unit,MCU)等。本申请对计算电路的具体类型不作限制。
如图9所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种检测待检测样品表面的方法,包括步骤S100、步骤S200和步骤S300。
具体来说,步骤S100,使用至少一个光源产生初始光束。
步骤S200、使用分光件将初始光束分割为沿第一方向传播的第一分束和沿第二方向传播的第二分束,且第一分束照射在目标面。
步骤S300、使用第一反光件使第二分束照射在目标面。
其中,第一分束照射至目标面后,反射至第一传感器,第二分束照射至目标面后,反射至第二传感器。
在具体实施时,待检测样品可以是晶圆。例如,在晶圆中包括多层介质层和多层金属层,在将晶圆制备成特定的产品时,可以采用化学机械研磨的方法将其中的介质层或金属层去除。当光线(如第一分束和第二分束)照射至不同材料的表面后反射光的光强有所不同。因此,通过第一传感器对第一分束的反射光进行接收、通过第二传感器对第二分束的反射光进行接收后,可以检测到反射光的光强,以此来判断是否达到研磨要求。
请结合参阅图8和图9。通过本申请实施例提供的检测待检测样品表面的方法,可以将光源10产生的初始光束100分割为沿不同方向传播的第一分束101和第二分束102,从而能够减少光源10的使用数量,有利于降低相应的检测设备的体积和制作成本。另外,两个光束能够以不同角度照射在待检测样品01的表面(或目标面),从而有利于提升对待检测样品01的表面进行检测时的精度。例如,当采用一个光束照射在待检测样品01的表面,当光束的角度与待检测样品01的表面产生变化后,反射光的光强也会有所不同,从而会产生检测误差。当采用两个不同角度的光束照在射待检测样品01的表面时,可以综合考虑两个光束的反射光的光强,从而有利于提升检测精度。
在步骤S100中,使用光源产生初始光束具体可以包括:使用多个光源,产生多个波长不同的初始光束。
当采用两个波长不同的光源后,可以有效提升对待检测样品01表面的检测精度。例如,不同的材料对于同一波长的光束的反射率可能相同,因此,若采用一个光源10可能会无法有效的检测出两个材料的交界面。若采用两种不同波长的光束后,可以有效避免上述不良情况的发生,从而可以提高检测精度。
在步骤S300中,使第一分束和第二分束照射在目标面具体可以包括:使用反光件将第一分束和/或第二分束反射至目标面。
请结合参阅图8和图9。具体来说,当第二分束102不能直接照射至目标面时,可以通过第一反光件30改变第二分束102的传播方向,以使第二分束102能够照射在目标面。另外,可以理解的是,当第一分束101不能直接照射至目标面时,可以通过反光件改变第一分束101的传播方向,以使第一分束101能够照射在目标面。当第一分束101和第二分束102均不能直接照射至目标面时,可以通过反光件改变第一分束101和第二分束102的传播方向,以使第一分束101和第二分束102均能够照射在目标面。可以理解的是,在具体实施时,反光件的类型、使用数量和设置位置本申请不作限制。
如图10所示,在一种可能的实现方式中,检测待检测样品表面的方法还可以包括步骤S400、步骤S500和步骤S600。
具体来说,步骤S400、第一传感器接收第一分束在目标面反射后的光束,并产生第一检测信号。
步骤S500、第二传感器接收第二分束在目标面反射后的光束,并产生第二检测信号。
步骤S600、检测电路根据第一检测信号和第二检测信号判断待检测样品的目标面的状态。
在具体实施时,检测电路可以根据第一检测信号和第二检测信号来判断目标面的状态,进而判断是否达到研磨要求。
如图11和图8所示,在一种可能的实现方式中,在步骤S200之前,还可以包括步骤S101、使用第三反光件40改变初始光束的传播方向。
在实际应用时,光源10或分光件20的设置位置可能会存在一定的局限性,导致光源 10产生的初始光束100不能直接照射至分光件20,因此,可以通过第三反光件40来改变初始光束的传播方向,以使初始光束能够有效的照射至分光件20。
可以理解的是,在具体实施时,上述的检测待检测样品表面的方法也可以不依照上述的步骤或顺序进行实施。本申请对步骤的顺序不作限制。
在实际应用时,上述的检测装置和检测方法可以应用在多种需要对样品的表面进行检测的设备中。
本申请实施例还提供了一种化学机械研磨设备。化学机械研磨设备的利用化学腐蚀作用和机械去除作用相结合的加工技术,在研磨过程中需要一套完备的检测系统去监控和调整研磨过程。这套检测系统中可以包括电机扭矩传感器、闭环控制、分区压力调节、转速调节和研磨液流速调节等。这其中也可以包含本申请实施例所提供的检测装置。总的来说,整个检测系统的主要是为了在对样品进行研磨时,保证样品中的单个晶圆面内(With-in wafer,WIW)和不同晶圆之间(Wafer to wafer,WTW)的平坦一致性,并能够研磨掉理想的厚度等。
具体来说,如图12和图13所示,化学机械研磨设备可以包括研磨垫(图中未示出)和检测装置。研磨垫具有透明视窗70,待检测样品01可以位于研磨垫的上方,且通过透明视窗70能够观测到待检测样品01。
在具体实施时,透明视窗70可以镶嵌在研磨垫中,并与研磨垫之间保持良好的密闭性,从而防止研磨液或水汽等杂质对检测装置造成侵蚀等不良影响。
可以理解的是,在实际应用时,化学机械研磨设备中还可以包括用于投放研磨材料的投放机构。还可以包括用于驱动待检测样品01进行旋转或移动等动作的驱动部件。或者,用于驱动研磨垫进行旋转或移动的驱动部件等。在实际应用中,化学机械研磨设备可以采用目前较为成熟的产品类型,在此不作赘述。
在化学机械研磨设备中,通过配备本申请实施例提供的检测装置,可以对待检测样品01的表面(如图中的下表面)进行有效检测,并且,可以根据检测结果来控制整个研磨过程,从而有效提升研磨效果。
下面,对检测装置的检测过程进行具体说明。
请结合参阅图12和图13。检测装置中包括两个光源,分别为光源10a和光源10b,光源10a和光源10b并列设置,即光源10a产生的初始光束100a和光源10b产生的初始光束100b相互平行。初始光束100a和初始光束100b经第三反光件40后传播方向产生变化,从而能够有效的传输至分光件20。经分光件20后,初始光束100a被分割为第一分束101a和第二分束102a;初始光束100b被分割为第一分束101b和第二分束102b。其中,第一分束101a和第一分束101b直接照射至待检测样品01的下表面。第二分束102a和第二分束102b经第一反光件30反射后照射至待检测样品01的下表面。当光源10a和光源10b所产生的初始光束100的波长不同时,可以有效提升对待检测样品01表面的检测精度。
具体来说,如图14所示,待检测样品01的下表面具有第一介质层011和第二介质层012,其中,第一介质层011和第二介质层012的材料有所不同。在进行研磨时,若以第一介质层011被研磨完为标准要求,则可以通过光源10a和光源10b所产生的光束对待检测样品01的下表面进行有效检测。
假设光源10a所产生的光线的波长为600nm,光源10a所产生的光线的波长为400nm。
如图15所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种光强变化数据仿真。图中横坐标表示研磨 厚度(nm),纵坐标表示反射率。L1为第一分束101a的仿真曲线。L2为第一分束101b的仿真曲线。L3为第二分束102a的仿真曲线。虚线表示第一介质层011和第二介质层012的分界点。
由图中可以看出,当仅以L3为检测依据时,则在区域A附近L3的仿真曲线应该产生明显变化。但是,由于第二分束102b在第一介质层011和第二介质层012中的反射率几乎相同,因此,不能检测出第一介质层011和第二介质层012之间的分界点,从而会导致检测失效。
第一分束101a和第一分束101b在第一介质层011和第二介质层012中的反射率存在明显差异,因此,若以L1或L2为检测依据可以有效的检测出第一介质层011和第二介质层012的临界点,从而可以判断出是否达到研磨要求。
另外,请继续参阅图15。总体来看,虽然L1和L2的变化趋势基本相同,但是在区域B附近还是存在细微的差异。例如,L1的曲线变化是先上仰,之后区域平稳。L2的曲线变化是直接趋于平稳。因此,通过对L1和L2的综合参考,可以更加精准的判断出是否达到研磨要求。
总的来说,通过在多个不同波长光线的条件下,可以有效提升检测精度。另外,通过增加不同角度的入射光线,可以更加精确的判断出是否达到研磨要求,从而能够提升研磨时的效率和精准度。
另外,当第一介质层011为透明或半透明的材质时,也可以通过光线在第一介质层011中的衍射效应来判断是否达到研磨要求。
如图16所示,为本申请实施例提供的另一个光强变化数据仿真图。图中横坐标表示研磨厚度(nm),纵坐标表示反射率。L4为第一分束101a的仿真曲线。L5为第二分束102a的仿真曲线。虚线表示第一介质层011和第二介质层012的分界点。
由于光线在第一介质011中的衍射效应,其光强变化遵循正弦变化,直到研磨至第二介质层012时,这种规律才会消失,因此,可以以此来判断是否达到研磨要求。
具体来说,如图16所示,如果单以L5为检测依据时,则在区域C附近则满足研磨标准。但是,如果单以L4为检测依据时,则在区域D附近才能满足研磨标准,因此,会存在误差。另外,在一些情况下,若介质层011或第二介质层012的表面存在图案(或被图形化)时,还有可能出现衍射光线的光强不足或不在检测范围内的情况,因此,会导致检测失效。
总的来说,通过在多个不同波长光线的条件下,可以更加精确的判断出是否达到研磨要求,从而能够提升研磨时的效率和精准度。
另外,在实际应用时,化学机械研磨设备中还可以配合其他类型的检测装置对待检测样品01进行检测,从而提升检测精度和适用范围。
例如,如图17所示。可以通过涡流传感器80对待检测样品01进行检测。其中,涡流传感器80能够对待检测样品01实现非接触性检测,且具有高线性度和高分辨力等特点。通过测量待检测样品01表面(如下表面)与探头之间的相对位移变化,便可实现有效检测。
在实际应用时,涡流传感器80需要安装在透明视窗70的下侧,因此,需要足够的安装位置。
在本申请实施例提供的实施例中,由于光源10a和光源10b之间可以存在一定距离, 因此,可以为涡流传感器80提供足够的安装位置,能实现安装空间的有效兼容。概括来说,涡流传感器80的投影可以位于相邻的两个光源10(如光源10a和光源10b)之间,且不会对光线构成阻挡。当光源10的设置数量为三个或者三个以上时,多个光源10可以并列设置。在任意两个相邻的光源10之间可以保持一定的间隔,从而可以为涡流传感器80提供足够的安装位置。
以上,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
