The present disclosure relates to a three-dimensional circuit pattern inspection method, computer program product and a corresponding semiconductor inspection device of an inspection volume at an inspection site of a semiconductor wafer. The present disclosure relates to a method, computer program product and a corresponding semiconductor inspection device for determining parameters of 3D objects such as HAR structures in the inspection volume of a semiconductor wafer with increased precision and accuracy. The method can employ milling and imaging of a plurality of cross-sections surfaces in an inspection volume and determining inspection parameters of the 3D objects from the cross-section surface images with relatively high accuracy and relatively high robustness. A method, computer program product and device can be used for quantitative metrology, defect detection, process monitoring, defect review, and/or inspection of integrated circuits within semiconductor wafers.
Semiconductor structures are amongst the finest man-made structures and suffer from only very few imperfections. These rare imperfections are the signatures which defect detection or defect review or quantitative metrology devices are looking for. Fabricated semiconductor structures are often based on prior knowledge, for example from design data and fabricated from a limited number of materials and processes. Furthermore, the semiconductor structures are generally manufactured in a sequence of layers being parallel to the surface of a silicon wafer substrate. For example, in a logic type sample, metal lines are running parallel in metal layers and HAR (high aspect ratio) structures and vias can run perpendicular to the metal layers. The angle between metal lines in different layers is commonly either 0° or 90°. On the other hand, for VNAND type structures it is known that their cross-sections can be circular on average and arranged in a regular raster perpendicular to the surface of a silicon wafer. During manufacturing, a huge number of three-dimensional semiconductor structures is typically generated in a wafer, wherein the fabrication process is subject to several influences. Generally, the edge shapes, areas or overlay positions of semiconductor structures may be subject to the property of involved materials, the lithography exposure, or any other involved manufacturing step, such as etching, polishing, deposition, or implantation.
In the fabrication of integrated circuits, the features size is becoming smaller. The current minimum feature size or critical dimension is below 10 nanometers (nm), for example 7 nm or 5 nm, and approaching below 3 nm in near future. Therefore, measuring edge shapes of patterns, and to determine the dimensions of structures or the line edge roughness with high precision can become challenging. The measurement resolution of charged particle systems is typically limited by the sampling raster of individual image points or dwell times per pixel on the sample, and the charged particle beam diameter. The sampling raster resolution can be set within the imaging system and can be adapted to the charged particle beam diameter on the sample. The typical raster resolution is 2 nm or below, but the raster resolution limit can be reduced with no physical limitation. The charged particle beam diameter generally has a limited dimension, which depends on the selected type of charged particle, the charged particle beam operation conditions and charged particle lens system utilized. The beam resolution is generally limited by approximately half of the beam diameter. The resolution can be below 3 nm, for example below 2 nm, or even below 1 nm.
With the features sizes of integrated semiconductor circuits becoming smaller, and with the increasing desired resolution of charged particle imaging systems, the inspection and 3D analysis of three-dimensional integrated semiconductor structures in wafers can become more and more challenging. A semiconductor wafer has a diameter of 300 mm and includes a plurality of several sites, so called dies, each comprising at least one integrated circuit pattern such as for example for a memory chip or for a processor chip. Semiconductor wafers typically run through about 1000 process steps, and within the semiconductor wafer, about 100 and more parallel layers are formed, comprising the transistor layers, the layers of the middle of the line, and the interconnect layers and, in memory devices, a plurality of 3D arrays of memory cells.
A common way to generate 3D tomographic data from semiconductor samples on nm scale is the so-called slice and image approach performed for example by a dual beam device. A slice and image approach is described in WO 2020/244795 A1. According to the method of the WO 2020/244795 A1, a 3D volume inspection is obtained at an inspection sample extracted from a semiconductor wafer. In this method, a wafer is destroyed to obtain an inspection sample. This can be addressed by utilizing the slice and image method under a slanted angle into the surface of a semiconductor wafer, as described in WO 2021/180600 A1. According to this method, at least a first inspection site is determined, and 3D volume image of an inspection volume is obtained by slicing and imaging a plurality of cross-section surfaces of the inspection volume. In a first example for a precise measurement, a large number N of cross-section surfaces of the inspection volume is generated, with the number N exceeding 100 or even more image slices. For example, in a volume with a lateral dimension of 5 μm and a slicing distance of 5 nm, 1000 slices are milled and imaged. For the alignment and registration of the cross-section image slices, a plurality of different methods has been proposed. For example, reference marks or so-called fiducials can be employed, or a feature-based alignment can be employed. However, according to recent desired properties and in many application examples, these methods turned out to leave wanting further improvements of the alignment and registration of the plurality of cross-section images slices.
According to several inspection tasks, a full 3D volume image with higher accuracy is used. In some application examples, certain semiconductor features offer a low imaging contrast and a proper computation of a depth map or an alignment via such features is not possible. In an example, the task of the inspection is to determine a set of specific parameters of semiconductor objects such as high aspect ratio (HAR)—structures inside the inspection volume with high precision. In some cases, however, methods described in WO 2021/180600 A1 may not provide sufficient information for the determination of a set of parameters of complex semiconductor structures. It has also been observed that in some examples the methods according to WO 2021/180600 A1 can generate measurement artefacts.
The disclosure seeks to provide improved methods. The disclosure seeks to provide a wafer inspection method for the inspection of three-dimensional semiconductor structures in inspection volumes with higher accuracy and higher robustness. The disclosure seeks to provide a relatively fast and relatively reliable measurement method of a set of parameters describing three-dimensional semiconductor structures in an inspection volume with relatively high precision even if the depth map generation according second semiconductor structures of know depth are not present or only hardly detectable.
The disclosure provides a system and method configured for milling and imaging of a plurality of cross-sections surfaces in an inspection volume and determining inspection parameters of the 3D objects from the plurality of cross-section surface images. The disclosure provides a device and a method for 3D inspection of an inspection volume in a wafer and for the determination of a set of parameters of semiconductor features inside of the inspection volume with high accuracy and robustness. The disclosure provides a method and device that can be utilized for quantitative metrology, defect detection, process monitoring, defect review, and inspection of integrated circuits within semiconductor wafers.
According to an aspect of the disclosure, a method for generating a 3D volume image of an inspection volume in a semiconductor wafer is provided. The method comprises a first step of obtaining a plurality of J cross section image slices by iteratively and subsequently milling and imaging a plurality of cross-section surfaces at a slanted angle GF through the inspection volume. The number J of cross section image slices can be greater than 200, greater than 1000, or greater than 5000. The method further comprises the step of determining a set of N measured cross-section values u1 . . . uN of a group of structures of presumably known depth from the plurality of J cross section image slices. The structures of presumably known depth are for example word lines of connections in selected layers of known depth in the semiconductor wafer. The method comprises a further step of determining, from the set of N measured cross section values u1 . . . uN, a set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW of the group of structures of presumably known depth.
From the set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW, a depth map Zj(x,y) is computed for each of the cross section image slices. A 3D volume image is determined from the plurality of J cross section image slices and the plurality of depth maps Zj(x,y). With the set of W modelled cross-section values, a measurement error or a determination error of the measured cross-section values can be minimized and a computation of the depth maps can be more robust against errors. Furthermore, with the set of W modelled cross-section values, missing depth information from for example low contrast cross section images of the structures of presumably known depth can be interpolated and the depth maps can be determined even with relatively sparse measurement information.
In an example, each of the cross-section values represent an edge position or a center position of one of the structures of presumably known depth. The set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW can by described by a parameter model having a number of R<N parameters, and the R parameters of the set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW can be determined from the set of measured cross-section values v1 . . . vN by least square optimization. The parameter model can be selected according to a-priori information, for example by consideration of expected imaging and milling errors, or by consideration of the expected position of the layers in a semiconductor wafer. In an example, the set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW is described by the addition of a first parameter model S representing a shift error of the lateral positions of the cross-section values of the group of structures of presumably known depth in each of the image slices. The description can further comprise a second parameter model T according to a local error of the milling angle GF of a cross section surface.
In an example, the method further comprises the steps of determining at least a second set of measured cross section values of a group of repetitive three-dimensional structures in the plurality of J cross section image slices, and the step of determining a property of the group of repetitive three-dimensional structures. With the relatively robust determination of the depth maps, property of the group of repetitive three-dimensional structures of interest can be determined with higher accuracy and higher robustness. The second set of measured cross section values can for example represent center positions of cross sections of the group of repetitive three-dimensional structures.
According to an embodiment, a method is provided, according to which a plurality of lateral displacements of the center positions of cross sections of the group of repetitive three-dimensional structures from reference center positions are determined. From the lateral displacements, an average lateral displacement of the center positions is obtained for each cross-section image slice. With the average displacement, the lateral positioning alignment of a plurality of cross section image slices can be improved. Therefore, a high frequency part of the average displacement from cross section image slice to cross section image slice can be filtered out, such that the slowly varying trajectories of repetitive three-dimensional structures are maintained. The trajectories of repetitive three-dimensional structures can thus be measured with higher accuracy.
According to an aspect of the disclosure, an inspection system for generating a 3D volume image of an inspection volume in a semiconductor wafer is provided. The inspection system comprises a wafer support on a wafer stage for receiving a wafer and a dual beam system. The dual beam system comprises a focused ion beam (FIB) arranged at a slanted angle GF with respect a surface of the wafer support and an imaging charged particle beam system arranged at an angle approximately perpendicular to the surface of the wafer support. A control unit with a memory and a processor is configured for executing during use instructions to perform any of the method steps described above. In an example, the inspection system further comprises a precision interferometer for controlling a position of the wafer stage, and a housing for controlling a vacuum condition within the housing, wherein the precision interferometer and the wafer stage are within the housing. Thereby, a 3D volume can be obtained with even higher precision.
The disclosure described by examples and embodiments is not limited to the embodiments and examples but can be implemented by those skilled in the art by various combinations or modifications.
The present disclosure will be even more fully understood with reference to the following drawings:
Throughout the figures and the description, same reference numbers are used to describe same or similar features or components. The coordinate system is selected that the wafer surface 55 coincides with the XY-plane.
Recently, for the investigation of 3D inspection volumes in semiconductor wafers, a slice and imaging method has been proposed, which is applicable to inspection volumes inside a wafer. Thereby, a 3D volume image is generated at an inspection volume inside a wafer in the so called “wedge-cut” approach or wedge-cut geometry, without the need of a removal of a sample from the wafer. The slice- and image method is applied to an inspection volume with dimensions of few μm, for example with a lateral extension of 5 μm to 10 μm or up to 50 μm in wafers with diameters of 200 mm or 300 mm. A V-shaped groove or edge is milled in the top surface of an integrated semiconductor wafer to make accessible a cross-section surface at a slanted angle to the top surface. 3D volume images of inspection volumes are acquired at a limited number of measurement sites, for example representative sites of dies, for example at process control monitors (PCM), or at sites identified by other inspection tools. The slice and image method will destroy the wafer only locally, and other dies may still be used, or the wafer may still be used for further processing. The methods and inspection systems according to the 3D Volume image generation are described in WO 2021/180600 A1, which is fully incorporated herein by reference. The current disclosure seeks to provide an improvement and extension to the methods and inspection systems according to the 3D Volume image generation, where a higher accuracy is involved. The present disclosure seeks to provide an improved method with a unified computational algorithm.
One of the challenges of the slice-and-imaging approach for semiconductor devices is the 3D volume data generation out of the plurality of cross-section image slices. To obtain a high precision or accuracy, each slice not only has to be aligned with respect to a lateral position with respect to a reference position in x- and y-coordinates, but for each slice a depth map Zi(x,y) has to be derived. Furthermore, each slice can show a distortion according to a milling or imaging condition of the slanted cross-section surface in the wafer.
The proposed disclosure is specifically focused on the semiconductor devices consisting of semiconductor-elements with high aspect ratio and/or located in multiple layers inside the device. Manufacturing of such devices strongly relies on the ability to characterize the semiconductor-elements in 3D. The full-scale 3D tomography according to the method and apparatus of the disclosure can provide an improved slice-and-imaging technique and provides the most complete information about the investigated volume of a semiconductor wafer.
A first embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated in
During imaging, a beam of charged particles 44 is scanned by a scanning unit of the charged particle beam imaging system 40 along a scan path over a cross-section surface of the wafer at measurement site 6.1, and secondary particles as well as backscattered particles are generated. Particle detector 17 collects at least some of the secondary particles and/or backscattered particles and communicates the particle count with a control unit 19. Other detectors for other kinds of interaction products such as x-rays or photons may be present as well. Control unit 19 is in control of the charged particle beam imaging column 40, of the FIB column 50 and connected to a control unit 16 to control the position of the wafer mounted on the wafer support table 15 via the wafer stage 155.
Operation control unit 2 communicates with control unit 19, which triggers placement and alignment for example of measurement site 6.1 of the wafer 8 at the intersection point 43 via wafer stage movement and triggers repeatedly operations of FIB milling, image acquisition and stage movements. Control unit 19 and Operation control unit 2 comprises a memory for storing instructions in form of software code and at least one processer to execute during operation the instructions, for example to execute the methods described in the second and third embodiment. A memory is further provided to store digital image data. Operation control unit 2 may further comprise a user interface or an interface to other communication interfaces to receive instructions and to transfer inspection results.
Each new intersection surface is milled by the FIB beam 51, and imaged by the charged particle imaging beam 44, which is for example scanning electron beam or a Helium-Ion-beam of a Helium ion microscope (HIM).
Due to the planar fabrication techniques involved in the fabrication of a wafer, layers as for example layers L1 to L5 are at constant depth over a larger area of a wafer. The depth maps of first cross-section image slices can at least be determined relative the depth of second cross-section images features in the M layers. Further details for the generation of the depth maps Zj(x,y) for the cross-section image slices are described in WO 2021/180600 A1. By feature extraction of the second cross-section image features, such as edge detection or centroid computation and image analysis, and according to the assumption of the same or similar depth of the second cross-section image features, the determination of the lateral position as well as the relative depth of the first cross-section image features in slanted cross-section image slices is therefore possible. However, as will be described below in more details, in some cases there are no second cross-section images features present in the M layers, or they can not be detected in the plurality of cross-section image slices with sufficient accuracy.
A plurality of J cross-section image slices acquired in this manner covers an inspection volume of the wafer 8 at measurement site 6.1 and is used for forming of a 3D volume image of high 3D resolution below for example 10 nm, such as below 5 nm. The inspection volume 160 (see
The operation control unit 2 (see
According to the disclosure, the precision of the 3D volume image data set can be improved.
According to a first embodiment, the disclosure provides a system for volume inspection. The system for volume inspection relies on a position sensor 21, which is utilized as a monitoring system during the milling and imaging process. In prior art, typically position sensors of low accuracy are used and the imaging of fiducials is used for an alignment of the images obtained. Thereby a higher accuracy is achieved even if low-cost position sensors are used. However, in an example of the first embodiment, the high-resolution position sensor 21 is used instead. Such high-resolution position sensors 21 are in principle known, but involve certain measures to the system 1000, for example a precision control unit (not shown) of the vacuum conditions or temperature conditions inside the vacuum compartment or housing 12. According to the example, the stage position is not controlled with the higher accuracy of the position sensor 21. According to the example, the stage position is monitored during milling and imaging with high precision of below few nm, for example 2 nm, 1 nm or even less. Thereby additional information of the lateral and z-positions of cross-section surfaces is obtained. For example, lateral stage drifts, which lead to offset the positions of the structures from image slice to image slice, are monitored and can be considered in the 3D volume image generation. Uncertainties in the z-position from stage drifts or variations can be monitored as well and the actual positions and angles of the cross-section surfaces generated by the FIB can be obtained with higher precision.
However, even with a high precision positions sensor 21, the position of the milling beam 43 and the imaging beam 44 can be deteriorated by system drifts or charging effects of the wafer, or by milling effects (for example curtaining effects). According to the second embodiment, an accurate and robust method of 3D inspection of a group of repetitive, three-dimensional structures in a wafer is given. The method is described in
In step S1, a wafer is loaded on the wafer support table 15 and the wafer coordinates are registered by methods known in the art. A wafer inspection file is loaded by the operation control unit 2 and at least a first inspection site 6.1 of an inspection task is determined. The first inspection site 6.1 at the wafer surface 15 is positioned under the intersection point 43 of the dual beam device 1.
In step S2, a dimension of the inspection volume 160 and a plurality of J cross-section surfaces through the inspection volume 160 is determined. For each cross-section surface, a y-coordinate and optionally a milling angle GF is determined. The plurality of J cross-section surfaces typically comprises cross-section surfaces at the same or similar angle GF and at equal distance d between 2 nm and 10 nm through the inspection volume. In an inspection volume of up to 10 μm, the number J can exceed more than 1000 image slices, for example J=5000 image or more slices.
Depending on the inspection task, further variables can be determined in step S2. For example, a specific parameter model for the group of repetitive, three-dimensional structures of interest can be determined. For example, the inspection task comprises the inspection of a first and a second group of repetitive, three-dimensional structures of interest.
Optionally, in step S2, alignment marks or fiducials are generated close to the inspection site 6.1 for repeated alignment of the inspection site 6.1.
In step S3, the slice and imaging process is performed and the plurality of J cross-section images slices from the plurality of cross section surfaces through the inspection volume 160 is obtained. In a first iterative step S3.1, a cross-section surface is milled by the FIB beam 51 at the predetermined y-position and the predetermined angle GF into the inspection volume 160. In a second iterative step S3.2 the new cross-section surface is imaged by the imaging charged particle beam 44 and a cross-section image slice is obtained and stored in the memory of the control unit 2. Steps 3.1 and 3.2 are repeated until the predetermined series of J cross-section images slices is completed. During both steps, the position of the wafer 8 with respect to the dual beam system 1 is monitored by the position sensor 21 and the actual sensor information is stored together with each of the cross-section image slices.
In step S4, a set of N measured cross-section values u1 . . . uN of a group of structures of presumably known depth is determined. During this determination, cross-section image segments of the structures of presumably known depth are detected in the series of J cross-section image slices by methods know in the art, and the cross-section values v1 . . . vN are determined. A cross-section value vi can be an edge position or a center position.
In step S5, a set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW of the group of structures of presumably known depth is derived. In an example, the number W is larger than the number N of measured cross sections values and missing measurements are interpolated. In an example, the number W is identical to N or even smaller, and measurement inaccuracies are compensated for by averaging, interpolation or filtering. Generally, the set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW is described by a parametrized function with R parameters. In an example, the number of parameters is smaller than the number N of measured cross-section values, with R<N. The R parameters are then derived for example by least square optimization of the set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW to the set of measured cross-section values v1 . . . vN.
In an example, the model comprises a first set of P parameters A1, . . . AP of a first parameter model S(A1, . . . AP) and a second set of Q parameters B1, . . . BQ of a second parameter model T(B1 . . . . BQ). The first parameter model S represents a shift error of the lateral positions of the cross-section values of the second group of structures of presumably known depth in each of the image slice. The second parameter model T represents the lateral position error of the cross-section values of the second group of structures of presumably known depth in one cross-section image slice according to a local error in or of the milling angle GF of a cross-section surface.
The actual parameters A and B are then derived for example by least square optimization to the set of measured cross-section values v1 . . . vN.
In step S6, from the first set of W modelled cross-section values v1 . . . vW of the group of structures of presumably known depth, a depth map Zi(x,y) is computed for each of the plurality of image slices. With the plurality of depth maps Zi(x,y) and the plurality of cross-section image slices, a 3D volume image data set of high accuracy is generated. In step S7, finally the parameters or features of interest of 3D semiconductor structures in the inspection volume are derived. For example, the semiconductor structures of interest are formed by a plurality of repetitive semiconductor structures, such as the HAR structures shown in
The method according to the second embodiment is described in more detail at the example of
The layers 409 are typically parallel to the surface 55 but can show some slowly varying deviation to the surface 55. The cross-section surfaces 301 can show deviations from predetermined milling angles GF, as illustrated at the examples of cross sections surfaces 301.i with angle GF and 301.i+2 with a slightly different slanted angle GF′ with respect to the surface 55. Furthermore, the cross-section surfaces can show a waviness, as illustrated at cross-section 301.i+1. The effect is highly exaggerated in
According to an example, the model edge positions Y of each cross-section image slice of index i can be described by the functional dependency of approximately M*J equations:
Yshift (i) is a term characterizing the shift of the ith cross section surface in Y-direction corresponding to the milling distance d.
α(i) is a scaling term which characterizes the change in the averaged slope of the cross-section surface. Ideally, the difference of edge positions Y in an image slice directly relates to the difference of the depth or z-position between the mth layer and the first layer with m=1 and the milling angle GF
α(i) thus describes a variation to this ideal relation.
According step S5, the functions Yshift (i) and a (i) from Eq. (1) are described by parameter models S and T with a finite number of parameters S=Yshift (i)=Yshift (A1, A2, AP; i), and T=α(i)=α(B1, B2, BQ; i), where P and Q are the corresponding numbers of parameters. Parameter models S and T can for example by polynomials of low order or B-splines.
The system of model equations (1) can thus be written as follows:
After extracting and measuring the first set of measured cross-section values v1 . . . vN of the structures of presumably known depth according to Step S4, a first set of N measured cross-section values v1 . . . vN is determined. The N measured cross-section values are corresponding in this example to the edge positions Yn. With the measured cross-section values Yn, equation (5) can be solved for example by least square optimization and the model edge positions Y can be determined within each image slice at every position. The equation system can be solved as long as the number N exceeds the number of parameters L+P+Q with N>=L+P+Q. Even with a lower number N, a best fit approximation can be obtained, for example by using a priori information.
From the model edge positions according equation (5) with the optimized parameters A and B, the depth maps Zi(x,y) for each of the image slices can be computed and the 3D volume image is obtained with high accuracy and robustness.
The 3D volume image data set obtained in step S6 from the plurality of cross-section image slices, with image pixels of known lateral position, and the depth maps Z (x,y), one for each cross-section image slice, such that in addition the z-position for each image pixel is known. The pixel data from the many image pixels can be transformed in a regular 3D raster. From the 3D volume image, whether in a regular 3D raster or not, properties of the structures of interest in the inspection volume can be computed with high accuracy and high robustness. Such structures of interest are typically given by a group of repetitive 3D structures, such as high aspect ratio (HAR)-structures of memory devices.
With the second embodiment of the disclosure, a robust method for the generation a 3D volume images is given, which is insensitive to errors during the milling and imaging process and which enables a wafer inspection without destruction of the wafer. The method can be desirable when the structures of known depth cannot be obtained by the charged particle imaging conditions as desired for a direct determination of the Z-maps of cross-section image slices. In a third embodiment, a method of the generation of a 3D volume image is provided.
In a first step E1, the lateral position of each cross-section of an HAR centroid trajectory with index n perpendicular to the surface 55 of the wafer is described for each image slice 311.j by
with a lateral displacement dxjn, dyjn and with reference position xref, yref of each of the cross-section of index n=1 . . . J. The reference positions xref, yref can for example be the positions of the centroids in an arbitrary reference cross-section image slice.
In a second step C2, the centroid trajectories are analyzed, and a filtering is applied to the lateral displacement dxjn, dyjn. In an example, the high frequency part of the displacements dxjn, dyjn from slice to slice is subtracted. This is for example achieved by computing the average lateral displacement Axj=Averagej(dxjn;n), Ayj=Averagej(dyjn;n) of the cross-section of the HAR structures in each cross-section image slice. It is then assumed that high frequency changes of the average lateral displacement Axj, Ayj are artefacts from the measurement.
In a further example of step E2, the filtering is obtained by fitting a parameter model S2 (C1, C2, . . . ; i) to the average lateral displacement Axj, Ayj of the cross-section centroids with respect to reference positions xref, yref with i=1 . . . . J for the image slices. The parameters of the parameter model represent the real displacements of the centroids of the HAR structures, while high frequency contributions are filtered out by the least square fitting to the parameter model. The parameters C1, C2, . . . can for example describe a linear tilt, a curvature, or a low frequency harmonic function.
The parameter model S2(C1, C2, . . . ; i) of the average lateral displacement Axj, Ayj of the cross-section centroids can be complementary to the parameter model S(A1, A2, . . . AP; i) of the lateral shift of the structures of presumably known depth according to the second embodiment.
In step E3, cross section mage slices are re-aligned according to the low frequency part of the average lateral displacement Axj, Ayj. The high frequency part of the average lateral displacement Axj, Ayj, is subtracted and HAR channel trajectories 309 with only low frequency deviations from slice to slice are obtained. A result is illustrated in
