Detailed Description
As described in the background art, the existing target pattern correction method is adopted for photoetching, and the formed pattern has poor size uniformity.
Fig. 1 to 2 are schematic structural diagrams of steps of a method for correcting a target pattern.
Referring to fig. 1, a target pattern 100 is provided.
Referring to fig. 2, the target pattern 100 is compensated and corrected according to the etching deviation to obtain a compensated pattern 110, wherein the etching deviation has a calculation formula as follows:
ΔCDetching bias=CDADI-CDAEI
In the above method, the CD ADI refers to the feature size of the obtained lithographic pattern after performing the exposure process and the development process on the target pattern 100 that is not compensated and corrected. The CD AEI refers to the feature size of the etched pattern obtained after the etching process is performed on the target pattern 100 that is not compensated and corrected. By the calculation formula of the etching deviation:
ΔCDetching bias=CDADI-CDAEI;
and compensating and correcting the target pattern 100 according to the delta CD etching bias to obtain a compensation pattern 110, so that errors caused in the subsequent etching process can be reduced, and the etching pattern obtained after the exposure process, the development process and the etching process are performed by using the compensation pattern 110 can be close to the target pattern.
However, the etching process is susceptible to pattern sparseness. The pattern density difference at the end of the target pattern 100 is large, and the etching load effect (etch loading effect) is easily generated, resulting in a large difference in the dimensions of the end and the center of the formed etching pattern. Since Δcd etching bias obtained by the calculation formula of the etching deviation is single, the compensation correction performed on the target pattern 100 is also single, and the more accurate compensation correction cannot be performed on each specific position in the target pattern 100, so that the uniformity of the dimension of the obtained etching pattern is still poor.
In order to solve the technical problems, the embodiment of the invention provides a target graph correction method, which comprises the steps of providing a target graph, enabling the target graph to extend along a first direction, dividing the target graph into a first central area and two first edge areas which are respectively positioned at two sides of the first central area, dividing the edge of the target graph of each first edge area into a plurality of edges to be compensated, obtaining an etching offset model, and respectively carrying out first compensation correction on each edge to be compensated according to the etching offset model to obtain a first compensation edge.
