Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit testing, in particular to a positioning device and a method for detecting hard defect fault points of a semiconductor device.
Background
The integrated circuit is the core of the electronic device, and the reliability of the integrated circuit directly influences the safety and the service life of the device. The failure analysis is used as an important component of an integrated circuit reliability guarantee system and mainly comprises the following processes: failure mode verification, fault point positioning, fault physical characteristic analysis and cause analysis. The fault point positioning refers to accurately positioning a failed component or a failure point position from tens of thousands of components in an integrated circuit through a series of technologies and methods, plays a decisive role in the whole failure analysis process, and is in the core position.
The localization techniques employed in hard defect fault location procedures can be generally summarized in two categories: dynamic positioning techniques and static positioning techniques. Two dynamic positioning techniques are proposed (U.S. Pat. No. US7616312B2, applied and method for combining integrated circuits using laser drilling): laser Voltage Probing (LVP) and Laser Voltage Imaging (LVI) technologies, which can perform a functionality test on an internal MOS transistor or node of an integrated circuit from the back side of the integrated circuit in a non-contact manner. The basic principle of the LVP and LVI is a free carrier refraction effect in a semiconductor device, a chip is in a dynamic working mode in a positioning process, laser passes through a silicon substrate on the back of the chip and is focused in an active region, and the change of the carrier concentration in the chip causes the change of the refractive index of a semiconductor material so as to change the phase of incident laser. Laser is reflected by metal wiring on the front surface of the chip, phase change of reflected light is converted into light intensity change through an interference means, reflected light signals are analyzed from a time domain and a frequency domain respectively through the LVP and the LVI, and the two means are complementary, so that the position of a fault point is positioned. However, since the laser is also reflected at the interface between the silicon substrate and the air on the back of the device under test, the interference signal at this interface is added to the laser phase modulation interference signal caused by the free carrier refraction effect, which results in the decrease of the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection signal. Meanwhile, the optical path of the laser is also very easily affected by the thickness change of the semiconductor material caused by air vibration and temperature change, so that the fluctuation of interference signals is caused, and the accurate positioning of fault positions is not facilitated.
The common technique in the static positioning technology is an Optical Induced Resistance Change technology (OBIRCH), the basic principle of the OBIRCH is the thermal effect of laser, the fault point positioning process only needs to supply power to two ends of a power supply of a device to be tested, and the device to be tested does not need to operate. When the laser heats the fault area, the resistance of the fault area is changed, so that the current of the power supply end of the tested device is changed by delta I, and the position of the fault point is positioned by analyzing the current change delta I. However, the maximum range of the current amplifier in the OBIRCH is usually mA at present, and in some fault modes, the signal of the OBIRCH will be distorted, which affects the accuracy of fault point positioning. Meanwhile, the current change delta I value of some small fault point areas in the device is small when the laser is heated, the delta I is submerged in noise current, even if a current amplifier exists in the OBIRCH device, the noise current and the current change delta I can be simultaneously amplified by the current amplifier, the delta I cannot be extracted from noise, and the fault point positioning fails.
In addition, in the existing semiconductor device hard defect fault point positioning device, the LVP and LVI are usually integrated together as a single semiconductor device dynamic hard defect fault point positioning device. Since the existing OBIRCH optical path is distinct from the optical paths of the LVP and LVI, the OBIRCH can only be used as a single semiconductor device static hard defect fault point locating device, and there is no device which can integrate the LVP, LVI and OBIRCH together to realize the complementary locating of semiconductor device dynamic and static hard defect fault points to cope with most semiconductor device hard defect failure modes.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the defects of the conventional semiconductor device hard defect fault point positioning device, and provides a novel optical path, so that the semiconductor device hard defect fault point positioning device with three functions of LVP, LVI and OBIRCH can be realized based on the optical path, and the complementation of the dynamic and static semiconductor device hard defect fault point positioning is realized. The basic principle of LVP and LVI in the device is the free carrier absorption effect in the semiconductor device, incoherent focusing is carried out on the active region of the device to be tested, the position of a fault point is positioned by directly detecting the intensity change of reflected light without an interference means, so that the influence of reflected light interference at the silicon substrate and air interface and optical path change caused by external disturbance on signal detection in the existing positioning means is eliminated, and the accuracy of positioning the hard defect fault point is improved.
The invention also introduces a frequency domain analysis technology into the OBIRCH, and extracts the current signal submerged in the noise through frequency domain analysis. The emergent light intensity of the laser light source in the device is periodically modulated, and the modulated laser light can cause the current of the power supply end of the tested device to periodically change when heating the defect point. The series resistance on the power supply line of the device under test converts this periodic current change into a voltage change across the resistance. The voltage signals at two ends of the series resistor are subjected to Fourier transform, and the noise voltage signal and the useful signal voltage are separated in a frequency domain to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, so that the signal submerged in the noise is extracted, and the accuracy of the positioning of the OBIRCH hard defect fault point is improved. In addition, the series resistor can reduce the current in the power supply circuit, so that the current in the circuit is not too large to generate signal distortion.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor device hard defect fault point locating device according to an embodiment of the invention. The light source is an incoherent light source 1, such as a superluminescent light emitting diode, providing incoherent light required by the system. The wavelength of the incoherent light source 1 is a non-invasive wavelength > 1100 nm. The light emitted by the incoherent light source 1 is transmitted to the modulation module 2 through a free space optical path/polarization maintaining optical fiber, and the modulation module 2 is controlled by the control computer 13. When using LVP and LVI for dynamic fault point positioning, the modulation module 2 does not work and light directly penetrates the modulation module 2 to reach the optical module 3. When using OBIRCH to locate static fault points, the control computer 13 controls the modulation module 2 to modulate the light input by the incoherent light source 1 into a light output with a light intensity varying at a certain frequency with a duty cycle of 50%. The light output by the modulation module 2 is transmitted to the optical module 3 through a free space optical path/polarization maintaining optical fiber. The optical module 3 comprises a transform imaging system and a polarization beam splitter prism controller. The transform imaging system is used for regulating incident light and focusing the light on an active area of the device under test 5 while infrared imaging is performed on the internal layout of the device under test 5. The focusing of the light in the system is achieved by means of an objective 4, which may be chosen as an air gap lens, a liquid immersion lens or a solid immersion lens. The polarizing beam splitter prism controller is controlled by the control computer 13, and when we use the OBIRCH function of the system, the polarizing beam splitter prism controller moves the polarizing beam splitter prism out of the optical path, at which time no more light will enter the photodetector 9. When we use the LVP and LVI functionality of the system, the polarizing beam splitter prism controller moves the polarizing beam splitter prism into the optical path, and the light reflected back from the device under test 5 is totally reflected by the polarizing beam splitter prism through the free optical path/fiber to the photodetector 9, which can be any conventional photodetector, such as a PIN diode, Avalanche Photodiode (APD), etc. An amplifier 10 (e.g., a transimpedance amplifier) amplifies the input signal from photodetector 9 while sending its output signal to a dc-blocker 11. dc-blocker 11 can isolate unwanted large dc background components in the signal and output only an ac signal to a signal extractor 12.

There are two modes of operation in the apparatus of fig. 1: a dynamic hard defect fault location mode and a static hard defect fault location mode. When the dynamic hard defect fault point positioning mode is used, the LVI and LVP functions of the system are used, and the OBIRCH function is not used. When the dynamic hard defect fault point is positioned, the LVI is firstly used for determining the position and the intensity distribution of a specific frequency point.

Tester 7 sends periodic drive signals to repeatedly drive device under test 5, and tester 7 does not send clock signals to signal extractor 12 in LVI mode. The signal extractor 12 is directly controlled by the control computer 13, and a spectrum analyzer is used at the signal extractor 12 in the LVI mode, and the response frequency of the spectrum analyzer is set to the same frequency as the drive signal of the device under test 5.

After the scanning is completed, the control computer 13 generates a driving signal frequency intensity distribution map of the device under test 5 based on the frequency signal intensity information and the coordinate information at each coordinate point. The control computer 13 then superimposes the ir microscopic image of the entire device under test 5 with the frequency intensity distribution map to generate a specific operating frequency intensity distribution map for the device under test 5. The frequency intensity distribution diagram obtained by testing comprises layout information of the device, and signal intensity and coordinate position information of a specific working frequency corresponding to each point in the layout.
After obtaining the specific operating frequency intensity distribution map of the device under test 5, the LVP function of the system analyzes the time domain waveform of each frequency point to further determine the location of the defect point in the device under test 5. The control computer 13 controls the three-dimensional mobile station 6 to move the device under test 5 so as to focus light to a signal detection target area, the test machine 7 sends a periodic driving signal to repeatedly drive the device under test 5, and simultaneously sends a clock signal to the signal extractor 12 for synchronizing the signal extractor 12, in the mode, the signal extractor 12 uses an oscilloscope, and the oscilloscope performs multiple times of average noise elimination on the acquired waveform to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The waveform signal output by the oscilloscope is sent to the control computer 13, and the operator accurately positions the fault point position in the device under test 5 by analyzing the waveform.
When using the static hard defect fault location mode, only the OBIRCH function of the system is used.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of dynamic hard defect fault location with incoherent light focused on the active area through the silicon substrate on the backside of the device under test 5, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Light from an incoherent light source 1 in fig. 1 is focused on an active area of a device under test 5 through an optical module 3 and an objective lens 4, the free carrier absorption effect of the active area periodically modulates the intensity of incident laser light under the action of a periodic driving signal of the device under test 5, the modulated laser light is reflected by a metal wiring layer on the front surface of a chip and returns, and the reflected light sequentially passes through the objective lens 4 and the optical module 3. The reflected light is totally reflected in the optical module 3 to the photodetector 9, and the photodetector 9 outputs an electric signal whose intensity varies periodically, i.e., an LVP/LVI signal.
FIG. 3 is a view according to the present inventionAccording to the static hard defect fault point positioning schematic diagram of the embodiment of the invention, incoherent light is focused on a metal interconnection layer through a silicon substrate on the back of a tested device 5. Incoherent light from an incoherent light source 1 in fig. 1 is modulated into light with light intensity periodically changing at a certain frequency by a modulation module 2, the light is focused on a metal interconnection layer of a device under test 5 through an optical module 3 and an objective lens 4, and partial energy of the light at the focused point is converted into heat. If there are defects or voids in the metal interconnect lines, the heat conduction near these areas will be different from other intact areas, causing local temperature changes and thus resistance value changes Δ R. Constant voltage source 8 applies constant voltage V to the interconnection line, and current change caused by laser heating
Due to the resistance R1Connected in series to the supply circuit of the constant voltage source 8, so that the resistor R1Voltage change at both ends

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an optical path according to an embodiment of the invention. For convenience of introducing the whole optical path principle, we describe the optical path system from two aspects of dynamic hard defect fault point positioning and static hard defect fault point positioning respectively. When the device is in the dynamic hard defect fault point positioning modes, namely LVI and LVP, the incoherent light emitted by the incoherent light source 1 is totally transmitted when passing through the optical chopper (the modulation module 2 in FIG. 1), and the optical chopper does not work. The incoherent light then passes through an optical isolator (eliminating optical feedback, improving signal-to-noise ratio) to a first polarizing beam splitting prism. A portion of the light at the first polarizing beam splitter prism is reflected into an optical power meter for monitoring the output optical power of the incoherent light source 1, and the remaining light passes through a spatial filtering system. The spatial filtering system consists of a lens 1, a pinhole diaphragm and a lens 2, wherein the pinhole diaphragm is positioned at the focus of the lens 1 and the lens 2, and the system can be used for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a received signal and reducing the size of a light spot. The light emitted from the spatial filter system is transmitted completely when passing through the second polarization beam splitter prism (controlled by the polarization beam splitter prism controller in fig. 1), and the faraday rotator rotates the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light by 45 degrees, passes through the half-transmitting and half-reflecting mirror and the objective lens, and passes through the silicon substrate on the back of the device to be tested to be focused on the active region in the silicon substrate. The modulated light is reflected by a metal wiring reflection original path on the front surface of the tested device, passes through an objective lens, a half-mirror and a Faraday optical rotator, then is changed into linearly polarized light vertical to the polarization state of incident linearly polarized light, is totally reflected at a second polarization beam splitter prism, and reaches a photoelectric detector (namely a photoelectric detector 9 in figure 1) through a focusing lens to detect the phase change of the light reflected from the tested device, so that the frequency signal characteristic and the time domain transmission waveform in the tested device are determined, and the position of a hard defect fault point is positioned.
When the device is in a static hard defect fault point positioning mode, namely OBIRCH, incoherent light emitted by the incoherent light source 1 is modulated into light with light intensity periodically changing at a certain frequency when passing through the optical chopper, and the modulated light passes through the optical isolator (light feedback is eliminated, and stable output of the light power of the incoherent light source 1 is ensured) and reaches the first polarization beam splitter prism. A portion of the light is then reflected to an optical power meter whose output is used to monitor the optical power, with the remainder passing through a spatial filtering system. Because the second polarization beam splitter prism moves out of the optical path when the OBIRCH is operated, light emitted from the spatial filtering system directly reaches the Faraday rotator, then passes through the half-mirror and the objective lens, passes through the silicon substrate on the back of the device to be tested and is focused on the metal interconnection layer, partial energy of laser at the focal point is converted into heat, the resistance change of the defect position is caused, the static working current of the device is changed, and therefore the position of the hard defect fault point is determined.
Fig. 4 also includes an imaging element for performing infrared microscopic imaging on the internal layout of the device under test, including an infrared illumination light source for generating infrared imaging light required for imaging, wherein the light emitted by the infrared illumination light source passes through the beam splitter, the half mirror and the objective lens, and passes through the silicon substrate on the back of the device under test to be focused inside the silicon substrate. The illumination light is reflected by the metal wiring on the front surface of the device to be tested, and reaches the infrared camera through the objective lens, the half-transmitting and half-reflecting mirror, the beam splitter and the imaging lens to form an infrared microscopic image in the device to be tested.
The device integrates the LVP, the LVI and the OBIRCH together to realize the complementation of the positioning of the dynamic and static hard defect fault points of the semiconductor device, and simultaneously improves the positioning precision of the hard defect fault points of the semiconductor device by the optimized design of the LVP, the LVI and the OBIRCH.
