Description

Transverse resolution enhancement method based on inclined white light scanning interference
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of precise measurement of semiconductor technology, and particularly relates to a transverse resolution enhancement method based on inclined white light scanning interference.
Background
The submicron measurement precision of interferometry meets the high-precision requirement of the precision manufacturing industry represented by the integrated circuit industry for the micro-morphology size. In a white light interferometry system, continuous and broad spectrum light is emitted by a light source to form low coherence fringes with localized characteristics, and measurement and calculation of surface height morphology are realized by using a series of interference images with known reference optical paths. Compared with the full coherence measurement of monochromatic light, when the measurement object is of a stepped structure outside a half wavelength range, the white light interferometry has the characteristics of no phase limitation and high accuracy. At present, the white light scanning interferometry has detection potential in the aspect of detecting the defect of high variation of the surface of the non-pattern wafer due to the sub-nanometer longitudinal measurement precision.
White light interferometry can be classified into white light scanning interferometry, white light phase-shifting interferometry, and white light achromatic phase-shifting interferometry, depending on the differences in the specific measurement principles. For Michelson, mirau, and Linnik interferometry configurations in white light scanning interferometry, these systems can all maintain relative independence from lateral resolution in terms of longitudinal measurement accuracy. With the development of advanced processes in the semiconductor industry, breaking the diffraction limit becomes one of the bottlenecks of optical measurement technology. Critical lateral dimensions such as linewidth measurement and overlay errors in chip fabrication place higher demands on optical interference techniques. White light scanning interferometry systems perform well in the measurement of lateral dimensions, subject to the spectral range and objective numerical aperture of low coherence imaging systems.
From the relativity of transverse and longitudinal definition, the transverse resolution can be converted into the longitudinal resolution by model parameters under the basis of certain feasibility. The inclined white light scanning measurement system has an included angle between the optical axis and the vertical direction of the sample to be measured, and this provides a high-precision difference value for the original horizontal transverse dimension in the height information. While conventional oblique white light scanning systems are commonly used to expand the field of view and scanning efficiency of measurement systems, the present invention contemplates that the angle tilt provides a rise space for the measurement resolution of the lateral dimension. Therefore, the research of the lateral resolution enhancement of the white light interference can be carried out, the application scene of the white light interference in the precision manufacturing industry can be expanded, and the higher precision of the reconstruction of the submicron-level periodic array and the three-dimensional structure difficult to measure by the traditional interferometry is realized.

White light scanning interferometry systems perform well in the measurement of lateral dimensions, subject to the spectral range and objective numerical aperture of low coherence imaging systems. In order to solve the development problem in the background technology, the invention mainly embodies a transverse resolution enhancement method based on oblique white light scanning interference. Aiming at improving the sub-micron precision of the lateral direction of the white light interferometry technology to a higher level. In general, there is some similarity to the geometric model build in case of a step-like structure tilt. Specifically, the rectangular convex grating type step structure is selected for analysis, so that the accurate measurement and calculation of the transverse dimension can be realized, and the traditional transverse dimension measurement precision is broken through.
As shown in the method flow in fig. 1. Specifically, a rectangular grating step structure common in the integrated circuit industry is selected for vertical scanning measurement of the Mirau white light interferometer. In a white light interferometry system, light emitted by a broad spectrum light source enters a light path, and beam splitting is achieved under the action of a spectroscope. The position of a reference surface of an interference light path is controlled by a precision displacement mechanism, so that an optical path difference is formed to obtain a coherent light beam, and the coherent light beam enters a CCD camera to collect white light interference fringes after the effect of an objective lens. And carrying out relative height solution on N frames of light intensity image information acquired in the vertical scanning process, and placing the result in a height information matrix H under the same picture position coordinates. The conversion of the light intensity image 1 into the height information matrix 2 is accomplished as shown in fig. 2.
At this time, the height information matrix 2 is analyzed, and the rough division of the region i and the region ii may be performed by the height information matrix 2 having different gradation values. In the optical measurement system, when the distance between two points is smaller than a certain limit, the imaging system cannot accurately separate the information between the two points. When reflected on the left and right sides of the step-like height jump, i.e. a relatively high height measurement does not necessarily represent that the pixel point is the lateral coordinate position of the actual step of the step-like structure.
Based on this, as shown in fig. 3, the total variance calculation is performed on the height information elements in the region i and the region ii to reliably divide the regions i and ii. Wherein, according to the designation in fig. 3, the elements in region i and region ii should satisfy the following formulas, respectively:
Wherein M, N and S, T are the row-column dimensions contained in the matrices in region I and region II, H (i+m, j+n) and H (x+s, y+t) correspond to the height elements in region I and region II, AndThe mean values of the height elements in the corresponding areas I and II, respectively, epsilon and sigma b are artificially set variance thresholds. And adjusting the area according to the total variance value in the area I and the area II. It should be noted that the area i should control the number of included height information matrix elements under the condition that the variance threshold epsilon is satisfied, and the area ii contains edge information of the step structure. Furthermore, this method requires that the two divided regions be as adjacent as possible to avoid the influence of a single pixel-level bump structure in the middle region.
At this time, the areas I and II are divided to monitor the change of the height information within the range. As shown in fig. 4, when a single stepped rectangular grating structure 3 is tilted as shown by the platform 10 toward the platform tilt state 9, its white light interferometry signal 4 will correspond to being varied in accordance with the interferometry signal 14. Correspondingly, in the height information matrix 11 in the case of tilting observed by the interferometer 8, the edge information contained in the region ii 7 is shifted toward the region ii 5.
Further as shown in fig. 5, the object to be measured is rotated around a certain axis within the camera acquisition range, and the variance increase level of the height information matrix in the near rotation axis region 14 is low. While the change will be a jump in the height information matrix element portion of 15 in area i. Whereas the variance of the height information matrix elements of 16 in region ii shows a decreasing trend. When the overall variance of the elements of the height matrix measured by the white light vertical scan in region I is greater than σ 1:
The object edge point a 1 detected during the monitoring process in the area i can be considered, and the inclination angle of the object carrying platform at this time is denoted as θ 1.
At this time, as shown in fig. 5 (b), for the horizontal lateral dimension of the segment L AB of the object to be measured, the following formula should be satisfied during the rotation of the controllable angle θ:
wherein epsilon θ is a levelness determined according to the manufacturing process of the object to be measured. The left side inequality represents that exceeding the set threshold results in the measurement point falling on a higher object surface topography, and the right side inequality represents that exceeding the set threshold results in the measurement point falling on a lower object surface topography.
The continuous tilting of the platform is then continued by the experimenter until the right edge point B 2 of the stepped structure comes within the monitoring range of zone i. Unlike the change caused by point a 1, the overall variance in region i caused by B 2 does not fluctuate much. In this case, it is considered that the right boundary point of the transverse dimension is detected in the region i when the ratio of the measured point data having a measured height lower than the theoretical height reaches a certain ratio. The specific formula can be expressed as:
Where || represents the number of collection elements and Rate θ is the set proportional threshold. The formula expresses the dynamic information of the edge B 2 into the height information matrix area i. And acquiring the inclination angle of the carrying platform at the moment of theta 2 at the same moment when the threshold value is exceeded.
Further, in the triangle Δa 1B1B2 shown in fig. 6, the length of a 1B2 is also required to obtain the quantity a 1B1 to be solved. And h 1 and h 2 are included in the height information matrix corresponding to the inclination angles θ 1 and θ 2. The value can be taken according to the following formula:
and dividing the height information in the region I into two types according to the average value, and obtaining accurate longitudinal measurement data of white light vertical scanning interference corresponding to the edge points A 1 and B 2 according to the formula.
Next, Δa 1B1B2 is analyzed, and as shown in fig. 6 (b), L θ has, according to the geometric relationship:
according to the triangle cosine law:
The form of the lateral dimension deltax solution is:
Δx=f(θ12,h1,h2)
It can be seen that the magnitude of Δx is calculated by combining the height information measured by white light interferometry with the angle control of the carrying platform. The formula utilizes the relative independence of the transverse resolution and the longitudinal resolution, and bypasses the conventional solving method of directly acquiring and solving the transverse size information by the CCD camera. Therefore, higher resolution of the interference image acquired by the interference objective can be realized in terms of accuracy by means of the accuracy of the longitudinal measurement result. And the formula shows that deltax is closely related to the angular control accuracy, which gives the possibility of deeper applications for oblique white light interferometry.
The invention is directed to specific application objects and scenarios, for example, the integrated circuit industry may be replaced with other component critical dimension measurements in the micro-fabrication industry, etc.; rectangular grating structures in the integrated circuit industry can also be used for changing the object into the measurement of the transverse dimension of the concave groove and the like under the adjustment of the same principle of the method; the tilting mode of the carrying platform can be replaced by other mechanical structures with the same purpose, and the like.
The present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily understood by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present application are intended to be included in the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
