The automatic operation method, in particular, the technology of APC (Advanced Process Control) technology which is effectively applied to the manufacturing process of a plurality of small-scale semiconductor devices. [Prior Art] A, /.

However, in most cases, it is necessary to set the conditions (programs) of the virtual wafers and the processing conditions of the product wafers.

In the automatic operation method of the CMP apparatus of the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, there is a difference between the film thickness data before honing and the film thickness data after honing, and the actual The method of setting the honing rate to the CMP device by calculating the latest honing rate by the main computer of the factory as the best program (for example, 'Reference Patent Document 1). (2) 1277149 In addition, there are The feed method determines the condition of the film thickness after CMP for the subsequent etching treatment (for example, refer to Patent Document 2). In addition, there is a light for the honed wafer m, by light - a method of measuring the film thickness of the wafer and sending the measurement result back to the control unit to set the honing time of the next wafer (for example Reference Patent Document 3) ° In addition, there is an infrared laser beam that is irradiated to the wafer during honing, and a measurement is performed by measuring the Doppler shift amount of the reflected light. A method of honing the change in film thickness (for example, refer to Patent Document 4). In addition, there is a relatively flat region defined by the reflected light intensity and frequency spectrum of the wafer in CMP to define that it is not affected by the pattern of the device. A method of measuring the film thickness of a wafer with high precision (for example, refer to Patent Document 5). In addition, there is a difference between the film thickness data before the honing of the input batch and the film thickness data after honing, and the actual flaw. The grinding time is calculated by calculating the latest honing rate as a variation parameter, and matching the program fixed portion and the program variation portion as a preferred program to set the CMP device (for example, 'Reference Patent Document 6). There is a processing wafer processed by a CMP device, and the film thickness is measured. According to the measurement result, the honing time of the body wafer is set to be processed to measure and calculate the residual film thickness to determine the wafer to be honed.

In the automation technology of the CMP apparatus as described above, the results of the review by the inventors have made the following things very difficult. For example, as described above, in the case of considering a virtual wafer as a starting virtual wafer, it is necessary to separately set processing conditions (programs) of the virtual wafer and processing conditions (programs) of the product wafer, originally, To the instruction and control only _....... one... The automation of the processing conditions of the manufactured products has made the processing of virtual wafers a bottleneck. In the CMP (Chemical Mechanical Honing) project, in order to be unmanned, it is necessary to abolish operations prior to product handling. The method of Patent Document 1 is described in the pair of one--one ‘.’ one-one one-one--(4) 1277149. The method described in Patent Document 1 is based on a process before and after CMP, and the device is manufactured with high precision using a host computer. However, in the batch setting „^mm—^一..一——the measuring device has a different location from the honing device, and its handling control becomes complicated. In addition, the processing results are known by measurement, and it takes time to delay the control, and the control accuracy is reduced. In the CMP project where the etch is changed, the responsiveness of the processing is not charged. v. , .................................~~, -1* In addition, the method described in Patent Document 2 is The film thickness after CMP is applied for control, especially for etching engineering, but there is no feedback for CMP or feedback for CVD engineering after CMP. In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device for manufacturing a semiconductor manufacturing project having a high labor ratio, such as a CMP project, and to promote automation, and to reduce the number of people, improve processing power, reduce investment amount, and improve indirect business efficiency.

等中,雖期望以搭載在CVD裝置之膜厚測量裝置就每一 晶圓所測量的膜厚資料,但是,也可爲批次內之1片以上 的晶圓的測量値。 另外,還由CMP裝置1 1所傳送之膜厚資料,主電腦 1 9前饋式的決定產品晶圓3 1之下一工程(蝕刻、C V D 等)的處理條件。藉此,可省略作爲下一工程的前處理之 膜厚測量工程。 例如,在進行如第3 ( a )圖所示之元件分離之 STI(Shall〇w Trench

In the embodiment, a flow chart of an example of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device will be described. First, an example of a structure and an automatic operation method of an automatic operation system of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus of the present embodiment. For example, it is assumed that the CMP device 1 1 controls the C Μ P device 1 1 device control unit 1 2, and the virtual wafer 埠 1 3 and the product wafer 埠 14 are loaded and loaded. Wafer honing section 1 5, wafer processing The rinsing unit 1 is configured to measure the film thickness of the film formed on the wafer, and is disposed in the clean room. The C Ρ device 1 1 is used in the clean room network. 1 8 and connected to the main computer 19. The main computer 1 9 series management semiconductor manufacturing engineering 'preservation of product wafer-14- (11) 1277149 product wafer processing program 2 4, each product · engineering parameters 2 5 In the main computer 19, the honing time Ι(Ι) of the product wafer of the CMP device 1 can be calculated from the parameters of each product and engineering, etc. The calculated honing time Ι(Ι) is The processing program 24 of the product wafer is taken in. Further, by downloading the processing program 24 of the product wafer from the host computer 19 to the CMP device 1, the CMP device 1 1 can be automatically operated. The network 18 in the clean room is connected to the terminal 20, and the terminals 22, 23, etc. are connected to the network 2 1 in the clean room, and the network 18 in the clean room and the network 2 1 in the clean room are connected to each other. Further, the data stored in the host computer 19 or the CMP device 1 1 can be viewed or edited by the terminals 20, 22, 23 or the like. The CMP processing of the dummy wafer of the CMP apparatus 1 is as follows, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 1, first, the dummy wafer is transferred from the dummy wafer 玮1 to the honing unit 15 in the honing section. In 1 5, after the virtual wafer is honed, it is moved to the rinsing unit 16. In the rinsing unit 16, the dummy wafer is washed and stored in the virtual wafer 埠1 3 steps. . As a pre-processing, the virtual wafer used here is subjected to a film of a honed film to form a X-pass, thereby improving the function as a starting virtual wafer. For example, in the case of honing a metal film in a product wafer, the same metal film or oxide film (SiO 2 film, etc.) is applied as a pre-treatment, and in the case where the product is honed, the pre-treatment is the same. An oxide film (Si 02 film, etc.) is applied to the surface. Next, the CMP process of the product wafer has: transferring the product wafer to the honing part 15 by the product wafer ,1 4, honing the product wafer in the honing part 15 and transferring it to the 淸Washing unit 1 6 in the rinsing unit 16 -15- (12) 1277149 After the product wafer is rinsed, it is transferred to the film thickness measuring device 17 and is measured in the film thickness measuring device 17 After the film thickness of the film on the circle is stored, it is stored in each step of the product wafer. The measurement data of the film thickness and the processing data of the device are regarded as the end data 26, which is sent to the host computer 19 by the CMP device i1. Next, an example of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described CMP process and an automatic operation method of the semiconductor device in the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 6 . The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and the method for automatically operating the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment have the following steps in the CMP process. As shown in Fig. 2, the CMP apparatus 1 1 holds the processing program (processing condition) 27 of the virtual wafer in advance, and when the processing program 24 of the product wafer is downloaded from the CMP apparatus 1 1 by the host computer 19, The virtual wafer 28 is automatically processed by the determined processing conditions. The non-product wafer is subjected to CMP processing as the starting virtual wafer or the starting virtual wafer in the wafer processing unit 29 formed by the honing portion 15 and the rinsing portion 16. After the CMP process, the dummy wafer 28 is stored in the wafer storage portion 30. When the processing program 24 of the product wafer is downloaded from the host computer 19 to the CMP apparatus 1, the automation of the semiconductor manufacturing process is facilitated by automatically processing the dummy wafers 28. The virtual wafer 28 is occupied by one of the loading cassettes or is stored in a buffer tank for holding the dummy wafer 28 in the CMP apparatus 11. The device control unit 1 in the CMP device 1 1 processes the number of slices determined by the virtual wafer processing program 27, but performs the equal use of the stored virtual wafers 28 - 16 - (13) 1277149 The scaffolding management of the virtual wafer 28 is processed in sequence. Further, the device control unit 1 2 in the CMP apparatus 1 1 manages the number of uses of the virtual wafer 28 or the cumulative usage amount, and generates an alarm when a specific usage amount (time, number of times, etc.) is reached. When the virtual wafer exceeding the usage amount is stored in the carrier, the main computer is sent out and unloaded, and the virtual wafer exceeding the usage amount is automatically unloaded. After the processing of the virtual wafer 28, the product wafer 31 is subjected to CMP processing in the wafer processing unit 29 in accordance with the processing program 24 of the product wafer downloaded from the self-computer 19. The film thickness of the film formed on the product wafer 31 is measured at least once by the film thickness measuring device 17 mounted on the CMP apparatus 1 1 during or after the honing or rinsing of the product wafer 31 Thickness, film thickness measurement can also be done before honing, but the film thickness has been measured in the previous project, the honing rate can be calculated from the film thickness before honing and the thickness of the honing thickness. Film thickness measurement before honing is not particularly required. After that, after the CMP process of the product wafer 31 is completed, the processing time, the honing time, the honing pressure, the number of revolutions, the amount of the slurry, and the like, and the film thickness of the honing head and the honing pad are used by the CMP apparatus 1 1 . The end data 26 resulting from the measurement data is transmitted to the host computer 1 9 . Then, based on the film thickness measurement data and the processing data transmitted by the CMP device 11 and the parameters of the respective honing layers of the product wafer, the processing conditions such as the honing time of the subsequently processed product wafer are determined in the host computer 19. . As the above, the latest information on the processing conditions is updated by the instant, and instant feedback is possible. As a method of feeding back the latest information to the batch -17-(14) 1277149 to be processed, for example, the honing time pt(i) is determined by the following equation. Honing time PT(I)=f (film thickness before honing (I), film thickness before honing (1-1), film thickness after honing (1-1), film thickness after honing (1-1 ), the use time of the honing pad, the parameters of each product and engineering) In addition, the honing rate RR can be calculated by the following formula. Honing rate RR(I-1) = (film thickness before honing (1-1) - film thickness after honing (I-1)) / film thickness after honing (1-1) In addition, in the above formula Medium, I is the natural number of the processing number. The honing time PT(I) is calculated for each honing head and downloaded to the CMP apparatus 11. In the calculation, the film thickness before honing (I) is a film thickness measurement data such as a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) project before honing. Even in the C VD project of the former engineering, it is desirable to use the film thickness measurement device mounted on the CVD device for the film thickness measurement of each wafer, but it may be one or more wafers in the batch. The measurement 値. In addition, the film thickness data transmitted by the CMP device 1 is used to determine the processing conditions of the underlying process (etching, C V D, etc.) of the product wafer 31 under the feedforward type of the main computer. Thereby, the film thickness measurement project as the pre-processing of the next project can be omitted. For example, in an STI (Shall〇w Trench Isolation) project in which element isolation as shown in FIG. 3(a) is performed, a nitride film 35 is patterned on the germanium substrate 40, and a buried oxide film is formed. 36. After performing C Μ P honing, the etching of the nitride film 35 is performed, and the film thickness measurement data of the C Μ honing measured by the c Μ P device 1 1 can be feedforward- 18· (15) 1277149 Used in the processing of the next etching process (processing conditions (Fig. 3 (b)). In this case, there is no additional film thickness between the C Μ P engineering and the etching process. For measurement engineering, automation can be easily realized. In addition, 'measure all wafers, and determine processing conditions per piece' can be controlled with high precision. In addition, for example, with MOS as shown in Figure 4(a) ( In the planarization process of the interlayer film IL D (I nter 1 ebe 1 D ie 1 etcric) of the metal wiring layer after the metal 0xide semiconductor is formed, the metal oxide semiconductor is formed on the germanium substrate 4 1 Forming an oxide film 43, a polycrystalline stone 4, a source/drain 4, and an oxide film 3 After C Μ P honing 'in the case of forming the oxide film 45 by the CVD mask, the C Μ honing film thickness measurement data transmitted by the CMP device 1 3 is used in the feedforward type. The processing conditions of the next insulating film CVD shield project (Fig. 4(b)). There is no film thickness measurement between the CMP project and the insulating film CVD shield project, so automation can be easily realized. For the wafer, the high-precision control can be performed to determine the processing conditions for each piece. In addition, for example, the metal interlayer film IMD (Inter Metal Dielectric) after the metal wiring is formed as shown in Fig. 5 (a) In the planarization process of dielectric), an oxide film 44 on a germanium substrate, tungsten 49 (plug), barrier layer 48 (Ti + TiN), aluminum 50, barrier layer 47 (Ti + TiN), The oxide film 38 is subjected to CMP honing, and a CVD mask is used to form the oxide film 39. The honed film thickness measurement data 34 transmitted by the CMP device is used in the feedforward type. Insulation film CVD shield engineering processing conditions (Fig. 5(b)). CMP engineering and insulating film CVD protection -19- (16) 12771 49 There is no additional film thickness measurement between the cover projects, so automation can be easily realized. In addition, 'all wafers are measured, and high-precision control can be performed to determine the processing conditions for each piece. The parameters of the feedforward can be edited and confirmed in the terminals 2 2 and 2 3 of the clean room. The indirect business can be efficient and the control precision can be improved. The terminals 22 and 23 for editing and confirming operations outside the clean room are connected to the same or different backbone network as the host computer or CMP device. As a result, the processing load of the network can be dispersed, and processing becomes more responsive. Next, an example of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including the above-described CMP process will be briefly described based on Fig. 6 . The semiconductor device manufactured by the above-described manufacturing method is, for example, an apparatus having an n-channel type MISFET or the like on the main surface of the wafer. After completion of the n-channel type MIS FET, an interlayer insulating film is formed by, for example, depositing a hafnium oxide film on a wafer by a CVD method (step S61). Then, the interlayer insulating film is planarized by honing based on the CMP method (step S 6 2 ). Then, by etching the photoresist film patterned by the lithography method as a mask, a connection hole is provided in the interlayer insulating film on the n-type semiconductor region of the main surface of the wafer (step S63). Then, a barrier film conductor film such as titanium nitride is deposited on the wafer by a sputtering method, and a conductive film such as tungsten is deposited on the barrier layer conductor film by a CVD method (step S64). Then, for example, a CMP method is used to remove the barrier -20-(17) 1277149 layer conductor film and the conductive film on the interlayer insulating film, and the barrier layer conductor film conductive film remains in the connection hole to form a barrier layer. The conductor film and the conductive film are interposed (step S65). Next, a Ti (titanium) film, an alloy film, and a nitride film are sequentially deposited on the wafer from the lower layer to form a conductive film (step S66). Next, a conductive film is formed by using a photoresist film patterned by a lithography method to form a conductive film, thereby forming a semiconductor-made wiring (step S67). Although the invention made by the inventors of the present invention has been specifically described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is needless to say that various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the C Μ P device is suitable is described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be used in other semiconductor manufacturing apparatuses such as a sputtering apparatus and a CVD apparatus. For example, in the sputtering apparatus, in order to stabilize the surface state of the target, the virtual area is started in each of the regions, and the method of virtual processing in the above embodiment can be applied. Further, in the CVD apparatus for film thickness measurement, the film thickness measuring section of the above-described embodiment is provided in the apparatus, and this method can also be used by using the measurement data feedforward type for the next work of CMP engineering or the like. [Effects of the Invention] The effects obtained by the representative of the invention disclosed in the present application will be briefly described as follows: (1) In a CMP project having a high labor ratio such as maintenance, the scorpion 1 is loaded with a worm. The required state of the plating is obtained by the 21 - (18) 1277149 to automate the CMP project, making it possible to rationalize the number of people. (2) By minimizing the waiting time of the operator, the utilization rate of the device can be increased to the limit, and the processing capacity can be improved and the investment amount can be compressed. (3) The conditions of the processing program can be optimized by the clean room, and the indirect business efficiency can be improved. (4) The accuracy of the film thickness between the wiring layers is improved, and the product product rate is increased by 0.
