Description

形成半導體結構的方法Methods of Forming Semiconductor Structures

本揭露有關於形成半導體裝置的方法。The present disclosure relates to methods of forming semiconductor devices.

隨著科技的進步,半導體元件的尺寸能夠被縮小,然而代價是所需的微影技術必須越來越精細。這使得在半導體元件的製程過程中,越來越難以容許小幅的位移或偏差發生。舉例而言,對晶圓進行微影時,當所使用的圖形密度高且尺寸小時,景深 (depth of focus,簡稱DOF)很小導致處理窗口有限,從而無法容忍例如半導體晶圓台略為不平坦或黃光機台狀況差的情況發生。這使得微影結果偏離所設計的圖形,產生非預期的短路或對準失常,影響半導體元件的功能。With the advancement of technology, the size of semiconductor components can be reduced, but the price is that the required lithography technology must become more and more refined. This makes it increasingly difficult to tolerate small displacements or deviations during the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices. For example, when performing lithography on a wafer, when the pattern density used is high and the size is small, the depth of focus (DOF) is very small, resulting in a limited processing window, which cannot tolerate, for example, a slight unevenness of the semiconductor wafer table. Or the condition of the yellow light machine is poor. This makes the lithography result deviate from the designed pattern, resulting in unexpected short circuit or misalignment, which affects the function of the semiconductor device.

The photomask 130 is disposed behind the light source processing chamber 120 to receive the light L2. In some embodiments, the photomask 130 may be disposed on a support frame, which is not shown here for the purpose of simple illustration. After passing through the mask 130 , the light L2 is transformed into a light L3 reflecting the mask pattern of the mask 130 . The wafer stage 140 is configured to carry the substrate 205 . The substrate 205 is, for example, a semiconductor wafer. In this way, the substrate 205 receives the light L3 reflecting the mask pattern of the mask 130 to form one or more semiconductor devices on the substrate 205 .

應留意到,為了簡單說明的目的,第1圖僅示例地繪示半導體處理設備100的部分元件,一些功能元件,包含但不限於光源110與光源處理室120的一或多個元件、一或多個容置用的腔室、一或多個用以支撐功能元件的支架結構、一或多個對基板205執行半導體製程的元件與一或多個對半導體製程中一或多個流程進行控制的處理系統被省略。It should be noted that for the purpose of simple description, FIG. 1 only illustrates some components of the semiconductor processing equipment 100, some functional components, including but not limited to one or more components of the light source 110 and the light source processing chamber 120, one or more A plurality of chambers for accommodating, one or more support structures for supporting functional components, one or more components for performing a semiconductor process on the substrate 205, and one or more for controlling one or more processes in the semiconductor process The processing system is omitted.

如此一來,半導體處理設備100能夠通過光罩130上的光罩圖案對基板205執行微影製程,以在基板205上形成一或多個半導體元件。請參照第2圖。第2圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示半導體結構200的示意圖。In this way, the semiconductor processing equipment 100 can perform a photolithography process on the substrate 205 through the mask pattern on the mask 130 to form one or more semiconductor devices on the substrate 205 . Please refer to Figure 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

如第2圖所示,在本實施方式中,半導體結構200包括基板205、切割道210以及複數個晶粒220。在本實施方式中,基板205為半導體晶圓。切割道210與多個晶粒220形成在基板205之上,晶粒220在彼此垂直的方向X與方向Y上等間距地排列。在一些實施方式中,每一個晶粒220上可以包括整合的積體電路以及外連的接腳,這些整合的積體電路可包括一或多個整合的線路與半導體元件,而晶粒220外連的接腳可與內部的積體電路或線路做連接。As shown in FIG. 2 , in this embodiment, the semiconductor structure 200 includes a substrate 205 , a dicing line 210 and a plurality of dies 220 .

In some embodiments, each die 220 may include integrated integrated circuits and external pins, and these integrated integrated circuits may include one or more integrated circuits and semiconductor elements, while the outer die 220 Connected pins can be connected with internal integrated circuits or lines.

切割道210設置以定義出各個晶粒的邊界。詳細而言,切割道210上相對晶粒220的位置幾乎沒有設置功能元件。一或多個測試用的線路可以形成在切割道210,但這些線路不影響晶粒220本身的功能。如此,後續可以沿切割道210切割出多個晶粒220,使多個晶粒220彼此分離。Scribing streets 210 are provided to define the boundaries of individual dies. In detail, almost no functional elements are disposed on the dicing line 210 opposite to the die 220 . One or more testing lines can be formed on the dicing line 210 , but these lines do not affect the function of the die 220 itself. In this way, a plurality of crystal grains 220 may be diced along the dicing line 210 subsequently, so that the plurality of crystal grains 220 are separated from each other.

為了半導體製程方便執行的目的,一或多個晶粒230不完整地形成在基板205的邊緣上。後續,在沿切割道210進行切割,使多個晶粒220彼此分離時,這些不完整的晶粒230將被捨棄。One or more dies 230 are formed incompletely on the edge of the substrate 205 for the purpose of facilitating the execution of the semiconductor process. Subsequently, when cutting along the dicing line 210 to separate the plurality of dies 220 from each other, these incomplete dies 230 will be discarded.

請同時參照第2圖與第3圖。第3圖繪示第2圖的局部R1。在本實施方式中,半導體結構200進一步包括切割道對準標記211與晶粒對準標記221。第3圖示意地繪示切割道對準標記211與晶粒對準標記221所在位置。在第3圖中,晶粒對準標記221形成在晶粒220的位置,切割道對準標記211位於切割道210內。在晶粒220與切割道210形成後,切割道對準標記211將一併形成在切割道210內,且晶粒對準標記221將一併形成在晶粒220內。如此,在形成半導體結構200後,能夠對切割道對準標記211與晶粒對準標記221進行檢驗,例如對切割道對準標記211與晶粒對準標記221進行電性量測,或是通過光學量測確認切割道對準標記211與晶粒對準標記221各自的對準關係,以確認形成的晶粒220內部是否可靠,並藉此排除故障、損害的晶粒220。Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 at the same time. Fig. 3 shows a part R1 of Fig. 2 . In this embodiment, the semiconductor structure 200 further includes a scribe line alignment mark 211 and a die alignment mark 221 . FIG. 3 schematically shows the positions of the scribe line alignment marks 211 and the die alignment marks 221 . In FIG. 3 , the die alignment mark 221 is formed at the position of the die 220 , and the scribe line alignment mark 211 is located in the scribe line 210 . After the die 220 and the dicing street 210 are formed, the dicing line alignment mark 211 will be formed in the dicing street 210 together, and the die alignment mark 221 will be formed in the die 220 together. In this way, after the semiconductor structure 200 is formed, the scribe line alignment mark 211 and the die alignment mark 221 can be inspected, for example, the electrical properties of the scribe line alignment mark 211 and the die alignment mark 221 are measured, or The respective alignment relationship between the scribe line alignment mark 211 and the die alignment mark 221 is confirmed by optical measurement, so as to confirm whether the inside of the formed die 220 is reliable, and thereby eliminate faulty and damaged die 220 .

如此一來,在對半導體結構200上的晶粒220進行初步檢驗後,將可以將多個晶粒220從半導體結構200中切割出來。切割出來的晶粒220可以獨立地封裝在其他的半導體基板上。In this way, after preliminary inspection of the crystal grains 220 on the semiconductor structure 200 , a plurality of crystal grains 220 can be cut out from the semiconductor structure 200 . The diced die 220 can be independently packaged on other semiconductor substrates.

The strip conductors 3122 , the strip conductors 3123 , the strip conductors 3126 and the strip conductors 3127 may have similar widths. In detail, the width of the strip conductor 3121 in the direction X is smaller than the width of the strip conductor 3122 in the direction Y. The width of the strip conductor 3124 in the direction Y is smaller than the width of the strip conductor 3123 in the direction X. The width of the strip conductor 3125 in the direction Y is smaller than the width of the strip conductor 3126 in the direction Y.

基於第4圖至第5B圖繪示的切割道對準佈局311,能夠設計出對應切割道對準佈局311的光罩圖案。請參照第6A圖與第6B圖。第6A圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示對應第5A圖的局部光罩圖案。第6B圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示第5B圖對應的局部光罩圖案。其中,為了方便說明的目的,第6A圖與第6B圖僅繪示用以形成切割道對準佈局311之長條導體3121~3128的光罩圖案。Based on the scribe line alignment layout 311 shown in FIGS. 4 to 5B , a mask pattern corresponding to the scribe line alignment layout 311 can be designed. Please refer to Figure 6A and Figure 6B. FIG. 6A shows a partial mask pattern corresponding to FIG. 5A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6B shows a partial mask pattern corresponding to FIG. 5B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Wherein, for the purpose of illustration, FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B only show the mask patterns for forming the elongated conductors 3121 - 3128 of the scribe line alignment layout 311 .

舉例而言,在第6A圖中,光罩圖案中的切割道對準圖案包括對應長條導體3125的多個長條圖案4125。長條圖案4125在方向Y上具有寬度W7,且多個長條圖案4125在方向Y上以寬度W8等間距排列。For example, in FIG. 6A , the scribe line alignment pattern in the mask pattern includes a plurality of strip patterns 4125 corresponding to the strip conductors 3125 . The strip pattern 4125 has a width W7 in the direction Y, and a plurality of strip patterns 4125 are arranged at equal intervals with a width W8 in the direction Y.

基於第6A圖與第6B圖的光罩圖案,將可以設計實質用以微影的光罩。請參照第7A圖與第7B圖。第7A圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示對應第6A圖的局部光罩512。第7B圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示對應第6B圖的局部光罩512。Based on the mask patterns in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B , it will be possible to design a mask that is actually used for lithography. Please refer to Figure 7A and Figure 7B. FIG. 7A shows a partial mask 512 corresponding to FIG. 6A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 7B shows a partial mask 512 corresponding to FIG. 6B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

在第7A圖與第7B圖中,分別產生了對應第6A圖之光罩的長條圖案4125與第6B圖之光罩的長條圖案4128的局部光罩512。詳細而言,在第7A圖繪示的光罩512的局部中,對應多個長條圖案4125的開口O1沿方向X形成在光罩512上,且在第7B圖繪示的光罩512的局部中,對應多個長條圖案4128的開口O2沿方向Y形成在光罩512上。In FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, the partial mask 512 corresponding to the strip pattern 4125 of the mask of FIG. 6A and the strip pattern 4128 of the mask of FIG. 6B is produced respectively. Specifically, in part of the mask 512 shown in Figure 7A, openings O1 corresponding to a plurality of elongated patterns 4125 are formed on the mask 512 along the direction X, and in the mask 512 shown in Figure 7B Partially, the openings O2 corresponding to the plurality of elongated patterns 4128 are formed on the mask 512 along the direction Y.

請回到第1圖。如此一來,通過設置光罩512在半導體處理設備100中,即將光罩512設置作為半導體處理設備100中的光罩130,即能夠對基板205執行微影製程,形成對應切割道對準佈局311的切割道對準標記211。Please go back to Figure 1. In this way, by arranging the photomask 512 in the semiconductor processing equipment 100, that is, setting the photomask 512 as the photomask 130 in the semiconductor processing equipment 100, the lithography process can be performed on the substrate 205 to form the corresponding scribe line alignment layout 311 The scribe line alignment marks 211.

請參照第8A圖與第8B圖。第8A圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示切割道對準標記211之長條導體的示意俯視圖,其中第8A圖為示例的光學俯視圖。第8B圖則繪示第8A圖的局部示意剖面圖。Please refer to Figure 8A and Figure 8B. FIG. 8A shows a schematic top view of the elongated conductor of the scribe line alignment mark 211 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein FIG. 8A is an exemplary optical top view. Fig. 8B is a partial schematic cross-sectional view of Fig. 8A.

在第8A圖繪示的實施例中,由於第7A圖、第7B圖光罩512設計的景深 (depth of focus,簡稱DOF,為關係到微影製程之解析度的參數)有限,使得形成的切割道對準標記211的多個長條導體發生倒線而產生非預期連接。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8A, since the depth of focus (depth of focus, referred to as DOF, a parameter related to the resolution of the lithography process) is limited due to the design of the mask 512 in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the formed A plurality of long conductors of the scribe line alignment mark 211 are reversed to generate an unexpected connection.

詳細而言,在第8A圖繪示的實施例中,長條導體2121對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3121,長條導體2122對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3122,長條導體2123對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3123,長條導體2124對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3124,長條導體2125對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3125,長條導體2126對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3126,長條導體2127對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3127,以及長條導體2128對應第4圖中切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3128。In detail, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8A, the strip conductor 2121 corresponds to the strip conductor 3121 of the scribe alignment layout 311 in FIG. 4 , and the strip conductor 2122 corresponds to the scribe alignment layout in FIG. 4 The strip conductor 3122 of 311, the strip conductor 2123 corresponds to the strip conductor 3123 of the cutting line alignment layout 311 in the fourth figure, and the strip conductor 2124 corresponds to the strip conductor 3124 of the cutting line alignment layout 311 in the fourth figure, and the long strip conductor 2124 corresponds to the cutting line alignment layout 311 in the fourth figure. The strip conductor 2125 corresponds to the strip conductor 3125 of the slit line alignment layout 311 in FIG. 4, the strip conductor 2126 corresponds to the strip conductor 3126 of the slit line alignment layout 311 in FIG. The strip conductor 3127 and the strip conductor 2128 of the scribe alignment layout 311 correspond to the strip conductor 3128 of the scribe alignment layout 311 in FIG. 4 .

第8A圖為示例的光學俯視圖。在第8A圖通過光學拍攝形成的長條導體2121~2128,由於長條導體2121、長條導體2124、長條導體2125、長條導體2128之間間隔的寬度較窄,且第7A圖、第7B圖光罩512設計的DOF有限,長條導體2121、長條導體2124、長條導體2125、長條導體2128在第8A圖上是模糊而無法分辨的。Figure 8A is an example optical top view. The elongated conductors 2121-2128 formed by optical photography in FIG. 8A, because the width of the interval between the elongated conductor 2121, the elongated conductor 2124, the elongated conductor 2125, and the elongated conductor 2128 is relatively narrow, and the widths of the intervals in FIG. 7A, FIG. The DOF of the mask 512 in Figure 7B is limited, and the strip conductors 2121, 2124, 2125, and 2128 are blurred and cannot be distinguished in Figure 8A.

同時參照第8A圖與第8B圖。在第8B圖繪示的局部示意剖面圖中,多個對應到設計之長條導體2128的長條導體206、長條導體207、長條導體208、長條導體209形成在基板205上。長條導體206、長條導體207、長條導體208、長條導體209在方向X上的寬度並不相同。在一些實施方式中,長條導體206、長條導體207、長條導體208、長條導體209在方向X上彼此間隔也並不相同。這反映由於DOF有限所產生的倒線現象。Also refer to Figure 8A and Figure 8B. In the partial schematic cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 8B , a plurality of strip conductors 206 , strip conductors 207 , strip conductors 208 , and strip conductors 209 corresponding to the designed strip conductors 2128 are formed on the substrate 205 . The strip conductors 206 , the strip conductors 207 , the strip conductors 208 , and the strip conductors 209 have different widths in the direction X. In some embodiments, the distances between the strip conductors 206 , the strip conductors 207 , the strip conductors 208 , and the strip conductors 209 in the direction X are not the same. This reflects the line fall phenomenon due to the limited DOF.

舉例而言,由於DOF有限,當半導體處理設備100因非預期事故導致承載的基板205位置上晃動/偏移,導致其中一個長條導體207在方向X上具有較大寬度,則緊鄰長條導體207的長條導體206與長條導體208亦受影響而在方向X上僅具有較少的寬度。For example, due to the limited DOF, when the semiconductor processing equipment 100 shakes/shifts in the position of the substrate 205 due to unexpected accidents, resulting in one of the long conductors 207 having a larger width in the direction X, the adjacent long conductors The strip conductor 206 and the strip conductor 208 of 207 are also affected and have a smaller width in the direction X.

應留意到,在第8B圖的剖面上應僅具有二至三條的長條導體,但長條導體207在方向X上佔據較大寬度,導致在第8B圖上出現四個長條導體206、長條導體207、長條導體208、長條導體209。It should be noted that there should only be two to three strip conductors on the cross section of Figure 8B, but the strip conductor 207 occupies a larger width in the direction X, resulting in four strip conductors 206, The strip conductor 207 , the strip conductor 208 , and the strip conductor 209 .

接續第8A圖與第8B圖,第9圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示形成的切割道對準標記211的局部示意剖面圖。第9圖接續第8B圖的剖面,進一步形成對應切割道對準佈局311中之導電通孔3164的通孔216。通孔216以不同於光罩512的另一光罩形成。氧化層213與下伏層214進一步形成在基板205之上。光阻層215進一步形成在下伏層214的頂面上。通過光罩對光阻層215進行圖案化,形成開口215O。通過光阻層215的開口215O,能夠形成通孔216,通孔216沿方向Z延伸至基板205的頂面。基板205、長條導體206~209、氧化層213、下伏層214與通孔216可以被認為是形成的切割道對準標記211。Continuing from FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B , FIG. 9 shows a partial schematic cross-sectional view of the formed scribe line alignment mark 211 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 9 is a continuation of the cross section of FIG. 8B , further forming via holes 216 corresponding to the conductive via holes 3164 in the scribe line alignment layout 311 . The through hole 216 is formed with another photomask than the photomask 512 . An oxide layer 213 and an underlying layer 214 are further formed on the substrate 205 . A photoresist layer 215 is further formed on the top surface of the underlying layer 214 . The photoresist layer 215 is patterned through a photomask to form an opening 215O. Through the opening 215O of the photoresist layer 215 , a through hole 216 can be formed, and the through hole 216 extends along the direction Z to the top surface of the substrate 205 . The substrate 205 , the strip conductors 206 - 209 , the oxide layer 213 , the underlying layer 214 and the through hole 216 can be regarded as the formed scribe line alignment mark 211 .

如第9圖所示,由於長條導體207在方向X上佔據較大寬度,其中第9圖左邊的通孔216連接到長條導體207,而第9圖右邊的通孔216卻未連接到緊鄰長條導體207的長條導體208。As shown in Figure 9, since the strip conductor 207 occupies a larger width in the direction X, the through hole 216 on the left side of Figure 9 is connected to the strip conductor 207, while the through hole 216 on the right side of Figure 9 is not connected to The strip conductor 208 is next to the strip conductor 207 .

如此一來,通過通孔216對切割道對準標記211進行量測,即能夠獲得通孔216與長條導體206~209出現缺陷。再通過光學量測對第9圖的切割道對準標記211剖面進行檢驗,即能夠通過切割道對準標記211確認半導體結構200的對準出現問題。In this way, by measuring the scribe line alignment mark 211 through the through hole 216 , it is possible to obtain defects in the through hole 216 and the elongated conductors 206 - 209 . Then, the cross section of the scribe line alignment mark 211 in FIG. 9 is inspected by optical measurement, that is, the alignment problem of the semiconductor structure 200 can be confirmed through the scribe line alignment mark 211 .

此外,請回到第2圖與第3圖。在本揭露的一或多個實施方式中,晶粒220中的晶粒對準標記221,亦能夠通過設計晶粒對準佈局後(例如如第4圖至第5B圖所示切割道對準佈局311的設計方式),設計晶粒對準光罩圖案(如第6A圖至第6B圖所示切割道對準圖案的設計),根據設計的晶粒對準光罩圖案製造對應的另一光罩(如第7A圖至第7B圖所示的光罩512的設計方式),從而通過光罩形成晶粒對準標記221。晶粒對準標記221可以具有類似於切割道對準標記211的結構,以通過導電通孔確認相應的對準特性。Also, please go back to Figure 2 and Figure 3. In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the die alignment marks 221 in the die 220 can also be aligned by designing the die alignment layout (for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 5B ). layout 311), design the grain alignment mask pattern (such as the design of the scribe line alignment pattern shown in Figure 6A to Figure 6B), and manufacture another corresponding one according to the designed grain alignment mask pattern A photomask (such as the design of the photomask 512 shown in FIGS. 7A to 7B ) is used to form the die alignment marks 221 through the photomask. The die alignment mark 221 may have a structure similar to that of the scribe line alignment mark 211 to confirm corresponding alignment characteristics through conductive vias.

FIG. 10A illustrates a partial mask pattern corresponding to FIG. 5A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 10B shows the partial mask pattern corresponding to FIG. 5B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that for purposes of clarity of illustration, similar elements have been given the same reference numerals.

相比於第6A圖的光罩圖案,在第10A圖中,每一個長條圖案4125進一步設置沿方向X延伸的遮光條S1與遮光條S2。遮光條S1與遮光條S2在方向Y上具有相同的寬度W11。第10A圖可以認為是對第6A圖的光阻圖案做光學鄰近修正,對每一個長條圖案4125都額外設置沿方向X延伸的遮光條S1與遮光條S2,以沿方向X遮擋光線。Compared with the mask pattern in FIG. 6A , in FIG. 10A , each strip pattern 4125 is further provided with light-shielding strips S1 and S2 extending along the direction X. The light-shielding strip S1 and the light-shielding strip S2 have the same width W11 in the direction Y. FIG. 10A can be regarded as an optical proximity correction for the photoresist pattern in FIG. 6A , and each strip pattern 4125 is additionally provided with a light-shielding strip S1 and a light-shielding strip S2 extending along the direction X to shield light along the direction X.

在本實施方式中,遮光條S1與遮光條S2在方向X上的長度小於長條圖案4125在方向X上的長度,使得遮光條S1與遮光條S2不會接觸長條圖案4125的任一邊緣。In this embodiment, the length of the light-shielding strip S1 and the light-shielding strip S2 in the direction X is smaller than the length of the strip pattern 4125 in the direction X, so that the light-shielding strip S1 and the light-shielding strip S2 will not touch any edge of the strip pattern 4125 .

相似地,相比於第6B圖的光罩圖案,在第10B圖中,每一個長條圖案4128進一步設置沿方向Y延伸的遮光條S3與遮光條S4。遮光條S3與遮光條S4在方向Y上具有相同的寬度W12。第10B圖可以認為是對第6B圖的光阻圖案做光學鄰近修正,對每一個長條圖案4128都額外設置沿方向Y延伸的遮光條S3與遮光條S4,以沿方向Y遮擋光線。Similarly, compared to the mask pattern in FIG. 6B , in FIG. 10B , each strip pattern 4128 is further provided with light-shielding strips S3 and S4 extending along the direction Y. The light-shielding strip S3 and the light-shielding strip S4 have the same width W12 in the direction Y.

此外,在本實施方式中,遮光條S3與遮光條S4在方向Y上的長度小於長條圖案4128在方向Y上的長度,這使得遮光條S3與遮光條S4不會接觸長條圖案4128的任一邊緣。In addition, in this embodiment, the length of the light-shielding strip S3 and the light-shielding strip S4 in the direction Y is smaller than the length of the strip pattern 4128 in the direction Y, which prevents the light-shielding strip S3 and the light-shielding strip S4 from contacting the strip pattern 4128. either edge.

在本揭露的一或多個實施方式中,舉例但不以此為限,寬度W11在3奈米至45奈米的範圍內,寬度W12在3奈米至45奈米的範圍內。In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, for example but not limited thereto, the width W11 is within a range of 3 nm to 45 nm, and the width W12 is within a range of 3 nm to 45 nm.

如此一來,實現對第4圖之切割道對準佈局311所對應的光罩進行全局的光學鄰近修正。這有利於通過第11A圖與第11B圖的光罩512與遮光條C1~C4實現切割道對準佈局311的精確性。如此,能夠增加整體半導體結構200的DOF,提升對基板205對非預期偏移影響微影結果的容忍性。In this way, global optical proximity correction can be performed on the mask corresponding to the scribe line alignment layout 311 in FIG. 4 .

第12A圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示切割道對準標記211之長條導體的示意俯視圖。第12A圖可以認為是切割道對準標記211之長條導體的光學俯視示意圖。第12A圖中的長條標記2121~2128係通過第11A圖與第11B圖的光罩微影所形成。FIG. 12A shows a schematic top view of the elongated conductor of the scribe line alignment mark 211 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

請進一步參照第12B圖。第12B圖繪示第12A圖的局部示意剖面圖。Please refer further to Fig. 12B. FIG. 12B shows a partial schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 12A.

在第12B圖中,在基板205形成的多個長條導體212(對應第12A圖中的多個長條導體2128)在方向X上能夠具有相似的寬度,且彼此之間以相同的間距間隔。在本揭露的一些實施方式中,每一長條導體212在方向X上具有300奈米至400奈米之間的寬度。在一些實施方式中,長條導體212在基板205的頂面與基板205的內部沿方向X上可以具有不同的寬度,且長條導體212沿方向X上的寬度在300奈米至400奈米範圍之間。舉例而言,沿方向X上,長條導體212在基板205的頂面具有381奈米的寬度,之後往基板205內部內縮地縮減,使得長條導體212的底部具有345奈米的寬度。In FIG. 12B, the plurality of elongated conductors 212 (corresponding to the plurality of elongated conductors 2128 in FIG. 12A ) formed on the substrate 205 can have similar widths in the direction X, and be spaced at the same pitch from each other. . In some embodiments of the present disclosure, each strip conductor 212 has a width in the direction X of 300 nm to 400 nm. In some embodiments, the strip conductor 212 may have different widths along the direction X on the top surface of the substrate 205 and inside the substrate 205, and the width of the strip conductor 212 along the direction X is between 300 nm and 400 nm. range between. For example, along the direction X, the strip conductor 212 has a width of 381 nm on the top surface of the substrate 205 , and then shrinks inwardly into the substrate 205 , so that the bottom of the strip conductor 212 has a width of 345 nm.

在一些實施方式中,長條導體212沿方向X上彼此間隔在100奈米至200奈米之間的間距。在一些實施方式中,每一長條導體212在方向X上例如具有345奈米至之間的寬度,且彼此間隔在121奈米至155奈米之間的間距。In some embodiments, the strip conductors 212 are spaced apart from each other along the direction X by a distance between 100 nm and 200 nm. In some embodiments, each elongated conductor 212 has a width of between 345 nm and 155 nm in the direction X, for example, and is spaced apart from each other by a distance between 121 nm and 155 nm.

如此一來,延續第12B圖,請參照第13圖。第13圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示切割道對準標記211的局部示意剖面圖。類似於第9圖,在第13B圖中,進一步形成對應切割道對準佈局311中之導電通孔3164的通孔216。通孔216以不同於光罩512的另一光罩形成。氧化層213與下伏層214進一步形成在基板205之上。光阻層215進一步形成在下伏層214的頂面上。通過光罩對光阻層215進行圖案化,形成開口215O。通過光阻層215的開口215O,能夠形成通孔216,通孔216沿方向Z延伸至基板205的頂面。基板205、多個長條導體212、氧化層213、下伏層214與通孔216可以被認為是形成的切割道對準標記211。In this way, continue to FIG. 12B, please refer to FIG. 13. FIG. 13 shows a partial schematic cross-sectional view of a scribe line alignment mark 211 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Similar to FIG. 9, in FIG. 13B, vias 216 corresponding to the conductive vias 3164 in the scribe line alignment layout 311 are further formed. The through hole 216 is formed with another photomask than the photomask 512 . An oxide layer 213 and an underlying layer 214 are further formed on the substrate 205 . A photoresist layer 215 is further formed on the top surface of the underlying layer 214 . The photoresist layer 215 is patterned through a photomask to form an opening 215O. Through the opening 215O of the photoresist layer 215 , a through hole 216 can be formed, and the through hole 216 extends along the direction Z to the top surface of the substrate 205 . The substrate 205 , the plurality of strip conductors 212 , the oxide layer 213 , the underlying layer 214 and the via 216 can be regarded as the formed scribe line alignment marks 211 .

在第13圖中,每一個導電通孔216都能夠連接到相應的一個長條導體212,如第4圖的切割道對準佈局311所設計的。如此,通過電性量測與光學拍攝,皆能夠檢驗長條導體212符合切割道對準佈局311的設計,進而確保形成的切割道210也是精確的符合所設計的切割道佈局而形成的。In FIG. 13 , each conductive via 216 can be connected to a corresponding one of the elongated conductors 212 as designed by the scribe line alignment layout 311 of FIG. 4 . In this way, through electrical measurement and optical photography, it is possible to verify that the elongated conductor 212 complies with the design of the scribe line alignment layout 311 , thereby ensuring that the formed scribe line 210 is also precisely formed according to the designed scribe line layout.

在一些實施方式中,切割道對準標記211可以通過對應切割道對準佈局311之導電通孔3161~3164的通孔216執行電性量測,以實現對長條導體2121、長條導體2124、長條導體2125、長條導體2128的對準量測。In some embodiments, the scribe line alignment mark 211 can perform electrical measurement through the through holes 216 corresponding to the conductive via holes 3161~3164 of the scribe line alignment layout 311, so as to realize the measurement of the long conductor 2121 and the long conductor 2124. , Alignment measurement of the strip conductor 2125 and the strip conductor 2128.

回到第2圖。隨著切割道對準標記211的形成,切割道210也一併微影在基板205之上。隨後,晶粒220與晶粒對準標記221也通過相應的一或多層光罩形成在基板205之上,形成半導體結構200。Back to Figure 2. Along with the formation of the scribe line alignment mark 211 , the scribe line 210 is also lithographically formed on the substrate 205 . Subsequently, the die 220 and the die alignment mark 221 are also formed on the substrate 205 through corresponding one or more layers of photomasks to form the semiconductor structure 200 .

綜合以上,對切割道對準佈局311所對應的光罩執行光學鄰近修正,實質上對應對微影切割道210之切割道光罩圖案執行光學鄰近修正。相似地,在本實施方式中,能夠對晶粒220與晶粒對準標記221所對應的光罩進行光學鄰近修正。如此一來,針對切割道210與晶粒220所對應的兩部不同光罩的光罩圖案分別執行光學鄰近修正,能夠提升整體半導體結構200的DOF。To sum up, the optical proximity correction is performed on the mask corresponding to the scribe line alignment layout 311 , and the optical proximity correction is actually performed on the scribe line mask pattern of the lithography line 210 . Similarly, in this embodiment, optical proximity correction can be performed on the mask corresponding to the die 220 and the die alignment mark 221 . In this way, optical proximity correction is performed on the mask patterns of two different masks corresponding to the dicing line 210 and the die 220 , which can improve the DOF of the overall semiconductor structure 200 .

在本揭露的一或多個實施方式中,通過對形成晶粒220與切割道210之光罩的光罩圖案進行光學鄰近修正,能夠顯著的增加形成半導體結構200的DOF的範圍。在一些實施方式中,若僅對形成晶粒220之光罩的光罩圖案進行光學鄰近修正,則形成半導體結構200的DOF約為-0.04微米至-0.1微米的範圍。在一些實施方式中,若同時對形成晶粒220與切割道210之光罩的光罩圖案進行光學鄰近修正,則形成半導體結構200的DOF約為-0.02微米至-0.14微米的範圍,明顯提升了容忍基板205非預期偏移的能力。In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, by performing optical proximity correction on the mask pattern of the mask forming the die 220 and the dicing line 210 , the range of DOF for forming the semiconductor structure 200 can be significantly increased. In some embodiments, if only the optical proximity correction is performed on the mask pattern of the mask forming the die 220 , the DOF of the semiconductor structure 200 is in the range of −0.04 μm to −0.1 μm. In some embodiments, if the optical proximity correction is performed on the mask pattern of the mask forming the die 220 and the dicing line 210 at the same time, the DOF of the semiconductor structure 200 is about -0.02 μm to -0.14 μm, which is significantly improved. The ability to tolerate unintended deflection of the substrate 205 is achieved.

應留意到,第11A圖至第11B圖係示意地繪示其中一種對光罩圖案的光學鄰近修正方式。請參照第14A圖與第14B圖,以說明光學鄰近修正的另一實施例。第14A圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示對應第5A圖的局部光罩圖案。第14B圖根據本揭露之一實施方式繪示第5B圖對應的局部光罩圖案。It should be noted that FIGS. 11A to 11B schematically illustrate one of the optical proximity correction methods for the mask pattern. Please refer to FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B to illustrate another embodiment of optical proximity correction. FIG. 14A illustrates a partial mask pattern corresponding to FIG. 5A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 14B shows the partial mask pattern corresponding to FIG. 5B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

相比於第6A圖的光罩圖案,在第14A圖中,每一個長條圖案4125進一步設置沿方向X延伸的遮光條S5、遮光條S7以及沿方向Y延伸的遮光條S6。第14A圖同樣可以認為是對第6A圖的光阻圖案做光學鄰近修正,對每一個長條圖案4125都額外設置沿方向X延伸的遮光條S5與遮光條S7以沿方向X遮擋光線,並額外設置沿方向Y延伸的遮光條S6以沿方向Y遮擋光線。如第14A圖所示,遮光條S5、S6與S7是沿長條圖案4125的邊緣設置,但遮光條S5、S6與S7不延伸至長條圖案4125之邊緣交界處。Compared with the mask pattern in FIG. 6A , in FIG. 14A , each strip pattern 4125 is further provided with light-shielding strips S5 , S7 extending along direction X, and light-shielding strips S6 extending along direction Y. FIG. 14A can also be regarded as an optical proximity correction for the photoresist pattern in FIG. 6A. For each elongated pattern 4125, a light-shielding strip S5 and a light-shielding strip S7 extending along the direction X are additionally provided to shield light along the direction X, and A light shielding strip S6 extending along the direction Y is additionally provided to shield light along the direction Y. As shown in FIG. 14A , the light-shielding strips S5 , S6 and S7 are arranged along the edges of the strip pattern 4125 , but the light-shielding strips S5 , S6 and S7 do not extend to the edge junction of the strip pattern 4125 .

換言之,遮光條S5與遮光條S7在方向X上的長度小於長條圖案4125在方向X上的長度,且遮光條S6在方向Y上的長度小於長條圖案4125在方向Y上的長度,使得遮光條S5、遮光條S6與遮光條S7不會接觸長條圖案4125的任一邊緣的交界處。In other words, the length of the light-shielding strip S5 and the light-shielding strip S7 in the direction X is smaller than the length of the strip pattern 4125 in the direction X, and the length of the light-shielding strip S6 in the direction Y is shorter than the length of the strip pattern 4125 in the direction Y, so that The light-shielding strip S5 , the light-shielding strip S6 and the light-shielding strip S7 do not touch the junction of any edge of the strip pattern 4125 .

相似地,相比於第6B圖的光罩圖案,在第14B圖中,每一個長條圖案4128進一步設置沿方向Y延伸的遮光條S8、遮光條S10以及沿方向Y延伸的遮光條S9。第14B圖同樣可以認為是對第6B圖的光阻圖案做光學鄰近修正,對每一個長條圖案4128都額外設置沿方向Y延伸的遮光條S8與遮光條S10以沿方向X遮擋光線,並額外設置沿方向X延伸的遮光條S9以沿方向X遮擋光線。如第14B圖所示,遮光條S8、S9與S10是沿長條圖案4128的邊緣設置,但遮光條S8、S9與S10不延伸至長條圖案4128之邊緣交界處。Similarly, compared to the mask pattern in FIG. 6B , in FIG. 14B , each elongated pattern 4128 is further provided with light-shielding strips S8 , S10 extending along the direction Y, and light-shielding strips S9 extending along the direction Y. Figure 14B can also be regarded as an optical proximity correction for the photoresist pattern in Figure 6B. For each strip pattern 4128, a light-shielding strip S8 and a light-shielding strip S10 extending along the direction Y are additionally provided to shield light along the direction X, and A light shielding strip S9 extending along the direction X is additionally provided to shield light along the direction X. As shown in FIG. 14B , the light-shielding strips S8 , S9 and S10 are arranged along the edges of the strip pattern 4128 , but the light-shielding strips S8 , S9 and S10 do not extend to the boundary of the strip pattern 4128 .

換言之,遮光條S8與遮光條S10在方向Y上的長度小於長條圖案4128在方向Y上的長度,且遮光條S9在方向X上的長度小於長條圖案4128在方向X上的長度,使得遮光條S8、遮光條S9與遮光條S10不會接觸長條圖案4128的任一邊緣的交界處。In other words, the length of the light-shielding strip S8 and the light-shielding strip S10 in the direction Y is smaller than the length of the strip pattern 4128 in the direction Y, and the length of the light-shielding strip S9 in the direction X is shorter than the length of the strip pattern 4128 in the direction X, so that The light-shielding strip S8 , the light-shielding strip S9 , and the light-shielding strip S10 do not touch the junction of any edge of the strip pattern 4128 .

Compared with the partial mask in FIG. 7A , the partial mask in FIG. 15A is further provided with light-shielding bars C5 , C6 and C7 extending along the direction X in the opening O1 of the mask 512 corresponding to the elongated pattern 4125 .

The shading strips C5 , C6 and C7 respectively correspond to the shading strips S5 , S6 and S7 in FIG. 14A .

另一方面,第15B圖的局部光罩係根據第14B圖中經光學鄰近修正的光罩圖案所形成。相比於第7B圖的局部光罩,在第15B圖繪示的實施例中,每一個開口O2包括沿方向Y延伸的相對邊緣E4、邊緣E6以及沿方向X延伸的邊緣E5,遮光條C8、遮光條C10分別沿邊緣E4、E6設置,遮光條C9沿邊緣E5設置,但遮光條C8~C10任一者都不接觸邊緣E4、邊緣E5與邊緣E6中任兩者的交界處。遮光條C8、C9與C10分別對應第14B圖的遮光條S8、S9與S10。On the other hand, the partial mask in FIG. 15B is formed according to the optical proximity corrected mask pattern in FIG. 14B.

在流程603,對光罩圖案中對應晶粒佈局的晶粒圖案與對應切割道佈局的切割道圖案做光學鄰近修正,其中對切割道圖案的切割道對準圖案做光學修正例如第10A圖、第10B圖所示額外設置遮光條S1~S4,或是例如第14A圖、第14B圖所示額外設置遮光條S5~S10。In the process 603, the optical proximity correction is performed on the grain pattern corresponding to the grain layout and the scribe pattern corresponding to the scribe layout in the mask pattern, wherein the optical correction is performed on the scribe alignment pattern of the scribe pattern, such as FIG. 10A, Additional shading strips S1-S4 are provided as shown in FIG. 10B, or additional shading strips S5-S10 are additionally provided as shown in FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B.

在本揭露的一或多個實施方式中,實質上是對光罩圖案中對應晶粒佈局的晶粒圖案與對應切割道佈局的切割道圖案的兩組不同光罩圖案做光學鄰近修正,從而能夠提升形成之半導體結構200整體的DOF。In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, optical proximity correction is essentially performed on two different mask patterns of the die pattern corresponding to the die layout and the scribe pattern corresponding to the scribe layout in the mask pattern, so that The overall DOF of the formed semiconductor structure 200 can be improved.

在一些實施方式中,可以通過半導體處理設備100的光罩準備室對光罩圖案執行光學鄰近修正,藉以使用微影術增強技術來補償影像誤差,諸如可產生自繞射、干涉、其他製程效應及類似者的影像誤差,如第10A圖至第10B圖、第14A圖至第14B圖所示。在一切實施方式中,可以通過半導體處理設備100的光罩準備室修改光罩圖案,例如修改光罩圖案的MEBES格式檔案,實現光學鄰近修正的執行。In some embodiments, optical proximity correction may be performed on the reticle pattern by the reticle preparation chamber of the semiconductor processing facility 100, thereby using lithography enhancement techniques to compensate for image errors such as self-diffraction, interference, and other process effects and similar image errors, as shown in Figures 10A to 10B, and 14A to 14B. In all embodiments, the optical proximity correction can be implemented by modifying the mask pattern in the mask preparation room of the semiconductor processing equipment 100 , for example, modifying the MEBES format file of the mask pattern.

在流程604,基於光學鄰近修正後的光罩圖案製造光罩。在一個實施例中,切割道對準圖案依據第10A圖與第10B圖所形成,對應的光罩例如第11A圖、第11B所示,具有光罩512以及額外設置的遮光條C1~C4。在另一個實施例中,切割道對準圖案依據第14A圖與第14B圖所形成,對應的光罩例如第15A圖、第15B所示,具有光罩512以及額外設置的遮光條C5~C10。In process 604 , a reticle is fabricated based on the optical proximity corrected reticle pattern. In one embodiment, the scribe line alignment pattern is formed according to FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B , and the corresponding mask is shown in FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B , which has a mask 512 and additional light-shielding bars C1 - C4 . In another embodiment, the scribe line alignment pattern is formed according to FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B, and the corresponding mask is shown in FIG. 15A and FIG. 15B, for example, which has a mask 512 and additional light-shielding bars C5-C10. .

在一些實施方式中,可以通過半導體處理設備100的光罩準備室製造光罩。隨後,製造出的光罩設置為半導體處理設備100的光罩130。In some implementations, the reticle may be fabricated by a reticle preparation chamber of the semiconductor processing facility 100 . Subsequently, the manufactured photomask is provided as the photomask 130 of the semiconductor processing apparatus 100 .

在流程605,通過光罩在晶圓上形成多個晶粒220與圍繞多個晶粒220的切割道210,如第2圖所示,形成半導體結構200。In process 605 , a plurality of dies 220 and dicing lines 210 surrounding the plurality of dies 220 are formed on the wafer through a photomask, as shown in FIG. 2 , to form a semiconductor structure 200 .

在一些實施方式中,光學微影製程包括圖案化光阻劑,諸如正光阻或負光阻。在一些實施方式中,光學微影製程包括形成光罩、抗反射結構、或其他適合的光學微影用結構。在一些實施方中,材料移除製程可包括適合的蝕刻製程。接著用導電材料(例如金屬或其他適合的導電材料)來填充開口,例如使用沉積製造或其他適合的形成製程來填充開口,例如形成導體212與通孔216。In some embodiments, the photolithography process includes patterning a photoresist, such as a positive photoresist or a negative photoresist. In some embodiments, the photolithography process includes forming a photomask, an anti-reflection structure, or other suitable photolithographic structures. In some embodiments, the material removal process may include a suitable etching process. The opening is then filled with a conductive material, such as metal or other suitable conductive material, such as by deposition or other suitable forming process, such as forming the conductor 212 and the via 216 .

在一些實施方式中,晶粒220具有晶粒對準標記221,切割道210具有切割道對準標記211。進一步地,形成的切割道對準標記211如第12A圖至第12B圖所示,各個長條導體2121~2128符合切割道對準佈局311的長條導體3121~3128設計彼此不重疊。在第13圖中,導電通孔216對應到切割道對準佈局311的通孔3161~3164,能夠分別連接到對應的長條導體212。在一些實施方式中,晶粒對準標記221可以具有類似切割道對準標記211的結構。In some embodiments, the die 220 has a die alignment mark 221 and the scribe line 210 has a scribe line alignment mark 211 . Further, the formed scribe line alignment marks 211 are shown in FIG. 12A to FIG. 12B , and the elongated conductors 2121 - 2128 conforming to the scribe line alignment layout 311 are designed not to overlap with each other. In FIG. 13 , the conductive vias 216 correspond to the vias 3161 - 3164 of the scribe line alignment layout 311 , and can be respectively connected to the corresponding elongated conductors 212 . In some embodiments, the die alignment mark 221 may have a structure similar to the scribe line alignment mark 211 .

在流程606,在形成半導體結構200之後,通過晶粒對準標記221與切割道對準標記211執行對準量測。舉例而言,例如可以針對第13圖中的導電通孔216進行電性量測。In process 606 , after forming the semiconductor structure 200 , alignment measurements are performed through the die alignment marks 221 and the scribe line alignment marks 211 . For example, electrical property measurements can be performed on the conductive via 216 in FIG. 13 .

在一些實施方式中,於流程606執行對準量測確保晶粒220的良率之後,可以沿切割道210分割晶粒220。之後,可以將晶粒220封裝在其他的半導體基板上,形成封裝結構。In some embodiments, the die 220 may be singulated along the scribe line 210 after the alignment measurement is performed in the process 606 to ensure the yield of the die 220 . Afterwards, the die 220 may be packaged on other semiconductor substrates to form a package structure.

綜上所述,能夠改善因應微影製程尺寸縮小,半導體結構製程DOF很小,從而使得整個製程易受半導體晶圓不平坦或黃光機台狀況影響,導致切割道內導體圖形導線失焦倒線而產生通孔與導體的對準問題。針對形成的半導體結構中線寬較小的導體與一些較粗的圖形例如對準圖形,適用於高數值孔徑的黃光製程,能夠使用光學鄰近修正做修飾,在圖形內部或邊界設置遮光條,使圖形整體的DOF明顯增加,提升製程穩定性。通過本揭露的形成半導體結構的方式,通過對切割道的光罩圖案與晶粒圖案都執行光學鄰近修正,將能夠使整體的DOF明顯增加。To sum up, it can improve the size reduction of the lithography process, and the DOF of the semiconductor structure process is very small, so that the whole process is susceptible to the unevenness of the semiconductor wafer or the condition of the yellow light machine, resulting in the out-of-focus of the conductor pattern wires in the dicing line. Alignment issues between vias and conductors arise. For conductors with smaller line widths and some thicker graphics such as alignment graphics in the formed semiconductor structure, it is suitable for yellow light processes with high numerical apertures. Optical proximity correction can be used for modification, and shading strips are set inside or on the boundaries of the graphics. The overall DOF of the graphics is significantly increased, and the stability of the process is improved. With the disclosed method of forming a semiconductor structure, by performing optical proximity correction on both the mask pattern and the die pattern of the dicing line, the overall DOF can be significantly increased.
