Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for examining an at least partially reflecting surface of a wafer or other object containing
- (C) a measuring arrangement for determining the distance and / or the inclination of the surface to the inspection assembly.
- the invention further relates to an inspection method for examining an at least partially reflecting surface of a wafer or other object with an inspection arrangement arranged at a distance in front of the surface to be examined, in which the distance and / or the inclination of the surface to the inspection arrangement is determined.
- wafers are slices of semiconductor, glass, foil or ceramic materials.
- the surface layer of the Specimen is determined in particular by its height and inclination. The term height is understood here as the distance to the inspection system.
- Production control and quality inspection require accurate knowledge of the layers and surfaces produced.
- Various inspection procedures are used.
- the inspection procedures measure the material and structure parameters as well as the layer properties of the top or several top layers.
- a number of these methods require very precise control of the distance of the surface from the inspection system and the inclination of the surface at the inspection site against characteristic axes of the inspection system.
- Examples of methods that process information about the distance and inclination of the sample to the measuring head are ellipsometry, scatterometry, reflectometry, optical inspection, other electromagnetic radiation inspection and ultrasonic sensors.
- the measurement signals generated by these methods depend not only on the actual measured variable but also on the two mentioned external parameters. All methods require an even sample relative to the normal axis of the inspection system.
- the requirements for the inclination for ellipsometry, reflectometry and scatterometry are particularly high.
- the procedures immediately above the inspection site require a lot of space for the inspection equipment.
- optics with large opening angles are used, which already require large diameters close to the sample surface.
- the spatial conditions limit the possibilities for determining the distance and inclination of the sample at the point of inspection.
- scatterometry the response signal of a light beam irradiated at different angles is analyzed. Additionally or alternatively, light of different wavelengths can be used. By a model calculation, the structure parameters are matched with the response signal.
- the measurements require the use of large aperture optics for good resolution and reproducibility. This means that the light is radiated as flat as possible inclined to the sample surface. Devices for accurately determining the distance from the sample as well as the slope also require a large aperture. The arrangements can usually not be made or only with impairment of the measurement in the same optics as the measuring optics.
- Autofocus systems which image one or more laser beams through the observation lens of the inspection system or an additional lens on the sample.
- the radiation is arranged outside the optical axis. They are reflected on the surface of the sample and passed through the same objective lens back to a spatially resolved detector.
- a spatially resolving detector is for example a CCD line.
- the returning radiation then runs corresponding mirror-symmetrical to the optical lens axis.
- they generate a signal at a defined position.
- a specific position corresponds exactly to the focal position defined by the distance between the objective and the sample surface, at which the sample lies in the focus of the optics. A different distance leads to a corresponding shift of the signal on the CCD line.
- the focus position can be readjusted.
- the mirrored line pattern is analyzed for its contrast. The position with the highest contrast indicates the focus position.
- the radiation is guided through the imaging optics of the inspection system. It is therefore necessary to turn on and off additional elements in the beam path. The elements can disturb the actual measurement.
- the radiation source and the detector are located outside the area between the inspection device and the surface to be inspected required for the inspection.
- the arrangement according to the invention is based on the recognition that the position of the beam reflected on the surface changes on the detector when the surface of the object is tilted or the height is changed.
- the detector detects the beam in an area with a greater distance to the surface when the sample is raised or tilted in the direction of the radiation source. If the sample is lowered or tilted in the direction of the detector, the detected beam moves on the Detector surface, however, in the direction of the surface to be examined. If the sample is tilted to the left around the projected axis of the radiation source - detector connection line, the beam on the detector also moves to the left. The same applies to inclination to the right.
- the position of the beam reflected on the surface to be examined on the detector is thus a measure of the distance or inclination of the surface to be examined.
- suitable calibration absolute values can be determined.
- the method makes use of the possibility to measure with remote devices, namely radiation source and detector close to the inspection point.
- remote devices namely radiation source and detector close to the inspection point.
- two radiation sources are provided at different positions, each with an associated detector.
- the radiation sources with the associated detector can be arranged in particular in a crossed arrangement to each other.
- the use of two independent measurements allows the simultaneous determination of the height and inclination of the surface of the object.
- the angle formed by the two beam paths can be, for example, a right angle.
- the radiation sources each radiate a collimated beam at a shallow angle to the surface to be examined.
- the point of impact is chosen so that the appearance of the inspection system is not disturbed in its tasks.
- the impact point is therefore preferably slightly off the current inspection site. It is neither necessary for the idea of the invention that both beams strike the surface to be examined at the same point.
- the irradiation angles do not have to be identical either.
- the rays are reflected at the surface to be examined.
- the reflected beams are detected by the associated detectors.
- a beam reflected from an elevationally displaced or inclined surface will strike at one another location of the spatially resolving detector and thus signals the changed position of the surface to be examined.
- any inclination of the sample will always lead to a lateral offset of the impact point on at least one of the two detectors. This is because the two projected connection lines radiation source detector each define a theoretical axis of rotation. Since these two axes of rotation are not parallel to one another due to the angled arrangement, the sample can not produce any lateral deflection of the reflected beam with respect to both axes unless it is aligned exactly horizontally.
- Means may be provided for determining the height and / or inclination of the surface to be examined from the position of the reflected beam on the detector.
- these means may comprise a computer which calculates absolute values from the measured values.
- the distance between a point on the surface to be examined and a defined point on the inspection arrangement can be determined by means of a suitable computer program or by comparison with a calibration curve. It can be determined in a similar manner, the inclination of the surface to be examined against the horizontal or the like.
- the holder or object may be movably disposed in the holder, and the inclination and / or height of the surface to be examined may be adjustable, such that a desired value of the position of the reflected beam on the detector is reached. For some applications an absolute determination of the height or inclination is not necessary. It is sufficient if the position of the surface is regulated to a nominal value. This setpoint can be defined by a point on the detector surface or the detector surfaces. The position of the object is then tracked so that the setpoint is maintained during the inspection.
- the angle at which the radiation from the radiation source is directed onto the surface to be examined is in the range of 45 ° to 85 ° to the surface normal to the surface to be examined.
- the beam hits very flat - for example almost horizontal - on a horizontal surface.
- Radiation sources and detectors can be placed outside of this gap and do not disturb the actual inspection of the surface.
- the radiation source can be designed differently depending on the application and depending on the economic efficiency. It can be formed by a laser with a well-collimated beam, for example a laser diode or by a LED provided with a co-optics, or by a radiation source with an extended wavelength spectrum with which interferences to recurring structures of the surface to be examined can be detected.
- the diffraction of the beam at this lattice and the resulting splitting into partial beams of the diffraction orders must be taken into account. This can be achieved by various measures.
- a white light source or a source with a sufficiently broad wavelength spectrum can be used instead of a monochromatic light.
- an intensity distribution is generated on the detector in the form of an interferogram. The highest maximum is formed by the zeroth order of diffraction, since all colors of the light contribute here.
- the other maxima of the diffraction are for each wavelength at a different location on the detector and therefore form a total more or less flat background.
- the detector may be formed by a charge-coupled device (CCD), a CMOS, or other high spatial resolution area detector, or the detector includes position sensitive photodiodes or quadrant diodes.
- CCD charge-coupled device
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- the detectors used are preferably electro-optical surface cameras which record a high-resolution image of the reflected beam profile corresponding to the respective application requirement. By known image processing algorithms can determine the focus of the recorded beam image and read so the local position of the beam center very accurately.
- Quadrant diodes are an array of four photodiodes.
- Position-sensitive photodiodes are large-area photodiodes in which the center of gravity of the signal is determined by a generated voltage difference of the signals picked up at the edges of the active surface.
- a retroreflector a retroreflective sheeting or another reflector
- the radiation generated by the radiation source can be conducted repeatedly over the surface to be examined.
- two or three reflective surfaces or a totally reflecting prism may be provided. This can increase the resolution of the arrangement.
- the retroreflector is placed on the opposite side of the radiation source. Retroreflectors are arrangements of two or three reflective surfaces that reflect incoming light in its direction of incidence. In contrast to simple reflectors, such as a plane mirror, a parallel offset is generated.
- the reflecting surfaces can be formed by mirrors as well as by prisms with total reflection. The reflective surfaces are usually perpendicular to each other.
- a retroreflector with only two surfaces acts retroreflective only in one plane perpendicular to the two mirror planes.
- the reflective surfaces are arranged in the form of a cube corner.
- the surfaces produce retroreflection over the entire range of angles of incidence.
- a two-plane retroreflector can be effectively used as long as the mirror surfaces are aligned perpendicular to the vertical plane of the emitted beam from the radiation source.
- the rays After the first reflection on the sample, the rays still have a comparatively small distance. If the rays are now directed back to the surface to be examined with the retroreflector and reflected there again, the returning rays at the detector are at a greater distance. The sensitivity of the arrangement was thus doubled compared to simple reflection. It is understood that additional retroreflectors can be used to form the test beam to send back and forth several times and thus to reflect several times on the surface to be examined. This further increases the resolution. It is not necessary that the reflection sites on the surface to be examined are identical. The reflection locations can be selected in a targeted manner by choosing angles deviating from 90 ° between the mirror surfaces of the retroreflector.
- the detector surface is arranged such that the detected radiation forms an angle with the surface normal of the detector surface.
- the resolution and thus the sensitivity of the arrangement can be further increased.
- the flatter the reflected beam falls on the detector surface the more the altitude signal or the signal of the inclination of the sample is amplified.
- the beam profile is suitably adapted by suitable optics at the radiation source.
- the radiation source generates polarized light and an analyzer is arranged in front of the detector.
- Modulation means may also be provided for modulating the intensity of the radiation source.
- the arrangement, in particular the inspection measurement less sensitive to stray light can be made and corrected against external influences.
- Such techniques are known in the art of reflection light scanners and may also be combined with the present method.
- the assembly may be utilized in an inspection method for inspecting an at least partially reflective surface of a wafer or other object with an inspection assembly spaced apart in the area in front of the surface to be inspected, wherein the distance and / or inclination of the surface to the inspection assembly is determined by the steps

- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the arrangement of FIG. 1.

- the inspection assembly 10 utilizes one of the methods ellipsometry, scatterometry, reflectometry, optical inspection, other electromagnetic radiation inspection, and ultrasonic sensor technology. However, the inspection arrangement can also use a photolithographic method.
- the wafer 12 rests on a holder, not shown. The holder is designed such that the wafer can thus be moved in height and in terms of inclination and equipped with a suitable motion control.
- the wafer 12 and any other object to be inspected is generally a flat disk having a relatively planar surface 14.
- a distance between the surface 14 and a selected plane of the inspection assembly 10 can be well defined. This corresponds in the present arrangement with horizontally arranged wafer to the height of the wafer.
- the inclination of the surface 14 can be defined, for example, with respect to the horizontal.
- the above-mentioned methods of inspection assembly are sensitive to the height and inclination of the wafer.
- a measuring arrangement for determining the height and the inclination of the surface is provided.
- the measuring arrangement comprises a diode laser 18 as a radiation source.
- the diode laser 18 emits a well-collimated laser beam 20.
- the laser beam 20 strikes the surface 14 of the wafer 12 at a shallow angle.
- the angle ⁇ of the laser beam with respect to the surface normal of the surface 14 is approximately 80 °. It can be seen that the beam 20 passes well through the gap 16 between the inspection assembly 10 and the wafer surface 14 at this angle.
- the laser diode 18 with the associated control and supply devices is arranged far outside the region 16.
- the wafer surface 14 is reflective.
- the laser beam 20 is therefore reflected at a point 22 on the surface 14.
- the impact point on the sample is chosen so that the inspection assembly 10 is not disturbed in its tasks, i. slightly off the current inspection site.
- the reflected beam, designated 24, impinges outside the region 16 on a CCD camera 26 having a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns.
- the reflected laser beam 24 strikes the CCD camera 26 approximately centrally. This point is denoted by 28 and describes a target position for the impact position.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the case in which the distance is slightly greater and the wafer occupies the position designated by 30. It can be seen that the laser beam 20 impinges on the wafer surface 14 only at point 32. The dashed illustrated, reflected beam 34 then hits the point 36 on the detector. From the deviation of the actual position at the point 36 and the desired position at the point 28, the deviation from the focus position of the wafer 12 can now be determined. In the present embodiment, the holder controlled so that the wafer assumes its desired position and the tracking beam 24 impinges at the point 28 on the detector 26.
- Figure 2 shows a plan view of the arrangement of Figure 1. It can be seen that two diode lasers 18 and 38 are provided with the associated CCD cameras 26 and 40. The diode lasers 18 and 38 are arranged such that the laser beams 20 and 42 cross each other in the measuring range. It is not necessary for both beams to hit the wafer surface at the same point, nor must the angles of incidence be exactly the same. By using two laser beams 20 and 42, the inclination of the wafer surface 14 can be detected in addition to the distance.
- the wafer surface 14 is inclined about an axis which corresponds to the projection of the connecting axis between the laser diode 38 and the CCD camera 40 on the wafer surface 14. This is represented by an arrow 44. Due to the inclination both laser beams are deflected in different ways. The deviation from the nominal value is greater at the detector 40 than at the detector 26. From the deflection, the inclination relative to the horizontal can be determined. As with the distance, the holder can be controlled such that the wafer assumes a desired position.
- FIG. 3 shows the case of a wafer 58 inclined to a horizontal wafer 12 from the side.
- the inclined wafer 58 is shown in dashed lines. It will be appreciated that while the laser beam 20 is reflected at the same location 22 on the wafer surface 14, but at a different angle. This causes the deflected beam 50 to impinge further up the detector 26. A tilt in the other direction correspondingly causes the beam 50 to impinge further down the detector 26.
- Figure 4 shows an arrangement according to an alternative embodiment with increased resolution.
- the arrangement is identical to the arrangement of Figure 1.
- the detector 126 is not disposed opposite to the radiation source 118, but on the same side.
- the beam 120 generated by the laser diode 118 is reflected at the wafer surface 122 at point 124.
- the reflected beam 126 hits a retroreflector 128 with two plane mirrors. There, the beam 126 is offset reflected back.
- the back-reflected beam 130 again strikes the wafer surface 122 at point 132.
- the point 132 is at a different location than the point 124 due to the beam offset.
- the beam 134 reflected from the wafer surface eventually strikes the detector 126 at point 136.
- the beam path changes.
- the wafer surface with a greater distance is shown by dashed lines in FIG. 4 and denoted by 138. It can be seen that the beam 120 is reflected at another point on the wafer surface, namely at 140. After passing through the retroreflector 128, the beam 142 hits the wafer again and at point 144 the detector. It is easily understood that the offset produced by the change in distance of the impact point 136 on the detector with retroreflector 128 is greater than without. In this way, the resolution of the measuring arrangement and thus the sensitivity is increased.
- FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the sensitivity of the arrangement was increased by tilting the detector 226 such that there is an angle between the surface normal of the detector surface and the incident beam 228.
- the distance between the points of impact at the detector between the beams 224 and 228 when the detector is inclined - here denoted 230 - is greater than the distance 232 in the vertically arranged detector 26 shown in dashed lines. Since the image of the beam 220 or 228 causes an increase in the ellipticity of the beam profile on an inclined detector surface, a suitable optics for beam adjustment is provided in front of the laser diode (not shown).
