Abstract

A method for removing pollutants on the surface of a standard wafer, the surface of the standard wafer has a film layer, the standard wafer is baked at a temperature of 50°C to 350°C, and the pollutant particles on the surface of the standard wafer can be removed, Hold the film thickness measurements on the standard wafer to stabilize. The present invention also provides a method for calibrating the film thickness measurement equipment, which can ensure the accuracy and stability of the measurement results by eliminating the influence of the change of the standard wafer thickness on the test results, and is also conducive to the detection and detection of the film layer measurement Device performance changes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to semiconductor technology, in particular to a method for removing pollutants on the surface of a standard wafer and a calibration method for thickness measuring equipment. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the semiconductor industry, the semiconductor manufacturing process has entered the nanometer era. In order to adapt to the trend of smaller and smaller electronic products and stronger functions, the line width in the semiconductor process has also been developed from the original 0.18 micron to the present. The 0.13 micron or even 90nm process. Along with the trend of chip functions becoming more powerful and components becoming smaller and smaller, the technical requirements for various links in the process are getting higher and higher. As the components are getting smaller and the internal circuits are getting more and more complex, the process is more sensitive to subtle changes in various...
