Abstract

The invention discloses a measurement method of the step coverage ratio and loading effect of a thin film. The method comprises the following steps: a semiconductor substrate is provided; a testing zone is formed on the surface of the substrate; a dielectric thin film is deposited on the surface of the testing zone; the thickness of the thin film is measured through using an optical characteristic dimension measurement method; the step coverage ratio and the loading effect of the thin film are calculated through using the thickness. The method of the invention can measure the step coverage ratio and the loading effect of the thin film dielectric layer without damaging the wafer.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for measuring the step coverage and loading effect of a dielectric layer. Background technique [0002] With the progress of the semiconductor industry, the density of semiconductor devices continues to increase, circuit functions are becoming more and more complex, and the number and types of dielectric films in semiconductor devices have increased significantly. The quality of the dielectric film, such as thickness uniformity and step coverage, has gradually become the key to affecting device performance. Among the many dielectric film deposition technologies, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology is widely used. Most of the dielectric films are deposited by the CVD process. The CVD process involves mixing chemical substances containing atoms or molecules required by the dielectric film in a reaction chamber and reacting in a gaseous state...
