Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a method for detecting the degree of plasma damage. Background technique
[0002] In the current field of semiconductor technology, the plasma process has become an indispensable part in the manufacture of metal oxide semiconductors (Mental Oxide Semiconductor, MOS transistor). It has many advantages, such as good directivity, low realization temperature, and simple process steps. However, in the plasma process, it is often accompanied by the bombardment of high-energy particles and photons. These radiations include ions, electrons, ultraviolet rays and weak X-rays. When high-energy particles hit the surface of the MOS transistor, it will have a negative impact on the performance of the chip. One of the common irreversible damages is the electrostatic breakdown phenomenon caused by the accumulation of ion charges, which is usually called plasma induce damage (PID). Such ...
