Problems solved by technology

[0004] Since the wafers that have been used once will be sent out for recycling, on the one hand, it not only means that a higher recycling fee is required, but on the other hand, a large number of wafers are required to be kept in the factory for backup.

Embodiment 1

[0028] Specifically, image 3 A flow chart of the off-line monitoring method for NDC films according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is schematically shown.

[0029] Such as image 3 shown, combined with Figure 5 , the off-line monitoring method for NDC film according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention comprises:

[0030] In the first step S1 , a protective layer 200 and an adhesive layer 300 are sequentially grown on the monitor wafer 100 from bottom to top.

[0031] Wherein, the protective layer 200 is formed by the silicon oxide thin film material by PECVD method, and the formed thickness is If the protective layer is too thin, the silicon chip cannot be protected; if the protective layer is too thick, it will easily cause waste of materials and increase the cost. The silicon chip mentioned here is the monitor wafer 100 . The material used for the adhesive layer 300 is tantalum nitride / tantalum (TaN / Ta), and the thickness of the adhesive layer 300 form...

Abstract

The invention provides an off-line monitoring method for NDC thin films. The off-line monitoring method comprises the steps that firstly, a protection layer and a bonding layer are developed on a monitoring wafer in sequence; secondly, after a copper layer is developed on the bonding layer, one NDC thin film is developed on the copper layer, an optical measuring machine is used for testing the NDC thin film to monitor the parameters of the NDC thin film; thirdly, a copper layer is developed on the NDC thin film formed in the second step, one NDC thin film is developed on the newly formed copper layer, and the optical measuring machine is used for testing the new NDC thin film to monitor the parameters of the new NDC thin film; fourthly, the third step is repeatedly executed. The number of use times of the monitoring wafer is limited not to be more than five. By means of the off-line monitoring method, the monitoring wafer of the NDC thin films can be used many times continuously in a factory, the number of recycling times of the monitoring wafer of the NDC thin films is reduced, and the usage amount of the monitoring wafer of the NDC thin films is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, and in particular relates to an off-line monitoring method for NDC thin films. Background technique [0002] In recent years, nitrogen-doped silicon carbide (nitride doped silicon carbide, NDC) film is often used as a dielectric barrier layer at the back end of integrated circuits. The purpose is to use the dielectric barrier layer to prevent Cu from diffusing into the medium. Current methods for monitoring NDC films such as figure 1 with figure 2 As shown, the NDC film 20 is grown directly on the bare wafer 10 first, and then the NDC film 20 is tested with a corresponding optical measuring machine to monitor parameters such as the thickness and refractive index of the NDC film 20 . [0003] However, due to the very stable chemical properties of the NDC film 20, it is insoluble in strong acids. Although the NDC film 20 is soluble in strong alkali, the str...
