Abstract

The invention provides a transmission electron microscope sample junction staining method, which comprises the following steps: a chip sample is processed until a contact hole is exposed; a first chemical reagent is used to remove a filler in the contact hole; a second chemical reagent is used to remove doped silicon in a junction below the contact hole; a filling protection layer is deposited on a sample preparation area; and an ion beam is utilized to cut two opposite lateral faces of a transmission electron microscope sample to form transmission electron microscope sample slices, wherein the ion beam doesn't directly cut Si in the sample preparation area but laterally maintains a predetermined thickness of SiO2 from the sample preparation area in allusion to each face.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated circuit analysis, and more specifically, the invention relates to a method for staining a sample of a transmission electron microscope. Background technique [0002] Transmission electron microscopes are widely used in various fields including integrated circuit analysis and are increasingly important, especially in the analysis of tiny defects, which play an irreplaceable role. [0003] There are many kinds of defects that can cause chip failure. Among them, the most difficult to analyze is the very tiny nanoscale doping anomaly. This type of defect cannot be observed by conventional analysis methods such as SEM and transmission electron microscope. At present, the only effective one is Junction staining method using transmission electron microscopy. [0004] The conventional sample preparation process for junction dyeing is to process the plane of the chip sample to be tested close to the target layer...
