Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a characterization method of a test sample. The characterization method comprises the following steps: determining a target area in the test sample; wherein the target area comprises a first material layer and a second material layer, the first material layer comprises a first element, the second material layer comprises the first element, and the first material layer is different from the second material layer; performing first scanning on the target area to obtain a first scanning graph; determining a first energy interval of the first element according to the first scanning graph; performing second scanning on the target area according to the first energy interval to obtain a second scanning graph; wherein the numerical value of the energy resolution of the second scan is smaller than the numerical value of the energy resolution of the first scan; and determining the valence state of the first element in the first material layer and the valence state of the first element in the second material layer according to the second scanning map.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of material testing, and in particular, to a method for characterizing test samples. Background technique [0002] In microelectronic circuits, it is usually necessary to form metal wiring on a semiconductor structure to interconnect isolated components to form a desired circuit. In order to meet the requirements of the interconnection process, a metal interconnection material with a lower resistivity is generally used to achieve an ohmic contact with a lower resistance value with the semiconductor structure. [0003] The traditional metal interconnect material is aluminum. With the development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, metal interconnection structures made of aluminum have been gradually replaced by copper interconnection structures due to limitations such as signal delay. However, metallic copper (Cu) is easily oxidized to form metal oxides, resulting in increased resistance...
