Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of film deposition technology, and in particular to a film deposition quality analysis method and system based on CVD equipment. Background Art
[0002] Film deposition is a common technique in materials science and surface engineering used to form one or more thin films on the surface of a substrate. This technique is widely used in various fields, including electronics, optics, and biomedicine, to improve the performance of materials or achieve specific functions. There are many methods for film deposition, including PVD and CVD. CVD is a technique for forming a thin film on the surface of a substrate through a chemical reaction.
[0003] Existing improvements in the analysis of film deposition quality usually analyze the film image, analyze the color of the pixels in the image and the uniformity of the pixels, and make a comprehensive judgment on the quality of the film based on the analysis results. Although this analysis method can judge the quality of the film from the image, in the process of film formation using multiple gaseous reactants, if the image of the film under the standard condition is basically the same as the image of the film without several gaseous reactants, the quality of the film cannot be judged only by judging the color and uniformity of the pixels in the image, resulting in problems caused by the quality judgment result not being consistent with the actual weight. For example, in the publication number CN1161 Patent application No. 30375A discloses a semiconductor thin film quality analysis method and system. The solution is to obtain an effective area in a thin film image and analyze the pixel values of the analysis points in the effective area, and judge the quality of the thin film based on the analysis results. Other improvements for film deposition quality analysis usually use polarized light obtained by splitting the light beam and polarizer to judge the film quality. The above method still cannot effectively analyze and judge the quality of the film when the surface of the film under standard conditions is basically the same as the surface of the film without several gaseous reactants. In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing film deposition quality analysis method. Summary of the invention

[0046] In the specific implementation process, in the actual installation process of the embedded camera, by installing it in the CVD equipment at a position where the sample can be photographed horizontally, the film formed on the surface of the sample in the CVD equipment can be effectively photographed, and the thickness of the film can be analyzed; in this embodiment, the purpose of rotating the camera lens is to rotate the image obtained by the shooting, so as to help directly overlap the image with the plane rectangular coordinate system in the subsequent analysis, thereby improving the overall analysis efficiency; for example, in a data analysis, the image obtained after the initial image is grayed and binarized can be referred to in FIG. Figure 3As shown, YX1 is a preliminary image after grayscale processing and binarization processing, XD1 is a horizontal reference line segment, XD2 is a reference vertical line, JD1 is an adjustment angle, and the degree of the adjustment angle is 50°. By establishing a horizontal adjustment coordinate system, it can be obtained that the horizontal reference line segment is in the second quadrant and the fourth quadrant of the horizontal adjustment coordinate system, then the rotation direction of the embedded camera is set to clockwise, and the rotation angle is set to 40°. Please refer to the image obtained after rotation as shown in YX2; in specific implementation, the purpose of rotating the camera lens is to keep the horizontal reference line segment horizontal, so as to help improve the overall analysis efficiency through regular image analysis in subsequent analysis; in the specific implementation process, binarization processing is an image processing technology, and the contour in the image is obtained by converting the pixel value of the image to 0 or 255.

[0049] The co-genetic mixing acquisition module is used to obtain multiple gaseous reactants mixed during the deposition of samples before the CVD equipment starts to deposit films on the samples, and to obtain the deposition thickness range and co-genetic mixing conditions using a mixing analysis method based on an embedded camera.
[0050] The co-generation mixing acquisition module includes a gaseous mixing analysis unit, which is equipped with a gaseous mixing analysis strategy. The gaseous mixing analysis strategy includes: before the CVD device starts to operate, multiple gaseous reactants mixed during the film deposition of the sample are recorded as gaseous reactants QF1 to gaseous reactants QF h ; Use the mixing analysis method to obtain the deposition thickness range and co-generation mixing ratio corresponding to the gaseous reactant QF;
[0051] In the specific implementation process, for example, when a CVD device is actually used to form a diamond film, the gaseous reactants QF1 to QFh are hydrogen, methane, nitrogen and oxygen; then through analysis, we can get gas combination types QZ1 to QZ n They are: hydrogen and methane, hydrogen and nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, methane and nitrogen, methane and oxygen, nitrogen and oxygen, hydrogen, methane and nitrogen, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, methane, nitrogen and oxygen, and hydrogen, methane, nitrogen and oxygen, and n is 10;
[0052] The mixed analysis method includes: obtaining the gaseous reactant QF1 to the gaseous reactant QF h All different combination types that can be combined are recorded as gas combination type QZ1 to gas combination type QZ n , where the number of gaseous reactants QF in any gaseous combination type QZ is less than or equal to h and greater than or equal to 2.
[0053] Create a table with T rows and Y columns, which is called the mixed analysis table. The top row of the mixed analysis table, except for the first cell, is filled with gas combination types QZ1 to QZ from left to right. n , except for the first cell in the leftmost column of the mixing analysis table, fill in all the mixing ratios that the CVD equipment can mix for the gaseous reactants from top to bottom; the cells where the row where the mixing ratio is located in the mixing analysis table coincides with the column where the gaseous combination type QZ is located are recorded as mixing cells;
[0054] In a specific implementation, for example, during a data acquisition, the CVD equipment can mix all the gaseous reactants in proportions of 30%, 60%, and 90%, respectively, and the gas combination types QZ1 to QZ n They are: hydrogen and methane, hydrogen and nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, methane and nitrogen, methane and oxygen, nitrogen and oxygen, hydrogen, methane and nitrogen, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, methane, nitrogen and oxygen, and hydrogen, methane, nitrogen and oxygen; the obtained mixed analysis table is shown in Table 1: Diamond film table;
[0055] Table 1: Diamond film table
[0056] Hydrogen and methane Hydrogen and nitrogen Hydrogen and oxygen Methane and nitrogen Methane and oxygen Nitrogen and oxygen Hydrogen, methane and nitrogen Hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen Methane, nitrogen and oxygen Hydrogen, methane, nitrogen and oxygen 30% (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) 60% (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) 90% (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form) (Mixed form)
[0057] Meanwhile, Table 1: Diamond film table corresponding to T and Y are 4 and 11 respectively;
[0058] For any mixed cell in the mixed analysis table, the gas combination type QZ corresponding to the column where the mixed cell is located is recorded as the mixed type, and the mixing ratio corresponding to the row where the mixed cell is located is recorded as the combination ratio; the sample is placed in the CVD device, and all gaseous reactants QF of the mixed type are introduced into the CVD device in the combination ratio; when the film deposition process of the CVD device is completed and the sample is cooled, the embedded camera in the CVD device is used to shoot, and the obtained image is recorded as the interval analysis image; the interval analysis image is grayed, and the sample corresponding to the grayed interval analysis image is obtained based on the binarization and the preliminary sample contour. A horizontal reference line segment within the contour, and the contour where the horizontal reference line segment is located except the contour corresponding to the sample is recorded as the film contour; a plane rectangular coordinate system is established, recorded as the interval analysis coordinate system, wherein the units of the X-axis and the Y-axis of the interval analysis coordinate system are both micrometers; the horizontal reference line segment is overlapped with the X-axis, and the left end point of the horizontal reference line segment is overlapped with the coordinate origin, and based on the positional relationship between the film contour and the horizontal reference line segment, the film contour is drawn in the interval analysis coordinate system, wherein the film contour is in the fourth quadrant of the interval analysis coordinate system; the maximum and minimum values of the absolute values of the ordinates in the points corresponding to the film contour are obtained, recorded as BM respectively max and BM min , will [BM min , B.M. max ] is recorded as the deposition thickness interval corresponding to the mixed grid.
[0059] Refer to the interval analysis coordinate system based on the mixing type and combination ratio corresponding to a mixed grid. Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal coordinate of point ZD1 is the length of the horizontal reference line segment, and the absolute value of the vertical coordinate corresponding to point ZD2 is BM min , the absolute value of the ordinate corresponding to point ZD3 is BM max , the contour corresponding to LK1 is the contour of the sample, and the curve corresponding to LK2 is the thin film contour; by obtaining the deposition thickness range, the thickness range of the thin film caused by the film formation that may occur when all gaseous reactants are mixed during film deposition can be obtained, which is conducive to the effective judgment of the film quality when the film thickness under standard conditions is basically consistent with the film thickness when several gaseous reactants are missing in subsequent analysis;
[0060] Obtain the sediment thickness intervals corresponding to all mixed cells in the mixed analysis table;
[0061] Obtain the thickness range of the film on the sample surface after the sample is deposited by CVD equipment under standard conditions, recorded as [BQ min , BQ max], the maximum error between the actual thickness of the thin film on the surface of the sample and the ideal thickness after the sample is deposited by CVD equipment under standard conditions is recorded as the thickness error, where the standard condition is the condition with correct parameters and operating procedures.
[0062] For example, in a deposition process of a diamond film, the obtained [BQ min , BQ max ] is [10.1 μm, 11 μm], and the maximum error between the actual thickness of the diamond film and the ideal thickness after the sample is deposited by CVD equipment under standard conditions is 1 μm; then for a mixed grid in actual analysis, the [BM min , B.M. max ] is [10 microns, 10.5 microns], then the BM corresponding to the mixed grid can be obtained by analysis min With BQ min When the absolute value of the difference is less than 1 micron and the absolute value of the difference between BMmax and BQmax corresponding to the mixed cell is less than 1 micron, the mixed cell is recorded as a co-generated mixed cell; when the mixed cell is recorded as a co-generated mixed cell, it means that when the mixed type and combination ratio corresponding to the mixed cell are deposited in the CVD equipment, the thickness of the film produced is basically consistent with the actual diamond film, which is easy to mislead the quality judgment;
[0063] For any mixed grid, when the BM corresponding to the mixed grid min With BQ min When the absolute value of the difference is less than or equal to the thickness error and the absolute value of the difference between BMmax and BQmax corresponding to the mixed cell is less than or equal to the thickness error, the mixed cell is recorded as a co-generated mixed cell, and the mixing type corresponding to the mixed cell is recorded as a co-generated mixing situation; obtain all co-generated mixed cells and co-generated mixing situations in the mixing analysis table.
[0064] The quality judgment module is used to judge the quality of the film deposition based on the co-generation mixing situation after the CVD equipment starts to run and performs film deposition on the sample.
[0065] The quality judgment module includes a film quality judgment unit, which is configured with a film quality judgment strategy. The film quality judgment strategy includes: after the CVD device starts to deposit a film on the sample, when the process is completed and the thickness of the film is within the standard range, obtaining gaseous reactants QF1 to gaseous reactants QF h Gas consumption, any gaseous reactant QF h1 The gas consumption is less than the gaseous reactant QF after film deposition by CVD equipment under standard conditions. h1 When the gas consumption is h1Record it as the missing reactant; record all the gaseous reactants QF other than the missing reactants in the gaseous reactants QF as the reactants to be determined.
[0066] In the film deposition process of a diamond film, the gaseous reactants QF are hydrogen, methane, nitrogen and oxygen; after the VD device starts to deposit the film on the sample and the process ends and the sample is cooled, the gas consumption of oxygen is less than the gas consumption of oxygen after the film deposition by the CVD device under the standard condition, then oxygen is recorded as the missing reactant; hydrogen, methane and nitrogen are recorded as the reactants to be determined; when there is a co-generation mixing grid with hydrogen and methane as the co-generation mixing situation, that is, all the gaseous reactants QF corresponding to the co-generation mixing situation of the co-generation mixing grid are the reactants to be determined, then because the generated diamond film may be a film generated only by the reaction of the introduced hydrogen and methane, which does not conform to the actual standard situation, the film deposition quality of the sample is recorded as low-quality film deposition;
[0067] When all gaseous reactants QF corresponding to the co-generation mixing situation of any co-generation mixing grid are reactants to be judged, the film deposition quality of the sample is recorded as low-quality film deposition;
[0068] When there is no missing reactant in the gaseous reactant QF, the film deposition quality of the sample is recorded as high-quality film deposition; when there is no missing reactant in the gaseous reactant QF, it means that all gaseous reactants QF are fully reacted and the corresponding film is formed, so the film deposition quality should be recorded as high-quality film deposition;
[0069] When there are missing reactants in the gaseous reactant QF and all the gaseous reactants QF corresponding to the co-generation mixing situation where there is no co-generation mixing grid are reactants to be judged, the film deposition quality of the sample is recorded as conventional quality film deposition; in the specific implementation process, when there are missing reactants in the gaseous reactant QF and all the gaseous reactants QF corresponding to the co-generation mixing situation where there is no co-generation mixing grid are reactants to be judged, it means that only part of the gaseous reactants are not completely reacted in this film deposition, but the generated film thickness is relatively standard. At this time, the quality of the film deposition is average, so the film deposition quality can be recorded as conventional quality film deposition.

[0072] Step S102, record the acute angle of the angle between the reference vertical line and the horizontal reference line segment as the adjustment residual angle; take the reference midpoint as the coordinate origin, the straight line where the reference vertical line is located as the Y axis, and make a plane rectangular coordinate system, which is recorded as the horizontal adjustment coordinate system; when the horizontal reference line segment is in the first quadrant and the third quadrant of the horizontal adjustment coordinate system, set the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the embedded camera to counterclockwise and 90°-k° respectively; when the horizontal reference line segment is in the second quadrant and the fourth quadrant of the horizontal adjustment coordinate system, set the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the embedded camera to clockwise and 90°-k° respectively, wherein k° is the adjustment residual angle, and the direction corresponding to the rotation direction is from the camera to the sample;
[0073] Step S103: rotating the lens of the embedded camera based on the rotation direction and rotation angle of the embedded camera.
[0074] Step S2, before the CVD equipment starts to deposit a film on the sample, multiple gaseous reactants mixed when the sample is deposited are obtained, and a mixed analysis method based on an embedded camera is used to obtain a deposition thickness range and a co-mixing condition.
