Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dislocation measurement, and in particular, to a method for measuring dislocation density, a dislocation density counting device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. Background Art
[0002] "Dislocation" can also be called a slip dislocation. In materials science, it refers to an internal microscopic defect in a crystalline material, that is, a local irregular arrangement of atoms (crystallographic defect). Geometrically, a dislocation can be regarded as the boundary line between the slipped part and the unslipped part in a crystal, and its existence has a great impact on the physical properties of the material.
[0003] In particular, during the semiconductor manufacturing process, the generation of dislocations is inevitable, but dislocations will affect the migration of carriers, and thus directly affect the quality of semiconductors, epitaxial layers, and devices. Therefore, accurately obtaining the dislocation density is of great significance for product quality control.
[0004] In the traditional method for measuring dislocation density, after etching the wafer, a microscope is used to manually count the etch pits in the image area, and finally the etch pit density (EPD) is calculated. This method has the following disadvantages: the manual counting workload is large, the area to be counted on a single wafer is too large, which is time-consuming and laborious; the human factor is large, and situations such as missing counts, wrong counts, and duplicate counts often occur; as a result, the final dislocation density is greatly different from the actual value. In addition, due to manual counting, this method is often only applicable to the case of low dislocation density and small-sized wafers.
[0005] Currently, some new methods for measuring dislocation density have been developed. For example, Chinese Patent Application CN102721697A discloses a method and a detection system for detecting dislocations in crystalline silicon. This method performs optical imaging on the etched crystalline silicon, and based on the relationship between the gray pixel ratio of the etch pits and the dislocation density value, the dislocation density of the sample to be measured is obtained. However, this method requires a crystalline silicon standard sample to establish the relationship between the gray pixel ratio of the etch pits and the dislocation density value, and different relationships need to be established for different series of samples. In addition, this method only considers the gray pixel factor of the image and does not consider the actual shape of the etch pits. For example, long strip-shaped scratches will also be recognized as etch pits due to the gray level of the image, but scratches do not belong to etch pits.
[0006] Chinese Patent Application CN107356606A discloses a method for detecting the dislocation density of a semiconductor wafer. This method determines whether it is an effective etch pit by calculating the ratio a of the opening size L to the depth H of the etch pit. This method requires the establishment of a three-dimensional image of the etch pit, and the required device is complex; in addition, this method does not give an effective detection method for severely overlapping etch pits.
[0007] Chinese Patent Application CN1896727A discloses a method for detecting the types and densities of defects in GaN single crystals. This method needs to combine Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) for judgment. The testing instruments for such data are expensive and the operation is complex. In addition, this method requires using Photoshop to segment the SEM image, printing it and then manually counting to obtain the number of etch pits, and finally obtaining the dislocation density. This method is also time-consuming and laborious, and is not conducive to large-scale industrial use.
[0008] It can be seen that there are still problems in the industrialization of detecting and counting the dislocation density of wafers; providing a simple, automated method for measuring dislocation density that can identify overlapping etch pits is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0009] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method for measuring dislocation density, a dislocation density counting device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium to solve the problem of inaccurate measurement of dislocation density.

[0020] Perform contour detection on the black shape in the acquired image to obtain the contour area S and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangle of the black shape;
[0021] Based on the relationship between the contour area S and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangle of the black shape and the average area value S0 and the aspect ratio R0 of the long and short sides of the average bounding rectangle, determine the number of corrosion pits of the black shape to determine the total number of corrosion pits in the acquired image; and
[0022] Calculate the dislocation density of the measurement object based on the total number of corrosion pits in the acquired image and the total area of the acquired image.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, by comparing the contour area and the aspect ratio of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangle of the black shapes in the image with the average area value and the average aspect ratio of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangle of a single etch pit, it is determined how many etch pits each black shape corresponds to. This embodiment can effectively determine how many etch pits are contained in the overlapping area of the etch pits, so as to accurately count the total number of etch pits. In addition, through the cold white light source within the above range, the color rendering index can be higher and the image can be clearer, which can effectively help to distinguish the background from the etch pits and facilitate the identification of the etch pits.

The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0056] If steps are recited in order in this specification or claims, this does not necessarily mean that the embodiment or aspect is limited to the recited order. On the contrary, it is conceivable that the steps can be performed in a different order or in parallel with each other, unless one step is based on another step, in which case the step that is absolutely required to be established must be performed subsequently (however, this will become clear in individual cases). Therefore, the recited order can be a preferred embodiment.
[0057] The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for measuring dislocation density, the method comprising:
[0058] Obtaining an image of the measurement object;
[0059] According to preset corrosion pit screening conditions, detecting corrosion pits in the obtained image, and statistically calculating the average area value S0 of a single corrosion pit and the aspect ratio R0 of the long and short sides of the average bounding rectangle in the obtained image;
[0060] Performing contour detection on the black shapes in the obtained image to obtain the contour area S and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangle of the black shapes;
[0061] Based on the relationship between the contour area S and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangle of the black shapes and the average area value S0 and the aspect ratio R0 of the long and short sides of the average bounding rectangle, determining the number of corrosion pits of the black shapes to determine the total number of corrosion pits in the obtained image; and calculating the dislocation density of the measurement object based on the total number of corrosion pits in the obtained image and the total area of the obtained image.
[0062] In the above embodiments of the present invention, by comparing the contour area and the aspect ratio of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangle of the black shapes in the image with the average area value of a single corrosion pit and the aspect ratio of the long and short sides of the average bounding rectangle, it is determined how many corrosion pits each black shape corresponds to. This embodiment can effectively determine how many corrosion pits are included in the overlapping area of the corrosion pits, so that the total number of corrosion pits can be accurately counted.
[0063] In some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the step of determining the number of corrosion pits of the black shapes includes:
[0064] When And If so, record the number of corrosion pits of the black shape as 1, where k 10 and k 11 is the single corrosion pit filtering coefficient;
[0065] When and If so, record the number of corrosion pits of the black shape as 2, where k 21 is the two-overlapping corrosion pit filtering coefficient; and
[0066] When and If so, record the number of corrosion pits of the black shape as 3, where k 31 is the three-overlapping corrosion pit filtering coefficient. In some embodiments, k 21 = 2 * k 11 and k 31 = 3 * k 11 .
[0067] In the above embodiments, by setting the corrosion pit filtering coefficient, the number of overlapping corrosion pits is distinguished, non-corrosion pits (e.g., scratches, etc.) are excluded, the technical accuracy is improved, and the corrosion pit density information of the measurement object is truly reflected.
[0068] In some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the steps of determining the total number of corrosion pits in the acquired image include:
[0069] When the total number of corrosion pit overlapping regions in the acquired image exceeds a preset threshold or the acquired image contains multiple corrosion pit overlapping regions with more than 3 overlapping corrosion pits, calculate the total number of corrosion pits in the acquired image according to the following formula:
[0070] Total number of corrosion pits = total area of black shapes in the image / average area value S0 of a single corrosion pit.
[0071] In the above embodiments, when the number of corrosion pits is too large, for example, there are multiple corrosion pit overlapping regions or multiple corrosion pit regions with more than 3 overlapping corrosion pits, the overall statistical idea is adopted for counting; specifically, obtain the total area of all corrosion pits in the target image, and perform global statistical counting based on the total area, rather than counting according to the corrosion pit filtering conditions. In some embodiments, the preset threshold exceeded by the total number of corrosion pit overlapping regions in the acquired image is 10. This preset threshold is an empirical value obtained from a large number of tests, and different preset thresholds can be set for different test objects.
[0072] In some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the method obtains a plurality of images at a plurality of different positions of the measurement object, and counts the total number of corrosion pits in the plurality of images to calculate the dislocation density of the measurement object. In such an embodiment, the total number of corrosion pits at a plurality of different positions of the measurement object is counted, and the total number of corrosion pits is divided by the total area of these positions to obtain the dislocation density of the measurement object. This embodiment avoids the uneven distribution of dislocations in the measurement object, and extreme distributions may occur in a single image, resulting in inaccurate measurement.

In a preferred embodiment, the cold white light source is an LED cold white light source.
[0080] By using the cold white light source within the above range, the color rendering index can be higher and the image can be clearer, thereby effectively helping to distinguish the background from the corrosion pits and facilitating the identification of corrosion pits. Those skilled in the art can understand that the color temperature and color coordinates of the illumination light source can be controlled by instructions.
[0081] In some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the normal direction of the lens for acquiring the image is perpendicular to the surface of the measurement object.

The intersecting rectangle is the boundary rectangle, as shown in Figure 7-1 The boundary rectangle of the wafer is shown by the frame line. On the basis of determining the boundary rectangle, the ratio of the long side / short side of the rectangle is obtained, which is the aspect ratio of the boundary rectangle. If the selected wafer image has a certain inclination angle relative to the horizontal line, as shown in Figure 7-2 The formed boundary rectangle also has a certain inclination angle, but it does not affect the value of the aspect ratio of the boundary rectangle.

Similarly, Figure 7-3 shows etch pits with a regular hexagon-shaped contour, where the boundary rectangle of the wafer is shown by the frame line.
[0135] In some embodiments of the present invention, the etch pit filtering coefficient is obtained based on production big data. Specifically, the sizes of the etch pits of the same type of product are statistically analyzed to obtain the numerical range in which the etch pits of the product are located. Usually, the aspect ratio values of the boundary rectangles of the single etch pits in 1000 regions of product A are statistically analyzed. For example, the minimum value is 1.4, the maximum value is 1.7, and the object of this detection also belongs to product A, and the average aspect ratio of the boundary rectangle is 1.5. Then k 10 = 1.4 / 1.5 = 0.93, k 11 = 1.7 / 1.5 = 1.13. In addition, the etch pit filtering coefficient k 21 takes the value of k 11 *2, k 31 takes the value of k11 *3; thus, in this specific embodiment, k 21 = k 11 *2 = 2.26, k 31 = k 11 *3 = 3.39. It should be understood that the larger the amount of data used, the more accurate the obtained corrosion pit filtering coefficient; in some embodiments, the aspect ratio values of the long and short sides of the bounding rectangles of single corrosion pits in 1000 regions of 1000 A products can be statistically analyzed.
[0136] Subsequently, according to and the range of, determine the number of corrosion pits: when and the number of corrosion pits with black shapes is recorded as 1; when and at this time, the number of corrosion pits with black shapes is recorded as 2; when and at this time, the number of corrosion pits with black shapes is recorded as 3.
[0137] When the number of corrosion pits is too large, for example, there are a particularly large number of corrosion pit overlapping regions or multiple corrosion pit overlapping regions have more than 3 overlapping corrosion pits, at this time, the overall statistical idea is adopted for counting. That is: obtain the total area of all corrosion pits in the target image, and conduct global statistical counting based on the total area, rather than counting according to the corrosion pit filtering conditions. Specifically, the total number of corrosion pits = the total area of corrosion pits / the average area value S0 of a single corrosion pit. In the case of corrosion pit overlap - which means there are many corrosion pits in the field of view area, considering that the determination of the bounding rectangle can be adjusted according to the overlap situation, it is still possible to basically completely count all the corrosion pits in the wafer image.
[0138] In one embodiment of the present invention, when measuring S0 of a GaAs wafer, the screening condition for corrosion pits is set as non - overlapping contours, and the contour is a long octagon, as Figure 2 shown; when measuring S0 of an InP wafer, the screening condition for corrosion pits is set as non - overlapping circles, as Figure 3 shown; when measuring a GaN wafer, the screening condition for corrosion pits is set as non - overlapping regular hexagons, as Figure 4 shown. It should be understood that according to the different materials of the wafers, the shapes of the corrosion pits can be different. For example, the corrosion pits of GaAs wafers can be long octagons; the corrosion pits of InP wafers can be circles; the corrosion pits of SiC wafers can be regular hexagons or circles; the corrosion pits of GaN wafers and AlN wafers can be regular hexagons; the corrosion pits of InN wafers can be hexagons (2 short sides and 4 long sides); the corrosion pits of ZnO wafers can be hexagons; the corrosion pits of Ga2O3 wafers can be quadrilaterals, hexagons or long strips.
[0139] In the present invention, before image acquisition of a semiconductor wafer, the wafer needs to be preprocessed, and the preprocessing process is known to those skilled in the art. The preprocessing includes edge grinding and lapping of the wafer to form a wafer with a certain thickness, such as 2 - 3 inches (inches); then the saw marks are removed, and then the wafer is etched with an acidic or alkaline etching solution for a corrosion time to completely expose the dislocations or defects of the wafer, such as 10 - 25 minutes. It should be understood that different types of materials to be measured and different types of etchants require different corrosion times.

[0143] The support mechanism of the stage 20 and the support mechanism of the image acquisition device can be adjusted so that the normal direction of the lens 40 is perpendicular to the surface of the stage 20, which can ensure that the normal direction of the lens 40 is perpendicular to the surface of the semiconductor wafer carried on the surface of the stage 20; at the same time, the distance between the lens 40 and the surface of the stage 20 can be adjusted for convenient operation and obtaining the best detection results. For example, this distance can be between 5 - 55 cm, preferably 10 - 30 cm.
[0144] Figure 5The flowchart of method 500 for measuring dislocation density according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. As Figure 5 shown, through the Figure 1 dislocation density counting device shown in
[0145] Figure 6 In step 502, an image of the measurement object is acquired. After the image is acquired, in step 504, according to the preset corrosion pit screening conditions, the corrosion pits in the acquired image are detected, and the average area value S0 and the average aspect ratio R0 of the long and short sides of the boundary rectangle of a single corrosion pit in the acquired image are statistically calculated; in step 506, the contour of the black shape in the acquired image is detected, and the contour area S and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the boundary rectangle of the black shape are obtained. Then, in step 508, based on the relationship between the contour area S of the black shape and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the boundary rectangle and the average area value S0 and the average aspect ratio R0 of the long and short sides of the average boundary rectangle, the number of corrosion pits of the black shape is determined to determine the total number of corrosion pits in the acquired image. Finally, in step 510, based on the total number of corrosion pits in the acquired image and the total area of the acquired image, the dislocation density of the measurement object is calculated. Figure 6 shown, in step 602, the contour area S and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the boundary rectangle of a black shape in the acquired image are detected. Then, the relationship between the contour area S of the black shape and the aspect ratio R of the long and short sides of the boundary rectangle and the average area value S0 and the average aspect ratio R0 of the long and short sides of the average boundary rectangle is judged. In step 604, it is judged whether and are satisfied, where k 10 and k 11 are single corrosion pit filtering coefficients. If the conditions in step 604 are satisfied, it is counted that the black shape has 1 corrosion pit, step 606; otherwise, go to step 608. In step 608, it is judged whether and are satisfied, where k 21 is a two-overlapping corrosion pit filtering coefficient. If the conditions in step 608 are satisfied, it is counted that the black shape has 2 corrosion pits, step 610; otherwise, go to step 612. In step 612, it is judged whether and are satisfied, where k 31 is a three-overlapping corrosion pit filtering coefficient. If the conditions in step 612 are satisfied, it is counted that the black shape has 3 corrosion pits, step 614; otherwise, go to step 616. In step 616, it is judged whether or If the condition in step 616 is not satisfied, it is counted that the black shape has 0 corrosion pits, step 618; otherwise, go to step 620. In step 620, it is judged whether the condition If the condition in step 620 is satisfied, then for round up as the number of corrosion pits of the black shape, step 622; otherwise, go to step 624. In step 624, for round up as the number of corrosion pits of the black shape. After determining the number of corrosion pits of the black shape, in step 626, it is judged whether the number of black shapes with overlapping corrosion pits is greater than a preset threshold or whether there are multiple black shapes in the image with more than 3 overlapping corrosion pits. If the condition in step 626 is satisfied, the counting is no longer based on the corrosion pit filtering condition, but the global statistical counting is carried out based on the total area, where the total number of corrosion pits in the image = the total area of the black shapes in the image / the average area value S0, step 628. If the condition in step 626 is not satisfied, go to step 630, accumulate the number of corrosion pits in the image, and re-enter step 602 to determine the number of corrosion pits of the next black shape.
