[0029] In semiconductor processes, operators operate semiconductor machines to form semiconductor structures. The formed semiconductor structures include various different semiconductor elements, transistors, or integrated integrated circuits.
[0030] One of the processes in semiconductor processes is to form thin films of different materials on a semiconductor wafer, and form semiconductor elements or integrated integrated circuits through the stacking and electrical connection of different thin films. In this regard, operators usually have to set the parameters of the semiconductor machine according to different products, working conditions, and environments.

[0031] Figure 1 A block diagram of a semiconductor structure manufacturing system 100 is shown according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0032] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the semiconductor structure manufacturing system 100 includes a semiconductor machine 110, a film thickness measurement unit 140, and a server 150.
[0033] In this embodiment, the semiconductor machine 110 includes a control interface 115, a thin film forming unit 120, a temperature control unit 125, a time control unit 130, and a processing area 135. The processing area 135 includes a plurality of sub-processing areas 136. The control interface 115 is connected to the processing area 135 through the thin film forming unit 120, the temperature control unit 125, and the time control unit 130.
[0034] In the semiconductor machine 110, the semiconductor wafers to be processed are placed in different sub-processing areas 136 in the processing area 135. In the semiconductor machine 110, the processing area 135 is, for example, a batch furnace, and the different sub-processing areas 136 are, for example, different zones in the furnace. According to different production product conditions, the semiconductor wafers to be processed are selected to be placed in different sub-processing areas 136.
[0035] Figure 1Only a processing area 135 is schematically illustrated, but this does not limit the number of processing areas 135 in the semiconductor machine 110. In some embodiments, the number of processing areas 135 may be one or more. It should be understood that Figure 1 The illustrated sub-processing areas 136 are only schematic, and do not limit the size of each sub-processing area 136, nor do they limit that the sub-processing areas 136 must be side by side.
[0036] In some embodiments, the semiconductor machine may also have multiple different furnace tubes as processing areas, and each furnace tube further includes one or more sub-processing areas.
[0037] In some embodiments, the volume sizes of different sub-processing areas 136 are different to accommodate different numbers of semiconductor wafers. For example, in some embodiments, when the number of semiconductor wafers required for the production product conditions is different, different-sized sub-processing areas 136 are selected to accommodate different numbers of semiconductor wafers.
[0038] When the semiconductor wafers to be processed are disposed in the respective sub-processing areas 136 of the semiconductor machine 110, different process control parameters can be implemented through the film forming unit 120, the temperature control unit 125, and the time control unit 130, so as to regulate the environment of the sub-processing areas 136. The process control parameters can be input through the control interface 115.
[0039] In some embodiments, the film forming unit 120 can form a film on the semiconductor wafer. For example, the film forming unit 120 can form a film by, for example, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or atomic layer deposition (ALD). The process conditions for the film forming unit 120 to form a film can be controlled by the temperature control unit 125 and the time control unit 130. The temperature control unit 125 can be used to control the temperature within the sub-processing area 136, and the time control unit 130 can be set to control the overall processing time of the film forming process. Through the control interface 115, different process control parameters can be input to the film forming unit 120, the temperature control unit 125, and the time control unit 130 respectively to control the overall film forming process.
[0040] Figure 1 The illustrated architecture of the semiconductor machine 110 is only schematic, and does not limit the aspect of the semiconductor machine of the present invention in this regard. In some embodiments, the semiconductor machine may be composed of different functional elements, but can also control the ambient temperature and the overall processing time when forming a film on the semiconductor wafer, which are also included in the present invention.
[0041] Such as Figure 1As shown, in the present embodiment, the semiconductor structure manufacturing system 100 is further provided with a film thickness measurement unit 140. After the semiconductor machine 110 forms a thin film on the semiconductor wafer, the film thickness of the thin film can be confirmed by the film thickness measurement unit 140.
[0042] In the present embodiment, the film thickness measurement unit 140 is connected to the semiconductor machine 110. In some embodiments, the film thickness measurement unit 140 can be directly disposed within the semiconductor machine 110.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Figure 2 A film thickness h of a semiconductor structure fabricated on a semiconductor wafer 200 is schematically illustrated according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the sub-processing region 136 of the semiconductor machine 110, the semiconductor structure formed on the semiconductor wafer 200 is as Figure 2 schematically illustrated.
[0044] As Figure 2 illustrated, a semiconductor pattern 210 is formed on the semiconductor wafer 200. Figure 2 The illustrated semiconductor pattern 210 is only schematic and does not limit the aspect of the semiconductor pattern on the semiconductor structure of the present invention.
[0045] After the semiconductor pattern 210 is formed on the semiconductor wafer 200 in the previous process, the semiconductor wafer 200 is placed in the sub-processing region 136 of the semiconductor machine 110 to form a thin film 220 on the semiconductor pattern 210 of the semiconductor wafer 200. In some embodiments, the semiconductor wafer 200 also includes other formed transistors, integrated integrated circuits, memory or memory cell arrays, or stacked redistribution layers or interconnect structures. In order to form a further structure in the subsequent process, a thin film 220 is formed in the sub-processing region 136 of the semiconductor machine 110.
[0046] Through the film thickness measurement unit 140, the film thickness h of the thin film 220 on the semiconductor pattern 210 can be measured. The film thickness measurement unit 140 can measure the film thickness h when the thin film 220 is formed, ensuring that the thin film formation and the film thickness measurement do not interfere with each other. In some embodiments, the film thickness measurement unit 140 can be directly integrated into the semiconductor machine 110 as a stage in the semiconductor machine 110 to measure the film thickness h with better efficiency when the thin film 220 is formed. In some embodiments, the film thickness measurement unit 140 can measure the film thickness h of the thin film 220 by an optical method.
[0047] It should be noted that Figure 2 the illustrated semiconductor wafer 200 can schematically represent a test structure for pre-production to collect relevant experimental data, or can schematically represent a formed semiconductor product.
[0048] Please return to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the semiconductor structure manufacturing system 100 includes a server 150. The server 150 is remotely connected to the semiconductor processing tool 110 and the film thickness measurement unit 140, which are shown by dashed lines in Figure 1 Thus, both the process parameters input through the control interface 115 of the semiconductor processing tool 110 and the film thickness h measured by the film thickness measurement unit 140 can be received by the server 150.
[0049] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the server 150 includes a big data database 153 and a data mining unit 156. The process parameters input through the control interface 115 and the film thickness h measured by the film thickness measurement unit 140 can both be stored in the big data database 153. Thus, the required process parameters can be obtained from the big data database 153 through the data mining unit 156.
[0050] Specifically, for the process of forming the thin film 220 on the semiconductor wafer 200 by the semiconductor processing tool 110, the operator needs to set the corresponding process parameters according to the product design parameters. For example, for the product to be produced, the product design parameters include the product type, the designed film thickness, or the number of wafers to be produced, so as to respectively pre-control the type of the semiconductor wafer 200, the desired ideal film thickness, or the number of semiconductor wafers 200 that must be processed at one time in the sub-processing area. For different product types, the operator needs to input the environmental temperature and processing time in the sub-processing area 136 through the control interface 115. However, depending on the semiconductor processing tool 110, the process parameters are not fixed and often need to be set by the operator according to the current situation. By collecting the input product design parameters and process parameters to the big data database 153 through the server 150, the process parameters to be input can be systematically obtained through the data mining unit 156.
[0051] In some embodiments, one or more semiconductor structures can be successively formed on the test semiconductor wafer. The same or different product design parameters are input into the semiconductor processing tool 110, and the process control parameters are manually input for test purposes to form the thin film through the operation of the semiconductor processing tool 110. The product design parameters, the process control parameters, and the film thickness h of the thin film 220 are all received by the server 150 and stored in the big data database 153. Through the data mining unit 156, the required process control parameters can be automatically obtained according to the input product design parameters.
[0052] In some embodiments, the data mining unit 156 obtains process control parameters, for example, by machine learning. For example, after a complete thin film formation process is completed, the film thickness of the formed thin film can be obtained. Thus, the input process control parameters (including the selected sub-processing area 136, temperature, and processing time) and the obtained film thickness can be collected. Accordingly, the data mining unit 156 obtains a learning model through machine learning. Thus, when the required film thickness is input into the learning model, the learning model can correspondingly output the process control parameters that should be input into the semiconductor machine 110.
[0053] Figure 3 A flowchart of a semiconductor structure manufacturing method 300 is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor structure manufacturing system 100 can implement the semiconductor structure manufacturing method 300 to systematically and automatically obtain the required process control parameters. In this embodiment, the semiconductor structure manufacturing method 300 includes processes 310 to 350. The semiconductor structure manufacturing method 300 first provides data to the big data database 153 of the server 150 through a test structure, and then obtains the required process control parameters through the data mining unit 156 of the server 150.
[0054] In process 310, product design parameters and process control parameters are input into the semiconductor machine 110 to form a test structure.
[0055] In some embodiments, the product design parameters include product type, design film thickness, or production quantity. The product type includes aspects of the semiconductor pattern 210 to be formed on the semiconductor wafer 200, the shape of the formed thin film 220, and so on. The design film thickness is the ideal film thickness of the thin film 220 determined according to requirements. However, due to different environments, the film thickness h of the formed thin film 220 is not necessarily the ideal film thickness. The production quantity corresponds to the number of semiconductor wafers 200 processed in a thin film formation process.
[0056] In some embodiments, the process control parameters include the selected sub-processing area 136, ambient temperature, and processing time. For example, for different production quantities, different sizes of sub-processing areas 136 in the processing area 135 are correspondingly selected. The ambient temperature corresponds to the temperature set in the selected sub-processing area 136. The processing time corresponds to the total duration of the thin film formation process.
[0057] After setting the product design parameters and process control parameters of the semiconductor machine 110 through the control interface 115, the semiconductor wafer 200 is placed in the selected sub-processing area 136 to form a test structure. Forming the test structure will include a predetermined semiconductor pattern 210 and a thin film 220, and the thin film 220 has a film thickness h, and the film thickness h may not be the ideal film thickness required by the product setting parameters.
[0058] In this way, a semiconductor test structure for testing can be formed, such as Figure 2 shown, having a semiconductor pattern 210, on which a thin film 220 is disposed.
[0059] Following process 310, in process 320, after the test structure is formed, the experimental film thickness information of the thin film 220 of the test structure is measured by the film thickness measurement unit 140. In this embodiment, the experimental film thickness information includes the film thickness h of the thin film 220 of the test structure.
[0060] In process 330, the input product design parameters, process control parameters, and film thickness control information are transmitted to the big data database 153 of the server 150. In some embodiments, the big data stored in the big data database 153 can establish a learning model through the data mining unit 156 to respond to the requests input by subsequent operators.
[0061] After collecting big data through the test structure, the operator can request the server 150 based on the required product design parameters to obtain the corresponding required process control parameters.
[0062] In some embodiments, processes 310 to 330 can be repeated multiple times to obtain multiple sets of experimental data for storage as big data. In some embodiments, the experimental film thickness information can also be obtained in the manner of processes 310 to 330 through the film thickness measurement unit 140 for general production processes and stored as big data.
[0063] In process 340, the operator requests the server 150 based on the product design parameters, and the data mining unit 156 of the server 150 outputs improved process control parameters according to the big data database 153 and based on the product design parameters. As described above, in some embodiments, the data mining unit 156 can establish a learning model according to the big data, so that when the operator makes a request, the product design parameters are input into the learning model to output improved process control parameters.
[0064] After the operator obtains the improved process control parameters, it enters process 350. The operator inputs the improved process control parameters through the control interface 115, and the semiconductor machine 110 will form a semiconductor structure according to the product design parameters and the improved process control parameters as the actual product to be produced. In this way, the film thickness h of the thin film 220 should be able to be closer to the set ideal film thickness.
[0065] To further illustrate the semiconductor structure manufacturing method 300 in detail, an embodiment is provided below, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0066] In process 310, the product design parameter settings include the product type, the designed film thickness, and the number of production pieces. The product type is related to the process selection of the film forming unit 120. The designed film thickness is recorded by the server 150. The number of production pieces is selected for the sub-processing area 136. The process control parameters are set to include the ambient temperature and the processing time of the selected sub-processing area 136. In a practical example, the product type of the product design parameters is product A, and the code of the selected sub-processing area 136 is BA; the ambient temperature of the process control parameters is T1 degrees Celsius, and the processing time is H1 hours. In this way, the first test structure is formed. In process 320, through the film thickness measurement unit 140, the film thickness hA of the first test structure is obtained. In process 330, the product type of product A, the code BA of the sub-processing area 136, the ambient temperature of TA degrees Celsius, the processing time of HA hours, and the film thickness hA are uploaded to the big data database 153 of the server 150.
[0067] As described above, processes 310 to 330 can be repeated one or more times to accumulate the big data stored in the big data database 153. For example, by repeating process 310, the product type of the product design parameters is product B, and the code of the selected sub-processing area 136 is BB; the ambient temperature of the process control parameters is TB degrees Celsius, and the processing time is HB hours. In this way, the second test structure is formed. In process 320, through the film thickness measurement unit 140, the film thickness hB of the second test structure is obtained. In process 330, the product type of product B, the code BB of the sub-processing area 136, the ambient temperature of TB degrees Celsius, the processing time of HB hours, and the film thickness hB are uploaded to the big data database 153 of the server 150.
[0068] Taking the implementation method where the data mining unit 156 mines big data through machine learning as an example, the data mining unit 156 trains a learning model based on the big data stored in the big data database 153. One piece of data in the big data includes: the product type of product A, the code BA of the sub-processing area 136, the ambient temperature of TA degrees Celsius, the processing time of HA hours, and the film thickness hA. Another piece of data in the big data includes: the product type of product B, the code BB of the sub-processing area 136, the ambient temperature of TB degrees Celsius, the processing time of HB hours, and the film thickness hB.
[0069] In this way, the data mining unit 156 establishes a learning model. After inputting the product type, designed film thickness, and selected sub - processing area 136 of the product design parameters, the data mining unit 156 outputs improved process control parameters according to the learning model, including the environmental temperature and processing time to be set. Thus, process 340 can be realized, and then process 350 is executed to form the required semiconductor structure. For example, when the input product type is product A, the code of the sub - processing area 136 is BA (corresponding to the number of wafers placed), and the designed film is input, the data mining unit 156 outputs that the processing time should be HA + C hours, with a correction of C hours; the output environmental temperature is TA + D degrees Celsius, with a correction of D degrees Celsius.
[0070] In summary, the semiconductor structure manufacturing method and the semiconductor structure manufacturing system provided by the present invention can automatically select the manufacturing parameters required for a semiconductor structure during manufacturing according to big data, thereby intelligently realizing the automation of the process, reducing the time for operators to fine - tune the parameters of semiconductor machines, and improving the overall production efficiency. The pattern density caused by different product types, the number of wafers and the placement positions (loading effect) in different sub - working areas (such as different areas in a furnace tube), and the film thickness value measured on the wafer after film formation can all be transmitted back to the big data database of the server for rapid calculation to determine the optimal execution conditions for the next execution, without manual calculation or fine - tuning, which is conducive to moving towards the direction of an automated factory.
