[0002] Gate oxide charge density is commonly measured using a triangular voltage sweep (TVS) technique. TVS measurement relies on ensuring that the mobile ion charge distribution achieves a quasi-static distribution—a state in which the mobile ion charge distribution remains constant over time. To achieve this, the TVS scan speed is crucial. If the scan speed is too fast, quasi-static conditions are not met; if it is too slow, the test time is prolonged.

[0046] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the drawings represent like or similar parts, and thus repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

[0047] In addition, the described features, structures or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. can be adopted.

[0048] The blocks shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically separate entities. Specifically, these functional entities may be implemented in software, or in one or more software-hardened modules, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0049] The commonly used method for determining the required sweep speed for TVS measurement is based on the fact that as the sweep speed is further slowed down, the TVS curves overlap. Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of scanning a semiconductor using a triangle wave voltage scanning method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 It can be seen that during the semiconductor voltage scanning process, the scanning speed must be continuously adjusted to make the scanning speed meet the point where the mobile ion charge current in the semiconductor is stable, that is, the point corresponding to quasi-static. At this time, the semiconductor itself reaches a quasi-static state.

[0050] In order to achieve a quasi-static distribution of charge in the semiconductor gate oxide layer, the selection of TVS scanning speed is extremely important. If the scanning speed is too fast, the quasi-static state is not satisfied. If the scanning speed is too slow, the test time will be extended. Figure 2 , Figure 2 A diagram schematically illustrates the relationship between the scan voltage and the current state of charge during the triangular wave voltage scanning method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, determining the scan speed required for TVS measurement requires at least one additional experiment to determine whether a quasi-static state has been achieved, resulting in low speed determination efficiency.

[0051] Based on this, in this example embodiment, a scanning speed determination method is first provided. The scanning speed determination method of the present disclosure can be implemented using a server, or the method described in the present disclosure can be implemented using a terminal device. The terminals described in the present disclosure may include mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops, PDAs, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and fixed terminals such as desktop computers. Figure 3 The following schematically illustrates a flow chart of a method for determining a scanning speed according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 , the scanning speed determination method may include the following steps:

[0052] Step S310 , obtaining a semiconductor to be tested, applying an initial voltage to the semiconductor to be tested, triggering the semiconductor to be tested to generate a potential step, and stepping to a constant potential state; applying the initial voltage is performed based on a specific scanning speed.

[0053] According to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the semiconductor under test may be a semiconductor subjected to measurement using a voltage sweep method. The initial voltage may be the voltage applied to the semiconductor under test to generate a potential step in the semiconductor under test. A potential step may refer to a change in the state of the semiconductor under test from a first point to a second point. A constant potential state refers to a state in which the energized point of the semiconductor remains at a set control point. The specific sweep speed may be the sweep speed used when performing a voltage sweep on the semiconductor under test.

[0054] When determining the charge density of a semiconductor gate oxide layer, a voltage sweep method is typically used. After acquiring the semiconductor to be tested, an initial voltage can be applied to the semiconductor to be tested. Based on the initial voltage and a specific sweep speed, a voltage sweep is performed on the semiconductor to be tested. The initial voltage triggers a potential step in the semiconductor to be tested, causing the semiconductor to step to a constant potential state. During the voltage sweep of the semiconductor to be tested, the specific sweep speed can be adjusted based on the scanning requirements to ultimately determine a target sweep speed that meets the requirements.

[0055] Step S320 , applying a disturbance voltage to the semiconductor to be tested in a constant potential state to obtain a charge state of the semiconductor to be tested in the constant potential state.

[0056] According to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a perturbation voltage may refer to a voltage applied to cause instability and fluctuation in the semiconductor under test. A charge state may refer to the state of mobile ionic charges in the semiconductor under test. Mobile ionic charges may refer to mobile ionized positive ionic charges in silicon dioxide. Most of these charges are metal ions and positive hydrogen ions.

[0057] When the semiconductor to be tested is in a constant potential state, a disturbance voltage can be applied to the semiconductor to be tested, causing the semiconductor to be tested to be unstable or fluctuating. When the disturbance voltage is applied to the semiconductor to be tested in a constant potential state, a voltage scan can be performed on the semiconductor to be tested at a certain scanning speed, and the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested at a certain scanning speed can be obtained.

[0058] In step S330 , in response to the charge state being in the charge activity equilibrium state, a scan speed corresponding to the current charge state is used as a target scan speed of the semiconductor to be tested.

[0059] According to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the charge activity equilibrium state may be a state in which mobile ionic charges in the semiconductor under test are in a quasi-static state. The current charge state may be the charge state of the semiconductor under test at the current moment. The scan speed may be the speed currently used to perform a voltage sweep on the semiconductor under test. The target scan speed may be the scan speed corresponding to a quasi-static charge state of the semiconductor under test.

[0060] By continuously acquiring the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested, the current state of the semiconductor to be tested can be continuously analyzed. If it is detected that the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested currently acquired is in a charge activity equilibrium state, that is, the semiconductor to be tested is in a quasi-static charge state, therefore, the current charge state corresponding to the semiconductor to be tested is determined, and the scanning speed of the voltage scanning for the semiconductor to be tested under the current charge state is obtained. The current scanning speed is used as the target scanning speed of the semiconductor to be tested.

[0061] According to the scanning speed determination method in this example embodiment, the experimental data of the current voltage scan of the semiconductor to be tested can be used to determine whether the current scanning speed meets the conditions of quasi-static distribution, avoiding an additional scanning experiment and improving experimental efficiency.

[0062] Next, the scanning speed determination method in this exemplary embodiment will be further described.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an initial voltage is applied to a semiconductor to be tested to trigger the semiconductor to be tested to generate a potential step, including: determining a scan start time point for performing a voltage scan on the semiconductor to be tested; and performing a voltage scan on the gate oxide layer of the semiconductor to be tested according to the scan start time point and the initial voltage to trigger the semiconductor to be tested to generate a potential step.

[0064] The scanning start time point may be a start time point for performing a voltage scan on the semiconductor to be tested.

[0065] Before applying an initial voltage to the semiconductor under test, a scan start time point for performing a voltage scan on the semiconductor under test can be determined. That is, the voltage scan can be performed on the semiconductor under test starting from the scan start time point. During the voltage scan, a voltage scan can be performed on the gate oxide layer of the semiconductor under test based on the scan start time point and the initial voltage to trigger a potential step in the semiconductor under test. After the potential step is generated in the semiconductor under test, a subsequent scan speed determination operation is performed on the semiconductor under test.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a voltage scan is performed on the gate oxide layer of the semiconductor to be tested according to the scan start time point and the initial voltage, including: determining an initial scan speed for the voltage scan of the semiconductor to be tested; and based on the initial scan speed and the initial voltage, starting from the scan start time point, performing a voltage scan on the gate oxide layer.

[0067] The initial scanning speed may be a scanning speed used to scan the semiconductor to be tested using an initial voltage.

[0068] Before performing a voltage scan on the semiconductor under test based on the initial voltage, a corresponding initial scan speed may be determined. That is, the initial scan speed will be used during the voltage scan of the semiconductor under test using the initial voltage. After the initial scan speed is determined, a voltage scan is performed on the gate oxide layer starting from the scan start time based on the initial scan speed and the initial voltage to generate a potential step in the semiconductor under test.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, starting from a scan start time point, a voltage scan is performed on the gate oxide layer, including: determining a scan duration for the voltage scan of the gate oxide layer; the scan duration is the continuous time for scanning the gate oxide layer using an initial voltage; starting from the scan start time point, a continuous voltage scan is performed on the gate oxide layer based on the scan duration to trigger a potential step in the semiconductor to be tested.

[0070] The scanning duration may be the duration of scanning the gate oxide layer of the semiconductor to be tested using the initial voltage.

[0071] The process of applying an initial voltage to the semiconductor under test needs to last for a certain period of time. Therefore, before performing the voltage scan, the scan duration can be determined. After determining the scan start time, an initial voltage corresponding to the scan duration can be applied to the semiconductor under test starting at the scan start time, and a continuous voltage scan can be performed on the gate oxide layer to trigger a potential step in the semiconductor under test.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, determining a scan duration for performing a voltage scan on a gate oxide layer includes: determining a characteristic frequency of mobile ionic charges in a semiconductor to be tested; and determining a scan duration for performing a voltage scan on the semiconductor to be tested based on the characteristic frequency.

[0073] The characteristic frequency may refer to a cutoff frequency at which the main function of the mobile ion charges in the semiconductor to be tested is reduced to a level that is difficult to use.

[0074] According to the inherent characteristics of the mobile ion charge in the semiconductor to be tested, the scanning duration (Potentiostatic time) can usually be determined according to the characteristic frequency of the mobile ion charge. Since the constant potential time is actually the relaxation time of the mobile ion charge, based on the relevant content of testing the characteristic frequency of the mobile ion charge, it can be known that the reciprocal of the characteristic frequency of the mobile ion charge is the time constant. The characteristic frequency of the mobile ion charge can be used to roughly know the range of the constant potential time.

[0075] Therefore, the duration of a voltage sweep performed on the semiconductor under test can be determined based on the characteristic frequency of the mobile ion charge. For example, the duration of the sweep, i.e., the initial potentiostatic time, can be determined based on the measured characteristic frequency f1 of the mobile ion charge. The initial potentiostatic time can be the inverse of the characteristic frequency.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a disturbance voltage is applied to a semiconductor to be tested that is in a constant potential state to obtain a charge state of the semiconductor to be tested in the constant potential state, including: in response to detecting that the semiconductor to be tested is in a constant potential state, applying a disturbance voltage to the semiconductor to be tested; receiving state response information of the semiconductor to be tested after the disturbance voltage is applied; and determining the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested in the constant potential state according to the state response information.

[0077] The state response information can be the response information of the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested under the disturbance voltage after the disturbance voltage is applied to the semiconductor to be tested, which can be expressed as ΔI sub express.

[0078] When the voltage of the semiconductor to be tested is scanned, the current state of the mobile ion charge in the semiconductor to be tested can be continuously detected. When it is detected that the semiconductor to be tested is in a constant potential state, a disturbance voltage ΔV can be applied to the semiconductor to be tested. GS (f1). Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating the application of a perturbation voltage to a semiconductor under test according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Under the influence of the perturbation voltage, the semiconductor under test may experience changes in its charge state, which can be derived from state response information. Therefore, after applying the perturbation voltage to the semiconductor under test, state response information of the semiconductor under test after the application of the perturbation voltage can be received. By analyzing the received state response information, the charge state of the semiconductor under test in a constant potential state can be determined based on the state response information.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested in a constant potential state is determined according to the state response information, including: determining the real part of the impedance and the imaginary part of the impedance of the mobile ion charge in the semiconductor to be tested based on the state response information; determining the real-imaginary correlation relationship between the real part of the impedance and the imaginary part of the impedance; and determining the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested in a constant potential state according to the imaginary-real correlation relationship.

[0080] Impedance can be the portion of mobile ionic charge that opposes current flow in a circuit. Impedance is often represented by Z, a complex number. The real part of impedance can be resistance, represented by Re(Z); the imaginary part can be reactance, represented by Im(Z). The real-imaginary-real relationship can be the relationship between the real and imaginary parts of impedance.

[0081] After obtaining the state response information corresponding to the semiconductor under test, the real and imaginary impedance components of the mobile ionic charges in the semiconductor under test can be determined based on the state response information. Furthermore, the real-imaginary correlation between the real and imaginary impedance components can be determined. This correlation can reflect the charge state of the mobile ionic charges in the semiconductor under test. Therefore, the charge state of the semiconductor under test can be determined based on the real-imaginary correlation between the real and imaginary impedance components.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the charge state of a semiconductor to be tested in a constant potential state is determined based on a virtual-real correlation relationship, including: obtaining a pre-configured complex semi-analytical function; determining a matching result between the virtual-real correlation relationship and the complex semi-analytical function; and determining the charge state based on the matching result.

[0083] The Kramers–Kronig relations are mathematical formulas that relate the real and imaginary parts of complex semianalytical functions. Complex semianalytical functions can be constructed based on the Kramers–Kronig formula to express the relationship between the real and imaginary parts of impedance.

[0084] The Kramers-Kroning relationship between the real impedance (Re(Z)) and the imaginary impedance (Im(Z)) of the mobile ion charge is satisfied only when the metal-oxide-semiconductor system is in a steady state. Furthermore, compared to other processes, mobile ions achieve quasi-statics the slowest. Therefore, achieving quasi-statics based on mobile ion charges is equivalent to achieving quasi-statics with semiconductors.

[0085] To determine whether a semiconductor's mobile ion charge has achieved a quasi-static distribution, single-frequency AC impedance (SFA) testing can be used to measure the mobile ion charge response impedance. If the real and imaginary parts of the impedance satisfy the Kramers-Kroning relationship, this indicates that the mobile ions have achieved a quasi-static distribution within the current potentiostatic time and that the current scan speed can ensure this distribution. Single-frequency testing is used to shorten evaluation time, and the single frequency can be the characteristic frequency of the mobile ion charge or a lower frequency.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the imaginary-real association relationship matches the complex semi-analyzable function, the charge state is determined to be a charge activity equilibrium state.

[0087] When the real-imaginary correlation between the real part and the imaginary part of the impedance of the mobile ion charge is obtained, the matching relationship between the real-imaginary correlation and the complex semi-analyzable function can be determined. Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram illustrating the matching results between the virtual-real correlation relationship and the complex semi-analytical function according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In step S510, if the virtual-real correlation relationship matches the complex semi-analytical function, it indicates that the current real and imaginary impedance parts of the mobile ion charge satisfy the Kramers-Kroning relationship. Therefore, the charge state can be determined to be a charge activity equilibrium state, i.e., a quasi-static state.

[0088] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the imaginary-real correlation relationship does not match the complex semi-analytical function, the scanning speed for the semiconductor to be tested is adjusted.

[0089] If the imaginary-real relationship does not match the complex semianalyzable function, it indicates that the current real and imaginary impedance components of the mobile ion charge do not satisfy the Kramers-Kroning relationship. Therefore, the scan speed for the voltage sweep across the semiconductor under test needs to be adjusted. By adjusting the scan speed, the mobile ion charge in the semiconductor under test satisfies the Kramers-Kroning relationship, and ultimately the target scan speed is determined.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the imaginary-real correlation relationship does not match the complex semi-analytical function, adjusting the scanning speed for the semiconductor to be tested includes: if the imaginary-real correlation relationship does not match the complex semi-analytical function, increasing the scanning duration of the voltage scan for the semiconductor to be tested.

[0091] Continue to refer Figure 5 In step S520, when the imaginary-real correlation between the real and imaginary impedance parts does not match the complex semi-analyzable function, the mobile ionic charge of the semiconductor under test is not in a quasi-static state. In this case, the scanning speed of the semiconductor under test needs to be adjusted so that the adjusted scanning speed can place the semiconductor under test in a quasi-static state. Specifically, this can be achieved by increasing the duration of the voltage scan performed on the semiconductor under test, which is equivalent to reducing the initial scanning speed for the semiconductor under test.

[0092] After readjusting the scan speed, the tester can obtain the real-to-virtual relationship between the real and imaginary impedance components of the movable ion charge in real time and determine whether this relationship satisfies the Kramers-Kroning relationship. The tester automatically verifies the Kramers-Kroning relationship and adjusts the Potentiostatic time based on the result, such as increasing the Potentiostatic time. If the charge state still does not satisfy the Kramers-Kroning relationship after the scan speed adjustment, the Potentiostatic time is further adjusted until the real-to-virtual relationship of the movable ion charge satisfies the Kramers-Kroning relationship.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, if the virtual-real correlation relationship does not match the complex semi-analyzable function, the scanning speed for the semiconductor to be tested is adjusted, including: if the virtual-real correlation relationship does not match the complex semi-analyzable function, adjusting the disturbance voltage applied to the semiconductor to be tested to obtain an updated disturbance voltage; applying the updated disturbance voltage to the semiconductor to be tested in a constant potential state, and determining the target scanning speed of the semiconductor to be tested according to the updated disturbance voltage.

[0094] If the virtual-real relationship does not match the complex semianalyzable function, the step of applying a perturbation voltage to the semiconductor under test can be re-executed. Thus, the perturbation voltage applied to the semiconductor under test can be updated to obtain an updated perturbation voltage. The updated perturbation voltage is applied to the semiconductor under test in a constant potential state, and a target scanning speed for the semiconductor under test is determined based on the updated perturbation voltage. The process of determining the target scanning speed based on the updated perturbation voltage is similar to the aforementioned process of applying a perturbation voltage to the semiconductor under test and determining the target scanning speed based on the perturbation voltage, and this disclosure will not further elaborate on this process.

[0095] In addition, in this embodiment, the test mode used for the semiconductor to be tested is CV test (C-V measurement). Therefore, during the test process, there is no need to add new functions to the tester, which can further simplify the test process and improve test efficiency.

[0096] In summary, the scanning speed determination method disclosed herein obtains a semiconductor to be tested, applies an initial voltage to the semiconductor to be tested, triggers the semiconductor to be tested to generate a potential step, and then steps to a constant potential state; applies the initial voltage based on a specific scanning speed; applies a perturbation voltage to the semiconductor to be tested in the constant potential state to obtain the charge state of the semiconductor to be tested in the constant potential state; in response to the charge state being in a charge activity equilibrium state, obtains the current charge state corresponding to the semiconductor to be tested; and uses the scanning speed corresponding to the current charge state as the target scanning speed for the semiconductor to be tested. Using the experimental data of the current voltage scan on the semiconductor to be tested, it is possible to determine whether the current scanning speed meets the conditions of quasi-static distribution, avoiding the need for an additional scanning experiment and improving experimental efficiency.
