[0051] In the field of semiconductor technology, when performing reverse analysis and failure analysis, it is necessary to perform various electrical tests on semiconductor structures, such as electronic devices, capacitors, and resistors in a chip, in order to understand various electrical-related parameters.

It uses separate current and voltage electrodes, eliminating the impedance of wiring and contact resistance.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for detecting semiconductor structures in this disclosure according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the detection method according to an exemplary embodiment, which integrates... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the detection method includes:

[0056] In step S100, a preset voltage is applied to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 through the first detection circuit 400 to obtain the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 600.

[0059] The detection method provided in this disclosure uses different detection circuits to detect the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure and the voltage value across the semiconductor structure, thereby determining the resistance value of the semiconductor structure. This can effectively eliminate the influence of contact resistance and improve the detection accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0060] In step S100, a preset voltage is applied to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 by the first detection circuit 400, creating a voltage difference across the semiconductor structure 600. The current flowing through the semiconductor structure 600 can then be read by the ammeter 401. The first detection circuit 400 operates in voltage source mode, applying different voltages to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 to create a voltage difference, thereby obtaining the current flowing through the semiconductor structure 600.

[0061] In step S200, a preset current is applied to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 through the second detection circuit 500, and the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600 can then be read using the voltmeter 501.

[0062] In step S300, based on the current and voltage values ​​obtained by different detection circuits in steps S100 and S200, the influence of the contact resistance at both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 can be effectively eliminated, the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 can be determined, and the detection accuracy and reliability of the detection results can be improved.

[0063] It should be noted that the semiconductor structure detection method provided in this disclosure can be used to detect the resistance of a Pwell well, as well as the resistance of an Nwell well, thin film sheet resistance, etc.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first detection circuit 400 includes a first detection terminal 410 and a second detection terminal 420, wherein the first detection terminal 410 is located at the first end of the semiconductor structure 600 and the second detection terminal 420 is located at the second end of the semiconductor structure 600; during the detection process, a first voltage is applied to the first detection terminal 410 and a second voltage is applied to the second detection terminal 420, and the difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is a preset voltage. At this time, the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 600 can be obtained by the ammeter 401.

[0065] In this embodiment, a first voltage is applied to the first end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the first detection terminal 410, and a second voltage is applied to the second end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the second detection terminal 420, thereby forming a voltage difference of a preset voltage across the two ends of the semiconductor structure 600, so that current flows through the semiconductor structure 600, and the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 600 can be directly read by the ammeter 401.

[0066] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the second detection circuit 500 includes a third detection terminal 510 and a fourth detection terminal 520, wherein the third detection terminal 510 is located at the first end of the semiconductor structure 600, and the fourth detection terminal 520 is located at the second end of the semiconductor structure 600. During the detection process, a first current is applied to the third detection terminal 510, and a second current is applied to the fourth detection terminal 520. The first current and the second current are the same, and the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600 can be obtained by the voltmeter 501.

[0067] In this embodiment, a first current is applied to the first end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the third detection terminal 510, and a second current is applied to the second end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the fourth detection terminal 520. Since the first current and the second current are the same, the voltage value obtained at both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 at this time does not include the voltage corresponding to the contact resistance at both ends of the semiconductor structure 600, which can effectively eliminate the influence of the contact resistance on the resistance detection result of the semiconductor structure 600.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, both the first current and the second current are 0A.

[0069] In this embodiment, a current of 0A is simultaneously applied to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600. The voltage value measured by the voltmeter 501 is the voltage value after excluding the contact resistance of the third detection terminal 510 and the fourth detection terminal 520, which is the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600. Based on this voltage value and the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 600 obtained in step S100, the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 can be accurately calculated, effectively eliminating the influence of contact resistance and improving the reliability and accuracy of the detection results.

[0070] According to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the first detection end 410 includes a first probe 411, the second detection end 420 includes a second probe 421, and the first probe 411 and the second probe 421 are connected to the first source detection unit 430.

[0071] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first detection circuit 400 applies a preset voltage to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 in a voltage source mode. Exemplarily, its first source detection unit 430 is a voltage source detection unit.

[0072] The first source detection unit 430 applies a first voltage to the first end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the first probe 411 and applies a second voltage to the second end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the second probe 421, so that a voltage difference with a preset voltage is formed across the two ends of the semiconductor structure 600, and the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 600 at this time can be read by the ammeter 401.

[0073] In some embodiments, the third detection end 510 includes a third probe 511, and the fourth detection end 520 includes a fourth probe 521. The third probe 511 and the fourth probe 521 are connected to the second source detection unit 530.

[0074] In this disclosure, the second detection circuit 500 adopts a current source mode, applying a preset current to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600. Exemplarily, its second source detection unit 530 is a current source detection unit.

[0075] The second source detection unit 530 applies a first current to the first end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the third probe 511 and a second current to the second end of the semiconductor structure 600 through the fourth probe 521. When the first current and the second current are the same, the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600 is read by the voltmeter 501. This voltage value excludes the contact resistance of the third probe 511 and the fourth probe 521, effectively eliminating the influence of contact resistance on the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 and improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0076] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 is determined based on the ratio of the voltage value to the current value.

[0077] Based on the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600 obtained by the second detection circuit 500, which is the voltage value after excluding contact resistance, the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 can be directly calculated according to R=U / I based on the voltage value obtained in step S200 and the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 100 obtained in step S100. Moreover, the calculation result can eliminate the influence of contact resistance caused by the probe of the detection circuit, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection result.

[0078] The semiconductor structure detection method provided in this disclosure obtains the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 600 through a first detection circuit, and then obtains the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600 under the same current through a second detection circuit. This method can eliminate the influence of contact resistance caused by the detection circuit, accurately calculate the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600, and effectively improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection structure.

[0079] Based on relevant technologies and the detection methods disclosed herein, the inventors conducted comparative experiments using two detection methods for the same semiconductor structure: referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The schematic diagram is shown. Table 1 shows the parameters for detecting semiconductor structures using related technologies, and Table 2 shows the parameters for detecting semiconductor structures using the detection method of this disclosure.

[0082] Reference Figure 1As shown in Table 1, two measurements were performed using related techniques. A first detection probe and a second detection probe were brought into contact with the two ends of the semiconductor structure to be tested, respectively. A voltage of 0V was applied to the first detection probe, and a voltage ranging from -2V to 2V was applied to the second detection probe. As the voltage applied to the second detection probe changed, the current values ​​I1' and I2' across the semiconductor structure were measured and recorded. Then, the resistance value of the semiconductor structure measured under different voltages at the second detection probe was calculated using R = U / I. Based on the calculation results, the RU curve of the tested semiconductor structure was plotted.

[0083] like Figure 4-1 The measurement results shown indicate that when the applied voltage of the first detection probe is 0V and the applied voltage of the second detection probe is -2 to 2V, the average resistance measured is 37375.34Ω.

[0085]

[0086] Reference Figure 3 The principle shown is illustrated, and the detection method provided in this disclosure is used to perform two tests on the same semiconductor structure according to the parameters shown in Table 2:

[0087] First, a voltage of 0V is applied to the first probe 411 via the first detection circuit 400 in voltage source mode. A voltage is then applied to the second probe 421 within the range of 0 to 2V. As the voltage applied to the second probe 421 changes, the currents I1 and I2 across the semiconductor structure are recorded, where I1 = I2. Next, a second detection circuit 500 in current source mode is used for detection. Simultaneously, a current of 0A is applied to both the third probe 511 and the fourth probe 521, and the voltages V3 and V4 across the semiconductor structure are measured. The voltage difference ΔV across the semiconductor structure is calculated as the absolute value of the difference between V3 and V4. Finally, according to R = U / I, the resistance of the semiconductor structure is calculated as ΔV / I1.

The detection method of the present disclosure effectively eliminates the influence of contact resistance generated at both ends of the semiconductor structure during the measurement process, resulting in more accurate and reliable measurement results.

[0090] A second aspect of this disclosure provides a semiconductor structure detection device. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the detection device is shown, with reference to... Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the detection device 700 includes a first acquisition module 710, a second acquisition module 720, and a determination module 730. Among them,

Then, the determination module 730 determines the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 based on the acquisition results of the first acquisition module 710 and the second determination module 720, effectively eliminating the influence of contact resistance on the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 and improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first detection circuit 400 includes a first detection terminal 410 and a second detection terminal 420, wherein the first detection terminal 410 is located at a first end of the semiconductor structure 600 and the second detection terminal 420 is located at a second end of the semiconductor structure 600.

[0097] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the second detection circuit 500 includes a third detection terminal 510 and a fourth detection terminal 520, wherein the third detection terminal 510 is located at the first end of the semiconductor structure 600, and the fourth detection terminal 520 is located at the second end of the semiconductor structure 600. In this embodiment, the second acquisition module 720 is configured to supply a first current to the third detection terminal 510 and a second current to the fourth detection terminal 520, wherein the first current and the second current are the same.

[0098] The same current is applied to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600 through the third detection terminal 510 and the fourth detection terminal 520 respectively.

The obtained voltage value can effectively eliminate the influence of contact resistance and improve the reliability of the detection result.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first current and the second current are 0A.

[0100] In this embodiment, a 0A current is simultaneously applied to both ends of the semiconductor structure 600. The voltage value measured by the voltmeter 501 is the voltage value after excluding the contact resistance of the third detection terminal 510 and the fourth detection terminal 520, which is the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600. Based on this voltage value, combined with the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 600 obtained by the first acquisition module 710, the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 can be accurately calculated, effectively eliminating the influence of contact resistance and improving the reliability and accuracy of the detection results.

[0106] Based on the voltage value across the semiconductor structure 600 obtained by the second acquisition module 720 through the second detection circuit 500, which is the voltage value after excluding contact resistance, the resistance value of the semiconductor structure 600 can be directly calculated according to R=U / I based on the voltage value obtained by the second acquisition module 720 and the current value flowing through the semiconductor structure 100 obtained by the first acquisition module 710. Moreover, the calculation result can eliminate the influence of contact resistance caused by the probe of the detection circuit, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection result.
