[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] When faced with discontinuous special pattern defects, the traditional ADC model has the following technical bottlenecks:
[0044] 1. Insufficient samples: Discontinuous special pattern samples are difficult to collect in actual production. The small number of samples leads to insufficient generalization ability of model training and poor judgment effect.
[0045] 2. Difficulty in quantifying morphology: Due to the discontinuous distribution of special pattern defects, traditional morphological parameters (such as length and width) cannot effectively describe their overall characteristics, which makes the model prone to incorrect judgment when facing changes in defect distribution morphology.
[0046] 3. Lack of dynamic interception strategy: Existing ADC models usually use fixed thresholds for defect judgment, which cannot adapt to the changes in defect morphology caused by process fluctuations during wafer production, resulting in the inability to effectively intercept potential risk wafers in actual production.
[0047] 4. Errors caused by human intervention: Traditional ADC models rely on human intervention for sample screening and feature labeling during sample labeling and model training, which can easily introduce human errors and reduce the overall accuracy and stability of the judgment.
[0048] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wafer defect detection solution to improve the sample diversity and model judgment capabilities of discontinuous special pattern defects, to achieve accurate quantification and real-time interception of complex defect morphologies on the wafer surface, and thus ensure the overall quality stability of wafer shipments.
[0049] The present invention provides a wafer defect detection method and device, which can identify wafers with discontinuous special pattern defects.
[0050] The embodiment of the present invention provides a wafer defect detection method, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0051] Step 101: extracting defect boundaries of a wafer to be determined, and determining morphological information of defects of the wafer, wherein the morphological information includes the number of breakpoints, defect distribution density, and the length and angle of each defect segment;
[0052] In this embodiment, multiple filters are used to extract the discontinuous special pattern defect boundaries of the wafer, and the curve morphology of the defect is obtained by the least squares method and feature point fitting algorithm to determine the length starting point and end point of the defect, as well as the contour and breakpoint distribution of the discontinuous special pattern defect.
[0053] In this embodiment, methods such as image segmentation, edge detection and feature quantization can be used to process the defective area suspected to be a discontinuous special pattern, and extract the microscopic morphological features of the discontinuous special defect.
[0054] In some embodiments, before extracting defect boundaries of the wafer to be judged, the method further includes:
[0055] The ADC model is used to screen the wafers to be inspected, and the wafers to be judged are obtained after the abnormal wafers are intercepted.
[0056] This embodiment can use the traditional ADC model to perform preliminary screening on all wafers, quickly detect wafer surface defects with high significance, and directly intercept wafers with obvious abnormalities, reducing the pressure of subsequent sample labeling and model training.
[0057] Step 102: generating a defect density matrix including a plurality of characteristic vectors according to the morphology information, wherein the defect density matrix is used to characterize density changes and breakpoint distribution of defects;
[0058] In this embodiment, a multi-dimensional defect density matrix can be established based on the morphology information to quantitatively describe the morphology of special defects. The defect density matrix can describe the sparseness or density of discontinuous special defects. The defect density matrix includes multiple feature vectors, which can quantitatively describe the morphological characteristics of discontinuous special pattern defects. The defect density matrix can describe the density changes and breakpoint distribution of discontinuous special pattern defects by performing sparsity analysis on the pixel distribution of each segment. The defect density matrix can reflect the overall morphology of discontinuous special defects, and evaluate the discontinuous special defects segment by segment, providing a basis for subsequent dynamic interception strategies.
[0059] Step 103: Evaluate the defect density matrix using a defect determination model to obtain a risk score of the wafer;
[0060] In some embodiments, in order to improve the accuracy of detection, the number of the defect judgment models may be multiple, and the use of the defect judgment model to evaluate the defect density matrix to obtain the risk score of the wafer includes:
[0061] Inputting the defect density matrix into a plurality of defect determination models respectively to obtain a plurality of detection results respectively;
[0062] The multiple detection results are fused according to the weights of the multiple defect judgment models to obtain the risk score of the wafer.
[0063] Multiple defect judgment models can be trained independently, and the weight corresponding to each defect judgment model can be set according to the actual situation, and the detection results corresponding to multiple defect judgment models can be weighted and fused to obtain the final risk score. Among them, multiple defect judgment models can be random forest models, deep learning neural network models, etc.
[0064] Step 104: Compare the risk score of the wafer with a preset risk threshold, and determine the wafer with a risk score greater than the risk threshold as a wafer with a discontinuous special pattern defect.
[0065] Specifically, a wafer with a risk score greater than the risk threshold is determined as a wafer with a discontinuous Specialpattern defect; and a wafer with a risk score not greater than the risk threshold is determined as a wafer without a discontinuous Specialpattern defect.
[0066] In this embodiment, after a wafer is determined to be a wafer with a discontinuous special pattern defect, an alarm may be automatically triggered, and the wafer may be intercepted to prevent unqualified products from entering subsequent process links.
[0067] In this embodiment, by introducing a defect density matrix and multiple feature vectors, a more detailed description of the special defect morphology can be made, so that the defect judgment model can accurately distinguish the discontinuous special pattern defect types with different density and length characteristics, and solve the problem of ADC model omission and over-judgment caused by insufficient discontinuous special pattern defect samples in the existing wafer surface defect interception process, ensuring the effective identification and interception of discontinuous special pattern defects on the wafer surface, while improving the accuracy and efficiency of detection.
[0068] In actual production, since the surface morphology of the wafer will be affected by process fluctuations, a fixed risk threshold cannot effectively adapt to morphological changes. In this embodiment, the risk threshold can be dynamically updated to ensure that a high interception accuracy rate can be maintained under different process conditions. The method also includes:
[0069] Matching the production process parameters of the wafer to be determined with the production process parameters of the first wafer in the historical database;
[0070] The risk threshold is adjusted according to the matching degree between the production process parameters of the wafer and the production process parameters of the first wafer, where the first wafer is determined to have a discontinuous special pattern defect.
[0071] Specifically, adjusting the risk threshold according to the matching degree between the production process parameters of the wafer and the production process parameters of the first wafer includes:
[0072] If the matching degree between the production process parameters of the wafer and the production process parameters of the first wafer is greater than or equal to a preset first matching degree, lowering the risk threshold;
[0073] If the matching degree between the production process parameters of the wafer and the production process parameters of the first wafer is less than or equal to a preset second matching degree, increasing the risk threshold;
[0074] The second matching degree is smaller than the first matching degree.
[0075] In order to solve the problem of small number of discontinuous special pattern defect samples, in this embodiment, after determining that a wafer having a risk score greater than the risk threshold is a wafer having a discontinuous special pattern defect, the method further includes:
[0076] The wafer determined to have a discontinuous special pattern defect is used as sample data of the defect determination model, and data amplification processing is performed on the sample data to generate a plurality of discontinuous special pattern defect samples with different distribution characteristics, and the sample database of the defect determination model is updated;
[0077] The defect determination model is trained using the updated sample database.
[0078] This embodiment performs data amplification processing on limited discontinuous special pattern defect data, and uses image data amplification methods such as geometric transformation (such as rotation, scaling, translation) and random cropping to generate discontinuous special pattern defect samples with various distribution characteristics, such as Figure 2 As shown, the appearance characteristics of defect morphology can be changed, the diversity of sample sets can be improved, and the problem of insufficient sample collection in the actual production process can be compensated.
[0079] This embodiment can also dynamically update the sample library and model parameters based on the newly collected defect samples in production. By introducing an automated data cleaning and preprocessing module, new samples are automatically classified and labeled, and merged with the original sample set, and the ADC model is regularly updated and retrained online. This can significantly improve the real-time and adaptability of the system, effectively reduce the errors caused by manual intervention, further improve the accurate recognition rate of discontinuous special pattern defects, and enhance the interception capability of discontinuous special pattern defects.
[0080] This embodiment reduces the risk of over-judgment and under-judgment of traditional models when the sample size is insufficient, and improves the overall interception capability of risky wafers; it uses image data amplification methods to generate a variety of defect samples, and introduces a variety of machine learning algorithms to train the amplified samples, which can complete the optimization and update of the model in a relatively short time, thereby greatly shortening the model training cycle, effectively avoiding the inconsistency caused by traditional manual labeling and training models, and improving the stability of defect detection results. In addition, since this embodiment uses automated data processing and algorithm fusion technology in the sample amplification, model training and judgment process, it greatly reduces the reliance on manual labeling and sample selection, avoids the introduction of human errors, and improves the consistency and stability of model judgment.
