Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] The design of integrated circuits is very complex. A chip can easily use millions to billions of logic gates (gate count), and the electrical parameters of each logic gate and other devices must meet the standards at the same time, otherwise the chip may not function properly. A wafer usually has tens to tens of thousands of chips, so it is very important to maintain the uniformity of the process. During the process, the monitoring of the key electrical and physical properties of the wafer requires not only that the entire wafer meet the standards, but also that each wafer produced meet this standard. Therefore, process control monitoring (PCM) must be introduced to improve quality monitoring.

The chip particles 101 include a plurality of semiconductor devices 104, and the semiconductor devices 104 are electrically connected through at least one layer of metal wiring and a plurality of contact plugs. The device design pattern is a design pattern of the semiconductor device 104. In this embodiment, the semiconductor device 104 includes at least a gate structure. The gate structure is, for example, a metal gate with a high dielectric constant. The semiconductor device 104 may also include a drain region and a source region, as well as a plurality of doped regions for realizing specific circuit functions. The present invention does not limit this. In this embodiment, the device design pattern includes a pattern of a gate structure, and patterns of other functional areas of the semiconductor device 104. The present invention does not limit patterns of other functional areas of the semiconductor device 104.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure provided by the present invention includes steps S10 to S40.
[0051] Step S10 , obtaining a device design pattern of the wafer 100 , wherein the device design pattern includes a pattern of a gate structure.
[0052] Step S20 , dividing the patterns of the gate structure into first-type patterns AA and second-type patterns BB according to the pattern lengths of the gate structure, wherein the lengths of the second-type patterns BB are greater than the lengths of the first-type patterns AA.
[0053] Step S30, setting a support pattern in the blank area 103 of the wafer 100, wherein the support pattern is adjacent to the pattern of the gate structure or adjacent to another support pattern, and the area of the support pattern adjacent to the first type of pattern AA is larger than the area of the support pattern adjacent to the second type of pattern BB.
[0054] Step S40: processing the wafer 100 according to the device design pattern and the support pattern to form a gate structure and a support structure.
[0055] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, in step S10, the device design graphics of the wafer 100 are obtained from the computer, and the graphics of the gate structure are selected from the device design graphics of the wafer 100. In this embodiment, the gate structure graphics can be obtained by filtering the graphic names. In step S20, the graphic length of the gate structure is obtained. In this embodiment, a graphic length threshold is set, and the gate structure is divided into a first type of graphics AA and a second type of graphics BB according to the graphic length threshold. The graphic length of the first type of graphics AA is less than or equal to the graphic length threshold, and the graphic length of the second type of graphics BB is greater than the graphic length threshold.

Figure 3 The horizontal axis represents the gate length, and the vertical axis represents the layer thickness of the hard mask layer and the oxide layer. When the gate length is greater than 100 nm, the thickness of the hard mask layer HM and the oxide layer OX does not change much, so the pattern length threshold is set to, for example, 100 nm to distinguish the two gate structures.
[0056] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the area on the wafer 100 is divided into a device area and a blank area 103. The device area is the area occupied by the device design pattern. The area other than the device area is the blank area 103. In this embodiment, step S30 includes steps S31 to S33.

[0060] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a test key is provided in the cutting path 102. The blank area 103 on the wafer 100 may be a blank area 103 in a single chip, or may be a blank area 103 on the wafer 100 outside the chip, such as an area in the cutting path 102 excluding the test key, such as an area excluding the chip and the cutting path 102. In step S30, a support pattern is planned in the blank area 103. In step S31, the area surrounding the first type of pattern AA is marked as the first blank area 103, and the area surrounding the second type of pattern BB is marked as the third blank area 103. The area in the blank area 103 except the first blank area 103 and the second blank area 103 is marked as the second blank area 103. Among them, the second blank area 103 is located between the first blank area 103 and the third blank area 103. The present invention does not limit the area of the first blank area 103 and the third blank area 103. The length and width of the blank area 103 are greater than the maximum length of the supporting pattern to ensure that the blank area 103 can accommodate at least one row of supporting patterns. In this embodiment, the first blank area 103 and the third blank area 103 can be in the shape of a Chinese character "回". The Chinese character "回" can be expressed as a square outer frame and a square inner frame, wherein the center of the square outer frame and the center of the positive direction inner frame are consistent. The Chinese character "回" can also be expressed as a rectangular outer frame and a rectangular inner frame, wherein the center of the rectangular outer frame and the center of the rectangular inner frame are consistent. Figure 5 As shown, the present invention does not limit the shape of the second blank area 103 .
[0061] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, in step S32, a first support pattern 200, a second support pattern 300 and a third support pattern 400 are set. The first support pattern 200 is set in the first blank area 103, the second support pattern 300 is set in the second blank area 103, and the third support pattern 400 is set in the third blank area 103. In this embodiment, the area of the first support pattern 200 is greater than the area of the second support pattern 300, and the area of the second support pattern 300 is greater than the area of the third support pattern 400.

[0062] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, in step S33, in the step of arranging the first support pattern 200, the second support pattern 300 and the third support pattern 400, the density range requirement of the blank area 103 is obtained, and the first support pattern 200, the second support pattern 300 and the third support pattern 400 are arranged according to the density range requirement and the critical size requirement. In this embodiment, the first support pattern 200, the second support pattern 300 and the third support pattern 400 can be randomly arranged by the system. After the arrangement is completed, check whether the arranged pattern meets the density range requirement and the critical size requirement. The density range requirement is reflected in the number of patterns per unit area, for example, the number of patterns per unit area is required to be 3-5. The present invention does not limit the threshold value of the density range. The critical size requirement is reflected in the minimum spacing between the patterns, for example, the spacing between the patterns is required to be greater than 12nm. The present invention does not limit the value of the critical size. In this embodiment, in a single blank area 103, the spacing between multiple support patterns can be equal or unequal. The spacing between the support patterns between different blank areas 103 may be equal or unequal. In this embodiment, multiple rows and columns of support patterns may be arranged in a single blank area 103, or a single row and column of patterns may be arranged. In this embodiment, when arranging the support patterns, when the remaining blank area 103 is not enough to place a support pattern, the arrangement is stopped. The device manufacturing pattern is obtained by combining the support pattern and the pattern of the gate structure.
[0063] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, in step S40, the wafer 100 is processed according to the device manufacturing pattern. The steps of processing the wafer 100 are as follows. The wafer 100 includes a substrate 1041, a gate oxide layer 1042 is formed on the wafer 100, and a polysilicon layer 1043 is formed on the gate oxide layer 1042. The substrate 1041 is, for example, a silicon substrate for forming a semiconductor structure. The substrate 1041 may include a substrate and a silicon layer disposed above the substrate, and the substrate may be, for example, silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), sapphire (Al 2 O 3 ), gallium arsenide (GaAs), lithium aluminate (LiAlO 2 ) and other semiconductor substrate materials, a silicon layer is formed on the substrate. In this embodiment, silicon dioxide is deposited on the substrate 1041 by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to form a gate oxide layer 1042. Then, polysilicon is deposited on the gate oxide layer 1042 by chemical vapor deposition plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition to form a polysilicon layer 1043. The thickness of the polysilicon layer 1043 and the gate oxide layer 1042 is set according to the design requirements of the semiconductor device 104, and the present invention does not limit it.
[0064] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the gate oxide layer 1042 and the polysilicon layer 1043 are patterned according to the device design pattern and the support pattern to form a pseudo gate structure 105 and a first support structure. Then, an interlayer dielectric layer is formed on the pseudo gate structure 105, on the first support structure and on the wafer 100. In the step of patterning the gate oxide layer 1042 and the polysilicon layer 1043, a photoresist layer is first formed on the polysilicon layer 1043, and then the photoresist layer is patterned by exposure etching. Then, using the photoresist layer as a mask, the polysilicon layer 1043 and the gate oxide layer 1042 are etched to form a pseudo gate structure 105 at a position corresponding to the gate structure pattern, and a support structure at a position corresponding to the support pattern. As shown Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The pattern of the dummy gate structure 105 shown is a first type pattern AA, and adjacent to the dummy gate structure 105 of the first type pattern AA is a first support structure of the first support pattern 200. Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9The figure of the pseudo gate structure 105 shown is a second type figure BB, and adjacent to the pseudo gate structure 105 of the second type figure BB is a third support structure of the first support figure 200. After the pseudo gate structure 105 is formed, before the interlayer dielectric layer, a sidewall structure can be formed on the side of the pseudo gate structure 105 by a sidewall formation process, wherein the sidewall structure may include at least one silicon nitride layer and may also include a silicon oxide layer. The silicon nitride layer may cover the top of the polysilicon layer 1043. In this embodiment, silicon oxide is deposited on the substrate 1041, on the first support structure, on the pseudo gate structure 105, and on the sidewall structure by chemical vapor deposition plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and the like, thereby forming an interlayer dielectric layer. It should be noted that the sidewall structure can be simultaneously formed on the side of the first support structure.
[0065] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the interlayer dielectric layer is then planarized to make the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer, the surface of the first support structure and the surface of the dummy gate structure 105 flush. In this embodiment, in the step of planarizing the interlayer dielectric layer, the top surface of the dummy gate structure 105 can be used as a stop layer to process the interlayer dielectric layer by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The top surface of the dummy gate structure 105 can be the surface of the polysilicon layer 1043, or can be the silicon oxide layer or silicon nitride layer when forming the sidewall structure.
[0066] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the polysilicon layer 1043 in the first support structure and the polysilicon layer 1043 of the pseudo gate structure 105 are removed to form a deposition groove. The length of the deposition groove is equal to the length of the corresponding support pattern or gate pattern. Then, the deposition groove is filled with a metal material, a gate structure is formed at the position of the original pseudo gate structure 105, and a second support structure is formed at the position of the original first support structure. After polishing and etching are completed, the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer in each area is flush and flush with the surface of the sidewall structure. Then, after the gate structure and the second support structure are formed, a level with a flush surface can still be obtained with good support, thereby forming a semiconductor device 104 with uniform properties.
