AI Technical Summary
When the existing optical detection system is asymmetric in the initial position of the substrate or the optical element position deviates from the center, the detection area cannot cover the entire substrate, resulting in the need to increase the translational motion stroke and motion accuracy of the workpiece table, and increase the cost and floor area of the whole machine.
By placing the substrate at a predetermined position of the workpiece table, the optical detection module first captures the pattern to be detected in the detection area, and then rotates the workpiece table to be rotated to allow the pattern outside the detection area to enter the detection area, and the optical detection module captures the remaining pattern.
There is no need to increase the translational motion stroke and motion accuracy of the workpiece table, nor does it need to adjust the frame structure of the whole machine, which reduces the cost and footprint of the whole machine and improves process adaptability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to an optical detection method. Background Art
[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing process, it is often necessary to use an optomechanical system to take pictures of the substrate adsorbed on the workpiece stage, so as to perform optical inspection processes such as defect detection and alignment detection. At this time, the workpiece stage needs to be moved to align the corresponding area of the substrate with the lens of the optomechanical system.
[0003] When the optical detection module of the optical-mechanical system is located at the center of the workpiece stage, the detection area of the optical detection module can usually cover the entire substrate within the travel range of the workpiece stage. However, since important optical elements such as illumination light sources, special lenses with large apertures, etc. usually need to be set at the center or other positions of the initial position of the workpiece stage, the position of the optical detection module deviates horizontally from the center of the initial position of the workpiece stage, or the translational motion travel of the workpiece stage is asymmetric. At this time, the detection area of the optical detection module cannot cover the entire substrate. In order to make the detection area of the optical detection module cover the entire substrate, the translational motion travel of the workpiece stage and the motion accuracy at the long-travel position can only be forcibly increased, or the frame structure and overall layout of the whole machine can be adjusted, which ultimately increases the cost and floor space of the whole machine. Summary of the invention

The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer based on the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in exact proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0034] Embodiment 1
[0035] Figure 1 Flow chart of the optical detection method provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the optical detection method includes:
[0036] Step S100: providing a substrate having a plurality of patterns to be detected thereon;
[0037] Step S200: placing the substrate at a predetermined position on a workpiece table;
[0038] Step S300: providing an optical detection module, wherein the optical detection module is used to photograph the pattern to be detected, wherein part of the pattern to be detected is located outside a detection area of the optical detection module, and the detection area is defined by a translational motion stroke of the workpiece stage; and
[0039] Step S400: the optical detection module photographs at least a portion of the pattern to be detected in the detection area, and after the workpiece stage rotates the substrate by a predetermined angle, the optical detection module photographs the remaining pattern to be detected.
[0040] Figure 2 to Figure 5 The following is a schematic diagram of the structure corresponding to the corresponding steps of the optical detection method provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 to Figure 5 The optical detection method provided in this embodiment is described in detail.
[0041] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the substrate 100 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, step S100 is performed to provide a substrate 100. The substrate 100 may be a commonly used substrate in the semiconductor field, such as a wafer or a mask, etc. The substrate 100 may be circular or square, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0042] The substrate 100 has a plurality of patterns 101 to be detected. In this embodiment, the patterns 101 to be detected are defects on the substrate 100, and the optical detection method is used to perform defect detection on the substrate 100. In this embodiment, the positions of the patterns 101 to be detected on the substrate 100 are known. For example, the positions of the patterns 101 to be detected on the substrate 100 may be the positions of the centers of the defects on the substrate 100.
[0043] In some embodiments, the pattern to be detected 101 may also be the edge of the substrate 100. In this case, the optical detection method is used to detect the edge of the substrate 100, thereby achieving a rough alignment between the substrate 100 and the workpiece stage. In this case, the position of the pattern to be detected 101 on the substrate 100 may be the vertex of the edge or the positions of several sampling points of the edge on the substrate 100.
[0044] It should be understood that for ease of understanding, Figure 2 In the figure, a circle is schematically used to represent the pattern to be detected 101, but in fact, the pattern to be detected 101 is not limited to a circle, and can also be any regular or irregular shape, or even a point.
[0045] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the workpiece stage 200 and the optical detection module 300 provided in this embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, step S200 and step S300 are executed, the robot takes out the substrate 100 from the film box and hands it over to the work stage 200, and the robot places the substrate 100 at a predetermined position of the work stage 200 (usually the center of the work stage 200). The optical detection module 300 is located above the work stage 200 and is used to photograph the pattern 101 to be detected on the substrate 100.
[0046] It is understandable that when the position of the optical detection module 300 deviates horizontally from the center of the initial position of the workpiece stage 200, or the translational movement stroke of the workpiece stage 200 is asymmetric horizontally, the detection area of the optical detection module 300 within the translational movement stroke of the workpiece stage 200 is very likely to be unable to cover the entire substrate 100. Figure 3 As shown, the position of the optical detection module 300 is rightward in the x direction (relative to Figure 3 The orientation in the workpiece stage 200 deviates from the center of the initial position of the workpiece stage 200. As a result, the detection area 102 of the optical detection module 300 within the translation movement range of the workpiece stage 200 is very likely to fail to cover the left side of the substrate 100 (relative to the left side of the substrate 100). Figure 3 The part close to the edge.
[0047] Next, since the loading deviation may occur during the loading process of the robot, the position of the substrate 100 on the work stage 200 has a position deviation from the predetermined position. Based on this, the work stage 200 starts to move, so that the optical detection module 300 is aligned with the alignment mark (not shown in the figure) on the substrate 100, and then starts to shoot the alignment mark on the substrate 100 to obtain an alignment image. The pixel position of the alignment mark on the alignment image can be obtained by identifying the alignment image, and the position conversion relationship between the substrate 100 and the work stage 200 and the pixel position of the alignment mark on the alignment image can be used to obtain the position conversion relationship between the substrate 100 and the work stage 200.
[0048] Next, since the position of each of the patterns to be detected 101 on the substrate 100 is known, the position of each of the patterns to be detected 101 on the substrate 100 is converted into a theoretical position of the work stage 200 by using the position conversion relationship between the substrate 100 and the work stage 200. The theoretical position of the work stage 200 is the position where the work stage 200 should be when the patterns to be detected 101 are aligned with the optical detection module 300 respectively.
[0049] Afterwards, the theoretical position of the workpiece stage 200 corresponding to each of the patterns 101 to be detected and the translational movement stroke of the workpiece stage 200 can be used to determine whether the patterns 101 to be detected are all located within the detection range. For example, taking the center of the workpiece stage 200 as the origin, the translational movement stroke of the workpiece stage 200 in the X direction and the Y direction is ±50, if the x-coordinate of the theoretical position of the workpiece stage 200 corresponding to the pattern 101 to be detected is greater than +50 or less than -50, or the y-coordinate of the theoretical position of the workpiece stage 200 corresponding to the pattern 101 to be detected is greater than +50 or less than -50, it indicates that the pattern 101 to be detected is located outside the detection range.
[0050] If all the patterns 101 to be detected are within the detection range, it indicates that the optical detection module 300 is able to photograph all the patterns 101 to be detected. At this time, the optical detection module 300 only needs to photograph all the patterns 101 to be detected one by one; if at least one of the patterns 101 to be detected is outside the detection range, it indicates that the optical detection module 300 is unable to photograph all the patterns 101 to be detected.
[0051] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the detection area 102 of the optical detection module 300 provided in this embodiment within the translation movement range of the workpiece stage 200 is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, 5 of the patterns to be detected 101 are located in the detection area 102, and 2 are located outside the detection area 102. It should be understood that Figure 4 The relationship between the detection area 102 and the pattern to be detected 101 is only an example. Whether the pattern to be detected 101 is located within the detection range needs to be determined according to actual conditions.
[0052] Please continue reading Figure 4 , execute step S400, plan a first motion trajectory of the workpiece stage 200 using the theoretical positions of the workpiece stage 200 corresponding to the five patterns 101 to be detected in the detection area 102, the workpiece stage 200 moves according to the first motion trajectory, and the optical detection module 300 can photograph the five patterns 101 to be detected in the detection area 102 one by one.
[0053] Afterwards, the workpiece stage 200 rotates the substrate 100 by a predetermined angle. In this embodiment, the predetermined angle is 180 degrees. Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the substrate 100 after rotating 180 degrees provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, after the workpiece stage 200 rotates the substrate 100 by 180 degrees, the two to-be-detected patterns 101 that were originally not within the detection range 102 also enter the detection area 102 .
[0054] Since the position of the substrate 100 changes after the substrate 100 rotates 180 degrees, the positions of the remaining two patterns to be detected 101 also change, so it is necessary to use the theoretical positions of the work stage 200 corresponding to the remaining two patterns to be detected 101 and the predetermined angle of rotation of the substrate 100 to obtain the corrected theoretical position of the work stage 200. The corrected theoretical position of the work stage 200 is the position where the work stage 200 should be located when the remaining two patterns to be detected 101 are aligned with the optical detection module 300 respectively.
[0055] Afterwards, the second motion trajectory of the workpiece stage 200 is planned using the corrected theoretical positions of the workpiece stage 200 corresponding to the remaining two patterns 101 to be detected. The workpiece stage 200 moves according to the second motion trajectory, and the optical detection module 300 can photograph the remaining two patterns 101 to be detected one by one, thereby eliminating the need to increase the translational motion stroke of the workpiece stage 200 and the motion accuracy at long-stroke positions, and eliminating the need to adjust the frame structure and overall layout of the entire machine, thereby reducing the cost and floor space of the entire machine and improving process adaptability.
[0056] It should be understood that rotating the substrate 100 by 180 degrees can ensure that the patterns to be detected 101 outside the detection area 102 all enter the detection area 102, and subsequent image processing is also simpler. As an optional embodiment, the predetermined angle is not limited to 180 degrees. In some embodiments, after rotating the substrate 100 by other angles, the remaining patterns to be detected 101 can also enter the detection area 102. Therefore, the rotation angle of the substrate 100 can be selected according to actual conditions.
[0057] Embodiment 2
[0058] The difference from the first embodiment is that, in this embodiment, before the substrate 100 is rotated by a predetermined angle, the optical detection module 300 only photographs a portion of the to-be-detected patterns 101 in the detection area 102 one by one.
[0059] Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the detection area 102 of the optical detection module 300 provided in this embodiment within the translation movement range of the workpiece stage 200 is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, 5 of the patterns to be detected 101 are located in the detection area 102, and 2 are located outside the detection area 102. It should be understood that Figure 6 The relationship between the detection area 102 and the pattern to be detected 101 is only an example. Whether the pattern to be detected 101 is located within the detection range needs to be determined according to actual conditions.
[0060] Please continue reading Figure 6 , executing step S400, dividing the substrate 100 into a first area 110 and a second area 120 along the y direction, wherein the first area 110 is located in the detection area 102, a portion of the second area 120 is located in the detection area 102, and the other portion is located outside the detection area 102. The first area 110 has three patterns 101 to be detected, and the second area 120 has four patterns 101 to be detected.
[0061] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to dividing the substrate 100 into two halves along the y-axis, as long as the first area 110 is located within the detection area 102 after the substrate 100 is divided into two halves.
[0062] Next, the first motion trajectory of the workpiece stage 200 is planned using the theoretical position of the workpiece stage 200 corresponding to the three patterns 101 to be detected in the first area 110. The workpiece stage 200 moves along the first motion trajectory, and the optical detection module 300 can photograph the three patterns 101 to be detected in the detection area 102 one by one.
[0063] Afterwards, the workpiece stage 200 rotates the substrate 100 180 degrees. Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the substrate 100 after rotating 180 degrees provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, after the workpiece stage 200 rotates the substrate 100 180 degrees, a portion of the second area 120 that was originally not in the detection range 102 also enters the detection area 102 , and the four patterns to be detected 101 in the second area 120 naturally also enter the detection area 102 .
[0064] Since the position of the substrate 100 changes after the substrate 100 rotates 180 degrees, the positions of the four patterns to be detected 101 in the second area 120 also change, so it is necessary to use the theoretical position of the work stage 200 corresponding to the four patterns to be detected 101 in the second area 120 and the predetermined angle (180°) of rotation of the substrate 100 to obtain the corrected theoretical position of the work stage 200. The corrected theoretical position of the work stage 200 is the position where the work stage 200 should be located when the four patterns to be detected 101 in the second area 120 are aligned with the optical detection module 300 respectively.
[0065] Afterwards, the second motion trajectory of the workpiece stage 200 is planned using the corrected theoretical position of the workpiece stage 200 corresponding to the four patterns 101 to be detected in the second area 120. The workpiece stage 200 moves according to the second motion trajectory, and the optical detection module 300 can photograph the four patterns 101 to be detected in the second area 120 one by one, thereby eliminating the need to increase the translational motion stroke of the workpiece stage 200 and the motion accuracy at long-stroke positions, and eliminating the need to adjust the frame structure and overall layout of the entire machine, thereby reducing the cost and floor space of the entire machine and improving process adaptability.
[0066] In summary, in the optical detection method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is placed at a predetermined position of the workpiece stage, and the optical detection module is first ordered to photograph at least part of the pattern to be detected within the detection area of the optical detection module one by one. Then the workpiece stage rotates the substrate by a predetermined angle so that the pattern to be detected outside the detection area enters the detection area. At this time, the optical detection module photographs the remaining patterns to be detected one by one, thereby eliminating the need to increase the translational motion stroke of the workpiece stage and the motion accuracy at the long-stroke position, and eliminating the need to adjust the frame structure and overall layout of the entire machine, thereby reducing the cost and footprint of the entire machine and improving process adaptability.
