Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanical processing, and in particular to an endpoint detection method and system for a polishing process of a high-hardness and brittle material. Background Art
[0002] High-hardness and brittle materials represented by silicon carbide materials have extremely superior physical properties. The current industrial field has an increasing demand for the processing of high-hardness and brittle materials, especially in the fields of aviation technology, semiconductor chips and energy. High-precision processing requirements and greater processing difficulty. But this also means that its processing requirements are extremely high and difficult. Taking silicon carbide as an example, when it is processed into a semiconductor substrate, its surface must be ultra-precise, defect-free, and damage-free, and the surface roughness must reach the nanometer level. The characteristics of silicon carbide materials include high hardness, stable chemical properties, higher compression strength than bending strength, and greater hardness and brittleness, which increase the difficulty of processing.
[0003] During the polishing process, the material is in full contact with the polishing pad, and it is difficult to detect its endpoint. The traditional method is to estimate the polishing time required for a specific product through experiments, and then empirically control the removal speed and uniformity based on the polishing rate and polishing thickness. However, the metal pattern, stacking ratio and process differences of the material will cause differences in polishing removal amount and time, coupled with factors such as polishing pad loss, temperature changes, and material pressure distribution methods, so the traditional method cannot effectively solve the "over-polishing" and "under-polishing" problems. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an endpoint detection method and system for the polishing process of high-hardness and brittle materials to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A method for detecting an endpoint of a polishing process of a high-hardness and brittle material, comprising:
[0007] Step 1, constructing a mathematical model of chemical mechanical polishing;
[0008] Step 2: Build a test platform to collect force and torque signals;
[0009] Step 3: Design the circuit of the edge computing platform;
[0010] Step 4, conduct parameter control experiments, control the polishing liquid concentration, polishing liquid temperature, polishing speed, polishing time, adjust the polishing pressure and polishing torque to conduct experiments, obtain corresponding parameter data, and remove the workpiece at regular intervals to detect its MRR and Ra; at the same time, establish a state space observation system to obtain the current polishing friction coefficient;
[0011] Step 5, develop the host computer system, display the experimental data obtained previously and the friction coefficient obtained by the state observation system, and design the user operation interface and provide the corresponding user operation interface;
[0012] Step 6: Establish the relationship between the force and torque signals and the processing state of the hard and brittle material for the experimental data obtained above, normalize the collected force and torque signals, standardize the sample data, and convert all data into values between [0,1]. The normalization method used is the maximum and minimum normalization method:
[0013]
[0014] Among them, x represents a data element in the data set, x k Indicates the normalized value of the data element, x max Indicates the maximum value of the data set in the data set, x min The minimum value of this data set in this data set;
[0015] Finally, a training set of the high-hardness and brittle material processing state prediction model based on force and torque signals is obtained;
[0016] Step 7, using the normalized data set to train the processing state prediction model;
[0017] Step 8: Use the trained processing state prediction model to perform endpoint detection, where the reference basis of the endpoint detection standard of the processing state prediction model is the material removal rate MRR and the surface roughness Ra. The polishing endpoint is reached when Ra is less than the standard threshold and MRR is within the set threshold range.
[0018] Furthermore, the step 1 specifically includes:
[0019] Assuming that the oxidant concentration and abrasive in the polishing solution are sufficient and evenly distributed, the abrasive is evenly distributed on the SiC substrate and the polishing pad surface, and the mathematical model of the material removal rate MRR per unit time of SiC is expressed as:
[0020] MRR=N a (RR) V
[0021] Among them, (RR) V represents the material removal rate of a single abrasive. Since the abrasive is assumed to be uniformly distributed in the polishing solution, the number of abrasives Na in the actual contact area Ar between the polishing pad and SiC can be expressed as:
[0022]
[0023] Where A represents the actual contact area, χ represents the volume concentration of abrasive particles in the polishing solution, and D represents the average particle size of the abrasive. Assuming that the actual pressure on the polishing pad surface is P, then A r It can be expressed as:
[0024]
[0025] Where A0 represents the contact area between the polishing pad and the workpiece, E p 、E w 、v p 、v w are Young's modulus of polishing pad, Young's modulus of SiC substrate, Poisson's ratio of polishing pad, Poisson's ratio of SiC substrate, C is a constant, σ and ρ are the standard deviation of roughness height distribution of polishing pad and the average curvature radius of polished roughness peak, respectively;
[0026] During the chemical mechanical polishing process, the abrasive particles slide on the surface at a relative speed V and are pressed into the workpiece to remove material. The material removal rate (RR) of a single abrasive is V It is expressed as:
[0027]
[0028] Where β and γ represent the probability of chemical reaction on the substrate surface and the probability of the surface oxide layer being removed by mechanical effect, respectively, 0≤β≤1, 0≤γ≤1; d m is the thickness of the oxide layer, δ w Indicates the cutting depth of the abrasive on the surface of the SiC substrate;
[0029] The final formula for material removal rate MRR per unit time is:
[0030]
[0031] In addition, the physical relationship between torque, pressure and friction during polishing is:
[0032]
[0033] Where τ is the polishing torque, P is the actual pressure on the polishing pad surface, K1 is the correction coefficient, μ is the surface friction coefficient, and r is the radius of the SiC substrate. It is assumed here that the friction coefficient μ is linearly related to the surface roughness Ra, so the size of Ra is:
[0034]
[0035] Among them, k is the slope after correction by K1, and b is the constant term.
[0036] Furthermore, the step 2 specifically includes:
[0037] Since the filtering circuit uses a notch filter, it is necessary to sample the force and torque signal information and then perform spectrum analysis. The spectrum analysis method mainly uses Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform and wavelet transform to analyze the noise information that appears regularly during processing and signal acquisition for subsequent filtering circuit design.
[0038] Furthermore, in step 4, MRR is measured using a high-resolution electronic scale to measure the weight loss of silicon carbide before and after polishing, and is calculated based on the processing time and processing radius, and Ra is measured using a high-precision Taylor Hobson white light interferometer.
[0039] Furthermore, the step 7 also includes:
[0040] The neural network model used in the processing state prediction model is PINN. According to the MRR mathematical model established in step 1, MRR = N a (RR) V And the Ra mathematical model Choose two objective functions as:
[0041]
[0042]
[0043] The input values are P and τ, the output values are MRR and Ra, and the remaining parameters are considered constants;
[0044] For the real measured value MRR true and Ra true And the observed value MRR of the neural network pred and Ra pred , the data error term DataLoss is expressed as:
[0045]
[0046] The physical information error term physicsLoss is expressed as:
[0047]
[0048] The total loss function is the weighted sum of the data error term and the physical information error term:
[0049] Total Loss=α·Data Loss+β·Physics Loss
[0050] Among them, α and β are weight parameters of data error and physical information error, respectively, and appropriate values can be selected based on experience;
[0051] Finally, the optimization algorithm is used to adjust the network weights and train the processing state prediction model to minimize the overall loss function.
[0052] The present invention also provides an endpoint detection system for the polishing process of high-hardness and brittle materials, which is used to implement the endpoint detection method as described above, and includes an upper transmission shaft, a conductive slip ring, a force and torque sensor, a wafer carrier, a polishing pad, and a lower polishing plate. The upper transmission shaft, the force and torque sensor, and the wafer carrier are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the conductive slip ring is sleeved on the upper transmission shaft, the wafer carrier and the lower polishing plate are arranged up and down, a polishing workpiece is installed at the bottom of the wafer carrier, a polishing pad is arranged at the upper end of the lower polishing plate, the upper transmission shaft is driven to rotate by a first motor, and the lower polishing plate is driven to rotate by a second motor, and the conductive slip ring is used to connect a signal filtering and transmission module.
[0053] Furthermore, the signal filtering and transmission module includes a notch filter circuit, a wireless transmission device, and an edge computing module equipped with a differential tracker. The signal filtering and transmission module filters the acquired signal and uploads it to the computer through the wireless transmission device. The computer processes the collected signal and performs polishing status monitoring, and displays the data through the host computer software.
[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0055] Compared with the traditional method that requires stopping processing, repeatedly taking out the workpiece, testing the processing effect of the workpiece and evaluating whether rework is needed, the traditional method has low polishing efficiency for high-hardness and brittle materials, affecting the polishing quality and installation accuracy, resulting in a low yield rate. The present invention uses the polishing torque to perform online real-time detection of the polishing state and a method for state feedback, which can improve the polishing efficiency, improve the polishing quality and polishing yield rate, and reduce costs.
[0056] Compared with the traditional method of analyzing the current processing state based on mathematical formulas and personal experience based on the physical quantity measured by the sensor and then performing the next step of operation, the present invention uses machine learning and deep learning methods to propose a polishing processing state prediction model based on torque signals. Using the above prediction model, during the polishing process, by sampling the torque and friction force signals during the processing, the polishing state is predicted, and the processing parameters are adjusted in real time without manual intervention and personal experience to select the corresponding processing parameters, thus realizing a polishing state prediction method for high-hardness and brittle materials based on torque signals. While maintaining high-precision processing state recognition, the present invention reduces the sampling requirements of the equipment and ensures the stability of control.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.
[0063] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , an endpoint detection method for a polishing process of a high-hardness and brittle material, comprising:
[0064] Step 1: Construct a mathematical model for chemical mechanical polishing. In this method, it is assumed that the oxidant concentration and abrasive in the polishing solution are sufficient and evenly distributed. Therefore, the abrasive is evenly distributed on the SiC substrate and the polishing pad surface. The mathematical model of the material removal rate (MRR) per unit time of SiC can be expressed as:
[0065] MRR=N a (RR) V
[0066] Among them, (RR) V represents the material removal rate of a single abrasive. Since the abrasive is assumed to be uniformly distributed in the polishing solution, the number of abrasives Na in the actual contact area Ar between the polishing pad and SiC can be expressed as:
[0067]
[0068] Among them, A r It represents the actual contact area. Considering that there are many micro protrusions on the surface of the polishing pad, the surface is relatively rough. Therefore, the actual contact area A between the SiC substrate and the polishing pad is ris smaller than the surface area of the substrate. Assuming the actual pressure on the polishing pad surface is P, then A r It can be expressed as:
[0069]
[0070] Where A0 represents the contact area between the polishing pad and the workpiece, E p 、E w 、v p 、v w are Young's modulus of the polishing pad, Young's modulus of the SiC substrate, Poisson's ratio of the polishing pad, Poisson's ratio of the SiC substrate, C is a constant, σ and ρ are the standard deviation of the roughness height distribution of the polishing pad and the average curvature radius of the polished roughness peak, respectively.
[0071] During the chemical mechanical polishing process, the abrasive particles slide on the surface at a relative speed V and are pressed into the workpiece to remove material. The material removal rate (RR) of a single abrasive is V It can be expressed as an equation:
[0072]
[0073] Where β and γ represent the probability of chemical reaction on the substrate surface and the probability of the surface oxide layer being removed by mechanical effect, respectively, 0≤β≤1, 0≤γ≤1; d m is the thickness of the oxide layer, δ w Indicates the cutting depth of the abrasive on the surface of the SiC substrate.
[0074] The final formula for the material removal rate per unit time (MRR) is:
[0075]
[0076] In addition, the physical relationship between torque, pressure and friction during polishing is:
[0077]
[0078] Among them, τ is the polishing torque, P is the actual pressure on the polishing pad surface, K1 is the correction coefficient, and μ is the surface friction coefficient. Due to the large number of interference factors, a state observer needs to be established to realize the specific μ function.
[0079] Here it is assumed that the friction coefficient μ is linearly related to the surface roughness Ra, so the size of Ra is:
[0080]
[0081] Among them, k is the slope after correction by K1, and b is the constant term.
[0082] Step 2: Build a test platform to collect force and torque signals. Due to the notch filter used in the filtering circuit, it is necessary to sample the force and torque signal information and then perform spectrum analysis. The spectrum analysis method mainly uses Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform and wavelet transform to analyze the noise information that appears regularly during processing and signal acquisition.
[0083] Step 3, the circuit design of the edge computing platform is mainly composed of a 50HZ double-T notch filter circuit, a single-chip microcomputer module for implementing a differential tracker, a power supply voltage regulator module, a computing chip, and a wireless communication module, which are used to power the circuit board and the sensor, convert the signal to ADC, and upload the data. The circuit design is a well-known technology and will not be described in detail.
[0084] Step 4, perform parameter control experiments. Since the main factors of polishing effect and efficiency include parameters such as polishing liquid concentration, polishing liquid temperature, polishing torque, polishing pressure, polishing speed, and polishing time, control the polishing liquid concentration, polishing liquid temperature, polishing speed, and polishing time, adjust the polishing pressure and polishing torque to conduct experiments, and obtain the corresponding parameter data. At the same time, remove the workpiece at a certain interval to detect its MRR and Ra. MRR uses a high-resolution electronic scale (within 0.1 mg) to measure the weight loss of silicon carbide before and after polishing, and is calculated based on the processing time and processing radius. Ra is measured using a high-precision Taylor Hobson white light interferometer to measure Ra. At the same time, a state space observation system is established to obtain the friction coefficient of the current polishing.
[0085] Step 5, develop the upper computer system to display the experimental data obtained previously and the friction coefficient obtained by the state observation system, and design the user operation interface to provide the corresponding user operation interface, mainly including the start and stop of the polishing equipment, the manual shutdown and recovery of the end point detection, etc.
[0086] Step 6, establish the relationship between the force and torque signals and the processing state of the hard and brittle material for the experimental data obtained above, and normalize the collected force and torque signals. In order to improve the convergence speed and generalization of the neural network during the training process, it is necessary to first standardize the sample data and convert all the data into values between [0,1]. The standardization method used in the present invention is the maximum and minimum normalization method:
[0087]
[0088] Among them, x represents a data element in the data set, x k Indicates the normalized value of the data element, x max Indicates the maximum value of the data set in the data set, x min The minimum value of this data set in this data set.
[0089] Finally, a training set of the high-hardness and brittle material processing state prediction model based on force and torque signals is obtained.
[0090] Step 7: Use the normalized data set to train the processing state prediction model. The neural network model used is PINN. PINN is a machine learning model that combines deep learning and physics knowledge. It uses physical laws to guide the model during the learning process, which can greatly improve the generalization ability of the model, especially when there is less data or more noise. According to the mathematical model established in step 1, two objective functions are selected:
[0091]
[0092]
[0093] The input values are P and τ, the output values are MRR and Ra, and the remaining parameters are considered constants.
[0094] The data error term measures the difference between the predicted output of the neural network and the actual observed data. For a given input P and τ, there are two target outputs MRR and Ra. For the actual measured value MRR true and Ra true And the observed value MRR of the neural network pred and Ra pred , the data error term DataLoss can be expressed as:
[0095]
[0096] The physical information error term physicsLoss can be expressed as:
[0097]
[0098] The total loss function is the weighted sum of the data error term and the physical information error term:
[0099] Total Loss=α·Data Loss+β·Physics Loss
[0100] Among them, α and β are the weight parameters of data error and physical information error respectively, and appropriate values can be selected based on experience.
[0101] Finally, gradient descent or other conventional optimization algorithms are used to adjust the network weights and train the processing state prediction model to minimize the overall loss function.
[0102] Step 8: Use the trained processing state prediction model to perform endpoint detection, where the reference basis of the endpoint detection standard of the processing state prediction model is the material removal rate MRR and the surface roughness Ra. The polishing endpoint is reached when Ra is less than the standard threshold and MRR is within the set threshold range.
[0103] The signal processing flow is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, after filtering by notch filter and differential tracker, signal processing is performed through Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform and wavelet transform, and the state observer is used to observe the change of μ. At the same time, the processed information is used as a model training data set, and finally a high-hardness and brittle material processing state prediction model is obtained.
[0104] Regarding the use of the prediction model for the processing state of high hardness and brittle materials during polishing, such as Figure 3 As shown, after polishing starts, real-time force and torque signal collection is carried out. After passing through the signal filtering circuit, the data is uploaded to the computer for data analysis and processing, and the processing state prediction model is entered. The processing is stopped after the polishing end point is detected. If the processing end point is not reached, the polishing state detection is carried out. If the MRR value decreases significantly and the Ra value increases significantly, the processing is stopped. If no abnormal processing state is detected, the polishing process continues.
[0105] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides an endpoint detection system for the polishing process of high-hardness and brittle materials, which is used to implement the endpoint detection method as described above, and includes an upper transmission shaft 1, a conductive slip ring 2, a force and torque sensor 3, a wafer carrier 4, a polishing pad 6, a lower polishing plate 7, an external power supply and a computer. The upper transmission shaft 1, the force and torque sensor 3, and the wafer carrier 4 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the conductive slip ring 2 is sleeved on the upper transmission shaft 1, the wafer carrier 4 and the lower polishing plate 7 are arranged up and down, the polishing workpiece 5 is installed at the bottom of the wafer carrier 4, and the polishing pad 6 is arranged at the upper end of the lower polishing plate 7, the upper transmission shaft 1 is driven to rotate by a first motor, the lower polishing plate is driven to rotate by a second motor, and the conductive slip ring 2 is connected to a signal filtering and transmission module.
[0106] Specifically, a polishing pad 6 is placed on the upper surface of the lower polishing plate 7 for polishing. A force and torque sensor 3 is installed between the wafer carrier 4 and the upper transmission shaft 1 to obtain the torque signal and pressure signal in the axial direction. A conductive slip ring 2 is installed above the torque sensor 3 and outside the upper transmission shaft 1. The conductive slip ring 2 is used to connect the signal filtering and transmission module and the power module. The signal filtering and transmission module contains a notch filter circuit, a wireless transmission device, and an edge computing module equipped with a differential tracker. The acquired signal is filtered and uploaded to the computer through the wireless transmission device. The computer monitors the polishing state after signal processing, and displays the data through the host computer software.
[0107] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
