Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and more particularly, to a method, device, storage medium, and equipment for monitoring the energy of a laser annealing probe. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, energy storage, rail transit and other fields, the IGBT industry has maintained a high boom; the current demand for a single IGBT chip in different usage scenarios ranges from a few amperes to several hundred amperes, and the corresponding IGBT chip area also ranges from a few square millimeters to several hundred square millimeters. With the continuous iteration and upgrading of products and the cost reduction and efficiency improvement of manufacturers, the products of the small pitch (specifically referring to the distance between the centers of two adjacent units in the semiconductor industry) generation are gradually launched, which also brings great challenges to the IGBT chip manufacturing process. Especially in deep trench etching, polysilicon filling and backside annealing processes, more precise processes are required to manufacture micro areas.

[0003] In the backside annealing process, the laser annealing process has gradually replaced the traditional furnace annealing process, playing a highly precise role in doping activation and defect repair of the device structure. However, in the current existing process manufacturing, the means of monitoring the laser annealing process is only the off-line test of the sheet resistance of the control wafer (i.e., Dummy wafer), and then the laser annealing energy is obtained.

[0004] The specific operation process is as follows: The engineer puts the Dummy wafer that has been ion implanted into the laser annealing equipment, adjusts the energy of the laser probe at the top of the equipment, anneals the Dummy wafer, takes out the Dummy wafer after executing according to the predetermined menu training recipe for sheet resistance testing (SRP), obtains the resistance of different thicknesses, calculates the activation efficiency through calculus, and then obtains the energy usage value of the laser annealing probe.

[0005] Obviously, the above-mentioned monitoring means has low efficiency and serious lag, and cannot monitor the probe energy in the manufacturing process in time. For the increasingly competitive wafer foundry, the first element is high efficiency and high quality. The online monitoring of the laser annealing process is imminent and imperative.

[0034] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device, which can be a laser annealing machine tool, a mobile phone device, a computer device or a server device. Please refer to Figure 1 , the structural schematic diagram of the electronic device. The electronic device includes a processor 10, a memory 11, and a bus 12. The processor 10 and the memory 11 are connected through the bus 12, and the processor 10 is used to execute the executable module stored in the memory 11, such as a computer program.

[0036] The processor 10 can be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. In the implementation process, each step of the laser annealing probe energy monitoring method can be completed by the integrated logic circuit in the hardware of the processor 10 or the instructions in the form of software.

[0037] The memory 11 may include a high-speed random access memory (RAM: Random Access Memory), and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk memory.

[0038] The bus 12 may be an ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus, a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus, or an EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) bus. Figure 1 Although only one bidirectional arrow is used in the figure, it does not mean that there is only one bus 12 or only one type of bus 12 .

[0039] The memory 11 is used to store programs, such as programs corresponding to the laser annealing probe energy monitoring device. The laser annealing probe energy monitoring device includes at least one software function module that can be stored in the memory 11 in the form of software or firmware or solidified in the operating system (OS) of the electronic device. After receiving the execution instruction, the processor 10 executes the program to implement the laser annealing probe energy monitoring method.

[0040] Possibly, the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes a communication interface 13. The communication interface 13 is connected to the processor 10 via a bus.

[0041] It should be understood that Figure 1 The structure shown is only a schematic diagram of a portion of the electronic device. The electronic device may also include Figure 1 More or fewer components as shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown. Figure 1 Each component shown in the figure can be implemented by hardware, software or a combination thereof.

[0042] A laser annealing probe energy monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to, but not limited to, Figure 1 For detailed procedures, please refer to the electronic equipment shown in Figure 2 , the laser annealing probe energy monitoring method includes: S301 and S302, which are specifically described as follows.

[0043] S301, acquiring a target image.

[0044] The target image is an image corresponding to a target area on the back side of a target wafer after laser annealing during the production process.

[0045] S302, inputting the target image into the target network model, and the target network model outputs the probe energy value when the target area is subjected to laser annealing.

[0046] Among them, the target network model is a neural network model used for matching the sample wafer and the target wafer for training.

[0047] Through the laser annealing probe energy monitoring method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, during the subsequent laser annealing process of IGBT wafers, the depth of the special texture marks on the back of the wafers can be directly monitored, and then the energy used in the laser annealing process can be obtained. Timely online monitoring of the energy in laser annealing facilitates directly capturing data when troubleshooting CP Issues (abnormal chip test parameters), saving the time for extended sheet resistance testing in failure analysis.

[0048] It should be understood that during the wafer production process, it may go through different process flows, the thickness of the wafer may be different, and the ion implantation energy may also be different. To avoid incorrect identification of the probe energy value caused by the above differences. The embodiments of the present invention provide an alternative implementation manner. Please refer to Figure 3 , the laser annealing probe energy monitoring method further includes: S201, S202, and S203, which are specifically described as follows.

[0049] S201, obtain the process characteristic data according to the target wafer.

[0050] Among them, the process characteristic data includes the thickness data and ion implantation energy data of the target wafer.

[0051] S202, determine the sample wafers that meet the first matching condition, the second matching condition, and the third matching condition as the sample wafers matching the target wafer.

[0052] Among them, the first matching condition means that the process flow of the sample wafer before laser annealing is the same as that of the target wafer before laser annealing, the second matching condition means that the thickness data of the sample wafer is the same as the thickness data of the target wafer, and the third matching condition means that the absolute value of the difference between the ion implantation energy data of the sample wafer and the ion implantation energy data of the target wafer is less than the error threshold.

[0053] It should be understood that when the ion implantation energy difference is large, it may affect the wafer structure. Therefore, setting the third matching condition can exclude the influence brought by the ion implantation energy difference.

[0054] It should be noted that when training the neural network model, under the condition of the same process flow and thickness data, samples with various different ion implantation energies can be obtained for training.

[0055] S203, use the neural network model trained based on the sample wafers matching the target wafer as the target network model.

[0056] On the basis of the foregoing, regarding the process of training the neural network model, the embodiments of the present invention also provide an alternative implementation manner. Please refer to the following text. The process of training the neural network model includes: S101 to S110, which are specifically described as follows.

[0057] S101, Obtain M×N target sample wafers.

[0059] S102, Control the laser annealing machine to perform laser annealing on the i-th region of the m-th target sample wafer in the n-th group according to the energy level of (m - 1)×4 + i.

[0060] Among them, 1≤n≤N, 1≤m≤M, 1≤i≤4.

[0061] Optionally, the back of each target sample wafer is divided into 4 fan-shaped regions with equal areas, and the wafer can be divided into 4 fan-shaped regions according to a cross; for each group of target sample wafers, the initial values of i, n, and m are all 1.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 , which is the schematic diagram of the fan-shaped region provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Among them, Qi represents the i-th region of the target sample wafer.

[0063] S103, After completing the laser annealing of the i-th region of the m-th target sample wafer in the n-th group, determine whether (m - 1)×4 + i is less than the maximum energy level. If (m - 1)×4 + i is less than the maximum energy level, execute S104; if (m - 1)×4 + i is equal to the maximum energy level, execute S107.

[0064] Among them, the maximum energy level ≤ M×4.

[0065] S104, Determine whether i < 4 holds. If i < 4, execute S105; if i = 4, execute S106.

[0066] It should be noted that because the execution result of S103 is that (m - 1)×4 + i is less than the maximum energy level, if i < 4, it means that the m-th target sample wafer in the n-th group has not completed the laser annealing of all regions, so let i = i + 1. If i = 4, m must be less than M, and the (m + 1)-th target sample wafer still needs to be subjected to laser annealing, so let m = m + 1.

[0067] S105, Let i = i + 1.

[0068] And repeat to execute S102, control the laser annealing machine to perform laser annealing on the i-th region of the m-th target sample wafer in the n-th group according to the energy level of (m - 1)×4 + i;

[0069] S106, if i = 4, then set i = 1 and set m = m + 1.

[0070] And repeatedly execute S102 to control the laser annealing machine to perform laser annealing on the i-th region of the m-th target sample wafer in the n-th group according to the energy level of (m - 1)×4 + i.

[0071] If (m - 1)×4 + i is equal to the maximum energy level, execute S107.

[0072] S107, determine whether n < N holds. If n < N, then execute S108; if n = N, then execute S109.

[0073] S108, set n = n + 1, set m = 1, and set i = 1.

[0074] And repeatedly execute S102 to control the laser annealing machine to perform laser annealing on the i-th region of the m-th target sample wafer in the n-th group according to the energy level of (m - 1)×4 + i.

[0075] S109, stop laser annealing, obtain the sample images corresponding to each region in each target sample wafer, and add corresponding labels to the sample images.

[0076] Wherein, the label of the sample image is the probe energy value during laser annealing of the corresponding region.

[0077] Optionally, the sample image includes special texture imprints formed in the corresponding region during laser annealing. The depth of the imprints is related to the energy value of laser annealing.

[0080] Optionally, the (k + 1)-th level energy - the k-th level energy = the preset energy difference, 1 ≤ k ≤ K - 1, and K represents the maximum energy level.

[0081] During laser annealing, the change amount of the laser annealing imprint depth pattern of the wafer caused by the energy difference is greater than or equal to the minimum visual difference.

[0082] Optionally, the value of the energy difference is 0.05 mJ.
