[0025] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0026] Embodiment 1: like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a method for optimizing semiconductor etching process parameters, including steps S100 to S500.

[0027] Step S100: acquiring real-time data of a semiconductor etching process during the etching process, and preprocessing the real-time data to obtain a cleaned data set.

[0028] In this step, sensors and detection equipment are used to collect data in the etching process in real time, including parameters such as air pressure, temperature, RF power, and etching rate. Specifically, these real-time data are transmitted to the processing unit through the data acquisition system for preliminary filtering and denoising to remove outliers and interference data, thereby obtaining a cleaned data set.

[0029] For example, during the etching process, the changes in gas pressure and temperature are monitored in real time, and data points with excessive fluctuations are filtered out through algorithms to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the cleaned data set.

[0030] Step S200: extract key features that affect the etching effect based on the cleaned data set, input the key features into a preset prediction model, and obtain a predicted value of the etching residual thickness, a predicted value of the etching sidewall angle, and a predicted value of the etching rate deviation.

[0031] In this step, data analysis technology is used to extract characteristic parameters that have a significant impact on the etching effect from the cleaned data set, such as etching time, gas type and flow rate, RF power, etc. Specifically, feature engineering methods are used to standardize and normalize these features to facilitate model training and prediction.

[0032] For example, in the semiconductor etching process, etching time and RF power are extracted as key features, and the preset machine learning model is used for training and prediction to obtain the predicted value of etching residual thickness.

[0033] Step S300, generating an etching state weight matrix according to the etching residual thickness prediction value, the etching sidewall angle prediction value and the etching rate deviation prediction value, optimizing and adjusting the gas pressure distribution parameters of the etching chamber based on the etching state weight matrix to obtain a gas pressure setting value.

[0034] In this step, a weight matrix reflecting the etching state is generated according to the etching parameters obtained by the prediction model. Specifically, a multidimensional data matrix is ​​used to represent the weight distribution of different parameters on the etching effect, and the gas pressure of the etching chamber is optimized and adjusted in combination with the current process state.

[0035] For example, through weight matrix analysis, it is found that the gas pressure at a certain moment has a greater impact on the etching residual thickness, so the gas pressure parameters at that moment are appropriately adjusted to optimize the etching effect.

[0036] Step S400, obtaining temperature distribution data of the etching chamber, calculating the gas pressure setting value and the temperature distribution data to obtain an etching uniformity correction parameter, adjusting the RF power distribution based on the etching uniformity correction parameter, and obtaining the RF power setting value.

[0037] In this step, the temperature distribution of each area in the etching chamber is monitored in real time using a temperature sensor, and these data are calculated and analyzed together with the gas pressure setting value. Specifically, through the numerical analysis method, the parameters used to correct the etching uniformity are calculated, and the RF power distribution is adjusted to make the etching process more uniform.

[0038] For example, when the temperature of a certain area in the etching chamber is high, the RF power in this area is appropriately reduced to achieve uniform etching.

[0039] Step S500: Optimizing semiconductor etching process parameters using RF power setting values ​​and gas pressure setting values.

[0040] In this step, the optimized and adjusted RF power setting value and gas pressure setting value are applied to the actual semiconductor etching process. Specifically, by accurately controlling the RF power and gas pressure, the stability and accuracy of the etching process are ensured, and the uniformity of the etching effect is improved.

[0041] For example, in the actual etching process, strictly following the optimized parameters can significantly improve the consistency and repeatability of the etching process.

[0042] In this embodiment, by acquiring real-time data of the semiconductor etching process during the etching process and preprocessing the real-time data, a cleaned data set is obtained. Then, based on the cleaned data set, key features that affect the etching effect are extracted, and the key features are input into a preset prediction model to obtain a predicted value of the etching residual thickness, a predicted value of the etching sidewall angle, and a predicted value of the etching rate deviation. An etching state weight matrix is ​​generated based on these predicted values, and the gas pressure distribution parameters of the etching chamber are optimized and adjusted based on the etching state weight matrix to obtain a gas pressure setting value. Next, the temperature distribution data of the etching chamber is obtained, and the gas pressure setting value and the temperature distribution data are calculated to obtain an etching uniformity correction parameter, and the RF power distribution is adjusted based on the etching uniformity correction parameter to finally obtain the RF power setting value. The semiconductor etching process parameters are optimized using the RF power setting value and the gas pressure setting value.

[0043] Through the preprocessing of real-time data and the extraction of key features, this method can effectively improve the accuracy and stability of the etching process. The optimization adjustment based on the prediction model can not only adapt to the complex and changeable process environment, but also greatly improve the process consistency of the etching chamber. This solution not only improves work efficiency and reduces dependence on operator experience, but also ensures higher etching uniformity and accuracy, meets the requirements of high precision and high efficiency in the semiconductor manufacturing process, improves the problems of low efficiency, insufficient accuracy and poor adaptability when the process complexity and real-time requirements are high, and realizes high-precision, high-efficiency and high-stability semiconductor etching process parameter optimization.

[0044] Embodiment 2: In step S100, an original data set in the etching process is acquired; wherein the original data set includes plasma emission spectrum data, etching chamber pressure data and etching layer material characteristic data.

[0045] Real-time data acquisition is performed by using highly sensitive sensors and advanced acquisition systems. Specifically, the plasma emission spectrum data is spectrally analyzed to obtain the specific spectral line distribution of plasma excitation. A high-precision pressure sensor is used for the etching chamber pressure data to record real-time pressure changes and synchronize the data with a timestamp. For the material characteristic data of the etching layer, the chemical composition and physical properties of the etching layer are measured in detail by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis (EDS).

[0046] For example, during the etching process, laser induced spectroscopy (LIBS) is used to monitor the spectral distribution of the plasma in real time, while a high-frequency data acquisition system is used to synchronously record the pressure changes in the chamber. These data are transmitted to the control center via the network and combined with the composition and structural analysis results of the etched material to form a complete original data set.

[0047] The plasma emission spectrum data is transformed in the frequency domain to obtain the plasma excitation characteristic distribution, and the etching chamber pressure data is decomposed into time series to obtain the dynamic fluctuation component.

[0048] The plasma emission spectrum data is converted from the time domain to the frequency domain by Fourier transform. Specifically, the main spectral characteristic peaks are identified and the spectral energy of different bands is normalized. Wavelet transform is applied to the etching chamber pressure data to decompose the time series and extract the high-frequency and low-frequency components in order to better analyze the dynamic characteristics of pressure fluctuations.

[0049] For example, by performing frequency domain analysis on the spectral data of an etching chamber, it was found that the plasma excitation has a significant peak at a specific wavelength, indicating that the energy corresponding to this wavelength varies greatly. At the same time, by analyzing the pressure data of the etching chamber through wavelet analysis, the short-term components and long-term trends of the pressure fluctuations are obtained, which helps to understand the instantaneous pressure changes during the etching process.

[0050] The short-period pressure fluctuation compensation value of the etching chamber is calculated based on the dynamic fluctuation component, and the etching condition adjustment factor is generated based on the short-period pressure fluctuation compensation value. The etching condition adjustment factor is corrected using the etching layer material characteristic data to obtain the material adaptation correction value, and the etching surface charge accumulation parameter is calculated based on the material adaptation correction value to obtain the dynamic charge distribution of the etching process.

[0051] By establishing a pressure fluctuation compensation model, specifically, according to the short-period fluctuation component, the real-time pressure compensation value is calculated to adjust the pressure setting during the etching process. Using the material characteristic data of the etching layer, the working condition adjustment factor is corrected to adapt it to the etching requirements of different materials, and by calculating the surface charge accumulation parameters, the distribution change of the charge during the etching process is predicted.

[0052] For example, through experimental analysis of the etching layer of a certain material, it was found that the charge accumulation effect was obvious under a specific pressure. Based on this data, the operating factor was adjusted so that the etching process could maintain a stable charge distribution and ensure the uniformity of the etching effect.

[0053] The plasma energy density mapping matrix is ​​calculated based on the etching surface charge accumulation parameters and the plasma excitation characteristic distribution. The plasma energy density mapping matrix is ​​fused with the short-period pressure fluctuation compensation value to obtain the etching stability factor and etching rate compensation factor.

[0054] By integrating the charge accumulation parameters and plasma excitation characteristics, a plasma energy density mapping matrix is ​​constructed to represent the energy distribution under different etching conditions. The matrix is ​​combined with the short-period pressure fluctuation compensation value to calculate the etching stability factor, which is used to evaluate the stability of the etching process, and the etching rate compensation factor is calculated to optimize the etching rate.

[0055] For example, it is found through experiments that the etching rate changes significantly under a specific plasma energy density. Combined with the pressure compensation value, the etching stability factor is calculated so that the etching rate can be kept within the ideal range under changing etching conditions.

[0056] The original data set is screened using the etching stability factor and the etching rate compensation factor, and the screened data set is normalized to obtain a cleaned data set.

[0057] By applying a screening algorithm, specifically, data points in the original data set that do not meet the stability and rate requirements are removed, and the remaining data are normalized to be within the same magnitude range to facilitate subsequent analysis and model training.

[0058] For example, by screening an experimental data set, it is found that some data points are removed due to abnormal fluctuations. After normalization, the distribution of the cleaned data set in each parameter is more uniform, which is conducive to the subsequent feature extraction and prediction model application.

[0059] In step S200, a data mining algorithm is applied to extract key features that affect the etching effect from the cleaned data set; wherein the key features include etching chamber gas composition change data, RF power real-time fluctuation data, and etching electrode potential distribution data.

[0060] By constructing a multidimensional data analysis model, specifically, applying multivariate statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms, characteristic parameters closely related to the etching effect are extracted from the cleaned data set. For the gas component change data, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis methods are used to identify the changes in gas composition under different working conditions. For the real-time fluctuation data of RF power, a high-frequency data acquisition system is used to record the fluctuation of RF power at different time points. For the etching electrode potential distribution data, a potentiometer and electric field sensor are used to measure the potential change on the electrode surface.

[0061] For example, by analyzing the data of a certain etching process, it was found that the change in the ratio of nitrogen and oxygen in the chamber significantly affects the etching rate. At the same time, the RF power fluctuates at a certain moment, resulting in uneven etching depth. The distribution of electrode potential also reflects the change of the electric field during the etching process. These characteristic parameters have a significant impact on the etching effect.

[0062] The RF power deviation factor is calculated through the real-time RF power fluctuation data, and the dynamic response parameters of the etching electrode are calculated through the etching electrode potential distribution data.

[0063] By establishing a radio frequency power fluctuation model, specifically, according to the real-time recorded radio frequency power data, the power offset at each time point is calculated, and these offsets are statistically analyzed to generate the radio frequency power offset factor. By performing curve fitting and dynamic response analysis on the etching electrode potential distribution data, the dynamic response parameters of the electrode under different working conditions are calculated.

[0064] For example, in a certain etching process, by calculating the RF power offset factor, it was found that the power fluctuation in a certain period of time was large, resulting in inconsistent etching depth. By analyzing the dynamic response data of the electrode, it was found that the response time of the electrode under different pressures and temperatures was significantly different. These parameters help optimize the etching process.

[0065] The plasma active particle density is calculated using the RF power offset factor and the dynamic response parameters of the etching electrode. The plasma active particle density and the etching chamber gas component change data are jointly analyzed to obtain the etching uniformity feature group.

[0066] By integrating the RF power offset factor and the electrode dynamic response parameters, a plasma physics model is constructed to calculate the plasma active particle density under different etching conditions. These particle density data are analyzed and correlated with the gas component change data to identify the etching uniformity feature group for etching process optimization.

[0067] For example, by numerically simulating the distribution of active particles in the plasma, combined with the actual measured RF power offset and electrode response parameters, the plasma active particle density is calculated. This is then combined with the gas composition change data for analysis to obtain a characteristic parameter group for etching uniformity.

[0068] An etching region energy distribution matrix is ​​constructed according to an etching uniformity feature group and etching chamber environmental parameters; wherein the etching chamber environmental parameters refer to parameters affecting plasma reaction such as gas pressure parameters, temperature parameters, and gas flow parameters.

[0069] By constructing an energy distribution model for the etching area, specifically, combining parameters such as gas pressure, temperature, and gas flow, the energy distribution in different areas is calculated. The matrix is ​​used to represent the energy distribution characteristics under different working conditions, providing a basis for subsequent process optimization.

[0070] For example, by simulating the energy distribution in the etching chamber and combining it with the actual gas pressure and temperature data, it was found that the energy density in a certain area was low, resulting in uneven etching. By adjusting the gas flow rate and RF power, the energy distribution was optimized and the consistency of the etching effect was improved.

[0071] The material removal rate characteristic group is calculated through the etching area energy distribution matrix and the etching layer material characteristic parameters, and the etching reaction area distribution characteristics are obtained. The etching residual thickness prediction value is calculated based on the etching reaction area distribution characteristics; wherein the etching layer material characteristic parameters refer to the physical and chemical properties of the material's chemical composition, density parameters, and reactivity parameters.

[0072] By establishing a material removal rate model, specifically, combining the etching area energy distribution matrix and the physical and chemical properties of the material, the removal rate of different materials during the etching process is calculated. Using these characteristic parameters, the etching residual thickness is predicted and the etching reaction area distribution characteristics are generated.

[0073] For example, by experimentally measuring the removal rates of different materials during etching, it was found that some materials are removed faster under high temperature conditions. Combined with energy distribution data, the residual thickness after etching can be predicted, the etching process parameters can be optimized, and the etching uniformity can be improved.

[0074] The etching sidewall potential change is calculated based on the etching surface charge accumulation parameters, the etching sidewall morphology parameters are calculated according to the etching sidewall potential change and the plasma active particle density, and the etching sidewall angle prediction value is generated according to the etching sidewall morphology parameters.

[0075] By establishing an etching sidewall potential change model, specifically, using the surface charge accumulation parameter to calculate the sidewall potential change, and combining the plasma active particle density data to calculate the morphological parameters of the etching sidewall, the angle change of the etching sidewall is predicted based on these morphological parameters, and the etching process is optimized.

[0076] For example, by experimentally measuring the etching sidewall morphology under different working conditions, it was found that the change in potential significantly affects the sidewall angle. Combined with the plasma particle density data, the sidewall angle under different conditions was predicted, the etching parameters were optimized, and the etching accuracy was improved.

[0077] The etching rate adjustment coefficient is calculated based on the short-period pressure fluctuation compensation value, and the etching rate adjustment coefficient is weightedly fused with the etching uniformity feature group to obtain the etching rate deviation prediction value.

[0078] By comprehensively analyzing the short-period pressure fluctuation compensation value, specifically, calculating the etching rate adjustment coefficient, and combining the etching uniformity feature group, the etching rate under different working conditions is predicted and adjusted. Using these predicted values, the etching process is optimized to ensure the consistency of the etching process.

[0079] For example, it is found through experiments that under certain pressure conditions, the etching rate deviates significantly from the expected value. By calculating the etching rate adjustment coefficient and combining the uniformity feature group, the etching rate is adjusted to optimize the etching process parameters.

[0080] Among them, the calculation formula for calculating the etching sidewall morphology parameters based on the etching sidewall potential change and the plasma active particle density is as follows: in, is the etching side wall morphology parameter, The potential change of the etching side wall is is the plasma active particle density, and is the constant obtained from experimental fitting.

[0081] By establishing a detailed mathematical model, specifically, using experimental data and numerical simulation results, the constants in the formula are fitted and , accurately predict the morphological parameters of the etched sidewalls and optimize the etching process based on these parameters.

[0082] For example, by fitting experimental data, the and The formula is used to predict the sidewall morphology under different conditions. Combined with the actual process parameters, the potential and particle density in the etching process are optimized to improve the etching accuracy.

[0083] In step S300, the residual thickness prediction value and the etching sidewall angle prediction value are used to calculate the etching layer thickness distribution weight, the etching rate adjustment factor is calculated by combining the etching layer thickness distribution weight with the etching rate deviation prediction value, and the etching state weight matrix is ​​generated based on the etching rate adjustment factor.

[0084] By establishing the distribution model of residual thickness and sidewall angle, specifically, the predicted values ​​are used to calculate the thickness distribution weights of each region.
