Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mass spectrometry detection, and in particular to a method for fixed-point detection of doping element content in crystalline silicon. Background Art
[0002] Ion implantation is a technology that can be used to introduce doping elements into crystalline silicon to adjust the electrical properties of crystalline silicon. Specifically, an ion beam with a certain energy is bombarded onto the surface of crystalline silicon. After entering the silicon crystal, the ions will undergo a series of collisions with silicon atoms, gradually lose energy and stay at different depths, forming a concentration distribution curve similar to a Gaussian distribution. It can be seen that the concentration of doping elements is different at different depths, and the depth distribution and element concentration of doping elements in crystalline silicon have a decisive influence on the performance of the device. Therefore, fixed-point detection of the element content of doping elements at a certain ion depth in crystalline silicon plays a vital role in optimizing device design and manufacturing processes.
[0003] At present, the methods used to detect the elemental concentration of doping elements in semiconductor materials include secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS). Among them, the sector magnetic field detector of glow discharge mass spectrometry is limited in rapid analysis due to the characteristics of atomic mass order, and the detection time of each sample is relatively long. SIMS is a method currently used to detect the elemental content of doping elements at different ion depths. SIMS bombards the sample surface with primary ions, induces secondary ions, and analyzes them through a mass spectrometer. The energy distribution and nucleus-mass ratio of secondary ions reflect the information of the target elements, and the curve of signal intensity change with time reflects the change of target element abundance with depth. It has a high depth resolution and can perform micron to nanometer depth analysis on the sample surface.
[0004] The journal "SIMS Quantitative Detection of Phosphorus Impurities in Silicon" (Chen Mihui et al., Electronic Technology, Vol. 23, No. 9, 2010) discloses a method for detecting the element content of phosphorus in single crystal silicon by SIMS. Specifically, Cs + As a primary ion source, the sample surface is bombarded to form secondary ions by sputtering. The silicon is uniformly doped with phosphorus and the body concentration of phosphorus is 1×10 15 cm -3 The single crystal silicon of is used as the standard sample, and the phosphorus content of the single crystal silicon is calculated by calculating the relative sensitivity factor. The above method relies on the standard material of the same matrix during the quantitative analysis process, but the standard material is not easy to obtain and is expensive.
[0005] Therefore, it is of practical significance to optimize and improve the secondary ion mass spectrometry method to obtain a method for fixed-point detection of the doping element content at a certain ion depth in crystalline silicon, which can not only ensure the accuracy of detection but also avoid the use of standard samples.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0040] In crystalline silicon produced by ion implantation technology, the concentration of doping elements is different at different ion depths. The depth distribution and element concentration of doping elements in crystalline silicon have a decisive influence on its performance. In the prior art, secondary ion mass spectrometry is the most commonly used method to detect the content of doping elements in crystalline silicon, but it relies on standard substances of the same matrix, which are difficult to obtain and expensive.
[0041] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for fixed-point detection of the content of doping elements in crystalline silicon. The present invention selects a crystalline silicon sample containing doping elements as a sample to be tested, wherein the crystalline silicon sample containing doping elements is prepared by ion implantation technology, and the ion depth of the doping elements in the crystalline silicon sample prepared by this technology is known. Secondary ion mass spectrometry is first used to detect the unit signal intensity u of the crystalline silicon sample. i The total signal intensity U is calculated, and the total content n of doping elements in the crystalline silicon sample is detected by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The unit signal intensity u corresponding to the βth unit time is used β , the total signal intensity U and the total content N of the doping elements in the crystalline silicon sample, and calculate the content N of the doping elements at different ion depths in the crystalline silicon sample. Specifically,
[0042] In the secondary ion mass spectrometry process, the sample to be tested is first placed in the secondary ion mass spectrometer, and the surface of the sample to be tested is bombarded with a primary ion beam to sputter out secondary ions. By controlling the sputtering speed v and unit time t of the secondary ions in the secondary ion mass spectrometry, combined with the total ion depth H of the doping element in the sample to be tested and the ion depth h of the doping element to be detected at a fixed point, the formula (II) is used: And formula (III) The total number of time intervals α and the number of unit times β corresponding to the doping element to be detected at a fixed point are calculated. In formula (II) and formula (III), rounding is rounding up to the nearest integer, that is, rounding the calculation result up to the nearest integer. For example, when the ion depth of the doping element P to be detected at a fixed point in crystalline silicon is 240.0nm, the secondary ion sputtering speed is controlled to be 0.6nm / s, and the unit time is 15s, 26.6667 is calculated using formula (III). After rounding up, β=27.
[0043] The present invention can achieve the equidivision of the total ion depth of the crystalline silicon sample by controlling the sputtering speed and unit time of the secondary ions, and obtain the unit ion depth, so as to ensure that the unit ion depth after equidivision is thin enough, thereby ensuring that the doping elements corresponding to the unit ion depth are evenly distributed and the loss of the secondary ion sputtering speed during the sputtering process can be ignored. Then the signal intensity corresponding to each unit time is detected, which is the unit signal intensity u i , unit signal strength u i It can be used to characterize the unit ion depth. The unit signal intensity u corresponding to α unit time i The total signal intensity U is obtained by adding them up. The total signal intensity can be used to characterize the total ion depth of the doping element that needs to be detected at a fixed point.
[0044] The sample to be tested after secondary ion mass spectrometry is subjected to microwave digestion to obtain a sample solution to be tested, and the total content n of the doping elements in the crystalline silicon sample can be measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Among them, the loss of the sample to be tested during the secondary ion mass spectrometry process is relatively small. Therefore, the loss of the sample to be tested due to SIMS is ignored in the present invention.
[0045] Finally, take the unit number β corresponding to the ion depth of the doping element to be detected at the fixed point, and use the unit signal intensity u corresponding to the βth unit time measured β , the total signal intensity U and the total content n of the doping element, the doping element content N at a certain ion depth can be calculated.
