[0049] This application discloses a silicon wafer measurement method, and its flow chart is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0050] Step S11, obtaining a silicon wafer measurement request;
[0051] Step S12, in response to the wafer measurement request, retrieve information in a target measurement list, the target measurement list including position parameters and configuration parameters of at least one measurement target on the wafer to be measured, at least one measurement target in the target measurement list being of the same type;
[0052] Step S13, setting measurement configuration data based on the configuration parameters in the target measurement list;
[0053] Step S14: measuring at least one measurement target included in the target measurement list according to the position parameters based on the measurement configuration data that has been set.
[0054] Wafer metrology is the process of performing a series of tests and analyses on silicon wafers to ensure that they meet the quality standards and requirements of the semiconductor manufacturing process.
[0055] Silicon wafer measurement usually defines the measurement target points that need to be measured in the measurement field, and performs the measurement test process for each target point separately. The measurement target points on the same silicon wafer are independent of each other, so there will be different measurement rules. During the measurement process, the measurement parameters need to be switched frequently, which will lead to reduced measurement efficiency.
[0056] For example, in a measurement field corresponding to a silicon wafer, there are 20 measurement targets, including 4 different types of measurement targets, and 5 measurement targets of each type. Then, 20 measurement tests need to be created and set up and trained separately, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0057] Based on this, a measurement list is created in this solution. The same measurement list records the information of the same type of measurement targets. When it is necessary to measure the silicon wafer to be measured, the same type of measurement targets are retrieved according to the measurement list. There is no need to set up and measure the measurement Tests of multiple measurement targets of the same type multiple times, and there is no need to frequently switch measurement parameters, that is, measurement configuration data, which improves measurement efficiency and simplifies the measurement process.
[0058] Specifically, obtaining a silicon wafer measurement request may be as follows: if it is detected that a silicon wafer is placed at the target position, it is determined that the silicon wafer needs to be measured, and at this time, a silicon wafer measurement request may be automatically generated, wherein the silicon wafer to be measured in the silicon wafer measurement request is the silicon wafer placed at the target position; or, it may be as follows: first obtaining a request input by a user, and then prompting the user to place a silicon wafer at the target position based on the request; after the silicon wafer is placed at the target position, it is determined that the placed silicon wafer is the silicon wafer to be measured, and based on this, a silicon wafer measurement request is generated, so as to respond to the silicon wafer measurement request and automatically execute subsequent processes.
[0059] After obtaining the wafer measurement request, the wafer requested for measurement in the wafer measurement request, ie, the wafer to be measured, is determined, and in response to the wafer measurement request, information in the target measurement list is retrieved.
[0060] The target measurement list is used to record the position information and configuration parameters of at least part of the measurement targets on the silicon wafer to be measured, and at least part of the measurement targets recorded therein are the same type of measurement targets on the silicon wafer to be measured.
[0061] Taking the target measurement list recording the measurement targets of the target type on the silicon wafer to be measured as an example, if the silicon wafer to be measured includes multiple measurement targets, among which the number of measurement targets of the target type is 1, then the target measurement list records the 1 measurement target of the target type on the silicon wafer to be measured; if the number of measurement targets of the target type on the silicon wafer to be measured is n, and n is a positive integer greater than 1, then the target measurement list records the n measurement targets of the target type on the silicon wafer to be measured.
[0062] The silicon wafer to be measured includes multiple measurement targets, and different measurement targets are located at different positions of the silicon wafer to be measured. In order to accurately measure each measurement target on the silicon wafer to be measured, it is necessary to accurately determine the position of each measurement target on the silicon wafer to be measured and record it in the corresponding position in the corresponding measurement list.
[0063] In addition, the same configuration parameters are configured for the measurement targets of the same type on the silicon wafer to be measured, and the configuration parameters are recorded in the measurement list. For example, the position information of all measurement targets of the target type on the silicon wafer to be measured is recorded in the target measurement list, and the same configuration parameters corresponding to all measurement targets of the target type on the silicon wafer to be measured are also recorded in the target measurement list, so that when measuring the measurement targets of the target type, the information in the target measurement list can be directly called.
[0064] Among them, the configuration parameters are data used to configure the measurement tool. The measurement tool can be a measurement camera, etc. When the measurement tool is configured according to the configuration parameters, it can measure the measurement target of the type corresponding to the configuration parameters; if the measurement tool is not configured according to the configuration parameters, it cannot accurately measure the measurement target of the type corresponding to the configuration parameters.
[0065] Therefore, in response to a silicon wafer measurement request, after retrieving the information in the target measurement list, the measurement configuration data of the measurement tool needs to be set according to the configuration parameters in the target measurement list, so as to realize the configuration of the measurement tool according to the target type corresponding to the target measurement list, and after the configuration is completed, the configured measurement tool is used to measure the corresponding measurement target according to the position information in the target measurement list.
[0066] For example, the target measurement list includes the location information and configuration parameters of the first measurement target, the second measurement target, and the third measurement target of the target type, wherein the location information of the first measurement target, the location information of the second measurement target, and the location information of the third measurement target are different, while the configuration parameters of the first measurement target, the configuration parameters of the second measurement target, and the configuration parameters of the third measurement target are the same. In this case, the configuration parameters can be recorded only once in the target measurement list. First, the measurement tool is set according to the configuration parameters to obtain the measurement tool that has been set, and the location information of the first measurement target is obtained by using the measurement tool that has been set, and the first measurement target is measured by using the location information of the first measurement target. After the measurement of the first measurement target is completed, the measurement tool does not need to be reset, and the next measurement can be directly performed, such as measuring the second measurement target. After the measurement of the second measurement target is completed, the measurement tool still does not need to be reset, but the next measurement can be directly performed, such as measuring the third measurement target.
[0067] Among them, the measurement order of multiple measurement targets included in the target measurement list can be executed according to the record order of the target measurement list, or the measurement order of the measurement targets in the target measurement list can be determined according to a pre-set rule, or the measurement order of the measurement targets in the target measurement list can be determined according to user needs.
[0068] The silicon wafer measurement method disclosed in this embodiment obtains a silicon wafer measurement request; in response to the silicon wafer measurement request, retrieves information in a target measurement list, the target measurement list includes position parameters and configuration parameters of at least one measurement target on the silicon wafer to be measured, and at least one measurement target in the target measurement list is of the same type; measurement configuration data is set based on the configuration parameters in the target measurement list; and at least one measurement target included in the target measurement list is measured according to the position parameters based on the measurement configuration data that has been set. When measuring the silicon wafer to be measured, this scheme can retrieve information in the target measurement list so as to measure at least one measurement target of the same type included in the target measurement list according to the information in the target measurement list. By setting information of the same type of measurement targets in the measurement list and measuring according to the measurement list during measurement, measurement targets of the same type are measured together, and the measurement configuration data of the same type of measurement targets are uniformly set, without the need to frequently switch the measurement configuration data, thereby improving the measurement efficiency.
[0069] This embodiment discloses a silicon wafer measurement method, and its flow chart is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, including:
[0070] Step S21, obtaining a silicon wafer measurement request;
[0071] Step S22, in response to the wafer measurement request, sorting at least one measurement list corresponding to the wafer to be measured specified by the wafer measurement request according to a specific rule, wherein different measurement lists include different types of measurement targets;
[0072] Step S23, retrieving information of a target measurement list in at least one measurement list according to the order, wherein the target measurement list includes position parameters and configuration parameters of at least one measurement target on the silicon wafer to be measured, and at least one measurement target in the measurement list is of the same type;
[0073] Step S24, setting measurement configuration data based on the configuration parameters in the target measurement list;
[0074] Step S25: measuring at least one measurement target included in the target measurement list according to the position parameters based on the measurement configuration data that has been set.
[0075] After obtaining a wafer measurement request, it is necessary to determine the wafer to be measured and to determine measurement lists corresponding to the multiple measurement targets included in the wafer to be measured.
[0076] The silicon wafer to be measured includes multiple measurement targets, and the multiple measurement targets belong to the same type or different types. If all the measurement targets included in the silicon wafer to be measured belong to the same type, then only one measurement list needs to be set, and the measurement list records the location information and configuration parameters of each measurement target in the silicon wafer to be measured;
[0077] If all measurement targets included in the silicon wafer to be measured belong to m different types, where m is a positive integer greater than 1, then m measurement lists need to be set up, each measurement list is used to record one type of measurement target, and different measurement lists record different types of measurement targets.
[0078] For example, the first measurement list is used to record the first type of measurement targets, the second measurement list is used to record the second type of measurement targets, and the third measurement list is used to record the third type of measurement targets. The position information of each first type of measurement target in the silicon wafer to be measured is recorded in the first measurement list, and the first measurement list also records the parameters that need to be configured when measuring the first type of measurement targets; the position information of each second type of measurement target in the silicon wafer to be measured is recorded in the second measurement list, and the second measurement list also records the parameters that need to be configured when measuring the second type of measurement targets; the position information of each third type of measurement target in the silicon wafer to be measured is recorded in the third measurement list, and the third measurement list also records the parameters required for measuring the third type of measurement targets.
[0079] If it is determined that all measurement targets included in the silicon wafer to be measured correspond to only one measurement list, that is, all measurement targets are of the same type, the measurement configuration data is directly set according to the configuration parameters recorded in the measurement list, and each measurement target in the measurement list is measured according to the set measurement configuration data, so that the measurement of the silicon wafer to be measured can be completed;
[0080] If it is determined that there are multiple measurement lists corresponding to all the measurement targets included in the silicon wafer to be measured, that is, the measurement targets included in the silicon wafer to be measured correspond to different types, at this time, the multiple measurement lists can be first sorted according to specific rules, and the different types of measurement targets can be measured respectively according to the sorting.
[0081] Among them, the specific rules can be: sorting according to the number of different types of measurement targets, such as: the number of measurement targets belonging to the first type is greater than the number of measurement targets belonging to the second type, then when sorting, the measurement list corresponding to the first type is placed before the measurement list corresponding to the second type; the specific rules can also be: sorting according to the user's selection, such as: first selecting the measurement target belonging to the first type, and then selecting the measurement target belonging to the second type, then the measurement list corresponding to the first type can be placed before the measurement list corresponding to the second type; of course, the sorting can also be determined according to the distance from a specific point, such as: pre-setting a specific point, determining the type corresponding to the measurement target closest to the specific point as the first in the sorting, and then arranging in order according to the distance. The specific rules can also be other rules, which are not specifically limited here.
[0082] Different types of measurement targets are measured according to the sorting, which can be specifically as follows: the first measurement list in the sorting is selected according to the sorting, and each measurement target included in the first measurement list is measured according to the specified order; when all measurement targets in the first measurement list are measured, the second measurement list in the sorting is selected according to the sorting, and each measurement target included in the second measurement list is measured according to the specified order; when all measurement targets in the second measurement list are measured, the third measurement list in the sorting is selected according to the sorting, and each measurement target included in the third measurement list is sorted according to the specified order, and so on, until the measurement targets included in all measurement lists are measured, the measurement of the silicon wafer to be measured is realized.
[0083] That is, after measuring at least one measurement target included in the target measurement list, information of the measurement list located after the target measurement list in the at least one measurement list is retrieved in order. The target measurement list involved in this embodiment can be any one of the multiple measurement lists.
[0084] For example, the silicon wafer to be measured corresponds to 4 measurement lists, namely, measurement list 1, measurement list 2, measurement list 3 and measurement list 4, which are sorted according to specific rules as follows: measurement list 3 → measurement list 1 → measurement list 4 → measurement list 2. Then, the information in measurement list 3 is first retrieved, and each measurement target in measurement list 3 is measured according to the measurement order in measurement list 3; when all measurement targets in measurement list 3 are measured, the information in measurement list 1 is retrieved, and each measurement target in measurement list 1 is measured according to the measurement order in measurement list 1; when all measurement targets in measurement list 1 are measured, the information in measurement list 4 is retrieved, and each measurement target in measurement list 4 is measured according to the measurement order in measurement list 4; when all measurement targets in measurement list 4 are measured, the information in measurement list 2 is retrieved, and each measurement target in measurement list 2 is measured according to the measurement order in measurement list 2.
[0085] The silicon wafer measurement method disclosed in this embodiment obtains a silicon wafer measurement request; in response to the silicon wafer measurement request, at least one measurement list corresponding to the silicon wafer to be measured specified by the silicon wafer measurement request is sorted according to a specific rule, and different measurement lists include different types of measurement targets; information of a target measurement list in at least one measurement list is retrieved according to the sorting, and the target measurement list includes position parameters and configuration parameters of at least one measurement target on the silicon wafer to be measured, and at least one measurement target in the measurement list is of the same type; measurement configuration data is set based on the configuration parameters in the target measurement list; and at least one measurement target included in the target measurement list is measured according to the position parameters based on the measurement configuration data that has been set. This solution sets different measurement lists for different types of measurement targets on the silicon wafer to be measured, and sets the position parameters and configuration parameters of measurement targets of the same type in the same measurement list to ensure that when measuring the silicon wafer to be measured, it is executed according to the measurement list, that is, measurement targets of the same type are put together for measurement, and there is no need to frequently switch measurement configuration data, thereby improving measurement efficiency.
[0086] This embodiment discloses a silicon wafer measurement method, and its flow chart is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, including:
[0087] Step S31, constructing a measurement list;
[0088] Step S32, obtaining a silicon wafer measurement request;
[0089] Step S33, in response to the wafer measurement request, retrieve information in a target measurement list, the target measurement list including position parameters and configuration parameters of at least one measurement target on the wafer to be measured, and at least one measurement target in the target measurement list is of the same type;
[0090] Step S34, setting measurement configuration data based on the configuration parameters in the target measurement list;
[0091] Step S35: measuring at least one measurement target included in the target measurement list according to the position parameters based on the measurement configuration data that has been set.
[0092] When a silicon wafer measurement request is obtained, information in a target measurement list of the silicon wafer to be measured corresponding to the silicon wafer measurement request needs to be retrieved in response to the silicon wafer measurement request, wherein the target measurement list is one of the measurement lists in the silicon wafer to be measured, and the measurement list is a pre-constructed list corresponding to multiple measurement targets of the silicon wafer to be measured, information of different types of measurement targets in the same silicon wafer to be measured is set in different measurement lists, and information of the same type of measurement targets in the same silicon wafer to be measured is set in the same measurement list.
[0093] Therefore, before obtaining a wafer measurement request, a measurement list must be constructed for multiple measurement targets included in the wafer; or, after obtaining a wafer measurement request, a wafer to be measured must be determined, and a measurement list must be constructed for multiple measurement targets included in the wafer to be measured.
[0094] Among them, constructing a measurement list can be specifically as follows: constructing a blank measurement list; recording the location information of multiple measurement targets of the first type in the blank measurement list; obtaining configuration parameters corresponding to the measurement targets of the first type; and recording the configuration parameters corresponding to the multiple measurement targets of the first type in the blank measurement list to obtain a measurement list.
[0095] When constructing a measurement list for a silicon wafer to be measured, a blank measurement list may be constructed first, and information of multiple measurement targets of a certain type may be recorded in the blank measurement list to complete filling of the blank measurement list and construct a measurement list corresponding to a certain type.
[0096] If the first type of measurement list is constructed first, after the blank measurement list is constructed, the first type of measurement targets included in the silicon wafer to be measured must be determined first, and the location information of each first type of measurement target must be determined. The location information of each first type of measurement target must first be added to the blank measurement list. In addition, the configuration parameters that need to be set to achieve the measurement of the first type of measurement target must be obtained, and the configuration parameters must be added to the blank measurement list as the configuration parameters required for measuring the first type of measurement target. When the location information and configuration parameters of the first type of measurement target are added to the blank measurement list, the measurement list corresponding to the first type of measurement target is constructed.
[0097] The construction of other types of measurement lists is the same as the construction of the first type of measurement list, and its construction method is not repeated here. In addition, the construction of different types of measurement lists for the same silicon wafer to be measured can be performed sequentially or simultaneously to save the time of building the list and improve the measurement efficiency.
[0098] Among them, the configuration parameters corresponding to the first type of measurement target can be obtained by: directly input by the user; or by: obtaining based on historical records, such as: determining the configuration parameters used when measuring the first type of measurement target in other silicon wafers in the historical records, or determining the configuration parameters corresponding to the first type of measurement target in other silicon wafers stored in the historical records.
[0099] In addition, recording the position information of multiple measurement targets of the first type in the blank measurement list can be as follows: using a coarse positioning camera to obtain a first image of the silicon wafer to be measured so as to obtain the measurement targets of the first type on the first image; and using the measurement camera and the measurement targets of the first type on the first image to determine the position information of the measurement targets of the first type on the silicon wafer to be measured.
[0100] That is, firstly, a coarse positioning camera is used for coarse positioning, and then the measurement camera is used to accurately determine the position information of the coarsely positioned measurement target.
[0101] A first image of the silicon wafer to be measured is acquired by using a coarse positioning camera. The first image is an overall plane image of the silicon wafer to be measured, and may also be a plane image of the silicon wafer to be measured included in the measurement field.
[0102] Obtaining the first type of measurement target on the first image may be: a user selects a measurement target on the first image, determines that the measurement target is of the first type, and records information of the first type of measurement target in a blank measurement list based on the user's selection; or, it may be: a system corresponding to the silicon wafer measurement method disclosed in this embodiment automatically selects a measurement target from the first image, determines that the measurement target is of the first type, and records information of the first type of measurement target in a blank measurement list based on the automatic selection of the system.
[0103] Obtaining the first type of measurement target on the first image, each time obtaining a first type of measurement target, obtaining its position parameter, and adding the position parameter to the blank measurement list; or first obtaining all the first type of measurement targets in the silicon wafer to be measured, then obtaining the position parameter of each first type of measurement target in turn, and adding them to the blank measurement list;
[0104] Alternatively, it may be as follows: multiple blank measurement lists are pre-constructed, and each time a measurement target is obtained on the first image, its type and position parameters are determined, and its position parameters are recorded in the blank measurement list corresponding to the corresponding type, until the position parameters of all measurement targets on the first image are recorded in the corresponding measurement lists.
[0105] After obtaining the first type of measurement target on the first image, the measurement camera can be switched, and the position information of the first type of measurement target on the first image can be determined by using the measurement camera. The system can have a built-in algorithm to automatically calculate the precise position of the measurement target in the coordinate system to obtain its precise coordinate position.
[0106] For example, for silicon wafers, the R3 positioning vector, i.e., the vector in three-dimensional space, can be obtained by calculating the precise position of the measurement target on the wafer coordinate system. The wafer coordinate system is a coordinate system constructed with the center of the wafer as the origin.
[0107] After constructing the measurement lists corresponding to all types, in response to the silicon wafer measurement request, the information in a certain type of measurement list can be retrieved in the corresponding order, and the measurement configuration data of the measurement camera can be set according to the configuration parameters recorded in the measurement list of that type to obtain a measurement camera with complete settings. Thereafter, the measurement camera is used to measure the measurement targets corresponding to the corresponding position parameters in turn according to the measurement order of each measurement target in the measurement list to complete the measurement of all measurement targets in a certain type of measurement list, and continue to retrieve information in other types of measurement lists until the measurement targets corresponding to all measurement lists corresponding to the silicon wafer to be measured are measured, thereby achieving measurement of the silicon wafer to be measured.
[0108] It should be noted that the configuration parameters included in the measurement list are used to configure the imaging rules of the measurement camera, and the imaging rules may include optical parameters, hardware performance, etc. Taking optical parameters as an example, the following optical parameters of the measurement camera can be configured: exposure time, attenuation plate, Na aperture position, etc.
[0109] By recording the information of the same type of measurement targets in the same silicon wafer to be measured in the same measurement list, the measurement camera only needs to be configured once during measurement to complete the measurement of all measurement targets of this type, which greatly improves the imaging stability and measurement efficiency of the measurement.
[0110] In addition, the position parameters and configuration parameters of the same type of measurement targets in the same silicon wafer to be measured are recorded in the same measurement list. When the measurement method or measurement rule of a certain type of measurement target is modified, it is only necessary to modify the records in the measurement list of that type to achieve synchronization of all measurement targets of that type. There is no need to modify and maintain each measurement target of that type in turn, which improves the efficiency of measurement maintenance.

This scheme constructs a measurement list in advance, and when obtaining a silicon wafer measurement request, retrieves a target measurement list in the constructed measurement list, so as to complete the measurement of the measurement targets included in the target measurement list according to the information in the target measurement list, that is, putting measurement targets of the same type together for measurement, without the need to frequently switch measurement configuration data, thereby improving measurement efficiency.
