Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of integrated circuits, and in particular, to a method for determining a breakdown voltage prediction model for a capacitor device. Background Art

[0002] In related technologies, technicians use the Process Design Kit (PDK) provided by the foundry for circuit design. When using devices within the foundry's specifications, there's no need to specifically consider the breakdown reliability of capacitor components. However, when customizing non-standard capacitor components to meet specific circuit requirements, if the customized parameters exceed the foundry specification, resulting in an increased risk of failure, there's no way to effectively guarantee that the capacitor components will meet reliability requirements.

[0003] During the integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process, the structural dimensions of devices such as capacitors may differ from the ideal layout due to factors such as process flow, material parameters, stress engineering, and optical proximity correction (OPC) effects. Under extreme design conditions, this can further deteriorate local reliability, necessitating further reliability assessment.

[0004] Foundries are the sole source of solutions for capacitor reliability risk assessments. However, to ensure process reliability and protect technical secrets, foundries are less cooperative with custom components and are reluctant to disclose process information. To enhance assessment autonomy and avoid operational limitations, it is crucial to improve in-house capacitor customization and failure analysis capabilities.

[0005] Related art methods for analyzing capacitor reliability primarily rely on applying pressure across the capacitor plates to determine the capacitor's breakdown risk based on hot spots. Beyond this, there are no simulation or testing methods for capacitor breakdown reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for determining a breakdown voltage prediction model of a capacitor device, so as to at least solve the problem in the related art that the breakdown voltage of the capacitor device cannot be effectively predicted.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present application, a method for determining a breakdown voltage prediction model of a capacitor device is provided, comprising: modeling the capacitor device according to size information and a process of the capacitor device to determine a simulation model of the capacitor device; performing design of experiments on the simulation model according to influencing factors in a manufacturing process of the capacitor device, obtaining a field intensity distribution of the simulation model by applying a voltage signal to the simulation model under each design of experiment, comparing the field intensity distribution with a breakdown field intensity to determine a predicted breakdown voltage value; determining an actual breakdown voltage value by applying a voltage signal to the capacitor device, and adjusting the influencing factors according to a comparison result of the predicted breakdown voltage value and the actual breakdown voltage value to obtain the breakdown voltage prediction model of the capacitor device.

[0008] According to still another embodiment of the present application, a computer readable storage medium is also provided, and the computer readable storage medium stores a computer program, wherein the computer program is configured to execute the steps in the above method embodiments when running.

[0009] According to still another embodiment of the present application, an electronic device is also provided, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the computer program to perform the steps in the above method embodiments.

[0010] According to still another embodiment of the present application, a computer program product is also provided, comprising a computer program and instructions, wherein the computer program and the instructions are executed by a processor to implement the steps in the above method embodiments.

[0011] The embodiment of the application includes simulation and actual measurement two stages in determining the breakdown voltage prediction model of the capacitor device. In the simulation stage, modeling of the capacitor device is firstly performed. The modeling is based on size information and process of the capacitor device. Since the size information of the capacitor device can be changed according to actual requirements, the simulation model of the capacitor device can be customized. Based on the simulation model of the capacitor device, the influencing factors of the capacitor device in the actual manufacturing process can be simulated to perform test design of the capacitor device, including multiple test design scenarios. In each test design scenario, a voltage signal is applied to the simulation model, so that the field intensity distribution of the simulation model under different voltages is obtained. The obtained field intensity distribution is compared with the preset breakdown field intensity, and the prediction breakdown voltage value can be determined. After the simulation stage, the actual generated capacitor device is applied with the voltage signal consistent with the simulation stage, so that the actual breakdown voltage value is determined. There may be a certain difference between the prediction breakdown voltage value and the actual breakdown voltage value, which indicates that the manufacturing process of the capacitor device cannot be well restored. Therefore, after comparison, the influencing factors are adjusted according to the comparison result, so as to obtain a more accurate breakdown voltage prediction model of the capacitor device. The model includes all the designs and parameters involved in the simulation and actual measurement stages. Therefore, the problem that the breakdown voltage of the capacitor device cannot be effectively predicted in the related art can be solved, and the effect that a model capable of effectively predicting the breakdown voltage of the capacitor device is determined through simulation and actual test can be achieved.

The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, implementing the above method.

In another embodiment, the transmission device 106 may be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0024] In this embodiment, a method for determining a breakdown voltage prediction model of a capacitor device running on the above-mentioned computer terminal is provided. Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for determining a breakdown voltage prediction model of a capacitor device according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0025] Step S202 : Modeling the capacitor device according to the size information and process of the capacitor device to determine a simulation model of the capacitor device.

[0026] In an exemplary embodiment, a capacitor device is modeled based on its size information and process, including: determining a capacitance value of the capacitor device based on a circuit design, and designing a capacitor layout of the capacitor device based on the capacitance value; determining size information of the capacitor device based on the capacitor layout, and modeling the capacitor device based on the size information and process using simulation software.

[0027] In one embodiment, when a non-standard capacitor device is customized to meet the needs of a special circuit, if the customized parameters exceed the Foundry Spec range, the risk of failure may increase. Therefore, in order to meet the reliability requirements of the non-standard capacitor device, the breakdown voltage of the non-standard capacitor device needs to be predicted.

[0028] It should be noted that the method for determining the breakdown voltage prediction model of the capacitor device in the embodiment of the present application can be applied not only to customized non-standard capacitor devices, but also to situations where standard capacitor devices are used beyond the standard usage range. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0029] In one embodiment, the modeling process mainly includes process simulation and device simulation. According to the size information and process of the capacitor device, the process and device structure used are simulated by the simulation software Electronic Design Automation (Technology Computer Aided Design, TCAD), and a simulation model of the capacitor device close to the actual layout is obtained, which is equivalent to the capacitor device simulation model generated under ideal manufacturing conditions. The process of the capacitor device refers to the manufacturing process of the capacitor device, including the selection of materials, processing technology, etc. This process involves the preparation of materials, the production of electrodes, the filling of dielectrics and other links, and the process parameters of each link need to be strictly controlled to ensure the stable performance and reliability of the capacitor.

[0030] Step S204: Experimentally design the simulation model based on the influencing factors in the manufacturing process of the capacitor device. In each experimental design scenario, a voltage signal is applied to the simulation model to obtain the field strength distribution of the simulation model. The field strength distribution is compared with the breakdown field strength to determine the predicted breakdown voltage value.

[0031] In one embodiment, after determining the capacitor device simulation model generated under ideal manufacturing conditions, different experimental designs are performed for the simulation model by simulating the influencing factors that may occur in the actual manufacturing process. A voltage signal is applied to the simulation model in each experimental design scenario to provide data support and improvement direction for the subsequent analysis of breakdown voltage fluctuations, thereby obtaining a more reasonable range for the correction of the breakdown voltage.

[0032] Different voltage signals are applied to the simulation model to obtain the field strength distribution of the simulation model, and the field strength distribution is compared with the breakdown field strength, where the breakdown field strength is the breakdown field strength of the capacitor device under ideal conditions obtained through theoretical calculation.

[0033] In one exemplary embodiment, the influencing factors include the process of the capacitor device, material parameters, stress engineering, and optical proximity correction (OPC) effects.

[0034] It should be noted that stress engineering for capacitor devices refers to the analysis and design of the stresses experienced by capacitors during operation, ensuring they can withstand stress and maintain stable performance under normal operating conditions. Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) is a technology that corrects photolithographic patterns to improve pattern accuracy and image quality. By optimizing and correcting photolithographic patterns, pattern deformation and dimensional deviations caused by the optical proximity effect can be reduced, thereby improving chip manufacturing quality and performance.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, a simulation model is experimentally designed based on influencing factors in the manufacturing process of the capacitor device, including: designing different error scenarios for the simulation model based on the influencing factors in the manufacturing process of the capacitor device, wherein the error scenarios include physical size error, material parameter error and OPC effect error.

[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 3 The diagram below shows the modeling and error analysis of capacitor devices and experimental design. The simulation model's error scenarios include physical scenario errors, material parameter errors, and OPC effect errors. Electrodes 1 and 2 are labeled in the ideal device diagram to set different voltage signals for electrodes 1 and 2 during the simulation process to obtain information about the field intensity distribution within the dielectric.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the field strength distribution is compared with the breakdown field strength to determine the predicted breakdown voltage value, including: determining the maximum field strength value based on the field strength distribution, and when the maximum field strength value is greater than the breakdown field strength, the electrode voltage corresponding to the maximum field strength value is the predicted breakdown voltage value.

[0038] Step S206 , determining the actual breakdown voltage value by applying a voltage signal to the capacitor device, and adjusting the influencing factors according to the comparison result between the predicted breakdown voltage value and the actual breakdown voltage value to obtain a breakdown voltage prediction model for the capacitor device.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the actual breakdown voltage value is determined by applying different voltage signals to the capacitor device, including: applying different voltage signals to two electrodes of the capacitor device through a probe and recording the corresponding current values ​​of the probe; drawing a current-voltage change curve according to the voltage value and current value of the voltage signal, and determining the actual breakdown voltage value according to the current-voltage change curve.

[0040] In one embodiment, the chip is unsealed and the Nanoprobe is operated to locate the position of the capacitor device to be tested. In addition, a suitable test position is selected to facilitate the implantation of the probe. Figure 4 The diagram of the capacitor device simulation test and actual test circuit connection shown in the figure simulates the specific performance of customized voltage in different working scenarios by applying different voltage signals to the two electrodes of the capacitor device (Metal I to Metal N) through the probe and recording the corresponding current values. As the voltage changes, the probe current also changes. At this time, the current and voltage change curves are recorded during the voltage change process. Figure 5 It is a current and voltage change curve.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the actual breakdown voltage value according to the current-voltage variation curve graph includes: when a current value in the current-voltage variation curve graph suddenly changes, the corresponding voltage value is the actual breakdown voltage value.

[0042] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the current Current suddenly changes and the corresponding Voltage = 17V, it is considered that the capacitor device has breakdown, and the voltage at this time is Figure 4 The actual breakdown voltage value of the entire capacitor Metal I to Metal N is shown.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the voltage signal includes a steady-state voltage, a transient voltage, or an alternating voltage.

[0044] In one embodiment, in order to simulate the actual use scenario of the capacitor device as closely as possible and obtain a more accurate predicted breakdown voltage value and actual breakdown voltage value of the capacitor device, different voltage signals are set for the capacitor device, including steady-state voltage, transient voltage, or alternating voltage. Steady-state voltage refers to the voltage in a stable state and is the basic voltage during normal operation of the power system; transient voltage refers to the instantaneous voltage fluctuation caused by sudden events (such as lightning strikes, switch operations, etc.) in the power system; alternating voltage refers to the voltage generated by the AC power supply in the power system and is a common voltage form in the power system.

[0045] It should be noted that the method for determining the breakdown voltage prediction model of the capacitor device includes a simulation step and an actual test step, steps S202 to S204 correspond to the simulation step, and step S206 corresponds to the actual test step.

[0046] The breakdown voltage prediction model of the capacitor device determined by the embodiment of the present application includes modeling the capacitor device to determine the design and related parameters of the simulation model of the capacitor device, experimental design of the simulation model and scenario setting and determination of influencing factors when predicting the breakdown voltage.

Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present application.
