Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a thermal coupling superposition test structure and a test method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Current induced by a metal line causes electromigration (EM), i.e. movement of metal atoms caused by momentum transfer between electrons passing through the wire and the metal atoms making up the wire. Over time, EM causes hillocks (accumulation of excess metal) and / or voids (depletion of initial metal) to form in the wire, which in turn cause short circuits (hillocks) or open circuits (voids).
[0003] As device sizes continue to shrink, Fin FET technology is becoming more and more common. However, as semiconductor devices are manufactured smaller and smaller, higher circuit densities, greater device currents and higher operating frequencies result in semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) generating heat, which can result in higher electromigration (EM) risk, so Fin FET designers need to use thermal models to analyze the electromigration of metal lines before signing off the design.

[0033] As described in the background section, existing thermal models for analyzing electromigration in metal lines still need improvement. This will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying figures.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 A thermal coupling model includes a test conductor L1, and six heating devices at the edge of the test conductor, namely heating device 1, heating device 2, heating device 3, heating device 4, heating device 5 and heating device 6.
[0035] To simplify the thermal coupling model, the worst-case scenario is considered: all heating devices at the boundary of the tested conductor are activated. Due to thermal radiation, a thermal coupling effect exists between the heating devices and the tested conductor, meaning the heat generated by the heating devices affects the electromigration of the tested conductor. An α-test key is connected to the tested conductor, and the α-test key measures the temperature of each of the six heating devices on the tested conductor.
[0036] The inventors discovered that in the above thermal coupling model, Tsensor = MAX(T Device )*MAX(α), T Device To obtain the temperature from the heating device to the test lead, α is the coupling ratio from the heating device to the test lead. α is related to the size of the heating device and the distance between the test lead and the heating device. Using the formula instead of the highest α can reduce the coupling temperature (Tsensor) between the heating device and the test lead, but without the coupling effect of other devices, the thermal model of the heating device and the test lead will also be underestimated, leading to inaccurate final test data and hindering manufacturers from performing electromigration analysis on the test lead.
[0037] The inventors find that, under the action of thermal effect, electromigration of the tested wire is caused, and the electromigration affects the resistance of the tested wire, so the means of directly testing the temperature on the tested wire is converted to obtaining the corresponding resistance of the tested wire under the thermal effect, specifically, the heat for electromigration test is provided by a plurality of heating devices, the tested wire is located in a first interconnection layer on the heating devices, a projection pattern of the tested wire on the first interconnection layer is a first projection pattern, a projection pattern of the heating devices on the first interconnection layer is a second projection pattern, a plurality of second projection patterns surround the first projection pattern and the first projection pattern is located on at least one second projection pattern, that is, the heating devices are arranged at positions vertically below the tested wire and positions around the tested wire; the detection wire is electrically connected with the tested wire, and is used for obtaining the corresponding resistance of the tested wire when the heating devices at different positions are turned on, so as to accurately evaluate the thermal coupling effect of the heating devices at different positions on the tested wire through the resistance, and thus the electromigration analysis of the tested wire is accurately performed, and the evaluation result is not limited by the size of the heating devices and the distance between the heating devices and the tested wire, and has a wide application range.
