AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies cannot effectively address the significant differences in features between different regions in highly complex wafer images, resulting in over-enhancing in dense areas or insufficient enhancement in sparse areas by the global uniform contrast enhancement strategy, making it difficult to achieve high detection rates and low false alarm rates.

Method used

By segmenting the wafer grayscale image into multiple minimum grids, calculating the merging similarity of adjacent grids, adaptively setting the merging threshold and merging region blocks layer by layer, setting a limiting value based on the number of merging levels, performing differentiated contrast enhancement, and eliminating block effects through boundary distance weighting smoothing.

Benefits of technology

It achieves precise physical segmentation of functional areas on the wafer surface, improves the detection accuracy of defects and reduces the false alarm rate, and ensures global optimization of image quality and robust interpretation.

Abstract

本发明属于半导体缺陷检测技术领域,涉及一种基于智能感知的晶圆微结构缺陷全域判读方法,包括以下步骤:获取晶圆表面的晶圆灰度图像;将晶圆灰度图像分割为多个最小网格,并提取各最小网格的灰度方差和灰度均值;依据各最小网格的灰度方差和灰度均值计算相邻的最小网格间的合并相似度;基于合并相似度自适应确定合并阈值,利用合并阈值对相邻的最小网格进行逐层合并,得到多个区域块,并记录各区域块的合并层级数。本发明解决了传统全局统一增强导致的密集区过增强和稀疏区增强不足的技术问题,实现了匹配晶圆不同图案密度区域的自适应局部增强,在消除伪缺陷的同时显著提升了微小缺陷的检出精度。
