The size of the cut area can be controlled over a range from sub-millimeter scale to millimeter scale, and the depth resolution can be controlled at the nanometer scale. To achieve uniform layer delamination, a controlled singly charged ion beam is scanned across the sample surface to normalize the ion density distribution from the center to the periphery of the sample.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the controlled decomposition of samples such as integrated circuits or IC chips, optical devices, electronic devices, and any combination thereof, for structural and chemical characterization and / or failure analysis of the chips. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for uniformly delaminating relatively large area IC chips by using a controllable ion beam. [Background technology]

[0002] In the semiconductor industry, IC chips are extraordinarily complex, with billions of individual devices, including transistors, within each integrated circuit. IC chips contain numerous layers, each with a given thickness ranging from one atomic plane to several microns. The layers may occupy all or part of the surface of the chip. Each layer may contain some of the various components of the integrated circuit, which may comprise metals, alloys, semiconductor materials, ceramics, insulators, or any other material. Each layer is associated with both logic and memory devices.

[0003] During the research and development phase and throughout the subsequent manufacturing process, it is essential to understand the properties of materials for the various devices contained within an integrated circuit. Typically, chips are formed through processes of growth, deposition, etching, and polishing to produce the physical electronic circuit derived from a circuit diagram. These processes are extraordinarily complex and, if not controlled with precision, can result in defects within the chip.

[0004] Typically, the yield of acceptable IC chips during the initial manufacturing process of a new design is low. Manufacturers need several months to refine the fabrication process in order to achieve a higher yield. Feedback from various analytical techniques is used for process control to improve both chip performance and yield. For example, metrology deals with the high-precision measurement of devices within a chip. Electrical probe measurements are used to test individual circuits.

[0005] Quality control is extremely important during and after chip manufacturing. The reliability of semiconductor devices is paramount. When a failure condition occurs, a great deal of effort is devoted to failure analysis. In many cases, chips are returned from the field, making it essential to perform post-mortem single defect failure analysis by carefully removing material until the failure site is exposed.

[0006] For yield improvement and quality control during manufacturing, as well as post-fabrication failure analysis, it is essential to have access to individual device features suitable for various property quantification techniques.

[0007] Access to individual features for testing can be achieved through reverse engineering or controlled disassembly of the device. For example, qualified and unqualified chips are reverse engineered to determine whether these features meet expected specifications. Engineers will check the location, width, and thickness of internal features, including vias, chemical composition, transistor and / or memory well dimensions, and the like. Engineers will then attempt to pinpoint detailed defect locations and identify the defects. This reverse engineering information will be fed into process engineering for yield improvement purposes.

[0008] Reverse engineering involves the sequential delamination of layers of a chip or sample and subsequent analysis of each layer. This process is extraordinarily complex, especially considering the number of features distributed among numerous layers, sometimes exceeding 100. To further complicate matters, each of these layers has a thickness ranging from approximately 1 nm to 2000 nm and is often composed of multiple elements to accommodate various electronic circuits.

[0009] Currently, the 5 nm technology node is in commercial use in the IC industry, with 2-3 nm scales under development, and feature sizes are trending continuously smaller towards 1 nm and below.

[0010] There are various techniques used for layer delamination. For example, mechanical polishing, which uses micron- or submicron-scale abrasive particles to remove the surface of the sample, is one method. However, these particles create micron- or submicron-scale artifacts or scratches in the sample surface that can destroy important chip properties. Mechanical methods also lack precise control over the amount of material removed.

[0011] Chemical etching is used to remove material by exposing the chip to various chemicals to cause chemical reactions that remove material from the chip surface. However, depending on the chemistry of the etchant, different materials within the chip react at different etching rates, which can result in differential or non-uniform material removal.

[0012] Plasma etching is another method for removing material from IC chips. This method uses a combination of reactive ionized gases and / or non-reactive gases that are ionized by a strong electric field under vacuum. Reactive ions cause both a chemical reaction and a bombardment or sputtering effect on the chip surface, thereby removing material from the surface. Non-reactive ions cause only physical bombardment, thereby sputtering material away. Non-uniformities in elemental composition, material density, and etching species can adversely affect the etch rate and material removal uniformity.

[0013] Broad beam ion milling is also used to delaminate chips. In this process, the center of the ion beam typically has a higher energy density compared to the periphery or tail of the beam. Therefore, the center of the chip typically mills faster than the edges, resulting in a concave milling spot where the ion beam is most intense in the center and a shallower depth at the edges where the ion beam density is lower. This concave geometric surface profile precludes the ability to image and analyze features located within large areas of a single chip layer.

[0014] More recent developments in layer delamination techniques are focused ion beam or FIB and plasma FIB or PFIB, where the ion beam is more tightly focused. However, drawbacks of these methods include slow cutting speeds, relatively small cutting areas, and the implantation of chemically reactive elements such as, but not limited to, gallium.

[0015] Three basic requirements for more uniform layer delamination are: 1) uniform flatness or planarity of the pre-treatment area, 2) large areas up to 10 mm x 10 mm or larger, and 3) controllable depth resolution. Therefore, what is needed in the art is a device and method that can perform entire chip delamination with sufficient resolution to enable precise, uniform removal of individual layers. Furthermore, the system requires achieving planarity within a given layer that allows for surface property measurements to be made within the area of ​​interest. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] A system and method suitable for uniform layer removal across an entire sample surface by ion milling is disclosed. Specifically, the system includes one or more ion beam sources located within a vacuum chamber, a fixed or rotating sample stage, a control unit for controlling the ion beam sources to selectively remove one or more layers uniformly across the sample, such as an IC chip, and at least one detector, such as an optical microscope, a CCD camera or a CMOS camera, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), a secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS), and / or an Auger probe.

[0017] A key aspect of the process is the generation of a generally cylindrical ion beam that maintains its profile over long working distances, typically up to 10 cm. Additionally, it is essential to have the ability to scan or raster this beam over large areas to uniformly expose individual layer structures within the chip. To achieve consistent cutting, it is generally important to direct the beam at a glancing angle, preferably approaching zero degrees, relative to the chip surface. Furthermore, it is important to select the ion species within the beam to exclude neutrally charged particles. In this way, a beam composed exclusively of charged particles (ions) is preferably directed in a controllable manner toward the chip surface.

[0018] To establish planarity within each individual layer, it is important to control the ion beam so that it removes material uniformly, independent of device geometry and elemental composition. To this end, the application of an in-situ sensing system can be used, which utilizes a detector in a feedback control loop with output data linked to the performance of the ion source.

[0019] For effective delamination, it is essential to maintain a uniform ion density distribution across the sample surface. Sample rotation is further used to minimize different cutting rates caused by various elements contained within the tip that fly off at different velocities. Typically, harder, slower cutting elements overlay softer, faster cutting elements, resulting in a relatively planar surface.

[0020] The material removal method of the present invention uses a controlled ion beam that is scanned across the sample surface to normalize the ion density distribution. More specifically, the system includes an ion beam source that generates the ion beam. The ion source technology is preferably electron impact, but can be other types of ion source technology, such as electron cyclotron resonance (ECR).

[0021] Electron impact ionization sources consist of a filament cartridge that generates a stream of electrons and subsequently directs them into an ionization chamber, where the electrons interact with a process gas also contained therein to produce ions, which are then extracted and directed through a focusing lens component of the ion source.

[0022] The exit of the ion beam source houses a beam steering mechanism, such as a raster scanning electrode or deflection electrode, preferably comprising several independently controlled steering rods. The beam steering mechanism is designed to deflect ions in both the X and Y directions relative to the sample surface. Therefore, both the beam direction and the raster scanning amplitude are preferably adjustable. The X-ray raster scanning function of these electrodes scans the ion beam parallel to the sample surface. The ion beam source is mounted in a system such that the resulting ion beam emitted therefrom is substantially parallel to the sample surface and does not intersect the sample surface under zero deflection conditions. By applying a Y deflection, the ion beam is directed toward the sample surface.

[0023] The induction steering mechanism also electrostatically separates uncharged particles from the ion beam by deflecting only charged particles. Neutral atoms continue unaffected in a parallel path above the sample surface. In this way, only ions are incident on the surface as a function of the applied Y deflection.

[0024] The momentum transfer / splash process causes material to be ejected from the sample surface in a controlled manner as described above, resulting in uniform delamination. A control unit drives the operation of the ion beam source and the guided manipulation mechanism, and controls and adjusts the raster scan amplitude and scan speed.

[0025] In controlled milling, ion beam scanning relies on feedback from the output of various detectors. Surface data for characterizing the structure and chemical properties of a given layer can consist of images, spectra, or other information. For example, various detectors capture signals from the milled sample surface point by point, where the size of the point is approximately the size of either the ion beam or the electron beam. Such detectors can be used for analytical determination of various devices present in the corresponding layer of the sample. Detectors can include cameras, such as optical cameras, that capture the physical topography of the sample surface to determine its uniformity. An illumination source can assist with optical imaging.

[0026] Scanning the electron beam across the sample surface causes a spatial domain interaction between the incident electrons and the sample material. This interaction depends on both the accelerating voltage of the electron beam and the elemental composition of the sample. The interaction produces both x-rays and various types of electrons, such as backscattered and secondary electrons. The characteristics of the electrons and x-rays produced depend on both the surface properties and the atomic interactions.

[0027] Depth profile information is generated by the interaction of electrons generated by the SEM with the corresponding volume of the sample. Detector technology and advanced mathematics yield information about the depth profile of the cutting area. This information is obtained through a combination of system electronics and cutting process control.

[0028] Secondary electron detectors or SEDs, such as those of the Everhart-Thornley type, can capture and process either electrons generated by the incident electron beam or ion-induced secondary electrons generated by the incident ion beam to yield information about the sample surface. Varying the accelerating voltage of the SEM in conjunction with backscattered electron detectors or BSE techniques can generate depth information due to changes in the interaction volume of the material versus voltage. Additional detectors include EDS, SIMS, or Auger probes to analyze the milled surface structure and chemical composition, as well as the scattering byproducts derived from the various layers during the delamination process.

[0029] The control unit receives and analyzes output from various detector technologies during the layer peeling process to quantify and determine the composition of individual device layers and evaluate the cutting status. For example, the control unit creates a depth profile map from data generated at points at the sample center, the sample periphery, and any amount in between. The depth profile variations for the corresponding locations are then input into a mathematical cutting algorithm. An algorithm has been developed that allows the ion density distribution to be adjusted as the beam moves across the sample to achieve uniform layer peeling. The cutting factor k of this algorithm is adjusted, as described more fully below, and the control unit sends modified operating commands to the ion source in real time to modify the cutting pattern, physically altering the ion beam raster scan pattern in terms of both the dwell time per point and the corresponding current density. This continuous feedback method then minimizes the depth change Δd, as described more fully below, resulting in a planar surface.

[0030] In accordance with the above, the control unit processes the data and provides commands to enable uniform removal of layers of an entire IC chip, comprising one or more materials. Computer-controlled data can be loaded into memory and executed on one or more microelectronic devices to control the ion beam source to selectively remove each of the layers of the chip at their appropriate rates.

[0031] In the semiconductor industry, layer geometries and elemental compositions are widely known because they are the most fundamental aspects of chip architecture. Initial maps created during the chip design process are used to define features such as, but not limited to, transistors, memory wells, and the corresponding interconnections between these features. These maps are then printed onto the various chip layers using lithography to create the device circuitry. Although circuit maps are known to semiconductor device manufacturers because they are fundamental to chip creation, these maps are highly confidential.

[0032] The system is optionally provided with the ability to input surface maps of individual layers. Control electronics and corresponding software capture and analyze data from various detectors to create a map of sample properties during the cutting process. By varying the acceleration voltage of the SEM electron beam, information from the surface layer as well as at least one underlying layer is generated during cutting. This real-time sample representation is then compared to the original device map. A cutting factor k is then adjusted based on the relative material removal rate for a given surface to normalize cutting across the sample surface to produce a uniform, planar profile across the entire area of ​​the chip layer.

[0033] To obtain optimal sample properties, ion beam performance characteristics must be varied. For example, laser beam energy increases cutting speed but can introduce artifacts. Lower energies generally produce higher quality surfaces but correspondingly decrease cutting speed.

[0034] Ion milling uses data acquired from each layer to reveal hierarchical circuit information. When the structure of a given layer is known, the imaging data may be in the form of a structure map. This data can then be compared with real-time information for adjusting and terminating the process.

[0035] A further technique involves acquiring images and corresponding data from each of the various layers, followed by reconstruction to provide information corresponding to feature geometry and elemental composition, thereby producing a three-dimensional representation of the chip structure and chemistry, which can also be used as an endpoint method to stop the layer peeling process.

[0036] Observations and measurements made during ion milling can then be adjusted using a self-supervised learning process or artificial intelligence that incorporates a feedback loop that adjusts milling parameters based on the observations. An individual milling strategy can be created for each unique part type and applied to all chips with similar characteristics using this learning technique.

[0037] The system includes the steps of placing a tip or sample in a vacuum chamber, operating an ion beam and an electron beam, acquiring and processing signals from various detectors, and dynamically adjusting one or more operating parameters associated with the ion beam source to selectively remove specific individual layers within the tip at appropriate rates.

[0038] The present invention further includes a method for acquiring data from the top surface of a chip. The surface data can include photographs, images, chemical compositions, or other data representations capable of characterizing features or other aspects of the chip. This method can optionally be implemented such that removing a layer of a design thickness is accomplished in a single step, with the removal rate for each material present in the layer being the same. When the respective removal rates for each material are different, a series of repeated steps, each using an ion beam source operating with different characteristics, results in uniform removal of the layer of the design thickness. The method can further include repeating the aforementioned steps until a predetermined number of layers or a predetermined total thickness of the chip have been removed, both determined by a user. Furthermore, the method can include generating a hierarchical circuit diagram using the acquired data from each layer.

[0039] Using the present invention, the size of the cut area can be controlled over a range from the submillimeter scale to several millimeters. Depth resolution can also be controlled at the nanometer scale. The system and method of the present invention enable high-precision delamination of chips to determine whether features meet expected specifications for location, size, and elemental composition. The combination of the required analysis of the chip's structural and chemical properties with a fast, highly accurate, and consistent delamination method makes the present invention essential. This type of delamination allows for subsequent imaging and analysis using methods such as optical / electron microscopy, electrical property measurements, and various forms of spectroscopy.

[0043] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the present invention relates to a system and method for delaminating a sample, such as an IC chip, using a raster-scanned ion beam to achieve uniform delamination across the sample surface. As used herein, a layer refers to a uniform thickness of one or more materials laid down on or distributed across a surface. The thickness may be equal to one atomic plane up to several microns. A layer may occupy all or a portion of a surface. A sample may refer to a metal, alloy, semiconductor material, ceramic, insulator, or any other solid material. A sample may also refer to, but is not limited to, a semiconductor device, an integrated circuit chip, a metal and dielectric layer of any thickness, one or more materials within an area of ​​any size, an optical device, an electronic device, or any combination thereof. Uniform delamination refers to the partial or total removal of one or more layers in a cutting process, where the one or more layers or portions thereof may comprise one or more materials, and the one or more layers may be of any desired uniform thickness.

[0044] Broadly characterized, the present invention provides systems and methods for large-area-scale delamination of samples, such as integrated circuits and other solid-state materials. More specifically, embodiments relate to apparatus and methods for facilitating the removal of one or more layers from an integrated circuit sample at a desired uniform thickness within an area up to approximately 10 mm in diameter. Embodiments beneficially maintain the planarity of the sample's surface during delamination of the predetermined area. Furthermore, the overall delamination process can include multiple endpoints where features, wire patterns, chemical compositions, and other properties of interest can be analyzed and / or recorded for specification inspection, failure analysis, or 3D reconstruction.

[0045] In conventional ion beams, the ion flux density in the beam generally follows a Gaussian profile, whereby the central region has a higher density and the periphery or tail of the beam has a lower density. Therefore, when using broad beam ion milling, the center of the sample mills faster compared to the periphery, thereby negating the ability to uniformly delaminate semiconductor chip layers.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1, the results of layer delamination using a conventional ion beam are shown by curve 1 on sample 2. Typically, the cutting speed R in the layer delamination process is determined by the ion density Id per unit cutting area A as follows: R=c*Id / A=c*Id / r*Δr (1) In the above equation, A=r*Δr, where r is the radius of the circular cutting mark, and c is a constant.

[0047] The present invention addresses this uneven layer delamination by generating a beam that is relatively small relative to the sample size and scanning or rastering this beam across the sample surface in a specific, controlled manner that promotes uniform cutting, as shown in FIG. 2, that is independent of both device position and elemental composition.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 2, the trench D cut on sample 1 is equal to the sum of depths 3, 4, and 5 divided by three. D=(D1+D2+D3) / 3 (2) Nonplanarity Δd=(|D1-D|+|D2-D|+|D3-D|) / 3 (3) Cutting error ΔE=Δd / D (4)

[0049] The present system 500 and method for delaminating sample 1 allows for large area sample 1 to be delaminated while keeping Δd as small as possible, down to a few nanometers, and ΔE below 1%, typically 0.1%.

[0050] This technique produces an ion density distribution as shown in Figure 3. Specifically, an ion beam source 31 emits an ion beam 32, shown as an area in this figure, which is incident at an angle of incidence on the surface of the sample 1. The sample 1 rotates along a direction 34 during the layer peeling process. Thus, the resulting cut area 33 is circular in shape.

[0051] The rotation speed range is variable between 0 and 100 rpm. The rotation direction can be either clockwise or counterclockwise. The incident beam 32 angle ranges from 0.0 degrees to 15 degrees. The size of the cutting area 33 can be adjusted by changing the scanning parameters of the ion beam 32, with typical cutting areas ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm in diameter or larger.

[0052] The ion density distribution along the X-axis is shown by one of curves 35, 36, 37, or 38. Curve 35 is a uniform density distribution with a high cutting rate in the center of the sample and a low cutting rate at the periphery.

[0053] Generally, the cutting rate is a function of the ion dose or density, with higher beam densities producing higher cutting rates. To achieve uniform cutting for delamination purposes, the cutting rate across the sample surface needs to be variable to compensate for geometric and elemental compositional differences among the chip layers.

[0054] The theoretical density distribution curve 36 shown in FIG. 3 may not be sufficient to reduce the ion density in the central area. As a result, the cutting speed remains higher than that in the peripheral area. Another possible density distribution is curve 38 shown in FIG. 3, which causes an excessive reduction in beam density on the sample's central area, resulting in a lower cutting speed in the central area compared to the peripheral area. Curve 37 has an ion density distribution that theoretically results in uniform layer delamination in the cutting area. This curve is specific to given layer characteristics and must be determined for each layer and each chip. Due to this factor, it is important to develop a unique mathematical cutting control algorithm such that the corresponding ion density distribution curve 37 is effective in uniformly removing material from layers with various geometries and elemental compositions.

[0055] Figure 4 shows a diagram of the cutting area 41 on the sample surface. The diameter is on the millimeter scale. The goal is to obtain a uniform ion density distribution at all positions within the cutting area 41.

[0056] To this end, a sub-millimeter diameter ion beam is generated and scanned in the desired area with properties that uniformly distribute the ion beam density in the cutting area 41 .

[0057] As such, this system avoids the drawbacks of broad ion beam techniques, which have a Gaussian ion density distribution within the ion beam itself.

[0058] To perform the desired function, the submillimeter beam is raster scanned point by point across the sample surface, with the beam intensity determined by the speed of movement, resulting in a variable dwell time at each point on the sample surface. The dwell time Δt divided by the unit cutting area A must be the same or equal to a constant C. Δt / A=C (5) Or, Δt=C*A (6) The factor r is the radius 42 within the cutting area 41, while Δr is the radius increment 43 as shown in FIG. Δt=C*A=C*2πr*Δr dt=C*2πr*dr ∫dt=C*2πr*∫dr t=C*πr 2 r=a*t 1 / 2 (a is a constant) (7) In practice, it is necessary to expand equation (7) as follows: r=a*t k (where a is a constant and k is 0 <k≦1である) (8) where k is the cutting factor. Equation (7) is a special case of equation (8) when k=½. When k=1, the ion density distribution is equivalent to curve 35 in FIG. 3. When k is reduced to a value slightly less than 1, the ion density distribution is equivalent to curve 36 in FIG. 3. When k is further reduced, the ion density distribution is equivalent to curve 37 in FIG. 3. Subsequent reductions in k result in an ion density distribution equivalent to curve 38 in FIG. 3. To achieve uniform layer delamination in practice, the value of k must be determined for various materials and layer configurations.

[0059] During the ionization and extraction processes, some ions may be neutralized by picking up electrons. These neutrally charged particles move purely as a function of their momentum and cannot be manipulated. Therefore, their incidence on the sample surface typically results in uneven and uncontrolled ablation of the sample surface. To avoid this problem, the present system and method include means for specifically manipulating only charged ion particles. FIG. 5 shows a basic diagram of the present system 500. An initial ion beam 52 is generated and directed from at least one ion source 31 to a Faraday cup 53. In this state, the entire beam is directed into the Faraday cup 53, and no ablation occurs. In at least one embodiment, the Faraday cup 53 can also be used to measure the ion beam current.

[0060] To precisely control the ion beam for uniform layer peeling, the ion source 31 of the present invention includes a Y-deflection electrode that, when energized, generates an electrostatic field that deflects a portion of the initial ion beam 52 to produce the incident ion beam 32 that is directed off-axis and impinges on the sample surface 55, as shown in FIG. 5 . Because only ions are affected by the electrostatic field, these ions are directed or manipulated by the Y-deflection to produce the incident ion beam 32. Neutral particles are not affected by the electrostatic field and remain within the initial beam 52, impinging on the Faraday cup 53 rather than the sample. In this manner, only charged particles impinge on the sample surface 55 for layer peeling.

[0061] The sample is supported on a sample stage 56, whose height can be adjusted along axis 57, and can be moved in the X and Y directions. The ion source 31 further includes X- and Y-beam deflection electrodes that raster, scan, or steer the incident ion beam 32 relative to the sample surface 55 according to equation (8). Under undeflected conditions, the incident ion beam 32 is above the sample surface 55 and intersects the sample rotation axis in a plane parallel to the axial centerline of the ion source 31. The sample surface 55 is perpendicular to the sample rotation axis. The beam scan direction along the X-axis, as shown in Figure 3, must be parallel to the sample surface 55. During layer peeling, the sample 1 can either be fixed or can be rotated at an appropriate speed in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The rotation normalizes the cut across the entire sample surface 55 and compensates for the incident ion beam 32 being rastered only in the X direction.

[0062] The beam incidence angle relative to the sample surface 55 is determined by the bending signal strength or voltage, since this signal or voltage is related to both the potential applied to the Y deflection electrode and the stage height. Using a higher voltage increases the incidence angle. Adjusting the height of the sample stage 56 upward so that it approaches the plane of the undeflected initial ion beam 52 reduces the incidence angle. Typically, the beam incidence angle can be adjusted within a range of 0 to 15 degrees.

[0063] Turning now to the overall system 500, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , the system 500 includes an ion beam source 31, a sample stage 56, a vacuum chamber 62, an ion source controller 61 (not shown), a control unit 69, and various detectors. The sample stage 56 is configured and positioned to support a sample 1 thereon, such as, but not limited to, an IC chip, a portion of an IC chip, multiple IC chips, any type of wafer, or other type of sample material. The sample stage 56 has Z stage height adjustability along axis 57 as shown in FIG. 5 , as well as rotational capabilities and XY offsets as previously described. Rotation is used to normalize the effect of the ion milling process on the chip surface. The rotational speed of the sample stage 56 can range between 0.0 rpm and 100 rpm. The stage 56 can also have tilting capabilities. In some embodiments, the sample stage 56 can be cryogenically cooled to approximately liquid nitrogen temperature. Heaters, temperature sensors, and control electronics allow the sample temperature to be adjusted between cryogenic and room temperature.

[0064] The vacuum chamber 62 provides a hollow space in which the ion beam source 31, the sample stage 56, the sample 1, and various detectors are housed. The vacuum chamber 62 is part of a vacuum system which further includes a main pump, preferably of the turbomolecular type, an auxiliary or backup pump, valves, drive circuitry, and a control system which may be electric or pneumatic and is used to generate a vacuum or negative pressure condition within the vacuum chamber 62 during use. The vacuum chamber may be mounted on a frame which provides suitable vibration isolation. The vacuum system may include a controller and gauges to output base and operating vacuum levels.

[0065] The sample 1 can be loaded into the system through the incorporation of a load lock assembly with both vacuum and inert gas transfer capabilities. Using this methodology, the sample can be protected from the environment throughout pre-processing and subsequent imaging and analysis. This protection is particularly important for environmentally sensitive samples such as, but not limited to, catalysts and lithium-ion battery materials.

[0066] The ion beam source 31 is comprised of a filament assembly 100, an ionizer assembly 200, and a focusing assembly 300, all of which are shown in more detail throughout Figures 8-21. In particular, the filament assembly 100, shown in Figures 8-13B, is the primary electron source. The filament assembly 100 includes a mount 110 connected to a filament lid 111 separated by a support rod 112 and a spring 113. At least one filament 120 is secured to the mount 110 by a clamp 130 and a retainer 140. The filament 120 may be yttrium-coated iridium, tungsten, or a material suitable for producing electrons. A connector 150 is in electrical communication with the filament 120 and supplies the filament 120 with an electrical current that generates electron flow. Preferably, there is one connector 150 for each filament lead. These filament leads can be bent or formed into various shapes by using a bending tool 170 that bends the filament leads around pins 172 that can be pushed up or down to accommodate bending of the wire, as will be more fully described with reference to FIG. 11. A stand 180 can be used to load the filament assembly 100, as will be more fully described with reference to FIG. 13. A Wehnelt electrode 160 surrounds one end of the filament 120. An electrical bias applied to the Wehnelt electrode 160 draws electrons from the filament 120.

[0067] 14-16, the filament assembly 100 is physically coupled to an ionizer assembly 200. The ionizer assembly 200 includes a Wehnelt support 210 within which the filament assembly 100 is loaded and held. The Wehnelt support 210 is attached to an adjusting plate 214 through a spacer 211, and the adjusting plate 214 is further attached to an ionizer flange 215 such that the Wehnelt support 210 is aligned with an aperture in the ionizer flange 215.

[0068] At least one ion source 220 is included within the ionizer assembly 200 between the terminal end of the Wehnelt electrode 160 and an aperture in the ionizer flange 215. For example, the ion source 220 can include a G2 electrode 222, also referred to as a G2 aperture, and an E electrode 224 separated from each other by an insulator 212. The ion source 220 can also include an F electrode 226 or an F aperture, which is physically separated from the extractor 224 by the insulator 212.

[0069] The E-electrode 224 has two inputs: an electrical bias receiver and a capillary gas input 250. The gas input 250 is connected to a capillary tube 252 in fluid flow communication with a gas feedthrough 254 to supply a process gas flow into the ion source 220. A clamp 255 can secure the gas feedthrough 254 to the ionizer flange 215. The process gas supplied by the gas feedthrough 254 can be argon, xenon, or any other gas, such as an inert gas, or a combination thereof. The gas flow rate can be adjustable from less than 100 standard cubic centimeters per minute (SCCM) to several tens of SCCM, preferably around 0.02 or more, although other flow rates are contemplated.

[0070] In a typical gas ion source, ionization occurs in a chamber held at a high potential relative to ground, providing a pressure much lower than atmospheric, typically a few pascals, for generating ions and subsequently accelerating the ion beam toward ground. The gas supply is typically grounded and at a pressure much higher than atmospheric. The gas must be transferred from a high-pressure state at ground potential to a low-pressure state at high potential. One suitable configuration for gas delivery is a mass flow controller at ground potential, followed by an insulating tube, typically in a vacuum. The tube has a large inner diameter such that the pressure drop across it is negligible, so that the pressure inside the tube is only slightly higher than that inside the ionization chamber. Most of the pressure drop occurs within the mass flow controller. Unfortunately, the optimal ionization pressure is usually near the minimum of the Paschen curve, and therefore glow discharge is not easily prevented inside the insulating tube due to the voltage gradient the tube accommodates. This generally imposes an upper limit on the ionization chamber pressure and / or ion beam potential that can be used.

[0071] To solve this problem, the present invention uses a capillary tube 252 to deliver the process gas. The capillary tube 252 has a very small inner diameter. Given the transition from laminar flow before the capillary tube 252 to molecular flow inside the capillary tube 252, the pressure profile inside the capillary tube 252 is not linear. Instead, the pressure profile is nearly flat near the end of the tube, with a large pressure drop at the outlet. As a result, most of the length of the capillary tube 252 is significantly higher than the ionization chamber. The high pressure inside the capillary tube 252 can accommodate high voltages within the ionizer assembly 200 without risking gas discharge inside the tube. This allows essentially any combination of voltage, ionization pressure, and flow rate to the ion source 220, resulting in improved performance and reliability.

[0072] An electrical bias is individually applied to the G2 electrode 222, the E electrode 224, and the F electrode 226. Electrons emitted from the Wehnelt electrode 160 collide with gas atoms in the region surrounding the ion source 220. Each collision results in the loss of an electron from the gas atom. Multiple collisions generate a large number of ions.

[0073] These ions exit the ionizer assembly 200 and are directed into a focusing assembly 300, shown in Figures 17-21. The focusing assembly 300 includes a support plate 310 that physically secures the lenses. An open structure in the support plate 310 allows for vacuum pumping of various regions of the ion source 220. A spacer 313 physically and electrically separates the extractor from the ion source 220. An electrical bias is applied to the extractor to attract ions ejected from regions of the ion source 220. The ions are controlled by electrical biases applied to the drift tube 324 and focusing electrode 322.

[0074] The focusing assembly 300 further houses a guidance steering assembly 330 capable of electrostatically steering the beam. Preferably, the guidance steering assembly 330 includes a plurality of individually electrically biased guidance steering electrodes in the form of guidance steering rods 332 housed within guidance steering rod insulators 334. Some of the guidance steering rods 332 are X-deflection electrodes, and others are Y-deflection electrodes. The guidance steering rods 332 can be individually electrically biased, enabling precise steering and scanning of the resulting ion beam with approximately ±15 degrees of deflection. A guidance steering rod cover 336 encloses the guidance steering rods 332 and their corresponding insulators 334. The focusing assembly 300 further includes electrical inputs 342 and 344 positioned along its housing 311. An exemplary configuration includes a first electrical input 342 providing 12 kV and up to 20 amps of power. The second electrical input 344 can provide 700V with up to 5 amps of current. One of these electrical inputs can be used to generate the incident ion beam 32 described above. The other provides an electrical bias for deflecting the resulting ion beam toward the sample and steering the incident ion beam 32 across the sample surface 55 for raster scanning purposes.

[0075] The ion beam source 31 described above is capable of producing an ion beam with a beam energy in the range of 1 keV to 50 keV or higher, which may be continuously adjustable with an accuracy of 1 eV. Higher beam energies increase cutting rates but may result in damage to the sample surface. Lower energies produce smoother sample surfaces and less damage, but may result in lower cutting rates.

[0076] The resulting ion beam diameter can be in the range of 50 μm to 5 mm and can be adjustable depending on the energy level. For example, in some embodiments, the beam size can be 50 μm at 10 keV and a current of 0.1 to 7 μA, and in other embodiments, it can be 1.0 mm at 1 keV and a current of 7 to 15 μA. The ion beam can have a current between and including 1 μA and 1000 μA. Preferably, the current is up to 200 μA. A stronger current can increase the cutting rate. The current density of the ion beam is approximately 10 mA / cm. 2 The ion source can be up to 12 mm 2 The raster range can be operable at working distances ranging from 10 mm to 100 mm at a working distance of 25 mm or greater. In at least one embodiment, the raster range can be 10 mm in diameter at a working distance of 25 mm.

[0077] As can be seen from Figures 8-21, the modular design of the ion beam source 31 allows for both rapid replacement of the filament 120 and in-situ xy adjustment of the ionizer assembly 200 relative to the lens.

[0078] The direction of ions emanating from the ion beam source 31 is above and preferably parallel to the sample surface 55, as shown by the initial ion beam 52 in FIG. 5. The incident ion beam angle can be adjusted by changing the sample height along the Y axis 57 and the beam Y deflection bending amplitude caused by the steering assembly 300. Using a combination of these adjustments, the incident point of the incident ion beam 32 coincides with the sample rotation axis 34. By utilizing the XX deflection electrodes of the steering rod 332, the incident ion beam 32 is scanned between both edges of the sample surface 55.

[0079] 6 and 7, the system 500 includes an ion source controller 61 that provides operating instructions to regulate the ion beam voltage, current, extraction voltage, beam size, gas flow rate, and filament emission. The ion source controller 61 controls the various assemblies of the ion beam source 31 described above, including ion beam energy, focus, and ion extraction, as well as several high-voltage power supplies that raster scan the beam in the X direction and deflect or bend the ion beam in the Y direction onto the sample surface 55 shown in FIG. 5. The adjustable amplitude raster control distributes the ion density in the X direction to achieve uniform layer delamination over large areas. Additionally, the ion source controller 61 controls and adjusts the raster scan speed of the incident ion beam 32 to each location extending from the sample center to its maximum radius.

[0080] The ion beam source 31 can be mechanically moved and rotated in the X and Y directions. By physically varying the X adjustment without scanning, the ion beam 32 is positioned with respect to the sample rotation axis. Varying the Y movement ensures that the ion source is at the proper height relative to the cutting plane. Rotational adjustment without applying X deflection ensures that the ion beam position is parallel to the sample surface when attached to the stage 65. This alignment procedure can be performed during system configuration and calibration.

[0081] The system 500 can include various detectors that provide information regarding delamination during the cutting process, each in communication with the control unit 69 to provide data to the control unit 69. The detectors provide information regarding the type of feature on the chip, the location of the feature, the size of the feature, and the chemical composition of the feature.

[0082] The system 500 can include a camera 66 and a light source 67 to capture light reflected from the sample surface. The sample 1 can be illuminated by the light source 67 periodically during the cutting process. Images are then acquired by the camera 66 and sent to the control unit 69. The camera 66 can include various receiving objects for higher or lower resolution imaging. Image recognition software installed on the control unit 69 can recognize patterns exposed during layer peeling for both feature identification and for verifying or adjusting cutting process parameters. Additionally, the light source 67 can be used to reveal differences in vertical spacing between two layers. As cutting progresses, interference fringes appear, corresponding to the depth of the cut area. Light reflection and the appearance of interference fringes are a sensitive method for establishing sample surface non-planarity, even when the non-planarity is on the order of a few nanometers. In an ideal situation, only one interference ring appears on the image, indicating very small depth variations between the center and periphery of the sample. Increasing amounts of ring correspond to greater depth variations.

[0083] During cutting, rings that first appear in the center of the sample are an indication that the cutting rate in the center is higher compared to the surrounding areas. When rings appear near the periphery of the sample, they are an indication that the center is cutting at a slower rate compared to the periphery. If more rings appear, there is a large difference in cutting rate between the center and periphery of the sample. If the width of a single ring is large, the difference in cutting rate is considered to be small. The reflected image can be analyzed by human eye or computer image recognition techniques. The cutting factor k can be adjusted accordingly, either manually or automatically.

[0084] The system 500 can further include a secondary ion mass spectrometer or SIMS 64 that can be used to analyze the elemental composition of material shed from the cutting surface. Typically, the sample layers are separated by semiconductive or nonconductive oxide layers and have a combination of light and heavy elements that can be quantified by SIMS as they shed. This quantification can be sent to a control unit 69 for analysis of the chemistry encountered within each layer for subsequent chip layer composition determination and identification. Chemical composition analysis can be performed at points, in areas, and by maps.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 7 , the system 500 can include an SEM column 75. The SEM column 75 is positioned directly above the sample stage 56 and generates an electron beam that interacts with the sample surface 55 to produce secondary and backscattered electrons and X-rays that are subsequently used to quantify depth profile information, provide three-dimensional structural information, and provide the elemental composition of the sample. A shutter can be positioned adjacent to the SEM objective lens that can be activated to protect the SEM lens and detector from the accumulation of flying particles caused by the layer peeling process. Data acquired from various layers by the SEM working in conjunction with the various detectors can be used to 3D reconstruct the sample by creating feature patterns during the layer peeling process. The layer peeling process can be adjusted or stopped when a specific feature pattern appears.

[0086] System 500 can include a sample stage that implements X and Y translation features, thereby moving the sample position relative to the point of incidence of the electron beam. When the desired resolution of the SEM image limits the field of view, translating the sample to multiple positions allows imaging of the entire sample surface.

[0087] A secondary electron detector or SED can be further included to image electrons emitted from the sample surface excited by electrons from the electron column or ion-induced secondary electrons generated by ions emitted from the ion source 31. A backscattered electron detector or BSE detector can be further included to detect backscattered electrons from the sample surface. Backscattered electrons result from elastic scattering of the primary electron beam by atomic nuclei. Changing the accelerating voltage of the incident electron beam changes the electron penetration depth or interaction volume. Since information is generated by the atomic nuclei, the corresponding elemental signature is known. This signature is particularly useful when attempting to distinguish material differences between various layers within a chip.

[0088] The system 500 may further include an energy dispersive spectrometer or EDS detector 74 that detects x-rays emitted from the sample surface 55 during bombardment by the incident electron beam to characterize the elemental composition of the analyzed spatial region. Combining the BSE and EDS information produces a depth profile in the x and y dimensions of the surface and near-surface.

[0089] Wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) probes, Auger detectors, laser profilers, X-ray, and / or other probes may also be used in this system, not all of which are shown in the figures, but whose inclusion is believed to be within the realm of one skilled in the art.

[0090] The system 500 further includes a control unit 69. The control unit 69 is in communication with all component parts of the system 500 and determines the relevant parameters of the system 500, including adjusting the vacuum conditions in the vacuum chamber 62, the stage movement, and the output of the mass flow controller to regulate the amount of process gas supplied to the ion source 31. The control unit 69 therefore provides operating parameters to the ion source controller 61 for operating the ion source 31. The control unit 69 also controls the movement / adjustment of the sample stage 56. The control unit 69 includes a user interface for interaction with an operator of the system. One or more displays may also be provided on which output data from the detectors can be displayed.

[0091] In addition, the control unit 69 receives inputs from the various detectors and uses this data in mathematical algorithms to control the ion beam density distribution across the chip surface.

[0092] A variety of signals can be acquired point-by-point by the detector, with the size of the point being roughly the size of either the ion beam or the electron beam. The control unit 69 creates a depth profile map from the data generated at points at the sample center, the sample periphery, and any amount in between. A larger amount of points means a higher resolution map. The variation in the depth profile with respect to the corresponding position is then input into an algorithm.

[0093] Analysis of the data from the detector allows for adjustment of the cutting factor k, as described in equation (8), to achieve uniform layer delamination. For example, when the cutting speed at the center of the sample is higher than at the periphery, the cutting factor k must be decreased. When the cutting speed at the center of the sample is lower than at the periphery, the cutting factor k must be increased. The amount of adjustment of k, as described in equation (8), is variable and is determined by the variation in cutting depth.

[0094] The raster scan control can be varied to correspond with the type of sample material, raster scan amplitude, ion beam energy, ion beam current, and other parameters. Based on this calculation, adjustments to the operating parameters required to achieve uniform layer delamination are sent to relevant system components, such as the ion source controller 61, to adjust the raster scan pattern and current density at corresponding locations of the ion beam 32. The result is a physical change in the ion beam raster scan pattern with the goal of minimizing Δd in terms of both the raster scan speed and the corresponding point-by-point current density. Accordingly, the control unit 69 can adjust the cutting factor k in near real time by analyzing the output of the various detectors.

[0095] When the material removal rates for a given layer of a given thickness are equivalent, the process can be repeated by utilizing equivalent ion beam control parameters in incrementally removing subsequent layers. The method can include any amount of predetermined steps for automatically removing multiple layers from a chip.

[0096] The purpose of this system is to precisely control the cutting rate in combination with determining the process endpoint. The simplest form of endpoint determination is by time, but to be effective, both the layer thickness and the cutting rate must be fully known. Since the cutting rate at a specific beam energy for various materials is known, the cutting time is calculated using a predetermined desired layer delamination depth. Once the endpoint is determined, the control unit 69 stops the process by deactivating the ion source 31.

[0097] The endpoint can also be determined by features or specific chemical compositions that appear on the images or analytical data during delamination. If the chemical composition at any particular depth is required, EDS, SIMS, or other chemical analytical data can be relied upon to identify the endpoint.

[0098] System calibration of cutting speed over a given area requires the use of multilayer control samples, where each layer has a different elemental composition. The layer thickness of such samples should be uniform and on the order of 5-50 nanometers per layer. Thicker layers are acceptable, but this will increase the overall cutting / calibration time.

[0099] Because the described preferred embodiment is susceptible to many modifications, changes, and substitutions in detail, it is intended that all matter set forth in the foregoing description and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted in an illustrative and not a limiting sense. The scope of the invention should therefore be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
