    • 针对半导体集成电路掺杂元素测量设备校准用硼磷硅玻璃(Boron-Phosphorus-Silicon-Glass,BPSG)介电薄膜标准样片对杂质浓度高稳定性的需求,提出了一种在BPSG层上表面沉积不同厚度保护层并退火的工艺方案,系统研究了保护层厚度对样片稳定性、定值准确性及测量模型的影响,解决了硼磷元素杂质浓度不稳定的问题。XPS分析表明,退火导致硼、磷元素向保护层扩散及析出,保护层厚度应大于50 Å。ICP/MS分析显示,保护层厚度与标准样片杂质浓度稳定性无关,但与测量结果呈线性相关,据此提出了基于线性补偿的标准样片内BPSG介电薄膜硼磷元素杂质浓度准确定值方法。进一步结合FT-IR测量结果,考察保护层厚度对测量准确性的影响,确定了标准样片最佳保护层厚度为100 Å。该研究为高稳定性BPSG标准样片的研制与定值提供了可行方案。

       

      Abstract: tract: To meet the high stability requirement of impurity concentration for boron phosphorus silicate glass (BPSG) dielectric film standard samples used in the calibration of semiconductor integrated circuit doping element measurement equipment, a process scheme is proposed to deposit different thickness protective layers on the upper surface of the BPSG layer and then anneal. The influence of protective layer thickness on the stability, accuracy of value assignment and measurement model of the standard samples is systematically studied, and the problem of unstable boron and phosphorus impurity concentrations is solved. XPS analysis indicates that annealing led to the diffusion and precipitation of boron and phosphorus elements into the protective layer, and the thickness of the protective layer should be greater than 50 Å. ICP/MS analysis shows that the thickness of the protective layer is not related to the stability of impurity concentration of the standard samples, but is linearly correlated with the measurement results. Based on this, a method for accurately determining the impurity concentration of boron and phosphorus elements in the BPSG dielectric film of the standard samples based on linear compensation is proposed. Further combined with the FT-IR measurement results, the influence of protective layer thickness on measurement accuracy is investigated, and the optimal thickness of the protective layer for the standard samples is determined to be 100 Å. This study provides a feasible solution for the development and value assignment of high-stability BPSG standard samples.
