Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for predicting surface morphology after CMP. When obtaining the grinding removal rate of materials to be removed, the contact pressure model adopted is the value between the contact pressure distribution of abrasive particles and the step height difference, line width and spacing The model fully considers the influence of abrasive particles on the removal rate of the material to be removed, so that it can describe the actual process of CMP more objectively and truly, so that more accurate predictions of surface morphology and defects after CMP can be achieved, and CMP can be improved. The accuracy of the prediction of the back surface topography is especially suitable for the prediction of the back surface topography of small-sized device wafers after CMP, and provides guidance for parameter setting and design optimization in the CMP process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit simulation modeling, in particular to a method and device for predicting surface topography after CMP. Background technique [0002] Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) is an important part of fine surface processing in semiconductor manufacturing technology, and has become the most widely used planarization technology in the era of very large scale integrated circuits. , so that the grinding surface reaches a nano-level smoothness. [0003] With the continuous shrinking of the feature size of the device, after the manufacturing process enters the process node below the 28nm level, the problem of the flatness of the wafer has become increasingly prominent, and the process fault tolerance has also been reduced to the nanometer level. By predicting the topography of the chip surface after CMP, the reading changes on the surface of the polished wafer can be obtained, and the real-time...
