摘要(英) |
In mask manufacture,“Contact Hole Layer” is a hole layer which has square shape used for pattern design. Sometimes it is not well exposed because of particle issue come from exposure, develop or etching process, and we call it “Missing Contact Hole”.
Although the Critical Dimension(CD) value for the repaired defect meets mask shipping specification after repaired the missing contact hole by specific repair tools, it is still a main issue to find a suitable Energy-Defocus Window(E-D Window) for wafer exposure in wafer fabrication(Fab). The impacts will lead to extra mask remaking needed, mask scrapped, cost increased, and wafer production delay.
In the thesis we brought up an ”Over-Repair” idea. By means of increasing repair times or repair energy to improve repaired missing contact hole profile, the idea also solve the existing problem on failing to provide expected function as normal pattern by repaired missing contact hole.
We use two different Focus Ion Beam(FIB) repair tools, and apply “Over-Repair”(The repair frequency or dosage is more than “Normal Repair” which is calculated and defined by repair tool itself.) method on programmed defects, to study the characteristics of different repair conditions. Then we use Aerial Image Measurement System (AIMS) simulation tool to confirm the difference of CD, intensity and E-D window, and find out the best condition for missing contact hole repairing in mask manufacture. This condition will provide ample space for wafer exposure process window in Fab.
According to the experiment result, we have a conclusion as follows: For SEIKO/SIR-3000X repair tool, we could get the best E-D Window condition by increasing repair frequency about 74%. For FEI/Accura 850 repair tool, the repair condition calculated and defined by repair tool itself is already the best condition for missing contact hole repairing, it is no need to implement over repair method.
In the future we will apply our conclusion on missing contact hole repairing, to improve repair result for specific FIB repair tool, then enhance the efficiency of repair tools.
