當晶圓的面積增大時,晶圓上的缺陷並非呈現隨機性分布,而是有群聚現 象發生。缺陷群聚現象使得卜瓦松良率模式低估產品的良率;負二項良率模式中 的值過於散亂,也可能為負值;複合卜瓦松良率模式的建構複雜,較不易為業 界所接受。Jun et al. 所建構之良率模式,必需考慮迴歸模型之適配度與基本假 設是否違反;利用倒傳遞網路構建良率模式則需考慮網路參數設定問題。此外,
目前是以人工的方式分析晶圓上缺陷的空間樣式以找出製程變異的可能原因。然 而,人工判定除了費時外,亦可能因誤判進而影響偵測製程變異的準確性。因此,
構建一個有效的晶圓缺陷樣式辨識系統為學界與業界重視。許多文獻提出一些晶 圓缺陷樣式辨識方法來判定製程是否異常,但亦皆有其不完善之處。
本研究利用一般迴歸神經網路(GRNN)來構建良率模式,並利用多類別支撐 向量機(Multi-class SVM)來構建缺陷樣式辨識系統;最後整合成一個良率預估模 式及缺陷樣式辨識之晶圓缺陷診斷系統。本研究以模擬實驗來說明本研究所提之 整合良率預估及缺陷樣式辨識之晶圓缺陷診斷系統的可行性;並進一步與學者所 提之良率預估模式與缺陷樣式辨識系統做比較以驗證本研究的有效性與優越 性。本研究所提之整合良率預估及缺陷樣式辨識之晶圓缺陷診斷系統的優點如 下:
1. 本研究能找到四個切題的晶圓特徵因子(D、CVA、CVD以及 CIE)當作 GRNN 良率預估模式之輸入變數來預估晶圓良率;比其他中外文獻所提的良率模式 只能找到一個或兩個參數來預估晶圓良率有更準確的預估效果。
2. 本研究所提之多類別 SVM 晶圓缺陷樣式辨識系統在本模擬實驗之個案中,
亦比利用 BPNN 網路以及 RBF 神經網路之辨識技術更能夠正確地來辨識晶圓 表面的缺陷樣式。
本研究構建之晶圓缺陷樣式診斷系統未來可與晶圓缺陷檢測掃瞄器 KLA 機 台整合應用於 IC 生產線上。當製程呈現中、低良率時,可即時追蹤發生原因,
以進一步做診斷改善。再者,製程工程師亦可在晶圓完成製造並經由檢測後,藉 由位元圖得到的不良晶片資訊與本研究於每個關鍵製程的診斷做比對,以分析可 能導致該晶片不良的原因,儘速進行改善措施。
