Abstract

With the continuous development of the semiconductor industry, advanced chip manufacturing technology has reached the node of 5 nm and below, and wafer defects will inevitably occur in the manufacturing process. These tiny defects will lead to chip failure and significantly affect product yield. Semiconductor wafer manufacturing involves multiple stages, each of which introduces surface defects that affect the quality of lithography and cause device characteristics to fail. Therefore, it is very important to detect the surface defects of bare wafers. In this paper, a high-precision detection method based on quadriwave lateral shear interferometry (QLSI) is proposed, which can detect nanoscale height changes with high sensitivity and provide wafer surface topology measurement. The non-contact technology avoids the damage caused by probe contact, realizes efficient and real-time detection, reduces production costs and improves product quality.
