Description

OPC correction method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing method, and more particularly, to an Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) Correction method.
Background
With the continuous development of the wafer process technology, the feature size on the logic device node is close to or even smaller than the wavelength of light wave used in the photolithography process. According to the principles of light wave diffraction and interference: the light wave will diffract when passing through the mask plate, and the interference will occur at different positions of the mask plate. Therefore, the intensity distribution actually projected onto the wafer is the result of the superposition of these diffracted interfering light waves, which is not exactly the same as the mask pattern. This phenomenon of deviation between the lithographic pattern and the mask pattern due to diffraction and interference of light waves is called the Optical Proximity Effect (OPE). In the photoetching process, the optical proximity effect is inevitable, and the existing method adopts the OPC technology to reduce the deformation and deviation of a mask plate pattern projected to a silicon wafer pattern as much as possible so that the exposed pattern meets the design requirement.
The OPC model is generally built by collecting modeling data under conditions of optimal exposure energy and focal plane, where the optimal focal plane refers to the minimum delta [ CD ]/delta [ focus ] differential value, where delta represents the differential, CD represents the critical dimension of the pattern, and focus represents the focal length. The optimal exposure energy is the energy value which can be obtained on the selected optimal exposure focal plane and is closest to the target size. The model built under such conditions is used to correct the design layout, which only ensures the accuracy under the optimal conditions, but cannot give better predictions when the conditions change.
