用高斯描述符和贝叶斯优化,自动设计可制造的模板与双组分配方

Fully automated inverse co-optimization of templates and block copolymer blending recipes for DSA lithography

  • 用两个参数的高斯描述符表征模板形状,提升优化效率
  • 在多种多孔图案下实现高精度自组装,关键参数有宽调谐窗口
  • 兼顾工艺可制造性,适合芯片制程研发人员参考

定向自组装(DSA)的嵌段共聚物(BCPs)为7纳米以下节点的接触孔或通孔制造提供了极具前景的方案。为实现尺寸与位置精确控制的圆形孔,需要由合理设计的模板引导嵌段共聚物自组装。有效参数化模板形状以实现高效优化仍是关键挑战。本文提出使用仅含两个参数的高斯描述符表征模板形状,并采用AB/AB双组分混合体系替代纯二嵌段共聚物,以增强系统对模板形状的适应性。通过贝叶斯优化(BO)联合优化双组分比例与模板形状,结果表明基于高斯描述符的BO能高效生成适用于多种多孔图案的最优模板,均实现高度匹配的自组装形貌。同时,通过约束模板曲率变化,确保了每个优化后模板的优异可制造性。值得注意的是,在高精度要求下,各组分关键参数仍具有较宽可调范围。本工作为推进DSA技术发展提供了重要洞见,有望加速其实际应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) offers a highly promising approach for the fabrication of contact holes or vertical interconnect access at sub-7nm technology nodes. To fabricate circular holes with precisely controlled size and positions, the self-assembly of block copolymers requires guidance from a properly designed template. Effectively parameterizing the template shape to enable efficient optimization remains a critical yet challenging problem. Moreover, the optimized template must possess excellent manufacturability for practical applications. In this work, we propose a Gaussian descriptor for characterizing the template shape with only two parameters. We further propose to use AB/AB binary blends instead of pure diblock copolymer to improve the adaptability of the block copolymer system to the template shape. The Bayesian optimization (BO) is applied to co-optimize the binary blend and the template shape. Our results demonstrate that BO based on the Gaussian descriptor can efficiently yield the optimal templates for diverse multi-hole patterns, all leading to highly matched self-assembled morphologies. Moreover, by imposing constraints on the variation of curvature of the template during optimization, superior manufacturability is ensured for each optimized template. It is noteworthy that each key parameter of the blend exhibits a relatively wide tunable window under the requirement of rather high precision. Our work provides valuable insights for advancing DSA technology, and thus potentially propels its practical applications forward.
