Abstract
A PNA temperature monitoring method comprises: Step 1, forming zero mark layer patterns on a tested silicon substrate; Step 2, forming a nitrogen-doped gate oxide by the following process: growing an oxide layer, doping the oxide layer with nitrogen, and carrying out PNA; Step 3, forming overlay layer patterns, and overlaying the overlay layer patterns and the corresponding zero mark layer patterns to form monitoring structures; and Step 4, measuring overlay values of the overlay layer patterns and the corresponding zero mark layer patterns of the monitoring structures, and regulating a PNA temperature according to the measured overlay values. By adoption of the method, the influence of the PNA temperature on a gate oxide in a two-dimensional plane can be monitored, and then the PNA temperature can be regulated to increase product yield.
