We present a gauge study of an on-line metrology system for chemical-mechanical polishing and a 600 wafer run by run (RbR) control experiment enabled by on-line wafer measurement. The variability, reliability, and accuracy of the on-line metrology sy

Metal sputter deposition processes for semiconductor manufacturing are characterized by a decrease in deposition rate from run to run as the sputter target degrades. The goal is to maintain a desired deposition thickness from wafer to wafer and lot t

An advanced multivariable in-line process control system, which combines traditional statistical process control (SPC) with feedback control, has been applied to the CVD tungsten process on an Applied Materials reactor. The goal of the model-based co

On-line statistical process control (SPC) has been implemented on a single-wafer remote microwave plasma photoresist asher. SPC for ashing is made more difficult because the prior processes, e.g., ion implantation, affect the properties of the resist

An intelligent model‐based control system provides a framework for the efficient application of in situ sensors to semiconductor manufacturing. This article discusses the components of such a system. The specific example presented in this article i

To reduce surface damage and achieve vertical profiles during selective etching of polysilicon, uniformity of the pol silicon across the wafer after the bulk etch step must be ensured. The bulk polysilicon gate etch process on a single-wafer plasma r

We applied statistical experimental design concepts to the study of the interaction of ion implantation with remote‐plasma photoresist ashing. A 28–4IV fractional‐factorial screening experiment revealed that implant species and resist hard bake

An eddy current testing method was used to continuously monitor crystal growth process and investigate the effects of growth conditions on thermal profiles during Czochralski silicon crystal growth. The experimental concept was to monitor the intrins

Two-dimensional thermal profiles of growing Czochralski silicon crystals have been determined in situ using an eddy current probe. An analysis of multifrequency eddy current data was accomplished by modelling the interactions of the induced electroma

This work reconsiders within-wafer nonuniformity (WIWNU) metrics for semiconductor processes. Simulations of typical chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) scenarios are used to demonstrate that these metrics may vary with the pre-process thickness prof
