Passive voltage contrast (PVC) has traditionally been used by semiconductor engineers for end-of-line post-mortem analysis. PVC distinguishes between open and short structures and is both nondestructive and noncontact. When applied during process dev

Gate oxide damage resulting from high density plasma chemical vapor deposition of silicon oxide was investigated using damage sensitive antenna structures with area ratios up to 200,000 :1. Significant damage was detected from an unoptimized oxide de

The growing occurrences of WLAN, BT, and FM on the same mobile device have created a demand for putting all three on the same die to save on die size, I/O count, BOM, and ultimately cost. Common blocks such as crystal oscillator, bandgap, and power m

The charge based capacitance measurement (CBCM) technique (Chen et al, IEDM p. 69, 1996) was used in order to measure femto-farad level intermetal capacitances between metal lines in different configurations. The results are presented and compared wi

Accelerated corrosion of tungsten in tungsten-plug vias was observed due to charging of certain test structures during metal etch in a plasma etcher. This charge is shown to be a positive charge and is responsible for the accelerated dissolution of t

Advanced interconnect fabrication may require alternative TiITiN processes, such as an ionized metal plasma (IMP) sputtering technique to deposit Ti/TiN liner for sufficient step coverage in high aspect ratio contacts/vias. Since TiN is also widely u

Optimization of the passivation scheme for a 0.35 μm TLM process is presented. The passivation layer is required to provide mechanical and chemical protection during the assembly and packaging process and long term environmental protection. The pass
