Wear effects are evaluated in spinning wheel wafer fixture components made from Al and Torlon materials exposed to high current ion beam exposures and over 350,000 wafer moves over extended time periods. Metrologies used include: (1) optical and SEM microscopy (surface texture changes), (2) optical profilometry (wafer wear and ion erosion), (3) RBS (chemical composition and accumulated ion dose), (4) TOF-SIMS and ICPMS (elemental contamination on wafers). In addition, we present in-line data on reduced wafer chipping with Torlon replacing Al fences. |
