Popis: As the design rules of semiconductor devices have decreased, the detection of critical killer defect has became more important. One of killer defect is under-etch defect caused by insufficient contact etch. Although very low throughput only e-beam inspection tool has used for monitoring tools of under-etch defect because optic wafer inspection does not have enough defect signal to detect that on a contact layer. In this study, a new method is suggested for detection of under-etch defect using optic wafer inspection tools which have high throughput and repeatability.
