Popis: Along with the transition to 300 mm wafers, wafer suppliers, tool vendors and device manufactures are confronted with new challenges. The high quality standard of 200 mm is the baseline for recent developments on 300 mm. Wafer quality, tool reliability as well as unit process and integration issues, are the main focus of interest. The current status for the diffusion area at Semiconductor300 shall be presented in this paper. The readiness of our tool set for 300 mm volume production is shown in terms of process capability of batch furnaces and single wafer tools, manufacturing key parameters and cost of ownership comparisons to equivalent 200 mm tools and processes. The data presented are derived from an already qualified 0.24 μm 64 M DRAM pilot line production and can therefore be easily extended to high volume production lines.
