Wafer Inspection Technology Challenges for ULSI Manufacturing
The use of wafer inspection systems in managing semiconductor manufacturing yields is described. These systems now detect defects of size as small as 40 nm. Some high-speed systems have achieved 200-mm diameter wafer throughputs of 150 wafers per hour. The particular technologies involved are presented. Extensions of these technologies to meet the requirements of manufacturing integrated circui...
متن کاملDUV Optical Wafer Inspection System for 65-nm Technology Node
OVERVIEW: The trend of miniaturization in advanced semiconductor devices is accelerating. Against this background, the performance required of a wafer inspection system extends beyond simply greater sensitivity to include accommodating new materials such as ArF photoresist, Cu wiring, and low-k materials as well as higher throughput for 300-mm wafer production lines. With the aim of developing ...
متن کاملQuality Estimation of SEM Wafer Images
This paper describes a practical method for image quality estimation. In particular, this method applies to SEM images of VLSI wafers. Wafers are extremely sensitive to electron charging, since they may contain nonconducting materials. This forces utilization of low energy, low-current electron beams and short viewing times. The images generated under these SEM settings are noisy. An automatic ...
متن کاملModeling, Measurement, and Standards for Wafer Inspection
The major technical issues regarding the calibration of Surface Scanning Inspection Systems (SSIS) are presented including descriptions of the salient features of SSISs and the deposition system using the differential mobility analyzer. The role of the NIST SRM 1963 (100 nm) as a calibration standard is discussed. Data from round robin experiments, which NIST has helped the SEMI SSIS Task Forc...
متن کاملNew DUV Optical Wafer Inspection System
OVERVIEW: In the midst of the rapid acceleration in the advancement of technology nodes, there is a demand for improved performance of waferinspection systems, namely, greater sensitivity as device size moves toward higher integration and density, newer materials such as ArF resist, Cu wiring and low-k films, and higher throughput with 300-mm-diameter wafers. In response to these demands, Hitac...
