In contrast, new IDs in the V-shaped notch were clearly recognized up to the final process. The results can be explained in terms of marking dot topography and choice of the marking location. First, for marking the beveled part in a V-shaped notch on a wafer, known as finer marking, the influence of any semiconductor processes in which a conventional ID on the surface has only limited readability is kept to a minimum. Second, a marking dot formed by conventional laser marking has a central depression due to the process of general heat distribution. In contrast, a marking dot formed by finer marking has a central peak protruding from the surface, which is more easily distinguished than a dot which has a central depression. A difference in contrast has a great influence on readability for identification in semiconductor processes.","PeriodicalId":104122,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISSM2000.

It consists of four skeleton steps: name mapping, business process binding, resource reservation binding, and service management binding. To assess the feasibility and potential of DMSPM, the order commitment service (OCS) provided by a foundry serves as a study case. A prototype system is designed and implemented to realize DMSPM in the OCS application. The implementation demonstrated that current OO technology, CASE tools, Jab information infrastructure and data/information availability make DMSPM readily realizable and that DMSPM has a good potential for application to virtual Jab and e-business developments.","PeriodicalId":104122,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISSM2000.

By the advance surface analysis of tungsten film and polishing pad, the influence and deviation of surface roughness of tungsten film during CMP upon different hardness of pads were investigated. From the results of the experiment, this article attempts to address the key point of non-linear tungsten polishing performance, which is different from the linear polishing phenomena of oxide film. In addition, the phenomena provide the hint to fulfilling the optimized procedure to improve the throughput and cost; that is that multiple steps and pads could be required to resolve the redundant process and promote the throughput. Finally, the marathon test would prove the stability and flexibility of the optimized process. There is over 25% throughput improvement compared with vendor's best-known method. The 30% /spl sim/ 50% efficiency of extended pad life and cost of reduced slurry could be enhanced. Details of the developed and optimized theory are demonstrated and appear to be reproducible on tungsten CMP.","PeriodicalId":104122,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISSM2000.

Then the new loadings forecast comes out and you discover that the process your factory was going to ramp down is ramping up and the new process startup has been pulled in. Is your factory flexible enough to commit to the new loadings forecast and still meet the startup schedule? There is only one way to find out, you go to the Internet and consult the Route and Tool Readiness (RTR) System. The Route and Tool Readiness system is a spreadsheet-based system accessible from the Intel Intranet, which links information from several different sources to give an integrated view of a startup project. These include tool schedules, route information, throughput time data and engineering contact names. As the time between process development and process transfer into manufacturing continues to decrease, the RTR system becomes more critical. It enables factory management to successfully deal with last-minute technology changes during transfer as well as sudden shifts in market demand between multiple technologies. At the same time, it makes technology transfer projects more productive, accurate, and faster.","PeriodicalId":104122,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISSM2000.

Traceability information was programmed into each unit; investigated were infant mortality of edge die versus center die, effects of unusual sort yield signatures on infant mortality, alternating column effects, and the sources of variability of burn-in failures. The model that latent defect density is proportional to yield defect density was found to be in excellent agreement with experimental data over a wide range of yield values. The x-y die position yield was found to be an excellent predictor of infant mortality. The variation in infant mortality from wafer to wafer was found to be twice the lot to lot variation, consistent with the large number of single wafer processing tools used on advanced fabrication processes. Because the traceability information was part of the standard manufacturing flow this analysis was performed using very large, 1 million unit sample sizes.","PeriodicalId":104122,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISSM2000.

This application, based on control of pH and ORP value in water, is a candidate for future cooling water system to achieve initial and running cost reduction as well as ESH (environment, safety and health) promotion.","PeriodicalId":104122,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ISSM2000.
