Less investigation pays attention on micro-structure stress/strain calculation with finite element analysis. This investigation demonstrates the ANSYS simulation results match with real cases results. The chip-level micro-structure simulations include the metal grain size behavior influence the BEOL leakage electrical properties; different design layout causes stress concentration issue, and different collapsed behavior induced by surface tension after wet strip. The wafer-level macro-structure simulation demonstrates that different pattern density of design will affect bow height performance in whole wafer. By means of ANSYS analysis, we can achieve more experiments or DOE splits by perdition simulation instead of real wafers and experiments. Thus, we can save the cost and achieve the time-to market requirement during product development.","PeriodicalId":280728,"journal":{"name":"2017 Joint International Symposium on e-Manufacturing and Design Collaboration (eMDC) & Semiconductor Manufacturing (ISSM)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132325325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, reducing the plasma-induced damage to the thin gate oxides during inter-metal dielectric (IMD) gap-fill process is investigated. Applying in-situ silicon-rich oxide (SRO) or silicon oxy-nitride (SiON) before HDP oxide deposition is found capable of improving plasma damage. Blocking of ultraviolet (UV) light during HDP by SRO or SiON is believed the main reason for damage improvement. However, we report that only in-situ SRO can provide necessary gap-fill performance and good process throughput.","PeriodicalId":280728,"journal":{"name":"2017 Joint International Symposium on e-Manufacturing and Design Collaboration (eMDC) & Semiconductor Manufacturing (ISSM)","volume":"773 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116413433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New device architectures and the materials and processes used to realize them create sources of variability that require better techniques for real-time sensing, filtering, detection, and response. This is not simply a question of faster data collection of the existing equipment variables. In many cases, the data needed to accurately determine the real-time process conditions are not even available in the equipment, so the traditional time-based techniques and endpoint detection methods for controlling recipe execution are not sufficients rather, these advanced processes are effectively “flying blind.” GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a long-time leader in equipment automation and process control, has addressed these issues by integrating specialty sensors into the broader control environment, and shares highlights of their experience for a number of specific process areas in this presentation. It also covers techniques for leveraging today's data collection standards to streamline the integration process, and concludes with a list of suggestions for future equipment control design that deliver the required capabilities more effectively to support the next stages of process evolution.","PeriodicalId":280728,"journal":{"name":"2017 Joint International Symposium on e-Manufacturing and Design Collaboration (eMDC) & Semiconductor Manufacturing (ISSM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130661898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the computational speed of Optimum Production Cycle (OPC) method for HMLV scheduling, the Miller-Tucker-Zemlin formulation of the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP) is used to find a cycle of minimum setup time in real-time. As the result of performance evaluations in an actual wafer test process, the computational time was about 10 seconds even in case that 16 product types and a reentrant step share the same machine.

(%Bias=bias/process variation.) It represents tools are significant difference when %Bias>10% referring to MSA 2nd manual. As each tool is too stable, the influence of variation would be so sensitive, and the mechanism would be too strict. We developed if we combined %Bias criteria of MSA 2nd manual and Cpk monitor in order to solve the sensitive variation of the stable process. Therefore, this mechanism adds Cpk criterion. Due to the method focuses on tools consistency, the Ca formula is made an amendment to measure the degree between difference tools. In general, the criterion of Cpk is 1.67 that means process capability is capable. In the mechanism, the criterion of Cpk is tightened to 1.83. This paper discusses an inline monitoring mechanism to control tools consistency. We use Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test to prove the bias of tools that needs to improve. Therefore, we combined %Bias and Cpk to monitor in our mechanism. After improving the mechanism, it could solve the lack of the past mechanism. Finally, the mechanism can be immediate, comprehensive and effective to control and meet quality requirements.","PeriodicalId":280728,"journal":{"name":"2017 Joint International Symposium on e-Manufacturing and Design Collaboration (eMDC) & Semiconductor Manufacturing (ISSM)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115972514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
