A problematic part of the algorithm is to avoid double-counting of the pair forces in short-range. Here, we solve the problem by introducing an efficient numerical method to the algorithm. The improvements in accuracy and applicability are confirmed with various test cases. In addition, the modified P3M method is integrated with a 3D ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) simulator and applied to the device simulations. The results are compared with those of the PM (particle-mesh)-EMC approach, which reveals the limitations of the scattering rate based methods and the importance of the P3M method to treat carrier interactions.","PeriodicalId":331098,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134460678","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}

The yield curves obtained thereby are fed into a feature-scale etching profile simulator which predicts the local etch rates based on these sputter yield curves and on ion fluxes which are calculated for a substrate placed in a sputter reactor. For validating the simulations, a process sequence consisting of deposition and back etching (in an argon plasma) of silicon oxide between metal lines has been studied. Assuming an ion energy of 250 eV allows us to consistently reproduce profiles observed experimentally.","PeriodicalId":331098,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134026061","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}
