In the first case, a CD is measured in the same process tooling as the defect inspection. The SRAM gate CD is shown to correlate strongly with defectivity, which affects the RMG formation. In this FINFET technology, the high aspect ratio of the gate makes removing the dummy gate very difficult. Residue is left behind, especially in multi-fin structures. The CD variation across wafer is shown, and inversely correlates with the observed defect density. In the second case, CDU is used to confirm and validate the fix for a latent-image ('ghost image') yield issue.","PeriodicalId":349004,"journal":{"name":"2018 29th Annual SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133407165","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}

Furthermore, despite many process steps becoming more utility (and especially electrical power) — efficient, the increasing number of times a wafer visits process chambers has resulted in the energy use per cm2 wafer area increasing, reversing the trend of previous years. Figure 2 illustrates this phenomenon, which is also exacerbated by the use of double and quadrupole patterning, 3D device stacking and the use of EUV in HVM (which reduces the number of process steps but is utility-intensive).","PeriodicalId":349004,"journal":{"name":"2018 29th Annual SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC)","volume":"282 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116081780","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}

This area also contains features which assist in the manufacturing process but are not present in a final product. Examples of such features include lithography alignment and overlay marks, thickness measurement pads and electric test macros. The overall design of scribe line features can be drastically different from the die layout. In the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, regions of low pattern density have higher polishing rates compared to those of high pattern density, leading to overpolishing or \"dishing\". The scribe line, with intermittent regions of low and high pattern density, is naturally more prone to dishing, an issue which is exacerbated by thickness variation at the wafer edge. In this work, we present examples of how interaction between process variation and scribe line design can result in yield loss for the prime die.","PeriodicalId":349004,"journal":{"name":"2018 29th Annual SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116120536","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 purpose of this work is to investigate the sources of contamination and find an effective solution for Back End of Line (BEOL) processes and improve tool up time. Despite typical maintenance, such as cycling chamber, wiping Electric Static Chuck (ESC) components and replacing chamber consumable parts, particle contamination issue persisted. Contamination analysis and ESC examination suggested etch byproduct redeposition during chuck discharge step as root cause. Modifying the discharge step was found to reduce the particle failure rate from 50% to 7%. This significant improvement confirms redeposition on ESC during discharge step and particle resuspension from ESC surface is the primary source for the particle contamination issue.","PeriodicalId":349004,"journal":{"name":"2018 29th Annual SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125383598","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}

However, merely bringing the well-known architecture to the defect classification task was unable to resolve dataset problems: imbalance, ambiguity and inconsistency.
