This assumes even more significance considering the dramatic increase in the levels of metallization made available by the chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) technology and the corresponding increase in cycle time in the Back End Of the Line (BEOL). However, the potential for introduction of defects from such a seemingly innocuous operation as in-line test is frequently overlooked. This paper describes the significance of such defects, a method of monitoring the defect levels and the steps taken to reduce them.","PeriodicalId":424267,"journal":{"name":"10th Annual IEEE/SEMI.

The addition of fluorine to the main etch suppresses the formation of polymers in the reactor chamber. HBr allows the control of the sidewall passivation of the microstructures. A very thin yet robust sidewall layer is desired to achieve ultimate critical dimension (CD) control without sacrificing profile shape. CD microloading (i.e. the difference in the CD bias for nested and isolated lines) is minimized by operating at elevated cathode temperatures. The grain structure of the silicide film determines the roughness of the silicon etch front prior to approaching the gate oxide. In-situ reflectometry and atomic force microscopy have been used to analyse the mechanism of gate oxide texturing and punch through. Reflectometry can be used to predict the exposure of the gate oxide and to switch early enough to a very selective etch step that clears the poly-Si.","PeriodicalId":424267,"journal":{"name":"10th Annual IEEE/SEMI.

Even hardware solutions are available in the market which offer the possibility through product or control inspections to monitor them for the analysis of electrical measurements, performed at the end of the process sequence, and their relationships with yield predictors. The analysis of hundred of variables associated with a yield descriptor presents an important challenge from the statistical standpoint. We have developed a solution that allows an easier differentiation of the main contributor variables to the yield descriptor explanation as well as a graphical output of the analysis. The graphical output also includes the concept of multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis accounts for the relationships of several different variables against each other. Trellis library provides excellent graphical solutions to this type of analysis.","PeriodicalId":424267,"journal":{"name":"10th Annual IEEE/SEMI.

Implementation of ADC can enhance yield learning rates since it can improve the defect classification speed and improve the accuracy of the results. The data shows that both optical and SEM ADC approaches offer their own unique advantages. Optical ADC offers a faster significantly cheaper solution with less accuracy. Higher classification accuracy is obtained from the SEM based approach due to the higher magnifications coupled with the additional Z-information available only with tilted images. The ultimate approach would involve combination of the optical and SEM based approaches to take advantage of the strengths of each system.","PeriodicalId":424267,"journal":{"name":"10th Annual IEEE/SEMI.

As ICs scale, contamination effects become more significant. Metal ions are a major source of poor electrical performance in solid state devices causing increased junction leakage, oxide breakdown strength degradation and metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor leakage which adversely affect the function of ultra large scale integrated (ULSI) circuits. It is important to know the level of contamination that is low enough to be acceptable for a particular application and how effective the wafer cleaning strategies are. There is a need for TCAD tools that include microcontamination effects to produce viable processes for the deep submicron era. This paper describes a concept for integrating contamination effects into the Silvaco VWF Software for the specific case of metals deposited from process solutions. Initial feasibility of the concept is demonstrated by comparison of experimental results from devices fabricated with an intentionally contaminated process with results from simulations for that process.","PeriodicalId":424267,"journal":{"name":"10th Annual IEEE/SEMI.

This analysis provides an effective method of identifying killer copper defects, which inhibit product yield. It has been shown that bitmap overlay (BMOL) analysis is a very effective way of identifying killer defects for any technology at any process step. This can be proven to be a very powerful tool to relate physical defectivity to significant yield loss mechanisms. It has been shown that BMOL can be used to assign a root cause mechanism or a defect to an actual electrical fail without incurring tedious hours of destructive failure analysis. Failure analysis was, however, used to initially verify and confirm root cause of the electrical failures identified by BMOL analysis.","PeriodicalId":424267,"journal":{"name":"10th Annual IEEE/SEMI.

The ADC system is more productive than manual classification systems because of its greater accuracy, consistency, and throughput. Engineers have used it to assist in yield learning, monitoring for excursions, and making in-line yield predictions. Semiconductor manufactures use in-line yield predictions to adjust wafer starts and appropriately disposition lots. This paper explores the quality of the in-line defect-limited yield (DLY) prediction as a function of ADC system performance. When the ADC system is operating optimally, the in-line DLY error is minimized. Maintaining optimal system performance is a two-part project. First, system hardware must be appropriately calibrated and maintained. Secondly, the ADC classifier set-ups must be optimized. ADC classifier performance is measured with two values: accuracy and purity. The relationship between accuracy, purity, and error in the PLY calculation is described. Techniques to optimize classifier performance are discussed. Programmed defect standard wafers (PDSW) are a proven means to monitor the health of inspection tools. A particular PDSW, known as TDS, provides benefits over conventional PDSWs in that it may be used on a variety of inspection tools and is a challenging and sensitive measure of ADC performance. The improvement of in-line defect-limited yield caused by the implementation of the TDS is explored. The impact of in-line DLY prediction on overall fabricator productivity is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":424267,"journal":{"name":"10th Annual IEEE/SEMI.
