There are two phases to the fabrication process. In the first phase, the Ag electrodes are produced using a state-of-the-art micro-girder (μG) cantilever-based in-house printing system. The second phase involves dropcasting the dispersion of leaf-structured Se-Fe2O3 in deionized (DI) water between the printed electrodes. The printed device’s electrical response is observed to be similar to that of a Schottky diode. An analytical model based on the thermionic emission theory was used to verify these features with the acquired experimental results. The ideality factor of the device is extracted as 3.44. At room temperature, the device exhibits a barrier height of 0.72 eV and series resistance of 159 kΩ.

The drawback results in the circuit suffering from missed VIA connections with wordlines (WLs) and common source line (CSL), and unexpectedly high leakage current to impact device operation. Reviewing the images of physical failure analyses (PFA), the slit profile twisting that happened during plasma etching leads to worse line-edge roughness (LER) at the bottom of 12 μm-deep trench. It was also suspected that imbalanced polymer accumulated on the sidewalls of hard mask during etching enhances the electron shielding effect, which makes asymmetrical incident ions trajectory angle worsen the bottom LER. The issues mentioned in this study can be successfully eliminated by etch recipe optimization. The electrical qualification of the slit trench profile requires excellent isolation between bit-lines (BLs) and WLs with less than 1nA of leakage current.","PeriodicalId":436890,"journal":{"name":"2022 33rd Annual SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124355137","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}

While this is generally very dependable that under certain conditions, we have discovered pattern factor can play a role in the laser anneal process.

Due to the high-speed rotating operation, friction between materials with very high resistivity such as DI(Deionized) water, dielectric films and non-conductive clean tool hardware builds up surface charge on the wafer. Then it causes arcing or local Si damage by an instantaneous discharge when conductive chemical mixture contact with the surface. In this study, a detailed evolution of the accumulated wafer surface charge was monitored by the real-time electro-static meter, and the disruptive discharging phenomenon was successfully revealed. In order to control the surface charge defects in spin-cleaning process, it was found to be effective to implement an improved cleaning sub-process adding a wafer backside pre-injection step, which safely releases the accumulated surface charge, as well as to adopt a conductive tool chuck and CO2 dissolved water. In addition, it was found through CFD(Computational fluid dynamics) analysis that the charge distribution of the wafer surface is greatly affected by flow characteristics such as the wall shear stress in the DI water rinse process.","PeriodicalId":436890,"journal":{"name":"2022 33rd Annual SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (ASMC)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123179978","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}
