This paper introduces PDC from a manufacturing perspective and the value of design-specific information for successful process control. Several PDC tools are described in terms of this integrated approach and the current embodiment at the IBM Microelectronics Vermont facility. Specifically, these tools include pattern density calculations, critical area extractions, and \"swampfinding\", a method for locating specific design-process sensitivities. The paper then develops both the technical and business strategies that leverage this information into the manufacturing processes. To clearly illustrate the concepts introduced, several examples of PDC results augmented with traditional characterization information, along with the ensuing manufacturing actions are reviewed. Finally, the larger picture of physical design characterization in manufacturing, and the impact upon development, are further developed.","PeriodicalId":64779,"journal":{"name":"半导体技术","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84642484","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 data flow moves beyond drill down and OLAP techniques to \"drill across\" domains and mirror the way engineers naturally perform exploratory yield analysis. The data flow is presented to users in the form of Process Guides, which codify best practice analysis techniques by stepping the user through data access, analysis and collaboration. Rather than replacing vertical applications and data sources, each step of a given process guide adds value to existing point solutions for electrical test, defect, manufacturing execution, wafer position and process data. The architecture of the system is discussed, and examples of Process Guides are shown which illustrate the interactivity of the presentation layer and the flexibility of the framework to deliver best practice techniques for solving cross functional problems.","PeriodicalId":64779,"journal":{"name":"半导体技术","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84525911","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 system, which is fully automated, operates on a SEMI APC framework compliant platform, supports the plug-and-play of multiple APC applications (\"plug-ins\"), and has configurable control rules that allow the user to specify not only how each APC application will be utilized, but also how the APC applications will interact in a complementary fashion. The current system contains real-time data visualization, run-to-run control (R2R), and fault detection and classification (FDC) plug-ins. The data visualization component is currently being utilized for real-time visual monitoring of aspects of equipment health. The R2R component includes a multivariate algorithm and is being used to provide multi-zone control of deposition thickness and resistivity. The FDC component will gather the in-process data from the tool to automatically determine equipment health and classify faults in order to reduce mean time to repair. In this paper, the methodology used to deploy and configure this APC system is described. Data is provided illustrating the use of each of these APC capabilities individually and in complementary fashion. Data analysis is included that focuses on the benefits of utilizing these capabilities, benefits such as improved equipment reliability, improved overall equipment effectiveness and yield. The paper also includes a discussion of the benefits and issues associated with the complementary utilization of multiple APC components in an open architecture framework.","PeriodicalId":64779,"journal":{"name":"半导体技术","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89364350","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 scope of the experiment is to develop a resist strip process on a new ASIC BiCMOS product. To meet tight capacity schedule, the resist removal process must be relatively short. This experiment does not look for the shortest strip time, but considered various gas flow, passivation, and strip sequences to keep the resist strip time well below the total metal etch time. A design of experiment (DOE) was run to measure the response of key recipe parameters. The parameters evaluated were strip time, passivation time, passivation and strip sequence, CF/sub 4/ flow, and temperature. The response was the amount of residual resist remaining after the strip process is completed. The result showed that temperature was the major factor in effective resist removal followed by CF/sub 4/ flow and passivation/strip sequence. A second DOE was run to verify the results and lower margin. Based on the results of the DOE, a robust strip recipe was designed and implemented in manufacturing for all metal etch processes. The new process is shorter than the metal etch process, and does not affect the throughput of the system. Also, no residual resist is found since the new recipe and post-strip inspection procedure was implemented.","PeriodicalId":64779,"journal":{"name":"半导体技术","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87319728","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}
