The failure mechanism of unfilled tungsten plugs was attributed to electrochemical corrosion during the post-metal etch solvent strip. This tungsten plug corrosion led to high contact and via failure rates, failure of the yield impact prediction model, electromigration test failure, and 3% to 6% yield loss at final test. Several detailed experiments were performed towards identifying and resolving this corrosion plug failure mechanism. It was found that modification of the Tungsten CMP buff significantly reduced the failure rate and led to increased probe yield with improved manufacturability.","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":"81578239","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 removal of surface contaminants prior to these process steps results in more reliable connections between the bonding surfaces. In this paper we present a new plasma process for die and chip carrier cleaning. Highly reactive radicals are generated in a hollow cathode discharge using different gas mixture; i.e. argon/hydrogen, argon/oxygen, and argon/ nitrogen. The radicals react with surface contaminants to form volatile compounds which subsequently degas from the substrate surface. The employment of a hollow cathode plasma source ensures a high degree of ionization and molecular fragmentation of the working gas. At the same time, the plasma potential was kept below 30 V. As a result, the cleaning process is purely chemical and not associated with surface erosion due to physical sputtering caused by energetic ions. Visual inspection, wire pull test, and contact angle measurements were used to confirm the cleaning efficiency.","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":"89481709","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 analytical model analyzes the number of operators required to process wafers and perform operator-level equipment service and maintenance. Machine interference is modeled as an M/M/c queue with finite calling population. When compared to a simulation model, the analytical model yields close results in various factory loading and equipment maintenance plans. The analytical model is then implemented as an Intranet on line tool for staffing analysis in a Motorola factory. The implemented system allows fast and accurate analysis on different equipment groupings (assignments of equipment to bays), PM schedule, product mix, and operator loading assumptions.","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":"89484244","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}

Megasonic cleaning is known as one of the most effective techniques in blanket wafer cleaning. The authors have studied megasonic rinsing and cleaning processes for blanket wafers and provided both experimental and modeling results. Although megasonic cleaning is currently used in patterned wafer cleaning, the mechanism of the process is not well understood. In our previous research , simulation of pulsating flow passing a series of rectangular cavities was verified and showed excellent agreement with the numerical and experimental results of Perkins. Pulsating flow rinse shows a significant advantage in patterned wafer cleaning because the vortex oscillating mechanism enhances the mixing. In this paper, the removal of contaminants from high aspect-ratio submicron trenches using high frequency pulsating flow (megasonic rinse) is studied using physical modeling.","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":"89766133","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}

Its advantages over traditional methods that use either SEM or electrical CD metrologies are based on two key factors. First, it exploits a specially designed mark corresponding to a particular CD. Second, instead of mark dimensions the mark image irradiance is measured with a CCD TV camera. In combination, these provide an easy-to-implement and inexpensive technique for controlling exposure tool imaging performance. In actual application, best focus determination shows a repeatability (3/spl sigma/) of less than 5 nm.","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":"87957017","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}

Both Hf and Zr contamination are introduced onto the wafer surface if they are present in an APM solution (which is caustic), but such contamination is easily removed using existing cleans. If contamination remains on a wafer, an effect on gate oxide integrity using ramped voltage testing is only observed at very high concentrations of Hf. Time dependent dielectric breakdown results are affected at lower levels of contamination. This is true particularly if the contamination is introduced using an APM solution. Wafer-to-wafer cross contamination can also occur in a thermal reactor during high temperature anneals of high-k dielectric layers.","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":"82467284","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}

Products which use shallow trench isolation (STI) are susceptible to thin trench oxide which can lead to leaky transistors as the cobalt silicide gets formed around the edges of the active region, creating a current path when trench oxide is thin. PMOS transistors are more susceptible to this leakage current mechanism as the PMOS source drain implants are shallower than the NMOS. Implementation of feed forward of post CMP trench oxide thickness to trench recess etch time can compensate for incoming variation from STI CMP. This results in a more consistent field oxide thickness, and a more consistent field oxide to active area step height. This is accomplished by adjusting the trench recess HF time based on the incoming oxide thickness. P+ contact leakage on test lots decreased significantly as a result of the STI trench recess feed forward process between the TEST and CONTROL legs of the experiment.","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":"86560742","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 new fab architecture and design will reduce capital outlay and fab construction time by 50%, increase equipment utilization by 100%, reduce COO by 30%, and reduce both process cycle time and work in process by at least 30%, and cut annual operating expense by 30%. Integral to this new approach is the cooperative alignment of IC makers and equipment suppliers throughout the equipment and fab life cycle.
