The Mechanism of an Etching-Back to Reduce the Density of Cone Defect in STI During the Manufacturing
The formation of cone defects is a side effect of the shallow trench isolation (STI) etching process, caused by the redeposition of residue from silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, or byproducts from the etching process. This study aims to explain the mechanism responsible for these defects during STI etching. The utilization of this model can enhance the design for manufacturability by streamlining the manufacturing process, reducing susceptibility to defects and process variations, and ultimately improving the reliability and manufacturability of production.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing addresses the challenging problems of manufacturing complex microelectronic components, especially very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Manufacturing these products requires precision micropatterning, precise control of materials properties, ultraclean work environments, and complex interactions of chemical, physical, electrical and mechanical processes.
