Abstract
The feasibility of measuring four profile parameters, i.e,, total etch depth, critical dimension (CD), thickness of remaining poly hard mask, and sidewall angle, for the metal-0 trench of DRAM by a single technique was investigated in this study. Broadband spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to provide non-destructive profile information. The results prove its capability for providing the required profile information, traditionally measured on 4 different metrology tools, by a single measurement. This capability could significantly simplify the process flow for metal-0 trench.
