In this paper, the effect of SiN pull-back process for shallow trench isolation (STI) is investigated by measuring DRAM array's refresh time (Tref) and yield as sensitive monitors. The SiN pull-back is performed by using H/sub 3/PO/sub 4/ solution after trench etch (i.e. before liner oxidation). For comparison, DRAMs were fabricated by using various isolation methods including LOCOS, conventional STI, and poly-buffered STI (PB-STI). The SiN pull-back process is known for reducing "divot" around the top comer in conventional STI. Both LOCOS and PB-STI can result in "divot" free. It is also known that "divot" will degrade the inverse narrow width effect of pass transistor and result in "double hump". In our study, SiN pull-back in STI indeed eliminates "double-hump" in I/sub d/-V/sub g/ curves of pass transistors. The SiN pull-back also can result in better data retention of DRAM than if without pull-back, but comparable to LOCOS and PB-STI. The optimized window of SiN pull-back in this study is 10 nm to 40 nm with best yield at 15 nm (slightly better yield than LOCOS and PB-STI).
本文通过测量DRAM阵列的刷新时间(Tref)和良率作为敏感监测器,研究了SiN回拉过程对浅沟隔离(STI)的影响。在沟槽蚀刻之后(即衬里氧化之前)使用H/sub - 3/PO/sub - 4溶液进行SiN回拉。为了进行比较,采用LOCOS、传统STI和聚缓冲STI (PB-STI)等不同的隔离方法制备了dram。在传统STI中,SiN回拉工艺以减少顶部角处的“剥落”而闻名。LOCOS和PB-STI都可以导致“无草皮”。此外,“草皮”会降低通型晶体管的逆窄宽效应,导致“双驼峰”现象。在我们的研究中,STI中的SiN回拉确实消除了通管I/sub d/-V/sub g/曲线中的“双驼峰”。与没有回拉相比,SiN回拉还可以更好地保留DRAM的数据,但与LOCOS和PB-STI相当。本研究优化的SiN回拉窗口为10 ~ 40 nm,最佳产率为15 nm(略高于LOCOS和PB-STI)。

We evaluated the accuracy of yield impact calculations based on kill ratio analysis. The accuracy was calculated using computer simulated defect maps and bin maps. The results show that the yield impact was inaccurate when parametric faults caused low yield or a large number of non-killer defects were included in inspection reports. It is therefore recommended to evaluate bin maps and reduce the non-killer defects before calculating the yield impact.
我们基于杀伤比分析评估了产量影响计算的准确性。利用计算机模拟缺陷图和bin图计算精度。结果表明,当检测报告中包含参数故障导致的低良率或大量非致命缺陷时,良率影响是不准确的。因此,在计算产量影响之前,建议评估bin图并减少非致命缺陷。

The challenge of staying competitive in the current business environment towards opportunities requires creativity and new extreme thinking. Teamwork and taking risks are imperative to success. Our Novellus equipment maintenance team in the IBM Microelectronics Division Burlington is continually finding creative methodologies over and above the Best Known Methods (BKM) to drive towards better business decisions that translate directly into productivity improvements. Whereas Mean Time to Repair (MTR) could go up due to increased in-house solutions, every effort is driven towards maintaining the equipment availability at target. In this presentation, I will discuss the methodologies the maintenance team deployed to stay at productivity target and yet manage the cost of ownership at reduced spending. Primarily, I will show hardware and software examples that the team saw to be opportunities for improvement.

This paper presents methodologies for using critical area analysis with inline defect data to predict random defect limited yield and for partitioning yield losses by process step. The procedure involves (1) calculating critical areas, (2) modeling defect size distributions, and (3) combining critical area information and defect size distributions to estimate yield loss. We introduce a method to model defect size distribution from inline defect data. We develop two yield prediction methods that can overcome the difficulties caused by the inaccuracies in determining defect size when using laser scatterometry detection. We compare the predicted yield with the actual yield and show that the two are in good agreement.

Wafer level packaging and 3D interconnect for IC technology 集成电路技术的晶圆级封装和3D互连

The important factors for packaging technology are IC packaging costs, the impact of the package on circuit and system performance, and the reliability of the package. Wafer level packaging technology is a promising solution for future IC generations. This paper reviews the wafer level bumping process and its requirement for thick resist coating and full field aligned exposure. 3D interconnect technology is a viable solution for increasing electronic device functional density and reducing total packaging costs. The critical issue is the ability to align and bond with precision, one micron or less, two silicon wafers or a silicon wafer to another substrate. For CMOS devices, this technology can be applied to chip-scale packaging and also to advanced 3D interconnect processes. In this paper, we describe a new approach to wafer-to-wafer alignment using alignment targets at the bond interface, i.e. face to face wafer alignment (SmartVieW/sup TM/) that relies on precision alignment positioning systems to register and align wafers with one micron or better precision.
封装技术的重要因素是IC封装成本、封装对电路和系统性能的影响以及封装的可靠性。晶圆级封装技术是未来几代集成电路的一个有前途的解决方案。本文综述了晶圆级碰撞工艺及其对厚抗蚀剂涂层和全场对准曝光的要求。3D互连技术是提高电子器件功能密度和降低总封装成本的可行解决方案。关键问题是能够精确地对齐和粘合,一微米或更小,两个硅晶圆或硅晶圆到另一个衬底。对于CMOS器件,该技术可以应用于芯片级封装,也可以应用于先进的3D互连工艺。在本文中,我们描述了一种使用键合界面上的对准目标进行晶圆对晶圆对准的新方法,即面对面的晶圆对准(SmartVieW/sup TM/),它依赖于精密对准定位系统以一微米或更高的精度来对准和对准晶圆。

Equipment productivity improvement via inline qualification implementation 通过在线认证的实施来提高设备的生产效率

This paper discusses inline etch equipment qualification implementation at the 200 mm Infineon Technologies Richmond fab. Traditional etch equipment qualification requires offline etching of test blanket (or pattern) wafers of known thickness during a defined period. The process etch rate can be calculated using known film thickness and etch time. Data is obtained using an SPC system, which is then used to qualify the tool set. As a part of process control and data acquisition, time of etch is currently being monitored for automatic endpoint steps. The etch time is collected by an equipment integration software package, which communicates directly with the tool and records readings from sensors, step times, and other process conditions. The etch time is then combined with SPC gathered pre etch film thickness to determine an inline, on product, process etch rate. This gives the ability to monitor a chamber's performance without a costly break in the production for purposes of running a test wafer. This also allows instant detection of an out of control (OOC) process and prevents a significant scrap event.
本文讨论了英飞凌科技里士满200mm晶圆厂的在线蚀刻设备认证实施。传统的蚀刻设备认证要求在规定的时间内对已知厚度的测试毯(或图案)晶圆进行离线蚀刻。利用已知的薄膜厚度和蚀刻时间,可以计算出工艺蚀刻速率。使用SPC系统获得数据,然后使用该系统对工具集进行鉴定。作为过程控制和数据采集的一部分,目前正在监测蚀刻时间的自动端点步骤。蚀刻时间由设备集成软件包收集,该软件包直接与工具通信,并记录传感器读数、步长和其他工艺条件。然后将蚀刻时间与SPC收集的预蚀刻膜厚度相结合,以确定在线,产品上的工艺蚀刻速率。这使得能够监测腔室的性能,而不会因运行测试晶圆而造成昂贵的生产中断。这也允许即时检测失控(OOC)过程,并防止重大报废事件。

Robust optimization of experimental designs in microelectronics processes using a stochastic approach 使用随机方法的微电子过程实验设计鲁棒优化

Design of Experiments (DOE) is a structured approach widely used in the Microelectronics industry for over 20 years to study physical phenomena with simultaneous factors and responses. Today this methodology is in daily use to optimize process and products. With this in mind most DOE software's available on the market introduced since around five years ago have included the Desirability functions of Derringer (1980). Desirability functions permit the optimization simultaneously of several characteristics in the same experimental space. This first step in multi-response optimization was absolutely essential for industrial use of DOE, but this approach's weakness is that it is based on a deterministic optimization model. The provided optimum does not guarantee the robustness of the solution because it does not take into account uncertainty on factors and Response model coefficients. For this reason we are deploying at STMicroelectronics a multi-response optimization solution based on a stochastic approach of optimum's research. It takes into account uncertainty on factors and on coefficients of all the response models. The obtained solution provides a distribution function for the optimized criteria, which permits us to appreciate the statistically determined robustness. The different steps of optimization will be detailed. An example of application, for an advanced metal etch process in 0.18 /spl mu/m technology, will be presented. This permits us to point out the contribution of the stochastic solution to the process robustness and to compare it to the deterministic solution. In this example, the localization between optimums was different in the experimental space. The two solutions were tested and the physical results concluded that the better prediction was obtained with the stochastic optimum. The retained solution for industrialization was obviously the stochastic optimum.
实验设计(DOE)是20多年来在微电子工业中广泛应用的一种结构化方法,用于研究具有同步因素和响应的物理现象。今天,这种方法被日常用于优化工艺和产品。考虑到这一点,市场上大约五年前推出的大多数DOE软件都包含了Derringer(1980)的Desirability函数。可取性函数允许在同一实验空间中同时优化若干特性。多响应优化的第一步对于DOE的工业应用是绝对必要的,但这种方法的缺点是它是基于确定性优化模型的。所提供的最优并不能保证解的鲁棒性,因为它没有考虑因素和响应模型系数的不确定性。为此,我们在意法半导体采用了一种基于随机优化研究方法的多响应优化方案。它考虑了所有响应模型的因子和系数的不确定性。得到的解为优化的准则提供了一个分布函数,这使我们能够欣赏统计确定的鲁棒性。将详细介绍优化的不同步骤。本文将给出一个应用实例,用于0.18 /spl mu/m技术的先进金属蚀刻工艺。这使我们能够指出随机解对过程鲁棒性的贡献,并将其与确定性解进行比较。在本例中,在实验空间中,最优之间的定位是不同的。对两种方案进行了物理实验,结果表明,随机最优方案的预测效果较好。工业化保留方案具有明显的随机最优性。

This permits us to point out the contribution of the stochastic solution to the process robustness and to compare it to the deterministic solution. In this example, the localization between optimums was different in the experimental space. The two solutions were tested and the physical results concluded that the better prediction was obtained with the stochastic optimum. The retained solution for industrialization was obviously the stochastic optimum.","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":"85314803","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}

In this paper, neural networks trained by the error back-propagation algorithm are used to build models of etch rate, uniformity, selectivity and anisotropy as a function of optical emission spectroscopy (OES) data in a reactive ion etching process. The material etched is benzocyclobutene (BCB), a low-k dielectric polymer, which is etched in an SF/sub 6/ and O/sub 2/ plasma in a parallel plate system. Neural network training data are obtained from a multi-way principal component analysis (MPCA) of the OES data. These data are acquired from a 2/sup 4/ factorial experiment designed to characterize etch process variation with controllable input factors consisting of the two gas flows, RF power and chamber pressure. Evaluation of the trained neural networks is performed in terms of root mean square (RMS) error, and less than 3% prediction errors are achieved.
本文利用误差反向传播算法训练的神经网络,建立了反应离子蚀刻过程中蚀刻速率、均匀性、选择性和各向异性随发射光谱(OES)数据的函数模型。刻蚀的材料是低k介电聚合物苯并环丁烯(BCB),该材料是在平行板系统中的SF/sub 6/和O/sub 2/等离子体中刻蚀的。神经网络训练数据由多向主成分分析(MPCA)得到。这些数据是从一个2/sup / 4/析因实验中获得的,该实验旨在表征蚀刻过程的变化,该过程具有可控的输入因素,包括两种气体流量、射频功率和腔室压力。根据均方根误差(RMS)对训练的神经网络进行评估,实现了小于3%的预测误差。
