Ring Oscillators (ROs) are used for yield learning during the research phase of a CMO technology. We performed cross-sections and showed that the open and short defects are in the middle of line (MOL) gate structures. The defects which are related to MOL or prior processes, as well as the design and density, will be discussed in the paper.

A novel method for selective deposition of metal features has been developed and evaluated for several different metallization applications in device manufacturing and advanced packaging technologies. Selectroplating® is based on a selective chemical modification (SCM) of field areas of a wafer and can be implemented for either a fill-based integration, such as Cu dual damascene, or an additive process such as plating of wide conductive lines. In either integration, the primary benefit of selective deposition is to prevent deposition of metal in areas between desired features thus eliminating the need to remove excess bulk metal in the next step.
一种新的选择性沉积金属特征的方法已经开发出来,并评估了几种不同的金属化应用在器件制造和先进的封装技术。selectro镀®是基于晶圆场区域的选择性化学改性(SCM),可以实现基于填充的集成,如Cu双damascene,或添加剂工艺,如镀宽导电线。在任何一种集成中,选择性沉积的主要好处是防止金属沉积在所需特征之间的区域,从而消除了在下一步中去除多余大块金属的需要。

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) TiN metal films are used in semiconductor manufacturing for various purposes, such as work function metal, metal cap, and barrier films. ALD TiN chamber and process generate different types of particle defects having different morphologies and compositions. One of the main types of defect was found to be TiN surface particle from tetrakis-dimethylamino titanium (TDMAT). This work presents a solution to reduce the surface defects that are generated from the condensation of TDMAT. In this work, heated gas lines for He carrier gas and other process gases, such as Ar and N2, were used to reduce surface defects from ALD TiN. Two methods for heating gas lines were evaluated. In one method, gas lines with in-build heater were used and, in another method, heating jackets were used to heat the gas lines. A detailed material characterization of ALD TiN film using SIMS, XRD, and XPS was carried out to understand the influence of heated process gases on ALD TiN film properties. A significant surface defects reduction of more than 30% was achieved using the heated gas lines of process gases.

Nano Ni/Cu-TSVs with an Improved Reliability for 3D-IC Integration Application 提高3d集成应用可靠性的纳米Ni/ cu - tsv

Two of the major reliability issues in threedimensional (3D)-LSIs namely the back-metal contamination (i.e. diffusion of Cu into active Si during the BEOL processes), and the thermo-mechanical stress associated with through-Si-via (TSV) were meticulously studied for Ni/Cu nano-TSVs for their application in 3D-IC integration. A very good barrier ability against Cu-diffusion for Ni seed layer was confirmed from the stable C dd and the absence of metal impurities in the underneath dielectric layer and beyond by respectively the capacitance-voltage analysis and the secondary ion mass spectroscopy, even after annealing at 300 °C. Further, a cluster of 36 Ni/Cu nano-TSVs having the width value of ~500 nm spreading over ~70 μm2 area did not induce any additional thermo-mechanical stress in the vicinal Si after annealing at 300°C, whereas the conventional 5 pm- width Cu-TSVs over a similar area have induced >300 MPa of compressive stress after annealing.
为了将Ni/Cu纳米TSV应用于3D- ic集成,研究人员仔细研究了三维(3D) lsi中的两个主要可靠性问题,即金属背污染(即在BEOL过程中Cu扩散到活性Si中)和与Si-via (TSV)相关的热机械应力。通过电容电压分析和二次离子质谱分析证实,即使在300℃退火后,Ni种子层仍具有良好的阻挡cu扩散的能力,并且在介电层下和介电层外没有金属杂质。此外,宽度为~500 nm的36个Ni/Cu纳米tsv簇分布在~70 μm2的面积上,在300℃退火后不会在邻近的Si中产生任何额外的热机械应力,而在类似面积上的传统5 pm宽度的Cu- tsv在退火后会产生bb0 300 MPa的压应力。

Automated material handling systems (AMHS) in Semiconductor Fabrication Plants (Fabs) are crucial to achieve a high production throughput. When refurbishing an existing or planning a new Fab production plans are used to decide on the necessary tool park. But what about AMHS planning? To our knowledge no method exists, given an anticipated product mix, to reliably generate expected transport patterns including nonproductive transports. This paper summarizes a methodology based on a given product mix together with scheduling rules and AMHS characteristics to generate such transport patterns, including non-productive transports like test wafers and empty FOUPs, and subsequently a deep insight into actual AMHS capabilities and requirements in the planning phase. Results will be reviewed via static simulation to identify possible AMHS bottlenecks as early as possible.
半导体制造工厂(fab)中的自动化物料处理系统(AMHS)对于实现高生产吞吐量至关重要。在翻新现有工厂或计划新建工厂时,需要使用生产计划来确定必要的工具库。但是AMHS的规划呢?据我们所知,在给定预期产品组合的情况下,没有方法可以可靠地生成包括非生产性运输在内的预期运输模式。本文总结了一种基于给定产品组合的方法,结合调度规则和AMHS特性来生成这种运输模式,包括非生产性运输,如测试晶圆和空foup,以及随后在计划阶段对实际AMHS功能和需求的深入了解。结果将通过静态模拟进行审查,以尽早确定可能的AMHS瓶颈。

Virtual overlay metrology has been developed for a series of nine implant layers using a hybrid approach that combines physical modeling with machine learning. The prediction model is evaluated on production data. A high prediction capability is achieved and the model is able to follow variations in the implant-layer overlay and to identify outliers. We will use the prediction model to link excursions to a possible root cause. Furthermore, a KPI based on scanner metrology is defined that can be monitored continuously, and for every wafer, for detecting excursions with a similar root cause.

Metrology and inspection algorithms, no matter how robust, will only exhibit acceptable performance over a finite range of image variation. As our algorithms become more and more advanced, geared towards finding smaller and smaller defects with ever-increasing accuracy, tool matching/calibration has become essential for successful inspection across a large fleet of tools. We present a new calibration utility that is versatile enough to be used for a wide variety of inspection systems. It allows us to ensure that the key imaging parameters on each tool are within a defined range which guarantees that the images produced by various tools are sufficiently similar and that the algorithm will perform as qualified. This also simplifies recipe management/portability across the fleet, allowing recipes created on one calibrated tool to be used on any other calibrated tool. This work covers a variety of multidisciplinary material including the calibration tray concept/design, key imaging parameters, user interface layout/design, as well as a variety of computer vision algorithms used to extract and examine the different regions of the calibration tray.

SEM Image Denoising and Contour Image Estimation using Deep Learning 基于深度学习的SEM图像去噪与轮廓图像估计

The estimation of line and contour geometries from real SEM images is a challenging problem due to the corruption of such images by Poisson noise, edge effects, and other SEM artifacts. We attempt simultaneous contour edge image prediction and SEM image denoising using a deep convolutional neural network LineNet2. To capture a range of edge effects in real SEM images, we simulate a training dataset of rough line SEM images with random edge effect parameters. We train the LineNet2 network on this training dataset and randomly rotate the images during the training phase. The retrained LineNet2 shows the ability to denoise real SEM images of line and contour geometries. We measure the line edge roughness (LER) parameter in isolated and dense regions of rough line images through multiple LER methods. Our experiments also demonstrate that the network can learn to recognize contour edges just by rotating rough line images.
由于泊松噪声、边缘效应和其他SEM伪影的破坏,从真实的SEM图像中估计直线和轮廓几何形状是一个具有挑战性的问题。我们尝试使用深度卷积神经网络LineNet2同时进行轮廓边缘图像预测和扫描电镜图像去噪。为了捕获真实扫描电镜图像中的一系列边缘效应,我们模拟了一个带有随机边缘效应参数的粗糙线扫描电镜图像训练数据集。我们在这个训练数据集上训练LineNet2网络,并在训练阶段随机旋转图像。重新训练的LineNet2显示了对真实的直线和轮廓几何图像去噪的能力。通过多种线边缘粗糙度方法,对粗线图像的隔离区和密集区进行线边缘粗糙度参数的测量。我们的实验还表明,网络可以通过旋转粗糙的线图像来学习识别轮廓边缘。

We attempt simultaneous contour edge image prediction and SEM image denoising using a deep convolutional neural network LineNet2. To capture a range of edge effects in real SEM images, we simulate a training dataset of rough line SEM images with random edge effect parameters. We train the LineNet2 network on this training dataset and randomly rotate the images during the training phase. The retrained LineNet2 shows the ability to denoise real SEM images of line and contour geometries.
