    摘要: A method and device detect for the presence of defects, namely micro-scratches, in the surface of a wafer. Light is projected onto a medium at the surface of the wafer, at an angle at which light is not reflected by another layer that may be located under the medium. Light reflected by the surface of the wafer is converted into an electrical signal but any light scattered by the surface is excluded as much as possible from contributing to the formation of the signal. The electric signal corresponds to the intensity of the light reflected from the surface of the wafer. As the light is scanned across the wafer, the values of the electric signal are compared to yield a determination of whether defects are present in the medium. Because the light projected onto the surface of the wafer will be scattered by defects such as micro-scratches, the wafer can be successfully monitored for the existence of such micro-scratches. In particular, defects including micro-scratches formed in the medium can be detected regardless of the structure underlying the medium, such as a pattern layer.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention include methods for measuring a semiconductor wafer which has been subjected to an etching process. Light is radiated at the semiconductor wafer. Light within a selected wavelength band reflected from the semiconductor wafer is measured to provide an output value. A ratio of the output value and a reference value is determined. The reference value may be based on light within the selected wavelength band reflected from a reference surface, such as a bare silicon reference surface. It is determined that the semiconductor wafer is under-etched if the determined ratio does not meet the reference value. A normalized optical impedance or a polarization ratio may be measured based on light within a selected wave length band reflected from the semiconductor wafer to provide the output value in various embodiments of the present invention. In further aspects of the present invention, a thickness of a remaining oxide layer is determined using an under-etch recipe when it is determined that a semiconductor wafer is under-etched and a thickness of a damaged/polymer layer may be determined using an over-etch recipe when it is determined that the semiconductor wafer is over-etched.

    摘要: A method of measuring the thickness of a thin layer, by which the thickness of a top layer formed on the surface of a wafer can be detected in real time, and an apparatus therefor. This method includes irradiating light onto a cell and obtaining luminance from reflected light, detecting the thickness of a thin layer in an oxide site which is adjacent to the cell, repeating the irradiating and detecting steps to obtain a plurality of luminance values from cells formed on the wafer and a plurality of thickness values of thin layers in oxide sites that are adjacent to the cells, and employing a thickness calculation formula for calculating the thickness of a top layer using the plurality of luminance values and plurality of thickness values obtained in the prior steps. The thickness of a thin layer is directly detected from the luminance of light reflected by the cell, so that it can be precisely detected in a non-destructive manner, thus making it possible to detect the thickness of a thin layer in real time during the manufacture of a semiconductor device.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for numerically analyzing a growth degree of grains grown on a surface of a semiconductor wafer, in which the growth degree of grains is automatically calculated and numerated through a computer by using an image file of the surface of the semiconductor wafer scanned by an SEM. A predetermined portion of a surface of the wafer is scanned using the SEM, and the scanned SEM image is simultaneously stored into a database. An automatic numerical program applies meshes to an analysis screen frame and selects an analysis area on a measured image. Thereafter, a smoothing process for reducing an influence of noise is performed on respective pixels designated by the meshes using an average value of image data of adjacent pixels. A standardization process is then performed, based on respective images in order to remove a brightness difference between the measured images. After comparing standardized image data values of the respective pixels with a predetermined threshold value, the number of pixels whose standardized image data value is greater than the threshold value is counted. The growth degree of grains on the surface of the wafer is calculated by numerating a ratio of the counted number with respect to a total number of the pixels contained within the analysis target image.
