    摘要: A method of refining a virtual profile library includes obtaining a reference signal measured off a reference structure on a semiconductor wafer with a metrology device. A best match is selected of the reference signal in a virtual profile data space. The virtual profile data space has data points with specified accuracy values. The data points represent virtual profile parameters and associated virtual profile signals. The virtual profile parameters characterize the profile of an integrated circuit structure. The best match being a data point of the profile data space with a signal closest to the reference signal. Refined virtual profile parameters are determined corresponding to the reference signal based on the virtual profile parameters of the selected virtual profile signal using a refinement procedure.

    摘要: The invention provides a systems and methods for creating Double Pattern (DP) structures on a patterned wafer in real-time using Dual Pattern Contact-Etch (DPCE) processing sequences and associated Contact-Etch-Multi-Input/Multi-Output (CE-MIMO) models. The DPCE processing sequences can include one or more contact-etch procedures, one or more measurement procedures, one or more contact-etch modeling procedures, and one or more contact-etch verification procedures. The CE-MIMO model uses dynamically interacting behavioral modeling between multiple layers and/or multiple contact-etch procedures. The multiple layers and/or the multiple contact-etch procedures can be associated with the creation of lines, trenches, vias, spacers, contacts, and gate structures that can be created during Double Patterning (DP) procedures.

    摘要: A processing system and method for chemical oxide removal (COR) is presented, wherein the processing system comprises a first treatment chamber and a second treatment chamber, wherein the first and second treatment chambers are coupled to one another. The first treatment chamber comprises a chemical treatment chamber that provides a temperature controlled chamber, and an independently temperature controlled substrate holder for supporting a substrate for chemical treatment. The substrate is exposed to a gaseous chemistry, such as HF/NH3, under controlled conditions including surface temperature and gas pressure. The second treatment chamber comprises a heat treatment chamber that provides a temperature controlled chamber, thermally insulated from the chemical treatment chamber. The heat treatment chamber provides a substrate holder for controlling the temperature of the substrate to thermally process the chemically treated surfaces on the substrate.
