    摘要: A semiconductor surface measurement system (100) is disclosed. In this system, a plurality of wafers (106), each having an exposed surface, are held by a wafer positioning system (104), which sequentially moves the wafers into a measurement zone. A wafer position detection system (124) detects the position of a selected wafer, and generates an output signal indicating the position of the selected wafer. A surface measurement apparatus (114 through 121, 130 through 142) measures a property of the exposed surface of the selected wafer (106) in response to the output signal of the wafer position detection system (124) when the selected wafer is in the measurement zone. The disclosed surface measurement system (100)may be used to gather real-time data concerning surface properties such as composition, roughness and epilayer thickness during multi-wafer semiconductor processing.

    摘要: A dual damascene process for low-k or ultra low-k dielectric such as organo-silicate glass (OSG). After the via (112) etch, a trench (121) is etched in the OSG layer (108) using a less-polymerizing fluorocarbon added to an etch chemistry comprising a fluorocarbon and low N2/Ar ratio. The low N2/Ar ratio controls ridge formation during the trench etch. The combination of a less-polymerizing fluorocarbon with a higher-polymerizing fluorocarbon achieves a high etch rate and defect-free conditions.

    摘要: A method of determining the thickness of a thickness of a first layer of material in a semiconductor device using a reflectometer, the first layer of material being disposed outwardly from a second layer of material, the first and second layer of material both including silicon. The method includes generating at least one predicted behavior curve associated with a depth profile of an interface between the first and second layer of material, the predicted behavior curve including at least one expected optical measurement, the depth profile associated with the interface being present at a particular theoretical depth. The method also includes emitting light onto a surface of the semiconductor device. The method further includes collecting at least one optical measurement from portions of the emitted light that are reflected by the semiconductor device. The method additionally includes comparing the at least one optical measurement to the predicted behavior curve and determining the approximate actual depth of the interface in response to the compared optical measurement.
