    摘要: A method for simulating changes to the topography of a workpiece, e.g. a semiconductor wafer, as it undergoes process steps. The method may be used to simulated isotropic or anisotropic deposition or etch process steps. A solids modeling system is used to define and deform material solids. Material solids represent the different materials on a workpiece. A plurality of trajectory solids are constructed to cause the deformation of the material solids. Deformation of a material solid is accomplished through the performance of boolean operations between the material solid and one or more trajectory solids. A characteristic of a trajectory solid, e.g. a radius or height, relates to the rate of etch or deposition for the particular process step. The method of construction of trajectory solids in the present invention enables simulation of spatially varying process steps, avoids the creation of invalid self-intersecting surfaces and minimizes the creation of small edges that lead to irregular surfaces.

    摘要: In a three-dimensional (3-D) topography simulator, a method for removing sources of particle flux because of neighboring topology, for a point on a workpiece undergoing a deposition or etch process step. The method is practiced in a Generalized Solids Modeling system that utilizes a boundary representation model for representing a workpiece as one or more material object solids. For any given point on the 3-D structure, the neighboring topography forms a complex shadowing mask with respect to sources of particle flux, thus making analytical determination of visible sources of incoming particle flux difficult. The method is comprised generally of the steps of: defining a numerical mesh in a space over a surface of the workpiece; specifying an intensity of incident flux for each mesh point, identifying a set of mesh points defining a visible range of mesh points with respect to a particular target point and identifying mesh points in said set of mesh points that are obscured by neighboring topology.

    摘要: A method for accurately calculating the movement of a vertex in a three-dimensional (3-D) topography simulator. The method is particularly suited for calculating vertex movement for cases in which etch/deposition rate depends on the angle between the surface normal and the vertical direction. A workpiece is represented as a collection of material solids. Each of the material solids has a boundary model representation. The method of the present invention is comprised primarily of the steps of: advancing edges and surface planes adjacent to the vertex, creating a set of 2-D solutions by clipping with pairs of adjacent surface planes; creating a set of combined 2-D solutions by clipping invalid sections of combined 2-D solutions; construct an arbitrary vertical plane that intersects the surface at the vertex point; constructing vertex trajectories for the vertex to be moved; and clipping constructed vertex trajectories at intersections of created surface and the constructed vertical plane.

    摘要: Substantially sharp corners for optical waveguides in integrated optical devices, photonic crystal devices, or for micro-devices, can be fabricated. Non-sharp corners such as rounded corners, are first formed using lithographic patterning and vertical etching. Next, isotropic etching is used to sharpen the rounded corners. A monitor can be used to determine if the rounded corners have been sufficiently sharpened by the isotropic etching.
