    摘要: Systems and methods of imaging and repairing defects on and below the surface of an integrated circuit (IC) are described. The method may be used in areas as small as one micron in diameter, and may remove the topmost material in the small spot, repeating with various layers, until a desired depth is obtained. An energetic beam, such as an electron beam, is directed at a selected surface location. The surface has an added layer of a solid, fluid or gaseous reactive material, such as a directed stream of a fluorocarbon, and the energetic beam disassociates the reactive material in the region of the beam into radicals that chemically attack the surface. After the defect location is exposed, the method uses the energetic beam to etch undesired materials, and deposit various appropriate materials to fill gaps, and restore the IC to an operational condition.

    摘要: Methods and devices for selective etching in a semiconductor process are shown. Chemical species generated in a reaction chamber provide both a selective etching function and concurrently form a protective coating on other regions. An electron beam provides activation to selective chemical species. In one example, reactive species are generated from a halogen and carbon containing gas source. Addition of other gasses to the system can provide functions such as controlling a chemistry in a protective layer during a processing operation.

    摘要: A method of imaging and identifying materials, contamination, fabrication errors, and defects on and below the surface of an integrated circuit (IC) is described. The method may be used in areas smaller than one micron in diameter, and may remove IC layers, either selectively or non-selectively, until a desired depth is obtained. An energetic beam, such as an electron beam, is directed at a selected IC location. The IC has a layer of a solid, fluid or gaseous reactive material, such as a directed stream of a fluorocarbon, formed over the surface of the IC. The energetic beam disassociates the reactive material in or on the region into chemical radicals that chemically attack the surface. The surface may be examined as various layers are selectively removed in the controlled area spot etch, and SEM imaging may then be used to diagnose problems.

    摘要: A method of imaging and identifying materials on and below the surface of a structure is described. The method may be used in areas as small as one micron in diameter, and may remove a thin portion of the topmost material, repeating the analysis, until a desired depth is obtained. An energetic beam, such as an electron beam, is directed at a selected surface location. The surface has an added layer of a solid, fluid or gaseous reactive material, such as a directed stream of a fluorocarbon, and the energetic beam disassociates the reactive material in the region of the beam into radicals that chemically attack the surface. The reaction products from the radical attack on the surface are pumped away from the surface and analyzed using various methods, such as optical emission, infrared, atomic absorption, or Raman spectroscopy.

    摘要: A method that may be applied to imaging and identifying defects and contamination on the surface of an integrated circuit is described. An energetic beam, such as an electron beam, may be directed at a selected IC location having a layer of a solid, fluid, or gaseous reactive material formed over the surface. The energetic beam disassociates the reactive material in the region into chemical radicals that either chemically etch the surface preferentially, or deposit a thin layer of a conductive material over the local area around the energetic beam. The surface may be examined as various layers are selectively etched to decorate defects and/or as various layers are locally deposited in the area around the energetic beam. SEM imaging and other analytic methods may be used to identify the problem more easily.
