    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing inspection and metrology operations on metallization processes such as on back-end-of-line (BEOL) metallization thickness and step coverage are disclosed. Specific examples include measurements of thickness and uniformity of barrier layers, including tantalum for example, and seed layers, including copper for example, in Damascene, including dual-Damascene, trenches during the interconnect fabrication steps of integrated circuit production. The invention also relates to the detection and measurement of void formation during and after copper electroplating. The invention utilizes x-ray fluorescence to measure the absolute thicknesses and the thickness uniformity of the barrier layers in the trenches, the copper seed layers for electroplating, and the final copper interconnects.

    Abstract: An achromatic Fresnel optic that combines a Fresnel zone plate and a refractive Fresnel lens. The zone plate provides high resolution for imaging and focusing, while the refractive lens takes advantage of the refraction index change properties of appropriate elements near absorption edges to recombine the electromagnetic radiation of different energies dispersed by the zone plate. This compound lens effectively solves the high chromatic aberration problem of zone plates. The AFO has a wide range of potential applications in lithography, microimaging with various contrast mechanisms and measurement techniques.

    Abstract: A charge pump circuit for generating an output voltage is described. Charge pump circuits typically have two branches. As the clocks supplying the branches of a charge pump circuit alternate, the output of each branch will alternately provide an output voltage, which are then combined to form the pump output. The techniques described here allow charge to be transferred between the two branches, so that as the capacitor of one branch discharges, it is used to charge up the capacitor in the other branch. An exemplary embodiment using a voltage doubler-type of circuit, with the charge transfer between the branches accomplished using a switch controller by a boosted version of the clock signal, which is provided by a one-sided voltage doubler
