    摘要: A processing method and apparatus uses at least one electric field applicator (34) biased to produce a spatial-temporal electric field to affect a processing medium (26), suspended nano-objects (28) or the substrate (30) in processing, interacting with the dipole properties of the medium (26) or particles to construct structure on the substrate (30). The apparatus may include a magnetic field, an acoustic field, an optical force, or other generation device. The processing may affect selective localized layers on the substrate (30) or may control orientation of particles in the layers, control movement of dielectrophoretic particles or media, or cause suspended particles of different properties to follow different paths in the processing medium (26). Depositing or modifying a layer on the substrate (30) may be carried out. Further, the processing medium (26) and electrical bias may be selected to prepare at least one layer on the substrate (30) for bonding the substrate (30) to a second substrate, or to deposit carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a controlled orientation on the substrate.

    摘要: A process module for treating a dielectric film and, in particular, a process module for exposing, for example, a low dielectric constant (low-k) dielectric film to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is described. The process module includes a process chamber, a substrate holder coupled to the process chamber and configured to support a substrate, and a radiation source coupled to the process chamber and configured to expose the dielectric film to electromagnetic (EM) radiation. The radiation source includes a UV source, wherein the UV source has a UV lamp, and a reflector for directing reflected UV radiation from the UV lamp to the substrate. The reflector has a dichroic reflector, and a non-absorbing reflector disposed between the UV lamp and the substrate, and configured to reflect UV radiation from the UV lamp towards the dichroic reflector, wherein the non-absorbing reflector substantially prevents direct UV radiation from the UV lamp to the substrate.

    摘要: A method for material processing utilizing a material processing system to perform a process. The method performs a process (510), measures a scan of data (520), and transforms the data scan (530) into a signature (540) including at least one spatial component. The scan of data (530) can include a process performance parameter such as an etch rate, an etch selectivity, a deposition rate, a film property, etc. The signature (540) can be stored (550), and compared with either a previously acquired signature or with an ideal signature (560). If at least one spatial component substantially deviates from the reference spatial component, then a process fault has potentially occurred. If the cumulative deviation of all spatial components or a select group of components substantially deviates from a reference set of spatial components, then a process fault has potentially occurred.

    摘要: A method of monitoring a processing system for processing a substrate during the course of semiconductor manufacturing is described. The method comprises acquiring data from the processing system for a plurality of observations. It further comprises constructing a principal components analysis (PCA) model from the data, wherein a weighting factor is applied to at least one of the data variables in the acquired data. The PCA mode is utilized in conjunction with the acquisition of additional data, and at least one statistical quantity is determined for each additional observation. Upon setting a control limit for the processing system, the at least one statistical quantity is compared with the control limit for each additional observation. When, for example, the at least one statistical quantity exceeds the control limit, a fault for the processing system is detected.
