    摘要: A method of monitoring uniformity of a wafer is provided. A wafer parameter is selected. Manufacturing data is collected. The manufacturing data includes measurements of the selected wafer parameter. An average offset profile of the wafer parameter for a first and second wafer is determined using the manufacturing data. The first and second wafer are associated with a product type and were processed by a processing tool. An offset profile for a third wafer is predicted for a wafer using the average offset profile. The third wafer is associated with the product type and was processed by the processing tool.

    摘要: A method of forming a metal feature in a low-k dielectric layer is provided. The method includes forming an opening in a low-k dielectric layer, forming a metal layer having a substantially planar surface over the low-k dielectric layer using spin-on method, and stress free polishing the metal layer. Preferably, the metal layer comprises copper or copper alloys. The metal layer preferably includes a first sub layer having a substantially non-planar surface and a second sub layer having a substantially planar surface on the first sub layer.

    摘要: A planarizing method for forming a patterned planarized aperture fill layer within an aperture employs a planarizing stop layer formed of a reductant based material, such as but not limited to a hydrogenated silicon nitride material. The reductant based material provides the planarizing stop layer with enhanced planarizing stop properties. The method is particularly useful within the context of CMP planarizing methods.
