    摘要: An apparatus and method for processing an integrated circuit employing optical interference fringes. During processing, one or more wavelength lights are directed on the integrated circuit and based upon the detection of interference fringes and characteristics of the same, further processing may be controlled. One implementation involves charged particle beam processing of an integrated circuit as function of detection and/or characteristics of interference fringes. A charged particle beam trench milling operation is performed in or on the substrate of an integrated circuit. Light is directed on the floor of the trench. Interference fringes may be formed from the constructive or destructive interference between the light reflected from the floor and the light from the circuit structures. Resulting fringes will be a function, in part, of the thickness and/or profile of the trench floor. Milling may be controlled as a function of the detected fringe patterns.

During processing, light is directed on the integrated circuit and based upon the detection of interference fringes, further processing may be controlled. One implementation involves charged particle beam processing of an integrated circuit as function of detection of interference fringes. A charged particle beam trench milling operation is performed in or on the substrate of an integrated circuit. Light is directed on the floor of the trench. When the floor approaches the underlying circuit structures, some light is reflected from the floor of the trench and some light penetrates the substrate and is reflected off the underlying circuit structures. Interference fringes may be formed from the constructive or destructive interference between the light reflected from the floor and the light from the circuit structures. Processing may be controlled as function of the detection of interference fringes.

    摘要: Apparatus and processes are disclosed for milling copper adjacent to organic low-k dielectric on a substrate by directing a charged-particle beam at a portion of the copper and exposing the copper to a precursor sufficient to enhance removal of the copper relative to removal of the dielectric, wherein the precursor contains an oxidizing agent, has a high sticking coefficient and a long residence time on the copper, contains atoms of at least one of carbon and silicon in amount sufficient to stop oxidation of the dielectric, and contains no atoms of chlorine, bromine or iodine. In one embodiment, the precursor comprises at least one of the group consisting of NitroEthanol, NitroEthane, NitroPropane, NitroMethane, compounds based on silazane such as HexaMethylCycloTriSilazane, and compounds based on siloxane such as Octa-Methyl-Cyclo-Tetra-Siloxane. Products of the processes are also disclosed.

    摘要: A plurality of images, including a first image and a second image having a higher resolution than the first image, are aligned by generating an oversampled cross correlation image that corresponds to relative displacements of the first and second images, and, based on the oversampled cross correlation image, determining an offset value that corresponds to a misalignment of the first and second images. The first and second images are aligned to a precision greater than the resolution of the first image, based on the determined offset value. Enhanced results are achieved by performing another iteration of generating an oversampled cross correlation image and determining an offset value for the first and second images. Generating the oversampled cross correlation image may involve generating a cross correlation image that corresponds to relative displacements of the first and second images, and oversampling the cross correlation image to generate the oversampled cross correlation image.
