    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses related to the deposition of a protective layer selective to an interlayer dielectric layer so that the protective layer is formed onto a top portion associated with the interlayer dielectric layer. In some embodiments, a method comprises: forming an interlayer dielectric layer on a substrate; covering a trench region with a metal liner, wherein the trench region is situated above the substrate and formed within the interlayer dielectric layer; and depositing a protective layer selective to the interlayer dielectric layer so that the protective layer is formed onto a top portion associated with the interlayer dielectric layer. In various embodiments, the depositing the protective layer comprises: repeatedly depositing the protective layer via a multi-deposition sequence; or depositing a self-assembled monolayer onto the top portion.

    摘要: An overlay metrology system includes a multi-channel energy unit that selectively operates in a first mode to deliver first photons having a first wavelength to an object under test, and a second mode to deliver second photons to the object under test. The second photons have a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. The overlay metrology system further includes an electronic controller that selectively activates either the first mode or the second mode based at least in part on at least one characteristic of an object under test, and that generates the first protons or the second photons to detect at least one buried structure included in the object under test.
