    摘要: A method for contact hole formation and inspection during integrated circuit fabrication is disclosed. The method includes defining tolerances for one or more contact hole formation processes, and then performing the formation processes to create at least one contact hole. After at least one of the formation processes is performed, a waveform is generated for the contact hole. A critical dimension (CD) and an edge width value are then generated for the contact hole from the waveform. The CD and the edge width value are then compared to the tolerances to detect and correct variations in the formation process. In a further aspect of the present invention, the edge width is compared to a predetermined limit to automatically detect contact holes having sloped sidewalls.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for profiling a structure in an integrated circuit to determine the structural dimensions. The system comprises a processor circuit that includes a processor electrically coupled to a local interface and a memory electrically coupled to the local interface, where the local interface comprises, for example, a data bus and associated control bus. The system further comprises a critical dimension scanning electron microscope having a signal output electrically coupled to the local interface and operating logic stored on the memory and executable by the processor.

    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication system and method are presented. A three dimensional multilayer integrated circuit fabrication method can include forming a first device layer and forming a second device layer on top of the first device layer with minimal detrimental heat transfer to the first layer by utilizing a controlled laser layer formation annealing process. A controlled laser crystallization process can be utilized and the controlled laser can include creating an amorphous layer; defining a crystallization area in the amorphous layer, where in the crystallization area is defined to promote single crystal growth (i.e. prevent multi-crystalline growth); and applying laser to the crystallization area, wherein the laser is applied in a manner that prevents undesired heat transfer to another layer.
