    摘要: Measurement data sets for optical metrology systems can be processed in parallel using Multiple Tool and Structure Analysis (MTSA). In an MTSA procedure, at least one parameter that is common to the data sets can be coupled as a global parameter. Setting this parameter as global allows a regression on each data set to contain fewer fitting parameters, making the process is less complex, requiring less processing capacity, and providing more accurate results. MTSA can analyze multiple structures measured on a single tool, or a single structure measured on separate tools. For a multiple tool recipe, a minimized regression solution can be applied back to each tool to determine whether the recipe is optimized. If the recipe does not provide accurate results for each tool, search parameters and/or spaces can be modified in an iterative manner until an optimized solution is obtained that provides acceptable solutions on each tool.

    摘要: Disclosed is an electrochemical etching system with localized etching capability. The system allows multiple different porous semiconductor regions to be formed on a single semiconductor wafer. Localized etching is achieved through the use of one or more stationary and/or movable computer-controlled inner containers operating within an outer container. The outer container holds the electrolyte solution and acts as an electrolyte supply source for the inner container(s). The inner container(s) limit the size of the etched region of the semiconductor wafer by confining the electric field. Additionally, the current amount passing through each inner container during the electrochemical etching process can be selectively adjusted to achieve a desired result within the etched region. Localized etching of sub-regions within each etched region can also be achieved through the use of different stationary and/or moveable electrode structures and shields within each inner container. Also disclosed are associated method embodiments.
