    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a substrate metrology system. The substrate metrology system includes a warpage measurement module configured to determine one or more substrate warpage parameters of a substrate. The substrate includes a plurality of conductive interconnect layers within a dielectric structure over a semiconductor substrate. A metrology module is located physically downstream of the warpage measurement module and has an optical element configured to measure one or more dimensions of the substrate. The metrology module is configured to place the optical element at a plurality of different initial positions, which are directly over a plurality of different locations on the substrate, based upon the one or more substrate warpage parameters. A substrate transport system is configured to transfer the substrate from a first position within the warpage measurement module to a non-overlapping second position within the metrology module.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of bump metrology The method is performed by forming a through-substrate-via within a substrate, forming a plurality of metal interconnect layers within a dielectric structure over the substrate, and forming a bump on the plurality of metal interconnect layers. One or more substrate warpage parameters of the substrate are measured and an initial position of a lens within a substrate metrology module is calculated based upon the one or more substrate warpage parameters. The lens is then moved to the initial position, and a height and a width of the bump are measured using the substrate metrology module after moving the lens to the initial position.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for performing a plasma enhanced ALD (PEALD) process that provides for improved step coverage. The process introduces a precursor gas into a processing chamber comprising a semiconductor workpiece. The first gas is ionized to form a plurality of ionized precursor molecules. A bias voltage is subsequently applied to the workpiece. The bias voltage attracts the ionized precursor molecules to the workpiece, so as to provide anisotropic coverage of the workpiece with the precursor gas. A reactant gas is introduced into the processing chamber. A plasma is subsequently ignited from the reactant gas, causing the reactant gas to react with the ionized precursor molecules that have been deposited onto the substrate to form a deposited layer on the workpiece.

    Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a substrate metrology system. The substrate metrology system includes a substrate warpage measurement module configured to determine one or more substrate warpage parameters of a substrate by taking a plurality of separate measurements at a plurality of different positions over a substrate. The substrate has a plurality of conductive interconnect layers within a dielectric structure over a semiconductor substrate and a conductive bump disposed over the dielectric structure and configured to be coupled to an additional substrate of a multi-dimensional chip. A substrate metrology module has an optical component and is configured to measure one or more dimensions of the conductive bump. A position control element is configured to move the optical component. A feed-forward path is coupled between an output of the substrate warpage measurement module and an input of the position control element.
