Model-Based Temperature/CD Tuning of Multi-Zone Heated Plates

Driven by ever-increasing requirements on improved wafer temperature uniformity for smaller features on the wafer, equipment manufacturers are developing heated plates (or chucks) with more and more actuator zones to achieve finer resolution of the actuated heat. From...

Rapid In-Line Detection of Macro Defects in Semiconductor Manufacturing

The manufacturing of Integrated Circuits (ICs) on semiconductor wafers involves hundreds of complex and expensive process steps. Defects can occur during any of several steps such as etch, resist removal, particle contamination, incomplete process, process variations,...
