The research described in this tutorial paper involves an effort for physical modeling and model-based sensing and control of CMP systems. A dynamic model of a rotational CMP process is developed, as well as simulation software. This dynamic model is used for...

A reactor-scale model incorporating the principal physical processes involved in RF diode sputtering has been developed and then integrated into a detailed steady-state input-output model of the growth of copper films. The model links critical aspects of the process...

Radio frequency (RF) diode sputtering deposition is a widely used process for depositing GMR thin films for multilayers, spin valves, spin-dependent tunneling (SDT) devices, etc. However, the thin films thus produced often show significant variation in GMR properties...
