20 The Big Questions in Fault Management Does something appear wrong? Detect a possible fault from a sensor signal (equipment, process, or wafer state) Is something wrong? Use multi-sensor integration to verify a system fault I.e., confirm that the sensor isn t broken Identify the system parameter which the sensors indicate is wrong Detection Classification What is wrong? Determine what the system problem is by inference from sensor indicators I.e., the cause of the problem What is going to go wrong, and when? Predict further failure events, timing, and consequences Prognosis What should I do about it, and when? Generate action plan optimized for factory operations and product performance Response 11/20/00 20

28 Conclusions Mass spectrometry and other chemical sensors provide significant capability toward process metrology and fault detection prime issues: sensor stability, uniformity measurement Advanced process control means both course correction to maintain process target centering and yield fault management to optimize equipment utilization and manufacturing cost Achieving the promise of advanced process control requires other important elements as well, including multi-sensor integration (equipment, process, and wafer state) dynamic simulation, including sensor-in-tool models robust course correction algorithms fault classification and prognosis strategies 11/20/00 28

30 Building a Reference Database for Fault Detection and Classification Actual equipment fault experiences provide valuable but limited database Intentionally induced faults could significantly enhance the value of a fault database Multiple fault scenarios are known to be important Experiments can be constructed to introduce or mimic those faults Physically-based simulations of faults could provide insight and additional database elements 11/20/00 30
31 Steps: 1). Thickness was measured at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4cm from the center. 2). Thickness at the edge (5 cm) was extrapolated form the first five points. 3). The average thickness in each ring is the average between the thickness at the ID and that at the OD. e 4). The volume of the film in each ring is the product of the average thickness and d the surface area of the ring. 5). The average thickness across the whole wafer equals the sum of the film volumes in each ring divided by the total surface area. Contribution of each ring to the total surface area: Ring a: 4% Ring b: 12% Ring c: 20% Ring d: 28% Ring e: 36% Calculation of Average Film Thickness Average film thickness across the wafer: d = 4d a 0.12d b 0.20d c 0.28d d 0.36d e Validate mass spec thickness metrology under nonuniform deposition process conditions c b a 4 Wafer cm 11/20/00 31
32 The potential of mass spectrometry and other chemical sensing approaches to determine dynamic chemical constituency through a reactive semiconductor process cycle holds substantial promise for process control and attendant manufacturing benefits. Applications to mainline VLSI processes have already demonstrated value in supplying metrology information (rates, deposition thickness, etch endpointing) and in revealing process mechanisms and equipment subtleties, information which significantly complements the existing raison-d'etre for RGA's in manufacturing, namely, equipment qualification and debugging. However, the benefits of advanced process control will require other elements. Use of sensor signals for metrology depends on having good sensor models, which in turn often means good models for the sensor IN the tool. Real-time or run-to-run control necessitates either good models or robust algorithms which are less sensitive to model or data error. Fault management - i.e., fault classification and prognosis as well as detection - requires multi-sensor integration including equipment state signals for decision support to minimize down-time, along with dynamic models for interpreting system behavior. This talk will provide examples for mass spec based metrology and process insight, along with an outline of how sensor information might lead to beneficial control and fault management responses. 11/20/00 32
