MF172700 - SEMI MF1727 - Practice for Detection of Oxidation Induced D

Description

NOTICE: This Document was reapproved with minor editorial changes.   Defects induced by thermal processing of silicon wafers may adversely influence device performance and yield.   These defects are influenced directly by contamination, ambient atmosphere, temperature, time at temperature, and rate of change of temperature to which the specimens are subjected. Conditions vary significantly among device manufacturing technologies. The thermal cycling procedures of this Practice are intended to simulate basic device processing technologies. Oxidation cycles other than specified herein, or multiple oxidation cycles, may sometimes more accurately simulate device-processing procedures. The results obtained may differ significantly from those obtained with the specified oxidation cycles.   The geometry of some patterns revealed by this Practice suggests that they are related to the crystal growth process while others seem related to surface preparation or thermal cycling conditions.   This Practice is suitable

Defects induced by thermal processing of silicon wafers may adversely influence device performance and yield.

 

These defects are influenced directly by contamination, ambient atmosphere, temperature, time at temperature, and rate of change of temperature to which the specimens are subjected. Conditions vary significantly among device manufacturing technologies. The thermal cycling procedures of this Practice are intended to simulate basic device processing technologies. Oxidation cycles other than specified herein, or multiple oxidation cycles, may sometimes more accurately simulate device-processing procedures. The results obtained may differ significantly from those obtained with the specified oxidation cycles.

 

The geometry of some patterns revealed by this Practice suggests that they are related to the crystal growth process while others seem related to surface preparation or thermal cycling conditions.

 

This Practice is suitable for acceptance testing when used with referenced practices and methods.
