Along with the evolution of 65 nm and 45 nm devices, the chemical solutions conventionally used in RCA cleaning are requiring greater and greater low-concentration control. The HF-960M uses sen-sors that offer outstanding corro-sion resistance for high-precision, high-speed measurement of low concentrations of hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid and ammonia, and is thus perfect for single-bath and wafer cleaning.

Wet Process Thin Film Control / Analysis

Low ConcentrationHF/HCL/NH3 MonitorHF-960M

This monitor has a 2048Ch CCD detection element that can simul-taneously measure a wide range of wavelengths (200 - 800 nm) with a minimum retrieval time of 20 msec and a maximum resolu-tion of 2 nm. The use of a pro-grammable endpoint algorithm with a broad range of application makes it possible to control end-points that cannot be detected with conventional systems. Ad-vanced analysis software is in-cluded as a standard item.

Etching End-point MonitorEV-140C

As part of the final process for cleaning silicon wafers, ever-stricter monitoring of the purity of the ultra-pure water used in the final rinse process is being demanded. The HE-480R has a built-in microprocessor and measures ultra-pure water at high precision during that process.

Resistivity MeterHE-480R

From the consideration of reduc-ing costs and reducing the burden on the environment through chemical-less processes, the use of ozone water is ex-pected to be more and more ef-fective. The HZ-960 measures ozone water concentrations and supports process controls. Two types of detectors are available, as sampling type and inline type, a selectable as appropriate to the equipment environment.

Dissolved Ozone MonitorHZ-960

IPA (IsoPropyl Alcohol) is widely used in the drying processes re-quired for effective wet cleaning during semiconductor manufac-turing. The IPA gas concentra-tion monitor can be combined with a mass flow controller or vaporizer, and is perfect for use in combination with a vaporizer or bubbler as a secondary gas concentration monitor.

The PR-PD2HR covers patterns for which a defect inspection system would not previously have even been thought necessary. This allows the usage frequency of the defect inspection system to be decreased and enables cost reductions and increases in detection speed to be targeted. The high S/N ratio likewise facilitates the measurement of even comparatively fine patterns, with a wide range of applications possible. It is also possible to mask and measure individual areas on a pattern surface. In addition, the PR-PD2HR demonstrates exceptional ability in the inspection of clear areas, such as those close to walls in pellicle frames.

The RP-1 automatic particle blower system enables particles to be removed. The system does not require an operator, which helps it to prevent the various errors that can occur during manual operation. It also contributes to improved efficiency with its ability to automatically remove particles while performing inspection.

Following the introduction of the RP-1 automatic particle blower system, when there are no pellicles, performing blow after each inspection run enables the removal of particles. This allows the number of cleaning cycles to be reduced and the mask life to be extended.

The PR-PD2 and PR-PD3 are able to handle all the different sizes and thicknesses for reticles/masks and also bare wafers, plus they are compatible with the stepper cases available from each manufacturer. Their broad range of measuring sensitivities also allows them to meet a wide variety of application requirements.

The PR-PD5 is a desktop model with a compact design that also allows it to be incorporated with another system. This feature plus the PR-PD5's low cost means the introduction of a particle detection system is now easier than ever before. Production lines that previously relied on visual inspection can also be automated, allowing inspection records to be maintained and enabling numeric control.

The compact and low-cost PR-PD5 is an easy-to-use system that facilitates straightfor-ward measurement. In addition to being optimal for specialized small-format devices such as 2- to 4-inch bare wafers, the PR-PD5 is able to perform measurement of blank masks. If holders are used, it is also possible to measure film shapes and various other flat surfaces. Please contact your HORIBA representative regarding this feature.

The PR-PD5 has been designed so that it can be integrated with any other system as a space-saving measure. Installing the PR-PD5 to the conveyor, or the reticle stocker, allows the performance of simultaneous inspection, while combining it with the cleaning device enables inspection during the cleaning process. These and other possible configura-tions mean that inspection can be completed within the main system.

The CG-1000 uses the CRDS method to provide ultra-sensitive, real-time (every 5 sec.) measurement of trace ammonia gas at 0.1 ppb. This system offers effective control of trace ammonia gas, which has been identified as one of the causes of hazing.

Magnification:Any 4-point setting can be made between approx. x220 and x2200

The PR-PD3 uses the laser scattering method to detect particles. When a laser beam is directed at the microcontaminant, the beam scatters. The particle is detected by measuring the strength of this scattering. The entire inspection surface is scanned by the laser beam using a galvanometer mirror. Although the pattern on the reticle and mask also causes the laser beam to scatter, since the polarization characteristics of the particles and pattern differ, the PR-PD3 is able to distinguish these by using a polarizing element inserted into the optical system. Taking advantage of the fact that the particle and pattern signals differ, HORIBA developed a unique low-pass filter to increase the ability to distinguish between the two. Furthermore, the well-proven He-Ne laser (633 nm) is used because of its stable operation. These technical improvements make the PR-PD3 able to handle a wide range of masks, from the cutting edge to the multi-purpose.

Along with patterns with attached pellicles, particle inspection can also be performed on surfaces without pellicles. Similarly, particle measurement can also be conducted on individual pellicles before they are applied (option).

Measurement results are mapped according to the size of the particles and can be displayed in real-time during the detection operation using a matrix. These inspection results are saved to a database server, from where DMS (data management software) can be used to perform data management and output various types of report, etc. Connecting the server to a LAN also enables bidirectional communication, facilitating shared use of the database by other system components.

Handling of patterns with/without pellicles

If holders or cases are used for reticles and masks, a wide range of sizes from 3.5- to 9-inch can be accommodated. Likewise, bare wafers up to 5-inch can be handled using holders. This also provides flexibility in processing different thicknesses.Note: Consult your HORIBA representative regarding special sizes.

Compatibility with all types of sample size and thickness

A single objective microscope lens is installed for inspecting the upper surfaces of reticles and masks, while four are mounted for the lower surfaces. A function that enables direct observation of particles on the upper and lower surfaces is also available. While the magnification for the upper surfaces is fixed at x440, the view for the lower surfaces can be switched between x220, x440, x880, and x2200.

Incorporation of an upper/lowersurface particle review function

As well as the stepper cases available from each manufacturer, SMIF-PODs can also be processed. This enables various combinations of stepper case sizes from different manufacturers to be used.

Compatibility with all types of stepper case (excluding PR-PD5)

Ability to jointly access a database

Microscopes: x440 for the upper surface;Up to x2200 for the lower surface

A function for measuring pellicle permeability enables particle inspection to be conducted at an appropriate sensitivity. By switching the light path, measurement can be performed within the pellicle frame without creating shadowed areas, which also allows regular inspections to be run after pellicles have been applied.

Detection capabilities

Detection of particles on patterns with attached pellicles

The introduction of a proprietary signal processing system enables false detections to be avoided. A pattern discrimination function that uses a low-pass filter also helps to reduce pseudo-detections to a minimum. This function represents an effective countermeasure against false detections even on dense patterns.

Incorporation of functions for preventing false detections

Outstanding Detection Capabilities Plus a Full Range of FunctionsThe multi-purpose PD Series delivers flexible, top-level performance.

■PR-PD3 functions for preventing false detectionsThe PR-PD3 is equipped with both a polarized differential function for coarse patterns and a low-pass difference function for fine patterns. Utilizing these two methods, erroneous detection can be effectively countered in OPC patterns, etc., that possess both characteristics.
