Guidelines for selecting multi-technology recipes in multilayer filmstack measurements

  • 1. Therma-Wave, 1250 Reliance Way, Fremont, California 94539 (United States)

Description

The conventional method for estimating the sensitivity of a given optical measurement for filmstack characterization is examined. A major limitation of this technique is that it overestimates the sensitivity for multiparameter film measurement. An alternative approach that provides guidelines for optimizing multi-technology optical metrology recipes is proposed, and examples with application to ONO and dual damascene copper stack measurement are given
