摘要

New device architectures and materials are being introduced to develop 10 and 7 nm node manufacturing processes. In addition, the increasing complexity of multiple patterning adds significant yield challenges. The critical metrology challenges for yield assurance include defect control, control of critical dimension and critical dimension uniformity, and pattern placement control. To support the industry in meeting those challenges SEMATECH continues to evaluate new disruptive metrology technologies that can meet the requirements for high volume manufacturing (HVM). High-speed massively parallel e-beam defect inspection has the potential to address the key gaps limiting today's patterned defect inspection in the fab; primarily, throughput and sensitivity to detect ultra-small critical defects. While SEMATECH targets patterned defect inspection first, the technology also has the potential to support the increasing number of hot spot inspection requirements related to critical dimension uniformity and pattern placement that come with self-aligned quadruple patterning. In addition to wafer applications, next generation mask inspection will benefit from a faster high resolution inspection technology. In late 2014 SEMATECH completed a review, system analysis, and proof of concept evaluation of multiple e-beam technologies for patterned wafer inspection. The selection of a champion technology was made and a core technology maturation phase started with the goal of enabling the eventual commercialization of an HVM system. This paper begins with a brief overview of the industry need and the program being developed to address it. Key technical topics pertaining to imaging performance and defect sensitivity are then examined. Performance data from early proof of concept systems will be shown. The capabilities in development to accurately access defect sensitivity using the core technology will be discussed, and initial results for two types of samples will be provided. Deve- opment towards the next generation of non-proprietary test samples will also be presented.
