摘要

In this article, we have derived a run-to-run (R2R) control design technique that integrates feedforward and feedback control on the etch process. The purpose is to minimize the effect of an oxygen flow disturbance during the resist trim on the polysilicon critical dimension (CD) after the main etch. The R2R controller manipulates the resist trim time based on feedforward measurements of the resist CD at the end of the lithography and feedback measurements from polysilicon CD at the end of the etch process. The purpose of the feedforward measurement is to adjust the resist trim time using a model of the relation between trim time, resist CD before the resist trim and polysilicon CD after the main etch. The purpose of the feedback measurement is to adjust this model to compensate for the oxygen flow disturbance during the resist trim. The resulting controller is called feedforward/feedback (FF/FB) controller. The FF/FB controller is tested using simulations and experiments conducted on an etch tool manufactured by Lam Research. The simulations and experimental results show that the FF/FB controller attenuates linear drift and shift in the polysilicon CD caused by the oxygen flow disturbance. Moreover, the results quantify the significant benefit of integrating feedforward and feedback control in addition to only using a feedforward control in minimizing the polysilicon CD deviations from the etch target.
