Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good old Gutenberg could not have imagined that his revolutionary printing concept which so greatly contributed to dissemination of knowledge and thus today 's wealth, would have been a source of inspiration five hundred years later. Now, it seems intuitive that a simple way to produce a large number of replicates is using a mold to emboss pattern you need, but at the nanoscale nothing is simple: the devil is in the detail. And this book is about the "devil". In the following 17 chapters, the authors-all of them well recognized and active actors in this emerging field-describe the state-of-the-art, today 's technological bottlenecks and the prospects for micro-contact printing and nanoimprint lithography. Many results of this book originate from projects funded by the European Com mission through its "Nanotechnology Information Devices" (NID) initiative. NID was launched with the objective to develop nanoscale devices for the time when the red brick scenario of the ITRS roadmap would be reached. It became soon clear however, that there was no point to investigate only alternative devices to CMOS, but what was really needed was an integrated approach that took into account more facets of this difficult undertaking. Technologically speaking , this meant to have a coherent strategy to develop novel devices, nanofabrication tools and circuit & system architectures at the same time.

Download or read book Managing Lithographic Variations in Design Reliability and Test Using Statistical Techniques written by Aswin Sreedhar and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of today's high performance computing engines and hand-held mobile devices are products of aggressive CMOS scaling. Technology scaling in semiconductor industry is mainly driven by corresponding improvements in optical lithography technology. Photolithography, the art used to create patterns on the wafer is at the heart of the semiconductor manufacturing process. Lately, improvements in optical technology have been difficult and slow. The transition to deep ultra-violet (DUV) light source (193nm) required changes in lens materials, mask blanks, light source and photoresist. It took more than ten years to develop a stable chemically amplified resist (CAR) for DUV. Consequently, as the industry moves towards manufacturing end-of-the-roadmap CMOS devices, lithography is still based on 193nm light source to print critical dimensions of 45nm, 32nm and likely 22nm. Sub-wavelength lithography creates a number of printability issues. The printed patterns are highly sensitive to topographic changes due to metal planarization, overlay errors, focus and dose variations, random particle defects to name a few. Design for Manufacturability methodologies came into being to help analyze and mitigate manufacturing impacts on the design. Although techniques such as Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET) which involve optical proximity correction (OPC), phase shift masking (PSM), off-axis illumination (OAI) have been used to greatly improve the printability and better the manufacturing process window, they cannot perfectly compensate for these lithographic deficiencies. DFM methods were primarily devised to predict and correct systematic patterning problems that arise during manufacturing. Apart from systematic errors, random manufacturing variations may occur during photolithography. This is where a statistical approach to modeling of error behavior and its impact on different design parameters may prove to be effective. By incorporating statistical analysis to parameter variation, an effective, non-conservative design can be obtained. IC manufacturing yield is the foremost measure that determines the profitability of a given semiconductor manufacturing process. Thus early prediction of yield detractors is an important step in the design process. Such predictions are based on models, which in turn are rooted in manufacturing process. Success of yield prediction is based on quality of models. The models must capture physical phenomena and yet be efficient for computation. In this work, we present a lithography-based yield model that is computationally practical for use in the design process. The work also provides a methodology to perform statistical lithography rules check to identify hot spots in the design that can contribute to yield loss. Yield recovery methods aimed at minimally modifying the design ultimately produce more printable masks. Apart from IC manufacturing yield, ICs today are vulnerable to various reliability failures including electromigration (EM), negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), hot carrier injection (HCI) and electro-static discharge (ESD). Though such reliability issues have been examined since the beginning of CMOS, manufacturability impacts have created a renewed interest in analyzing them. In this dissertation, we introduce the concept of Design for reliable manufacturability (DFRM) to consider the effect of linewidth changes, gate oxide thickness variations and other manufacturing artifacts. A novel Litho-aware EM calibration and analysis has bee shown in this work. Results indicate that there is a significant difference in EM estimation when litho-predicted layouts are considered during analysis. DFM has always looked at linewidth and material thickness variation as detractors to the design. However, such variations are inevitable. In this work we also consider modeling sensitivity to variations to improve test pattern quality. Test structures sprinkled all over the wafer encounter varying process fluctuations. This can be harnessed to predict the current lithographic process corner which will later be used to choose the test pattern set that results in maximum fault coverage. In summary, the objective of this dissertation is to consider the impact of sub-wavelength lithography on printability and the overall impact on circuit reliability and manufacturing test development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook gives readers a close look at the entire technology of printing very high resolution and high density integrated circuit (IC) patterns into thin resist process transfer coatings-- including optical lithography, electron beam, ion beam, and x-ray lithography. The book's main theme is the special printing process needed to achieve volume high density IC chip production, especially in the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) industry. The book leads off with a comparison of various lithography methods, covering the three major patterning parameters of line/space, resolution, line edge and pattern feature dimension control. The book's explanation of resist and resist process equipment technology may well be the first practical description of the relationship between the resist process and equipment parameters. The basics of resist technology are completely covered -- including an entire chapter on resist process defectivity and the potential yield limiting effect on device production. Each alternative lithographic technique and testing method is considered and evaluated: basic metrology including optical, scanning-electron-microscope (SEM) techniques and electrical test devices, along with explanations of actual printing tools and their design, construction and performance. The editor devotes an entire chapter to today's sophisticated, complex electron-beam printers, and to the emerging x-ray printing technology now used in high-density CMOS devices. Energetic ion particle printing is a controllable, steerable technology that does not rely on resist, and occupies a final section of the handbook.
