Electron Radiation Monitoring System To Prevent Gold Spitting And Resist Cross-Linking During Evaporation

View page
US Patent:
20110193576, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Jul 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/831855
Inventors:
Kezia Cheng - Lowell MA, US
International Classification:
G01R 27/08
US Classification:
324693
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for in-situ measurement of impurities on metal slugs utilized in electron-beam metal evaporation/deposition systems, and for increasing the production yield of a semiconductor manufacturing processes utilizing electron-beam metal evaporation/deposition systems. A voltage and/or a current level on an electrode disposed in a deposition chamber of an electron-beam metal evaporation/deposition system is monitored and used to measure contamination of the metal slug. Should the voltage or current reach a certain level, to the deposition is completed and the system is inspected for contamination.

Systems And Methods For Improving Front-Side Process Uniformity By Back-Side Metallization

View page
US Patent:
20130143411, Jun 6, 2013
Filed:
Nov 15, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/678243
Inventors:
Kezia Cheng - Lowell MA, US
Assignee:
SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
H01L 21/3065
H01L 21/30
H01L 21/67
US Classification:
438710, 1563451, 118723 R, 438758
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for improving front-side process uniformity by back-side metallization. In some implementations, a metal layer can be formed on the back side of a semiconductor wafer prior to certain process steps such as plasma-based processes. Presence of such a back-side metal layer reduces variations in, for example, thickness of a deposited and/or etched layer resulting from the plasma-based processes. Such reduction in thickness variations can result from reduced variation in radio-frequency (RF) coupling during the plasma-based processes. Various examples of wafer types, back-side metal layer configurations, and plasma-based processes are disclosed.

Feb 22, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/774228
Inventors:
Kezia Cheng - Lowell MA, US
Assignee:
SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
H01L 23/532
H01L 21/768
US Classification:
