Title
TEST METHODS FOR DETERMINING CAPTURE RATE AND FALSE COUNT RATE FOR SURFACE SCANNING INSPECTION SYSTEMS BY THE OVERLAY METHOD

Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International

Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2009

Scope:

These test methods address calculating and reporting SSIS capture rate from measurements of either PSL depositions or other LLSs on wafers in LSE units.

Two test methods are covered:

Static Method — In which the test is conducted under level 1 variability conditions (without removing the wafer from the stage of the SSIS between scans).

Dynamic Method — In which the test is conducted under level 2 variability conditions (with removing the wafer from and reloading it to the stage of the SSIS between scans).

Specific wafer surfaces (by wafer product, type of film or type of polish) that may affect the measured capture rate and false count rate of an SSIS are to be agreed upon between suppliers and customers.

NOTICE: This standard does not purport to address safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the users of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory or other limitations prior to use.

Purpose

SEMI M52 defines capture rate (CR) requirements to be met by a scanning surface inspection system (SSIS) to be used for the 130 nm through 45 nm technology generations.

These test methods cover determination of the CR, the false count rate (FCR) and the cumulative false count rate (CFCR) of an SSIS as a function of latex sphere equivalent (LSE) size of localized light scatterers (LLSs).

NOTE 1: In the context of this document the term "size" refers to the LSE diameter of the LLS.
