Reduction of Thermal Induced Pattern Loading and Device Sensitivity by Various Rapid Thermal Processing Models
Beyond 65nm node,pattern loading effect (PLE) in conventional RTP (front-side heating) has been emerged as a major yield killer.Different pattern and deposited film property strongly influence thermal absorption and emission at the integration stage of the spike anneal (e.g.,STI,poly,and nitride spacers) leadto significant temperature differences across each die.Several methods for reducing the temperature variation have been reported,such as layout modifications and the application of absorption layers.By using these methods,significant improvements can be obtained,but the limitation is layout flexibility and increasing extra cost.
