    Abstract: A deposition system provides a feature that may reduce costs of the sputtering process by increasing a target change interval. The deposition system provides an array of magnet members which generate a magnetic field and redirect the magnetic field based on target thickness measurement data. To adjust or redirect the magnetic field, at least one of the magnet members in the array tilts to focus on an area of the target where more target material remains than other areas. As a result, more ion, e.g., argon ion bombardment occurs on the area, creating more uniform erosion on the target surface.

    Abstract: Methods and system for detecting hotspots in semiconductor wafer are provided. At least one semiconductor wafer is inspected to detect a plurality of hotspots of each die in the semiconductor wafer, wherein each of the hotspots has defect coordinates in a layout of the die. The hotspots of the dies are stacked in the layout according to the defect coordinates of the hotspots. A common pattern is obtained according to the stacked hotspots corresponding to a location with specific coordinates in the layout. It is determined whether the common pattern is a known pattern having an individual identification (ID) code. A new ID code is assigned to the common pattern when the common pattern is an unknown pattern.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a fluid head that is configured to eject a first fluid (e.g., a liquid state fluid) and a second fluid (e.g., a gaseous state fluid). The fluid head is movable in a rotatable-fashion and a translatable-fashion such that the fluid head may be utilized to increase a speed and decrease a period of time for cleaning and drying a workpiece after an electro-chemical polishing (ECP) process or step. The fluid head may also be utilized to increase a speed and decrease a period of time for beveling an edge of a conductive layer on the workpiece. The present disclosure is also directed to methods for cleaning and drying the workpiece as well as beveling the conductive layer of the workpiece utilizing the fluid head.
