摘要: A method of qualifying semiconductor wafer processing includes: illuminating a semiconductor wafer simultaneously with source light having wavelengths in a plurality of wavebands, including at least a first waveband and a second waveband, the second waveband being different from the first waveband; separating light reflected from the semiconductor wafer as a result of said illuminating, the separating dividing the reflected light according to waveband; generating a first image of the semiconductor wafer based on reflected light separated into the first waveband; and, generating a second image of the semiconductor wafer base on reflected light separated into the second waveband.

摘要: A product inspection system includes an image acquisition system having a camera generating an inspection image of a product arranged between a plurality of mirrors. The inspection image has a plurality of sub images of different sides of the product. The inspection system has a calibration member with a plurality of correction patterns on different sides; the camera receives light from the calibration member reflected by the mirrors to generate a calibration image of the calibration member. A computer of the product inspection system receives the inspection image and the calibration image and determines a relative mirror position relationship between the mirrors. The computer forms a single spliced image of the product.

摘要: A method for optimizing a measurement pattern of measurement points for a semiconductor wafer includes (i) obtaining a plurality of measured values with associated measurement points and timestamps, (ii) partitioning the semiconductor wafer into zones, wherein the zones are characterized in that measured values whose measurement positions are within the respective zone have the same characteristic, (iii) determining a variation of the measured values for each of the zones along a predetermined time period, the timestamps of which are within the predetermined time window, and (iv) defining the measurement pattern, wherein, depending on the variations, a measurement point density is defined for each of the zones, in particular a higher measurement point density is selected in the zones with higher variation along the time.

摘要: A beam of light is directed at a workpiece that includes a low-k dielectric material, which causes fluorescence emission from the low-k dielectric material. The workpiece is imaged during fluorescence emission. The imaging can use an optical filter in an imaging path of the beam of light that selects at least one wavelength from 300 nm to 900 nm.

摘要: A location of grid lines in an image of a laser-annealed semiconductor wafer is determined. An area covered by the grid lines can be filled using a new gray value. The new gray value can be based on a second gray scale value of a neighborhood around the area. The neighborhood is outside of the area covered by the grid lines.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for processing defect information of a product, which includes the following steps of: acquiring defect information on a current film layer and defect information on historical film layers; determining whether defect information exists at a target location of the historical film layer if defect information exists at a target location of the current film layer; if defect information exists for a corresponding location to the target location in at least one of the historical film layers, deleting the defect information detected at the target location in the current film layer; and if no defect information exists for the target location in any of the historical film layers, retaining the defect information detected at the target location in the current film layer. According to this, for the defect information on the current film layer, only the defect information caused by factors of the current film layer may be retained, and the defect information caused by the historical film layers will not be retained, and thus, on the one hand, the stored data volume may be reduced, and on the other hand, the complexity of subsequent analysis of defect information may be simplified.

摘要: A method and system are presented for use in measuring one or more characteristics of patterned structures. The method comprises: performing measurements on a patterned structure by illuminating the structure with exciting light to cause Raman scattering of one or more excited regions of the pattern structure, while applying a controlled change of at least temperature condition of the patterned structure, and detecting the Raman scattering, and generating corresponding measured data indicative of a temperature dependence of the detected Raman scattering; and analyzing the measured data and generating data indicative of spatial profile of one or more properties of the patterned structure.
