Micron Technology and Applied Materials engaged in a project to determine if Virtual Metrology (VM) is viable in a semiconductor manufacturing environment, focusing on six chambers of a CVD process with a target metrology parameter of thickness. An adaptive modeling process was utilized that related process fault detection data to metrology data. Results indicate that (1), VM models can be developed...
Applied Materials is working with customers to assess new ways to identify opportunities to reduce resources usage (energy, process chemicals/gasses) by existing semiconductor process tools. Through six customer pilot projects we have identified potential average savings of $22.5K per year, for the CMP and CVD process tool examined, by using a consultative service approach to business and financial...
Summary form only given. Advances in amorphous silicon technology (a-Si:H) and large area liquid crystal display (LCD) manufacturing have led to a truly green thin film photovoltaic manufacturing methodology with no toxic waste. Manufacturing with this technology is relatively mature for areas ~1 m2 . In the last ten years several organizations have been producing commercial products from 1 W to 100+W...
Applied materials played a pivotal role in the commercial acceptance of rapid thermal processing (RTP) within the semiconductor industry, largely by solving the problem of precisely measuring and controlling the temperature of silicon. Today, our RTP-based products are used for processes as varied as radical oxidation, gate oxide engineering, metal silicide annealing, and ultra shallow junction annealing...
