Advanced Hybrid Cellular Based Approach for Three-Dimensional Etching and Deposition Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the simulation of etching and deposition processes the cellular method is very popular, because of its high robustness compared to alternative methods like the level set or the moving boundary approach. We present a method for the simulation of topography processes based on the cellular method that overcomes the problem of loss of information when using a cellular based simulator in combination with simulators using polygonal data representations. Additionally the new method allows to increase the resolution of the topography simulator without a significantly higher memory requirement.

We present three-dimensional simulation techniques for plasma etching processes. Models based on Langmuir-type adsorption and on ballistic particle transport at feature scale can be efficiently solved in three dimensions. Surface coverages are self-consistently calculated. The local sputter rates of ions and the fluxes of neutrals are computed using modern ray tracing algorithms. In this way an...

متن کاملHigh Density Plasma Deposition Modeling Using Level Set Methods
Several silicon dioxide chemical vapor deposition processes using high density plasma sources have been recently proposed in the literature [11, 7] for deposition of self-planarizing inter-level dielectric deposition. All these processes exhibit the competitive effect of simultaneous deposition and etching mechanisms. This paper describes the use of a robust simulation technique that can includ...
