Optical Measurement of Cop Defects on Silicon Wafer Surface by Laser Scattered Defect Pattern
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents new optical measurement method for evaluating the defects on a silicon wafer surface quantitatively by detecting the intensity distribution, “ laser scattered defect pattern ( LSDP )“, corresponding to the superposition of scattered light from a defect and reflected light from a surface. In order to verify a feasibility to detect “crystal originated particles ( COPs )” and to discriminate them from particulate contaminations, the basic experiments were carried out for the silicon wafer surface with COPs identified by making the use of Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Then, it was found that COPs with the size of sub-micro meter scale were able to be detected as LSDPs and suggested that our proposed method had a feasibility of discrimination between COPs and particulate contaminations by measuring the contrast of LSDP.

Non-Destructive Evaluation of SiC wafer for Power Device Defect detection in μm~nm scale using optical analytical technique
Tomoaki HATAYAMA Power devices using Silicon Carbide (SiC) are already commercialized and are moving into mass production, but commercial SiC wafers have several types of defects. It is important to have techniques for analyzing a variety of defects, because these defects decrease the yield ratio of SiC devices. In this paper, we did complex analysis on sub-millimeterand nanometer-scale defects...
