Advanced FTIR Optical Modeling for Hydrogen Content Measurements in 3D NAND Cell Nitride and Amorphous Carbon Hard Mask


Abstract Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy offers inline solutions for chemical bonding, epi thickness, and trench depth measurements. Through optical modeling of the transmission or reflectance spectra, information about the electronic structure and chemical composition may be obtained, which can be used for process control and monitoring. In this article, we demonstrate the measurement... » read more
