IBM, Coventor present 22nm virtual fabrication success at SISPAD

IBM and Coventor jointly presented a paper at the 2013 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD).

The paper presents a technology development methodology that relies on 3D virtual fabrication using Coventor’s SEMulator 3D platform to rapidly improve yield by increasing tolerance to multilevel process variation. This methodology has been successfully implemented in the development and yield ramp of high–performance 22nm SOI CMOS technology. Based on virtual metrology, dedicated test site structures were designed and implemented, with electrical results corroborating virtual findings, validating the methodology. This 3D virtual fabrication technique was used to implement a delicate process change, and the same test site structures validated the improved process window yield.

Figure 4 displays a single image showing how surface roughness can get transferred to materials etched or deposited later. In this image, the surface roughness has led to scumming, which in turn caused lines to get shorted. The figure shows uneven lines due to surface roughness, with material left behind that crosses two of the lines and creates a short.
