Scotts Valley, CA November 17, 2022
The 241 ECS meeting published interesting new data in joint paper by imec and ALP. The paper is a comprehensive comparison of ALPro(TM) 100 DHEM profiles with Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy (SSRM) data. It also has an in-depth analysis of the behavior of post-TiN anneals on SiP carriers.
SSRM provides spreading resistance profile data which is converted to carrier profiles via calibration. On the other hand, ALP’s Differential Hall Effect Metrology (DHEM) measures resistivity, mobility and carrier profiles that are collected using Van der Pauw/Hall Effect measurements.
Additionally, the ALPro 100 DHEM system provides sub-nm depth resolution which allows for complete analysis and process optimization of semiconductor materials needed for next generation CMOS devices.
ALPro 100 can also be used to evaluate many semiconductor materials including Si, SiGe, Ge, and power/RF materials and is the most advanced DHEM system on the market.
