Definitions
- the present invention relates to substrate processing, and more particularly, to a substrate processing tool configured for performing integrated substrate processing and substrate metrology, and a method of using.
- Embodiments of the invention describe a substrate processing tool configured for performing integrated substrate processing and substrate metrology, and methods of processing a substrate.
- a substrate processing tool includes a substrate transfer chamber, a plurality of substrate processing chambers coupled to the substrate transfer chamber, and a substrate metrology module coupled to the substrate transfer chamber.
- a substrate processing method includes processing a substrate in a first substrate processing chamber of a substrate processing tool, transferring the substrate from the first substrate processing chamber through a substrate transfer chamber to a substrate metrology module in the substrate processing tool, performing metrology on the substrate in the substrate metrology module, transferring the substrate from the substrate metrology module to a second substrate processing chamber through the substrate transfer chamber, and processing the substrate in the second substrate processing chamber.

- Embodiments of the invention describe a substrate processing tool configured for performing integrated substrate processing and substrate metrology, and methods of processing a substrate.
- Embodiments of the invention address integrated substrate processing and the need for performing substrate metrology during the integrated substrate processing.
- substrate metrology may be performed in the processing tool following a film deposition step to measure and characterize loss of deposition selectivity and, based on substrate metrology data, perform removal of undesired film nuclei to achieve selective film formation.
- the results from the substrate metrology step may be used to tune the film nuclei removal step based on variation in the film deposition step.
- artificial intelligence AI may be used to analyze the substrate metrology results and predict future film thickness and film deposition selectivity.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a substrate processing tool configured for performing integrated substrate processing and substrate metrology according to
- the substrate processing tool 100 contains a substrate (wafer) transfer system 101 that includes cassette modules 101 A, 101 B, and 101C, and a substrate alignment module 10 ID.
- Load-lock chambers 102A and 102B, and substrate metrology module 102C, are coupled to the substrate transfer system 101.

Poor deposition selectivity can also occur if surface coverage of the SAM 208 is incomplete and contains voids on the second material layer 206.
- the substrate 200 is transferred into the substrate metrology module 102C where the deposition of the film 210 is measured and characterized. The characterization can determine the degree of deposition selectivity and the removal needed of the film nuclei 210’ from the SAM 208.
