Product Briefing Outline: Accent Optical Technologies has expanded its FTIR application suite with the introduction of "Filmz". It employs new proprietary intelligent algorithms to extract the maximum amount of information from the measured IR spectrum, according to the company. The company claims that by directly integrating an interpretive engine within the algorithms dramatically improves the ease of use to the point whereby operators can generate effective recipes.
Problem: In previous applications to work effectively, it was required to have the recipe definition of 16 parameters, which inherently presumed a detailed technical knowledge of the material and FTIR operational variables. Filmz now delivers the same results with only three general variables inputted, according to the company. Solution: In addition to improved ease of use, Filmz(TM) is more robust in its applicability. It requires no calibration and a single recipe can reliably determine thickness over several orders of magnitude with nanometer level precision. In the case of semiconductive epitaxial films, Filmz(TM) is immune to large variations in dopant concentration, unlike most other applications. Very short learning curve means an operator is ready to use solution right out of the box, while providing fast feed-back or feed-forward to reduce cycle time. Applications: Filmz is not just for standard epi; it is also applicable to MEMS devices (substrates and layers), SiC wafers and devices and other compound materials. Also for photoresist and dielectric films including some extraordinarily thick films, as well as verifying reprocessed monitor wafers. Platform: Unique algorithms developed by Accent. Works across the Accent suite of configurations Accent's QS1200, QS2200 and QS3300 model series. Compatible with open cassette, SMIF, and foup configurations.
Availability: November 2005 onwards.
