Patent EP-1122775-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZHANG ZHI-FAN
IPC: H01L21/28
Filed: 2001-02-01
Abstract: A method for processing a substrate comprising the
formation of a metal nitride/metal stack suitable for use as
a barrier/liner for sub-0.18µm device fabrication. After a
metal nitride layer (508) is deposited upon a metal layer (506), the
metal nitride layer is exposed to a treatment step in a
nitrogen-containing environment, e.g., a plasma. The plasma
treatment modifies the entire metal nitride layer (508) and a top
portion (506T) of the underlying metal layer. The plasma adds
nitrogen to the top portion of the metal layer, resulting in
the formation of a nitrated-metal layer (507). Aside from
reducing the microstructure mismatch across the nitride-metal
interface, the plasma treatment also densifies and
reduces impurities from the deposited nitride layer. The
resulting nitride/metal stack exhibits improved film
properties, including enhanced adhesion and barrier
characteristics. A composite nitride layer of a desired
thickness can also be formed by repeating the deposition and
treatment cycles of thinner component nitride layers.

Abstract: A test structure and a method for detecting early failures in a large ensemble of semiconductor elements, particularly applicable to on-chip interconnects, is provided. A novel approach to gain information about the statistical behavior of several thousand interconnects and to investigate possible deviations from perfect lognormal statistics is presented. A test structure having a Wheatstone Bridge arrangement and arrays of several hundred interconnects may be used to prove that failure data does not deviate from lognormal behavior down to a cumulative failure rate of approximately one out of 20,000. Typical test structure sizes may, therefore, be extended far beyond standard test procedures to gain information about the statistical behavior of failure mechanisms and to verify the validity of the assumption that failure mechanisms follow lognormal statistical behavior.

Abstract: Disclosed is a distance measuring apparatus for measuring a distance to
a target object also its shape precisely without influence of noise, which is
applied to a invader monitoring system. This apparatus comprises a clock
signal generator unit, a modulated light projector unit, a light receiver unit,
and a demodulator unit, and obtains a range image presenting signal levels
changing according to the distances to the objects including the target object
by irradiating light onto the objects and receiving reflected light. In the
demodulator unit, the range image is processed for evaluating and removing
noise components, for interpolating and averaging noise removed region,
and for selecting the target object region. Those processes are carried out
from the following point of view, the variation of the distance signal levels, the
received quantity of light, and the variation of the received quantity of light.
Thus a range image without no noise and including substantially only the
target object data is obtained, and therefore it is possible to measure a
distance to the target object and its shape precisely without influence of
noise.

Abstract: To generate a 3D computer model of a subject object 210,

preliminary 3D computer model 390 is generated using the
images from a first of the sets such that the position

positions and directions of the images in the first set

This is done by projecting the preliminary 3D computer
model 390 into images from each other set, and changing

of the projected 3D computer model with the silhouette
