摘要：

The performance of an automatic spectroscopic ellipsometer, the SOPRA Multi-Layer Monitor (MLM) has been evaluated in the Defence Evaluation and Reasearch Agency's Cleanroom over a one-year period on representative CMOS/Bipolar wafer structures supplied by IC manufacturers. Precision, stability, throughput and accuracy have been assessed for ONO, OPO, oxide, Si/SiGe and PECVD nitride/metal wafers. Examples are given to illustrate the ability of the MLM to discriminate variations due to intrinsic and deliberately-induced process changes, as well as cross-wafer uniformity. Both monitor and patterned product wafers have been measured and the inadequacy of relying on monitor wafers demonstrated.
