摘要
Nanometrology's unique solution to CD-SEM magnification calibration and matching. This utilizes a novel magnification calibration reference material (MCRM) designed and fabricated on an 8" wafer. When used with the proprietary software, it allows one to calibrate and match individual CD-SEMs. CD-SEM behavior can now be quantified in terms of its parameters such as the average magnification in the field of view (FOV), magnification nonlinearity and magnification stability. It is essential to quantify these parameters with a precision of 0.1% or better in order to meet requirements for sub-100nm metrology.
