Semiconductors

A Breakthrough in Semiconductor Manufacturing

Next generation digital molecular sensing capabilities purpose fit for process control

Traditional methods of metrology are insufficient for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) methods lack the precision needed, and traditional Residual Gas Analysis (RGA) lack the durability to withstand the harsh, corrosive gas environments required by advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. 

With Atonarp’s robust miniature mass spectrometer and proprietary software platform we’ve created a unique solution. We deliver accurate in-situ measurements, all within small, self-contained instruments, which are purpose built to withstand the rigors of advanced semiconductor manufacturing environments.

Applications

Chamber Cleaning, Seasoning, Fingerprinting & Matching

Chamber Cleaning, Seasoning, Fingerprinting & Matching

Chamber clean end point detection, fingerprinting & seasoning (matching) within <1σ of a golden chamber

Accurate reactant partial pressures for CVD/ALD/ALE; critical for copy exact process duplication

Quantify contamination, gas impurities & chemistry inside the process chamber with ppb sensitivity

ML/AI & EPCO

Machine learning in semiconductor FABs is a multi $B efficiency opportunity.

Tighter process control gives higher line and product yield, higher throughput, and optimized maintenance schedules

Aston’s  measured in-situ real-time data at the molecular level gives true insight and is quantified, actionable data for ML models

Small Open Area and HAR Eetch

Aston delivers metrology requirements for HAR etch, small OA% and selective processing for gate all around and 3D memory structures.  

High sensitivity for low Open Area (OA), 0.3%, and High  Aspect Ratio (HAR)

No plasma or pulsed plasma?  No problem! 

Metrology of structures beyond line-of-sight

Technology transfer

CopyExactly! has matured.   
Equipment and Process Co-Optimization (EPCO)  requires molecular level fingerprinting, profiling and matching; not just the same recipe on the same equipment. 
Tightly controlled, autonomous low level process and chamber management is the new gold standard, to exactly match the transfer source with molecular precision.
