Advanced logic and memory manufacturing processes are becoming more reliant on fast turnaround of precise structural and analytical data to be able to quickly calibrate tool sets, diagnose yield excursions, and optimize process yields. At technology nodes below 28nm, especially in cases where 3D and advanced device designs are being implemented, conventional SEM or optical-based analysis and inspection tools run into challenges that limit their ability to provide robust and reliable data. The Thermo Scientific Metrios AX transmission electron microscope (TEM) is the first TEM dedicated to providing the fast, precise characterization and reference metrology that semiconductor manufacturers need to develop and control their wafer fabrication processes in order to accelerate profitable yield.
The Metrios AX TEM automates the basic TEM operation and measurement procedures, minimizing the requirements for specialized operator training. Its advanced automated metrology routines deliver significantly greater precision than manual methods. The Metrios AX TEM is designed to provide improved throughput and lower cost-per-sample than other TEMs.
Designed from the ground-up to deliver repeatable TEM and STEM-based imaging, analytics and gauge capable metrology.
Less than 0.75% combined error in distortion and magnification calibration for both TEM and STEM.
Acquire and quantify EDS data with automation. Use elemental contrast on key critical dimensions to extend STEM.
Critical process data is tracked through sample prep, plucking, and imaging. Metrology can be applied offline to maximize tool acquisition time. All imaging and metrology data is consolidated in a web-based image viewer.

Analyse et imagerie par TEM des semi-conducteurs
Les microscopes électroniques à transmission Thermo Fisher Scientific offrent une analyse et une imagerie haute résolution des dispositifs semi-conducteurs, ce qui permet aux fabricants d’étalonner les ensembles d’outils, de diagnostiquer les mécanismes de défaillance et d’optimiser les rendements globaux des processus.
Métrologie par TEM
Les routines de métrologie par TEM avancées et automatisées offrent une précision nettement supérieure à celle des méthodes manuelles. Cela permet aux utilisateurs de générer de grandes quantités de données statistiquement pertinentes, avec une spécificité de niveau inférieur à l’angström, qui est exempte de biais de l’opérateur.
