Abstract

FinFET Floating gate Plasma induced damage Process Chemistry and Technology Hardware and Architecture Electrical and Electronic Engineering Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Electronic Optical and Magnetic Materials
This work investigates plasma induced charging effect on FinFET front-end-of-line (FEOL) plasma processes. Based on the plasma induced damage (PID) recorder which monitors back-end-of-line (BEOL) processes, a refined version is proposed for the evaluation of PID in FEOL processes. This modified PID recorder along with systematic approaches evaluating sources of charging events during fabrication processes can provide insight into further optimization of FinFET technologies.
