2 AMC Management Airborne Molecular Contamination Monitoring Curing and Protecting Preventing Conclusions

3 Introduction: Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC) AMC Humidity Gaseous compounds present in the air of a clean room, a process equipment or a container can contaminate surfaces or products. O Sensitive materials on wafer surface Metals, Si AMC can create serious damages generating important yield loss and massive performance degradation. AlF x crystals TiC x F y crystals Poly Si corrosion Cu corrosion

19 How to maintain wafer surface integrity between tools? Virtual Vacuum Fab concept :

20 Current Mobile Load Lock for 200 & 300mm A compact interface (AMLL) Specific loadport for vacuum carrier Smart Pressure balance system Easy to use operation system A detachable vacuum carrier Safe manual wafer transportation aluminum <8kg Air tightness < mbar.l/s

21 Example of Issue : surface oxidation Ex of Surface oxidation further to standard FOUP storage: Ge substrate with HF passivation / 4 min air exposure Ge surface is oxidized after 48 hours of air exposure No germanium oxidation after 6 day storage in vacuum carrier (no Ge-Ox+Ge-H XPS peak) Ge substrate with HF passivation after 48h air exposure 6 day storage in vacuum carrier B.Pelissier and H.Kambara.semiconductor International, March 2007 B.Pelissier & al Microelectronic Engineering 85 (2008)
