  • Patent number: 10804167
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing co-located measurements of semiconductor structures with two or more measurement subsystems are presented herein. To achieve a sufficiently small measurement box size, the metrology system monitors and corrects the alignment of the measurement spot of each metrology subsystem with a metrology target to achieve maximum co-location of the measurement spots of each metrology subsystem with the metrology target. In another aspect, measurements are performed simultaneously by two or more metrology subsystems at high throughput at the same wafer location. Furthermore, the metrology system effectively decouples simultaneously acquired measurement signals associated with each measurement subsystem. This maximizes signal information associated with simultaneous measurements of the same metrology by two or more metrology subsystems.

  • Patent number: 10352876
    Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a measurement model based only on measured training data are presented. The trained measurement model is then used to calculate overlay values directly from measured scatterometry data. The measurement models receive scatterometry signals directly as input and provide overlay values as output. In some embodiments, overlay error is determined from measurements of design rule structures. In some other embodiments, overlay error is determined from measurements of specialized target structures. In a further aspect, the measurement model is trained and employed to measure additional parameters of interest, in addition to overlay, based on the same or different metrology targets. In some embodiments, measurement data from multiple targets, measurement data collected by multiple metrologies, or both, is used for model building, training, and measurement. In some embodiments, an optimization algorithm automates the measurement model building and training process.

  • Patent number: 10139352
    Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring metrology targets smaller than the illumination spot size employed to perform the measurement are described herein. Collected measurement signals contaminated with information from structures surrounding the target area are reconstructed to eliminate the contamination. In some examples, measurement signals associated one or more small targets and one or more large targets located in close proximity to one another are used to train a signal reconstruction model. The model is subsequently used to reconstruct measurement signals from other small targets. In some other examples, multiple measurements of a small target at different locations within the target are de-convolved to estimate target area intensity. Reconstructed measurement signals are determined by a convolution of the illumination spot profile and the target area intensity. In a further aspect, the reconstructed signals are used to estimate values of parameters of interest associated with the measured structures.

  • Patent number: 10101670
    Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a measurement model based on measured training data are presented. The trained measurement model is used to calculate process parameter values, structure parameter values, or both, directly from measured data collected from other wafers. The measurement models receive measurement data directly as input and provide process parameter values, structure parameter values, or both, as output. The measurement model enables the direct measurement of process parameters. Measurement data from multiple targets is collected for model building, training, and measurement. In some examples, the use of measurement data associated with multiple targets eliminates, or significantly reduces, the effect of under layers in the measurement result, and enables more accurate measurements. Measurement data collected for model building, training, and measurement, may be derived from measurements performed by a combination of multiple, different measurement techniques.
