Wooptix SL, a Spanish company dedicated to developing advanced imaging solutions for the semiconductor industry, will be presenting a new technique for Patterned Wafer Geometry at the upcoming SPIE Advanced Lithography conference on February 28th, 2022, in a paper published together with Applied Materials. The flatness of the silicon wafer used to manufacture integrated circuits is controlled to tight tolerances to ensure the full wafer is sufficiently flat for lithographic processing. In recent years, a metrology tool based on double Fizeau interferometry has been used to generate wafer geometry maps to correct for process induced focus issues and overlay problems. In the upcoming paper, WFPI is used successfully on patterned silicon wafers to acquire 7.65 million data points in 5 seconds on the full 300mm patterned wafer with a lateral resolution of 96µm to generate the wafer shape.

About Wooptix
Based in La Laguna Tenerife, Canary Islands, Wooptix is founded on decades of optical research done at the astrophysics department at La Laguna University in conjunction with Teide Observatory in Tenerife, one of the world’s most important astronomy research centers. Wooptix, being a venture funded company and an Intel Capital portfolio company, has used the venture funds to develop Phemet and bring it to commercialization for semiconductor the lab market and is currently in the early stages of bringing the technique in to a fully automated fab tool.

ESPOO, Finland, 14th of December 2021 - There has been a need for enhanced coating methods in organic electronic manufacturing as foldable phones and other future product iterations need materials that are lighter, more reliable and enable folding and stretching of a device. Thus, the use of thin film encapsulation solutions has become more common in organic electronic manufacturing.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has already proven to be the coating solution of choice for a wide range of applications in the semiconductor industry. Inorganic films, which are the standard output of an ALD process, are however susceptible to crack or develop defects under severe mechanical stress. This issue is magnified when depositing on large surface areas often required in flexible organic electronics manufacturing. Picosun’s novel approach to address these issues, for which patent rights are pending, includes nanolamination of dense inorganic layers deposited with ALD to maintain excellent barrier performance‚ with organic or hybrid molecular layer deposition (MLD) layers to offer enhanced flexibility and de-emphasize the defects which may appear when films are stressed.

Picosun research on an industrially viable ALD/MLD process was demonstrated on wafers and polymer substrates over 200 mm in diameter with a deposition temperature of 90 °C using Picosun ALD tools. The results showed great thickness uniformity and higher throughput compared to pure ALD film deposition. The MLD film proved to be stable in ambient environment and the complementary strengths of ALD and MLD hindered H2O permeation through the film stack, which enables flexibility in moisture barrier design.

“We are excited to bring these insights to the market as there has been little information available from stable and industrially viable MLD processes in full wafer scale. Besides organic electronics, we see immense potential with the ALD/MLD films in the manufacturing of LEDs, MEMS and medical packaging”, states Juhana Kostamo, VP, Industrial Business Area of Picosun Group.
