Defect Recognition and Image Processing in Semiconductors 1997 provides a valuable overview of current techniques used to assess, monitor, and characterize defects from the atomic scale to inhomogeneities in complete silicon wafers. This volume addresses advances in defect analyzing techniques and instrumentation and their application to substrates, epilayers, and devices. The book discusses the merits and limits of characterization techniques; standardization; correlations between defects and device performance, including degradation and failure analysis; and the adaptation and application of standard characterization techniques to new materials. It also examines the impressive advances made possible by the increase in the number of nanoscale scanning techniques now available. The book investigates defects in layers and devices, and examines the problems that have arisen in characterizing gallium nitride and silicon carbide.

Thousands of high-resolution images are generated each day. Segmenting, classifying, and analyzing the contents of these images are the key steps in image understanding. This thesis focuses on image segmentation and classification and its applications in synthetic, texture, natural, biomedical, and industrial images. A robust level-set-based multi-region and texture image segmentation approach is proposed in this thesis to tackle most of the challenges in the existing multi-region segmentation methods, including computational complexity and sensitivity to initialization. Medical image analysis helps in understanding biological processes and disease pathologies. In this thesis, two cell evolution analysis schemes are proposed for cell cluster extraction in order to analyze cell migration, cell proliferation, and cell dispersion in different cancer cell images. The proposed schemes accurately segment both the cell cluster area and the individual cells inside and outside the cell cluster area. The method is currently used by different cell biology labs to study the behavior of cancer cells, which helps in drug discovery. Defects can cause failure to motherboards, processors, and semiconductor units. An automatic defect detection and classification methodology is very desirable in many industrial applications. This helps in producing consistent results, facilitating the processing, speeding up the processing time, and reducing the cost. In this thesis, three defect detection and classification schemes are proposed to automatically detect and classify different defects related to semiconductor unit images. The first proposed defect detection scheme is used to detect and classify the solder balls in the processor sockets as either defective (Non-Wet) or non-defective. The method produces a 96% classification rate and saves 89% of the time used by the operator. The second proposed defect detection scheme is used for detecting and measuring voids inside solder balls of different boards and products. The third proposed defect detection scheme is used to detect different defects in the die area of semiconductor unit images such as cracks, scratches, foreign materials, fingerprints, and stains. The three proposed defect detection schemes give high accuracy and are inexpensive to implement compared to the existing high cost state-of-the-art machines.

Mask blanks are the substrates that hold the master patterns for integrated circuits. Integrated circuits are semiconductor devices, such as microprocessors (mPs), dynamic random access memory (DRAMs), and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that are central to the computer, communication, and electronics industries. These devices are fabricated using a set of master patterns that are sequentially imaged onto light-sensitive coated silicon wafers and processed to form thin layers of insulating and conductive materials on top of the wafer. These materials form electrical paths and transistors that control the flow of electricity through the device. For the past forty years the semiconductor industry has made phenomenal improvements in device functionality, compactness, speed, power, and cost. This progress is principally due to the exponential decrease in the minimum feature size of integrated circuits, which has been reduced by a factor of (square root)2 every three years. Since 1992 the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has coordinated the efforts of producing a technology roadmap for semiconductors. In the latest document, ''The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors: 1999'', future technology nodes (minimum feature sizes) and targeted dates were specified and are summarized in Table 1. Lithography is the imaging technology for producing a de-magnified image of the mask on the wafer. A typical de-magnification factor is 4. Mask blank defects as small as one-eighth the equivalent minimum feature size are printable and may cause device failure. Defects might be the result of the surface preparation, such as polishing, or contamination due to handling or the environment. Table 2 shows the maximum tolerable defect sizes on the mask blank for each technology node. This downward trend puts a tremendous burden on mask fabrication, particularly in the area of defect detection and reduction. A new infrastructure for mask inspection will be required to keep pace with this aggressive roadmap. Depending on the specific lithography used for a particular generation, mask inspection specifics may change, but the methodology will essentially remain the same. Mask blanks will have to undergo 100% area inspection for defects larger than the maximum acceptable size. Since masks are becoming a significant cost factor in the ownership of lithography tools, this is a critical step--patterning defective mask blanks would be an economic disaster. Inspection does not necessarily have to be done at the ultraviolet wavelength used for the lithography since defects at the mask blank level will interact with visible light, albeit very weakly. Techniques using visible light are appealing because they are familiar to the user, relatively straightforward to manufacture and safe to use, and when designed properly, extendable over many generations. The technology used in commercial wafer inspection tools is currently the prime candidate for mask blank inspection. It is based on direct detection of scattered light from the defect in one or more directions. Figure 1 shows a typical setup with detectors in both the forward scatter direction (bright-field detection) and away from the specular direction (dark-field detection). In these setups the beam and/or mask blank is scanned to achieve full inspection of the blank. The scattered signal from a defect is therefore a short pulse immersed in the dynamic background scatter from the inherent surface roughness of the mask blank and in the light scattered from the optics and mechanical parts within the instrument. State-of-the-art instruments cannot detect defects smaller than 80 nm, insufficient for the next technology node. The research done over the last year addressed defect detection using a different approach --a heterodyne interference/synchronous detection technique that has the potential of enhanced detection of the scattered light from small defects. This detection is accomplished by directly measuring the amplitude of the electric field of the scattered light using interference of the scattered light with a strong, frequency shifted, local oscillator beam. This technique could provide the basis for new visible light inspection equipment.

Automatic detection of defects during the fabrication of semiconductor wafers is largely automated, but the classification of those defects is still performed manually by technicians. This invention includes novel digital image analysis techniques that generate unique feature vector descriptions of semiconductor defects as well as classifiers that use these descriptions to automatically categorize the defects into one of a set of pre-defined classes. Feature extraction techniques based on multiple-focus images, multiple-defect mask images, and segmented semiconductor wafer images are used to create unique feature-based descriptions of the semiconductor defects. These feature-based defect descriptions are subsequently classified by a defect classifier into categories that depend on defect characteristics and defect contextual information, that is, the semiconductor process layer(s) with which the defect comes in contact. At the heart of the system is a knowledge database that stores and distributes historical semiconductor wafer and defect data to guide the feature extraction and classification processes. In summary, this invention takes as its input a set of images containing semiconductor defect information, and generates as its output a classification for the defect that describes not only the defect itself, but also the location of that defect with respect to the semiconductor process layers.
