Abstract

SEMATECH has worked with numerous commercial suppliers of RTP systems on both evaluation and development projects. It has adopted standardized methods which minimize monitor wafer impact and improve system characterization. RTP temperature control requirements are projected to tighten with each successive technology node (1). This paper discusses issues concerning performance evaluation of Rapid Thermal Processors (RTP).
