Abstract
In an industrial environment, new techniques based on the surface photovoltage measurement (SCA and SPV), are shown to detect sodium, aluminum, iron contamination in the range of E + 10/cm2. Variations in the measurements due to wafer samples or oxidation recipe are determined. From these results, a procedure for preparing monitoring samples is established. It is demonstrated that these monitoring tools are useful to monitor equipment but a correlation between the defectivity on a 12 nm gate oxide and SCA and SPV results with the same recipes was not obtained.
