Abstract
Critical Shape Metrology (CSM), a Monte-Carlo simulation-based technique that extracts feature shape information from top-down CD-SEM images, is applied to study advanced process steps of etched polysilicon layers. True bottom CDs and sidewall angles are among the parameters obtained during real-time wafer inspection. Comparison is made to FIB cross-sections obtained independently from select test sites.
