Extract

Methods for rapid and accurate analysis of coating composition and thickness are of major importance for the semiconductor industry. Typical coating problems are Al, Au or Pt coatings on metal and Cr/Ni alloy or SiO2/P2O5 glass on Si wafers. Due to the nature of the coatings ana tne variety of elements, a software package, COAT95 has been developed to cover the following three possible situations:

  • 1. Single element coating for thickness only.

  • 2. Compound, elements A and B, coating on substrate element S, for composition and thickness.

  • 3. Compound, elements A and S, coating on substrate element S , for composition and thickness.

The main goal of the COAT95 software is to have all possible models for the single layer coating problems of the semiconductor industry.
