Abstract

This paper will present an overview of rapid thermal processing (RTP) technologies for fastcycle-time IC production. RTP has experienced significant advances in equipment design, process control capabilities, and unit process applications over the past eight years. The Microelectronics Manufacturing Science and Technology (MMST) program at TI successfully demonstrated CMOS IC production in a single-wafer factory with all-RTP thermal fabrication for various anneals, oxidations, and chemical-vapor depositions. The use of RTP in conjunction with other single-wafer processes enabled 0.35 µm IC fabrication with a 3-day cycle time. Selected RTP equipment, sensor, and process control developments will be reviewed. The RTP applications and requirements for state-of-the-art and future IC technologies will be described.
