MACRO TO MONITOR N-P BUMP |
摘要 |
A technique relates to fabricating a macro for measurements utilized in dual spacer, dual epitaxial transistor devices. The macro is fabricated according to a fabrication process. The macro is a test layout of a semiconductor structure having n-p bumps at junctions between NFET areas and PFET areas. Optical critical dimension (OCD) spectroscopy is performed to obtain the measurements of the n-p bumps on the macro. An amount of chemical mechanical polishing is determined to remove the n-p bumps on the macro based on the measurements of the n-p bumps on the macro. Chemical mechanical polishing is performed to remove the n-p bumps on the macro. The amount previously determined for the macro is utilized to perform chemical mechanical polishing for each of the dual spacer, dual epitaxial layer transistor devices having been fabricated under the fabrication process of the macro in which the fabrication process produced the n-p bumps. |
