APC at Motorola-SPS Karen McBrayer, PhD Manager Process Control Systems APRDL/IT
Outline • Before you can begin the fun stuff….. • Overview of a project under development • Overview of a project in production • Continuing Challenges
Before you can begin the fun stuff….. • You MUST understand the basics of the opportunity • You MUST understand the company’s priorities • You MUST understand the political environment • You MUST understand the business conditions • FINALLY, you MUST sell the idea
One of SPS’s Key Priorities for 2001 HiP7 by 7/7/01
One of SPS-IT’s Priorities for 2001 Configure - don’t Build

Selling the Idea • Meetings. • Meetings. • And more Meetings!
Photolithography Etch ADI Metrology ACI Metrology GTE Control - a project under development • GTE is an etch process used to trim the line width of the gate from After Development Inspection (ADI) dimensions to After Clean Inspection (ACI) dimensions
GTE Control - objective • The objective is to meet the required setpoint (ACI|setpt) after etch with minimal variance ADI GTE Controller Time ACI Photolithography Etch
GTE Control - controller development • Feedback controller developed to control the ACI. Inputs Outputs ADI Etch time GTE Controller Model
GTE Controller - step disturbance rejection GTE R2R Control: output disturbance in ACI target 0.75 Etcher 0.50 Target Norm. ACI meas 0.25 0.0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 1.25 Norm. ACI disturb 0.63 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 80 60 time (sec.) 40 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 Lot Number

Photolithography ADI Metrology OL Metrology ALEC - a controller in production • Advanced Lithography Equipment Controller (ALEC) controls both OL Alignment and Dose
ALEC - objectives • The objectives are (1) to minimize the difference between the actual pattern placement and the alignment marks and (2) to meet the required setpoint (ADI|setpt) with minimal variance Alignments Offsets ALEC Dose ADI Photolithography
ALEC - Controls CDs to within + 2.5% of Target 1.025* Target Target 0.975*Target
ALEC - reduces OL mean errors to <60nm UCL = 60 nm

Continuing Challenges • Negotiating the business and political environments • Process capabilities will always be pushed to the limit • Institutionalize APC as a natural part of process development • Simplify integration of APC into the CIM systems
