Paper Abstract

A new statistical analysis technique will be shown for process comparisons and optimization in production photolithography. The experimental layout proposed allows for efficient collection of data off-line for calculation of a process index relating the 6 sigma repeatability to assumed specification limits for each experimental cell of a full factorial experiment. Appropriate blocking of the experiment and number of repeats used allows the process index to be compared to the process capability calculations in popular use throughout the semiconductor industry.
