Future generations of CMOS technology require aggressive scaling of SOI and BOX layer thickness. This will pose significant challenges for SOI specific metrology. Future requirements for layer thickness measurements, LPD inspection, electrical and structural characterization of SOI stack are discussed. Possible directions for future development of appropriate techniques are proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
