CAMECA AKONIS

CAMECA AKONIS

Fully automated SIMS for metrology on semiconductor fabrication lines 

The CAMECA AKONIS SIMS system for composition measurement fills a critical gap in semiconductor fabrication processes, working directly on the manufacturing line:

  • High throughput
  • High precision detection
  • Implant profiles
  • Composition analysis
  • Interfacial data

AKONIS features a very high level of automation. This ensures repeatability across tools for fab level process control and tool-to-tool matching.

Features

  • Fully automated set-up and acquisition routines.
  • Fast, within-fab analysis without compromising sensitivity.
  • EXtremely Low Impact Energy (EXLIE) ionic column technology (< 150 eV).
  • Full wafer handling system.
  • High resolution stage for measurements on pads down to 20 μm.

AKONIS complements the CAMECA IMS Wf/SC Ultra and SIMS 4550 quadrupole SIMS used in characterisation labs in the semiconductor industry.

Maximising yield on N5 and beyond

  • High resolution composition and fast dopant depth profiling of SiGe and SiP multilayer stacks.
  • Unrivalled in pad detection limits down to 20 μm.
  • Reduces time to feedback data to the process line by >97%.
  • Measures blanket and patterned full wafers.
  • < 2 μm position accuracy, with a pattern recognition engine and high resolution interferometric stage.
  • Build intuitive recipes with a unique material database
  • SEMI certified (S2/S8, E4, E5, E39, E84, etc).
  • Low cost of ownership.

Self-Focusing SIMS

Self-focusing SIMS was found to be ten times faster for characterising nanometre-size features than direct methods such as TEM and APT. More details…
