Abstract

Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) has proven to be a valuable tool in the development and production of state-of-the-art semiconductor devices. Application to the plasma etching of a variety of materials necessary for integrated circuit fabrication is discussed, with particular emphasis placed on etch endpoint analysis. The utility of OES techniques in monitoring photolithographic processes is also presented.
