Abstract

This work aims to systematically gain an understanding of the effects of multilayer patterns on wafer temperature uniformity during rapid thermal processing, and explore possible solutions to the problem. Steady state and transient wafer temperature distributions are simulated by combining a detailed reactor transport model with multilayer electromagnetic theory to predict wafer radiative properties. A generic axisymmetric RTP system with single-side illumination is used as a testbed to explore pattern effects for a simulated source/drain implant anneal.
