ASD test chip

Area Selective Deposition (ASD-1) Test Chip

The Chipmetrics ASD-1 test chip features high resolution narrow line structures composed with alternating materials at the planar surface of the silicon substrate.

It is designed for characterizing self-aligned area selective depositions either by the ALD or CVD processes.

Chipmetrics Patterning Service for Area Selective Deposition (ASD)

Sub-20 nm CD features through thin film stacks

Access to narrow line-width patterned test structures is crucial for developing ASD processes.

Chipmetrics’ patterning service allows customers to define and access sub-20 nm test structure features for ASD.

Chipmetrics offers a unique process for patterning sub-20 nm lines on any thin film stacks. This process is unique with easy and fast access to small CD feature size patterning. The process can be used for most materials (dielectrics, metals, metal nitrides, high-k).

Service process

  1. Customers can either specify the thin film layer stack for Chipmetrics to deposit or deposit the film stack themselves and send substrates (up to 300 mm wafers) to Chipmetrics for processing.

  2. Chipmetrics carries out patterning.

  3. Chipmetrics delivers the patterned wafers or diced chips to the customer. If the customer deposits the film stack, height variations between lines may occur, whereas Chipmetrics’ deposition also enables planar lines.
