Abstract
Chemical Mechanical Polishing/Planarization (CMP) is a process widely used in the microelectronic industries to smooth surfaces with the combination of chemical and mechanical forces. The particle size distribution of the slurry is a critical parameter controlling the success of the planarization process. A few large particles can scratch the surface of wafers or disc drives, reducing yields and profits.Single particle optical sizing (SPOS) technology measures the particles one at a time as they pass through a narrow measurement chamber, providing both an accurate size and concentration (particles/mL) result. Since the particles are measured individually, this technique is inherently very high resolution, and can detect even very few individual particles removed from the main distribution. It is therefore the ideal technique for detecting the Large Particle Counts (LPCs) that cause the most trouble with CMP slurries.

Abstract
Over a long period the Hall sensor dominated the magnetic field measurement. In the last years more advanced magnetic sensors are under development for consumer, industrial and automobile applications. The magnetic sensors, which are using the Tunnel Magnetic Junctions, are showing the highest resitance change with a TMR of ~ 250%. For this technology it is essential to controll the film layer thickness in a sub Anström level. Singulus developed a production technology which shows a high repeatability and an excellent uniformity for a substrate size of 200 or 300 mm.

Abstract
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and Sensors provide the magic that makes today’s devices from our everyday life smart. MEMS consist of tiny mechanical and electrical devices such as membranes, mirrors and valves, as well as sensors, actuators and integrated circuits. Without MEMS or sensors, we would not have smartphones, smart homes and wearable smart watches, as well as a huge range of industrial and medical devices that require the functionality provided by MEMS and sensors.Smaller package sizes require extremely thin substrates to build up devices. For this thin and ultra-thin substrates need to be processed, that put new challenges on handling them throughout the process. For this carrier wafers are used, that support the thin device wafer during processing.Temporary bonding and de-bonding is used to fix the device wafer onto the carrier prior to processing and releasing it afterwards. There are different bonding and de-bonding technologies available, that require different material properties as well as patterns and features.Glass and quartz are excellent materials for carrier wafers because of their thermal stability and resistance against acids and other chemicals. Bonding to and de-bonding from glass and quartz carrier wafers can be monitored since they are transparent. Furthermore, glass carrier wafers can be cleaned and re-used, thus contributing to cost reduction and environmental protection.This presentation shows possibilities for using Carriers from Glass and Quartz with different bonding and de-bonding technologies as laser, chemical or thermal release.

Abstract
Line Confocal Imaging (LCI) is an optical technology for high speed 2D and 3D topography and tomography measurements.Line Confocal Imaging sensors measure millions of accurate data points per second, also from moving surfaces. The LCI sensors provide sub-micron resolution and can be used for all kind of surface types, including glossy, curved and transparent materials that have been challenging for industry standard laser sensors. Simultaneously with the 3D data, the LCI sensors produce also high dynamic range pixel synchronised intensity images of the surface which can be used to 2D defect detection and pattern recognition.The applications of LCI sensors include roughness measurement of transparent surfaces, defect detection in multilayer transparent materials, high speed dimensional control of 3D curved glasses, various surface and sub-surface analysis of flexible, hybrid, and organic electronics, BGAs, MEMS.The LCI sensors can be integrated to factory automation using Ethernet interface.In this talk, the LCI will be explained in detail and several industrial applications will be given as examples.Keywords: optical 3D sensors; surface metrology; film tomography, high-speed in-line inspection; submicron

Abstract
Completely dried photoresists (“PR”) masks are a necessary precondition to avoid undesired effects in subsequent manufacturing steps like high dose implant, metal/oxide etch and ash. But in particular for medium or thick PR commonly used in Power Device, MEMS or Advanced Packaging (TSV) this becomes increasingly difficult using just the standard thermal hard bake.A solution for achieving crosslinked PR films is the so-called UV Cure - a state-of-the-art technology combining UV exposure with precise low-high-low temperature cycling. This leads to 100% deep dried PR films due to crosslinking of the resin and the photo active compounds by UV radiation and thereby efficient solvent evaporation. The presentation will explain above physical-chemical phenomena, show the effects in key applications and will further explain the Trymax NEO 2000UV system requirements and features

Abstract
The semiconductor industry embarked on its own “Smart Manufacturing” journey over 30 years ago, long before the term was coined. The continuous productivity improvements that result are absolutely essential for creating and building the devices that fuel our electronics-based global economy and maintaining commercial viability in a hyper-competitive industry. However, what we’ve learned in the process is that like many scientific endeavors, it is a journey without a destination… as new market opportunities are met with new device and system technologies in an ever-changing business environment, the list of manufacturing challenges is never complete.How, then, can one plot a course under such conditions? What intermediate destinations should we choose, and for what reasons? How should we prioritize the allocation of limited resources, both capital and human? How do we gauge our progress in a given area, and know when to move on?This is where the global Smart Manufacturing initiative (synonymous with the Industry 4.0 efforts in Europe) enters the picture. Although its key tenets are not specific to the semiconductor industry, the attention it drew to this topic triggered the formation of a SEMI Smart Manufacturing Council, which now provides a forum for thought leaders across our value chain to address these important questions.This presentation first summarizes the range of business drivers (and associated metrics) considered by the industry as expressed in the recent survey distributed by the SEMI Smart Manufacturing Council rather than focusing on a specific problem area. It then identifies a number of the solution technologies that could address the manufacturing challenges derived from the key business drivers. Finally it describes the role that standards (current and yet-to-be-defined) can play in enabling the effective deployment of solutions in a production environment.
