Competencies semiconductor industry

Statics ⇒ stress, stiffness, tolerances, deformation, force path

Dynamics ⇒ vibration, damping, mass, stick-slip, mode shapes, eigen frequencies

Kinematics ⇒ DOF, rigid body systems, acceleration, inertia, set point, friction

Thermal ⇒ conductivity, convection, radiation, thermo-mechanics

Fluid dynamics ⇒ Air-bearing stiffness and loads, low vacuum, contaminations, flow induced vibrations

Production of chips: lithographic processFor 175 wafers/hour: huge power required heatDissipated heat can lead to errors in chips:

Lithographic process

Process chips: features of O(45 nm)

Total allowable error: O(15 nm)

Specific allowable error: O(1 nm)

Deformations

Wafer + table deform due to thermal expansionWafer pressed onto chuckChuck deformsPositioning is affected

Questions:o

Wafer deformations?o

Design improvements?

Keep in mind: mirrors, needed for positioning, are also deformed
