AKONIS

Fully Automated SIMS for High-Volume Semiconductor Manufacturing

 

The AKONIS SIMS tool fills a critical gap in semiconductor fabrication processes by providing high throughput, high precision detection for implant profiles, composition analysis and interfacial data to enable high-volume manufacturing. AKONIS provides a very high level of automation to ensure repeatability across tools for fab level process control and tool-to-tool matching.

AKONIS SIMS Instrument

Product Details

Complementing the IMS Wf & SC Ultra as well as the SIMS 4550 (quadrupole SIMS) used to support the semiconductor industry via characterization labs, AKONIS - with full automation of instrument set-up and acquisition routines - enables rapid, within-fab analysis without compromise in analytical sensitivity. AKONIS benefits from recent development in EXtremely Low Impact Energy (EXLIE) ionic column technology (< 150 eV), coupled with a full wafer handling system including a high resolution stage enabling measurements on pads down to 20 μm.

 

The high yield enabler on N5 and beyond

  • High resolution composition and fast dopant depth profiling of SiGe and SiP multilayer stacks

  • Unrivalled in pad detection limits down to 20 μm

  • More than 97% of time reduction to feedback data to the process line

  • Blanket and patterned full wafer measurement

  • Pattern recognition engine coupled with high resolution interferometric stage for < 2 μm position accuracy

  • Intuitive recipe creation based on unique material database

  • SEMI certified (S2/S8, E4, E5, E39, E84...)

  • Low cost of ownership
