Technical Information Magazine 202305-02 In-situ Heating TEM
Using in-situ heating TEM, we introduce a case study that visualizes structural changes in materials at the nanometer level during thermal processing of semiconductor devices, contributing to process development.
The technical information magazine The TRC News provides the latest information on analytical techniques that are useful for research and development, solving production troubles, and quality control. **Abstract** In the development and manufacturing of semiconductor devices, understanding the structural changes of materials during thermal processing is extremely important. By using heating in-situ TEM, it is possible to visualize the thermal behavior of materials during heat treatment at the nanometer level, gaining new insights into structural changes that can aid in process development such as film quality control. This paper introduces case studies using heating in-situ TEM to analyze (1) the crystallization growth mechanism of amorphous silicon films in conjunction with crystal structure analysis, (2) the thermal behavior of metal stacked films in conjunction with elemental analysis, and (3) the observation of the crystallization growth process of thin film ruthenium films in a planar configuration. **Table of Contents** 1.
