Abstract

A careful calibration of a continuum process simulator is normally required to achieve a good agreement between simulated results and experimental dopant profiles. However, the validity of such a calibration procedure is often limited to a particular technology. By taking into account a number of physics-based models and experimental results available in literature, the predicting capability of the process simulation has been conveniently improved. In particular, this paper shows how concentration-depth profiles from two different CMOS technologies have been successfully reproduced with a unique set of fitting parameters.
