🔍 Spotting a “Second Growth Front” in ALD Trenches Chipmetrics has identified a previously unseen second growth front forming at the closed end of the trench and advances toward the entrance, meeting the primary front in the middle. This matters because conventional top-down metrology can miss it, risking hidden non-uniformity in HAR structures. With our PillarHall test chips, engineers can now detect both growth fronts, optimize pulse/purge strategies, and gain tighter control in advanced 3D device fabrication.

Pääsin hiljattain vieraaksi Signaali-podcastiin, jossa keskustelimme Chipmetricsin teknologiasta ja roolista puolijohdeteollisuuden tulevaisuudessa. Keskustelussa käsittelimme mm.: • Miksi metrologia on ratkaisevaa uusien 3D-sirurakenteiden valmistuksessa • Miten Chipmetricsin testisirut, kuten PillarHall, tarjoavat nopeaa ja tarkkaa mittausdataa tutkimuksen ja prosessinhallinnan tueksi • Mitä mahdollisuuksia ja haasteita globaali puolijohdeteollisuus tuo suomalaiselle teknologiayritykselle • Euroopan asemaa ja merkitystä osana sirujen toimitusketjuja ja geopoliittista kokonaisuutta On hyvä nähdä, että suomalainen erikoisosaaminen saa huomiota myös tällaisissa keskusteluissa. Kiitos Signaalille mahdollisuudesta avata aihetta laajemmalle yleisölle. Linkki podcastiin kommenteissa.

🚀 Unlocking Bottleneck Effects in 3D Semiconductor Structures As semiconductor devices evolve into ever more complex 3D architectures, one hidden challenge continues to limit progress: bottlenecks in high aspect ratio (HAR) structures. These bottlenecks can disrupt ALD conformality, slow down process development, and compromise device reliability. 🔍 In our latest blog post, we explore how PillarHall test chip provides a powerful experimental platform to study and quantify bottleneck effects. By combining targeted ALD experiments with advanced modeling, we demonstrate how engineers can: ✅ Diagnose bottleneck impacts earlier ✅ Fine-tune process recipes faster ✅ Bring next-generation HAR devices to market with more confidence 👇 Read the full article from the link in comments #ALDep #PillarHall #TestedWithPillarHall #Chipmetrified #Semiconductor
