Experiments show that using machine learning and neural networks for oxide deposition profile modeling for these and other CMP processes is a promising and exciting use of this technology.
Most IC manufacturers use CMP modeling to detect potential hotspots as part of their DFM flow. However, building physics-based or compact models for FCVD and eHARP CMP processes has proven challenging, since these processes include several deposition and annealing steps to fill up trenches.
