Description
多項式次数と相関係数との関係を調べた。具体的には、直径300mmのシリコンウェーハ(以下、ウェーハという)を3枚準備して、各ウェーハの厚み形状を、KLA−Tencor社製のフラットネス測定機「WaferSight2」により測定した。なお、WaferSight2は、ウェーハに光を入射し、ウェーハからの反射光と基準面からの反射光との光学干渉によって生じる干渉縞の数と幅から、ウェーハ表面の変位量を計測することを原理とする測定機である。
直径300mmのシリコンウェーハ(以下、ウェーハという)を15枚準備して、各ウェーハに対して図1の手順にしたがって関数化を行い、得られた関数から求まる厚みマップと、測定機から出力された厚みマップとを比較した。具体的には、各ウェーハの厚み形状を、KLA−Tencor社製のフラットネス測定機「WaferSight2」により測定した。
