(Dielectric Science and Technology Division Poster Award, 1st Place) The Influence of Pad Micro-Features on Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) Performance: Insights from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

With semiconductor chip dimensions shrinking below 7 nanometers, Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) becomes more critical [1], [2]. To meet the increasing demand for precision and uniformity in the fabrication of wafers and chips, enhancements in CMP consumables and operating conditions are necessary. To address these requirements, novel pad designs have been developed, particularly those that do not require conditioning [3]. It is known that the CMP polishing rate depends on pressure, pad wafer relative velocity, and the distribution of pad asperities [4]. As conventional pads provide small and random contact areas, the external pressure applied by the head determines the material removal rate (MRR) [5] Advanced pads with micro-features provide more contact areas and help deliver consistent pressure and slurry distribution during Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) [6], [7]. This study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the flow between pad and wafer surfaces to determine how pad surface micro-features affect the CMP process. The abrasive residence time, total fluid pressure, and slurry flow velocity are evaluated for four distinct pad micro-feature geometries: square, square-circle, circle, and ellipse. Increasing the number of edges in the pad micro-feature patterns increases pressure drop, leading to more interaction between pad and slurry and enhancement of MRR. The findings of this study confirm the effectiveness of micro-featured pads in optimizing CMP processes and provide valuable insights into the influence of microfeature geometries on critical parameters for improving the semiconductor fabrication process.[1] J.

Bridging Technology and Environment: Sustainable Approaches in Semiconductor Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP)

As semiconductor technologies continue to advance in areas such as autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, 5G communications, the Internet of Things, and large-scale data processing, the demand for a reliable semiconductor industry is on the rise.(1) This growing demand necessitates the use of advanced device architectures, which heavily rely on two crucial processes: Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) and post-CMP cleaning.(2) This talk will focus on the development of CMP slurries and post-CMP cleaning solutions, emphasizing their vital roles in these processes. We will delve into the comprehensive development of CMP slurries and post-CMP cleaning solutions, highlighting how synthesis methods can significantly affect the surface chemistry of ceria abrasives and impact the removal rates of SiO2 surfaces during STI CMP.(3, 4) Our research also demonstrates how our cleaning solutions can effectively remove even the most 10 nm-sized ceria particles from SiO2 surfaces,(5) thereby enhancing process efficiency. Furthermore, we will discuss the use of aliphatic amino acids as environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors in CMP slurries, offering a sustainable alternative to the traditionally used benzotriazole (BTA) and addressing key environmental challenges.(6) In the context of the rapidly expanding semiconductor industry, it becomes critical to address global sustainability concerns and environmental health and safety (EHS) objectives. Our research proposes a comprehensive methodology for evaluating the sustainability of CMP consumables in semiconductor manufacturing, with a primary focus on CMP slurries due to their significant market share and shorter usage lifetimes. This research serves as a foundation for future CMP sustainability analyses, encouraging self-correction strategies within the CMP community to reduce environmental impact. We will also introduce a robust framework for the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of CMP consumables, marking a crucial step toward achieving these sustainability goals. In summary, this talk will explore the intricate details of CMP and post-CMP processes, their pivotal roles in the advancement of semiconductor manufacturing, and the imperative task of aligning these processes with environmental and sustainability objectives.This talk is dedicated to the special session in honor of Prof. Babu.

Surface Engineered Ni-Fe Foam As a Bi-Functional Electrode for Water Electrolysis in Alkaline Media

Using fossil fuels as a main source of energy has resulted in various environmentally hazardous effects, including global warming, climate change, and environmental pollution. Consequently, the development of a sustainable and clean source of energy became of urgent need. Water electrolysis has captured considerable attention as the main technology of hydrogen fuel production. It is particularly enticing due to its eco-friendliness and sustainability. Self-supported electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have prominent roles in water electrolysis. Growing self-supported metal oxides, hydroxides1, phosphates2, sulfides3, etc. that possess high electrical conductivity, electrocatalytic activity, and structural stability have attracted attention lately. FeNi-based catalysts are considered one of the most promising electrocatalysts for water electrolysis in alkaline solutions. However, improving their catalytic activity and stability is one of the research targets before further practical applications. Nickel foam is widely used as a self-supported electrocatalyst due to its high surface area, low cost, and exceptional catalytic activity, with several studies focused on the deposition of nickel-iron materials on nickel foam for the development of a bifunctional catalyst for water electrolysis4. However, very few studies used NiFe mesh or foam to grow a self-supported catalyst material5.In this study, surface-engineered NiFe foam electrodes were developed by facile control of the Ni/Fe surface ratio via chemical leaching and oxidation with NaOH and NaClO4 followed by electrochemical activation, aiming to design a bifunctional electrocatalyst for both OER and HER. Results revealed that varying the ratios of NaOH and NaClO4 induced significant alterations to the surface composition (different Ni/Fe), and hence the active sites for OER and HER. The physicochemical and structural properties of the NiFe foam were characterized using glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Further, the catalytic activity of the modified electrode was assessed utilizing cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, chronopotentiometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Investigating Slurry Flow Patterns in Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) Using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Simulations

Chemical Mechanical Polishing has emerged as a leading area approach for planarizing wafer surfaces during semiconductor manufacturing due to its ability to provide defect-free and uniform surfaces. Achieving nanoscale planarity on a wafer and die is one of the most significant steps in the process [1]. As part of the CMP process, it is essential to understand the interactions between consumables to facilitate the production of smooth and mirror-like surfaces [2], [3]. Simulation and numerical modeling have become critical means for elucidating intricate flow patterns to probe the underlying fundamentals of CMP processes. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations provide a detailed understanding of fluid flow behavior for various conditions [4], [5]. This study uses a three-dimensional CFD simulation to provide an understanding of the slurry flow pattern and its effects on CMP performance. Several CFD simulations were performed to study the effect of different parameters on slurry flow patterns. The simulations provided information on the interaction between the slurry, the wafer surface, and the polishing pad, in addition to the abrasive distribution, slurry velocity, and pressure variations within the CMP tool. It was observed that changing the pad and wafer rotation speeds, the wafer-pad gap size and the center-to-center distance affect the slurry flow conditions. For the same rotational speeds, as the center-to-center distance decreases, the flow velocity increases toward the wafer edge. Moreover, with the same rotation speed, the pad rotation dominates the wafer rotation speed.[1] B. Suryadevara, Advances in Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP). Woodhead Publishing, 2021.[2] J.

Recovery From Inner Child

The phenomenon of inner child or childhood experiences is one of the factors that shapes a person's character. Everyone experiences their own inner child to varying degrees and with different impacts. Family conflicts experienced during childhood, harsh treatment or words received by parents during childhood can have the impact of painful emotional wounds on a child who becomes an inner child. Parenting style is an important factor in the formation of an inner child. Parenting is the interaction between parents and children, what is the attitude or behavior of parents when interacting with children, for example how to set rules, teach normative values, provide attention and affection and show good attitudes and behavior so that they become role models and role models for children. -his son. The research aims to review one of the factors causing mental health disorders, namely the inner child and how the book of Isa reconciles and escapes the negative influence of the inner child based on research journals that have been conducted previously. The method used in this research is the Literature Review research method.. The result requires self-awareness of the inner child within oneself and this will help to reprogram one's conscious mind to be more adaptable to current life. Try to make peace with the existence of your inner child so you can live a more positive and happy life. This inner child cannot be considered trivial because it can have a negative impact on the person's personality and a solution needs to be found, so that it doesn't happen again in future generations, because if this inner child is not cured it will become a chain of inner children that will continue to repeat itself in the next generation..

CONFLICT AT SCHOOL: SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT AS SPACE AND RECEPTION/MEDIATION AND TEACHER INTERVENTIONS IN THE LEARNING RELATIONSHIP

The present work arose from the report of several experiences lived by us as interns and even as teachers, such experiences made us reflect on the importance of the existence of a conflict mediator in the school context, considering that these conflicts will always exist, because where there is more than one thinking head there will be divergence of opinions. However, in the absence of the possibility of field research, the content was removed through bibliographic research, articles, books and scientific journals. As such, several opinions were found on how these conflicts arose; how the environment in which the student lives interferes as a cause; and like the school, the teacher or even the student himself can exercise his role as a mediator. The practice of group activities such as games or scavenger hunts was questioned in order to encourage social interaction, but it was still not enough. In view of this, we observe that it is necessary to insert the curriculum of the educator, who may, in the future, assume other functions such as: supervisor, coordinator and even manager; the theme that both intrinsic and extrinsic conflicts will always exist and that not only academic training will be necessary, but also dynamics of living mainly with parents or guardians, and that such dynamics can be carried out through extra-curricular activities that manage to insert them and welcome them also at school. In this way, the school and the community will work together with the same objective as the formation of the student in a healthy and welcoming environment.

Scientific misconduct responsibility attribution: An empirical study on byline position and team identity in Chinese medical papers.

The primary objective of this inquiry was to explore the nexus between authorship attribution in medical literature and accountability for scientific impropriety while assessing the influence of authorial multiplicity on the severity of sanctions imposed. Probit regression models were employed to scrutinize the impact of authorship on assuming accountability for scientific misconduct, and unordered multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the influence of authorship and the number of bylines on the severity of punitive measures. First authors and corresponding authors were significantly more likely to be liable for scientific misconduct than other authors and were more likely to be penalized particularly severely. Furthermore, a negative correlation was observed between the number of authors' affiliations and the severity of punitive measures. Authorship exerts a pronounced influence on the attribution of accountability in scientific research misconduct, particularly evident in the heightened risk of severe penalties confronting first and corresponding authors owing to their principal roles. Hence, scientific research institutions and journals must delineate authorship specifications meticulously, ascertain authors' contributions judiciously, bolster initiatives aimed at fostering scientific research integrity, and uphold an environment conducive for robust scientific inquiry.

Komunikasi Strategis Lobi dan Negosiasi dalam Upaya Peredaman Konflik Agraria Desa Pakel, Banyuwangi

Land is an important part of human life. Therefore, the state as the highest organization is obliged to provide people's agrarian rights. However, until now, agrarian conflicts still haunt the affected communities. An example is Pakel Village, Banyuwangi, where most of the area is still controlled by the colonial plantation authorities and Perhutani. The conflict, which started in 1993, then re-emerged in 2012 and continued in 2017 until now. Until now there has been no clear solution and the state has not been able to fulfill its promise. Neither legally nor has it been able to provide a protective umbrella that can guarantee the Pakel community. This research aims to analyze conflict and how strategic communication can reduce agrarian disputes in Pakel Village. The research is descriptive qualitative type. Data collection techniques in this research were obtained through literature study or library research through journal research article sources and online news. The research results reveal several stages of strategic communication that can be pursued in the process of reducing agrarian conflict, namely: (1) consolidating internal parties related to conflict resolution; (2) conducting mediation involving all parties involved in the conflict; and (3) involving stakeholders in conflict resolution. Consolidation is a communication process, where all parties are involved in high intensity discussions. The mediation process is also part of the communication strategy in resolving agrarian conflicts. Through this consolidation and mediation, the government as the guarantor of law and justice or what we can call a mediator can map the point of origin of the conflict, the actors involved, the magnitude of the losses, as well as the strategies and tactics for resolving it.
