Curated evidence path

Deposition and interface evidence

Trace surface activation toward nucleation and interface electrical evidence, then stop before an unsupported circuit consequence.

Review question

What must replace the public deposition proxies before interface capacitance can enter a circuit claim?

Ordered evidence chain

Follow each handoff. Stop at the stop.

Node order and edge fields are fixed by the V123 contract. No page interaction generates, ranks, or extends this chain.

  1. Material / interface

    Surface activation state

    O2/O3 surface-treatment artifacts provide normalized states and no equipment setting or recipe.

    deposition-surface-state

    Evidence bridge

    surface state to nucleation or continuity

    coverage / thickness category
    Evidence class
    Proxy
    Status
    Bridge
    Assumption
    The surface and film variables are normalized teaching states without material-specific kinetics or calibrated metrology.
    Bridge condition
    Use only to identify the evidence handoff between surface preparation and film characterization.
    Limitation
    No precursor chemistry, chamber history, substrate condition, growth kinetics, physical thickness map, or interface measurement closes the relation.
    Measured replacement slot
    Before/after surface metrology, incubation-cycle evidence, thickness map, composition, roughness, uncertainty, and material genealogy.
  2. Material / interface

    Nucleation and film continuity

    Deposition artifacts expose evidence fields for nucleation, coverage, thickness, and interface review.

    deposition-film-state

    Evidence bridge

    film and interface state to C-V or leakage

    Proxy
    Status
    Bridge
    Assumption
    The deposition atlas and MOS capacitor replay use independent assumptions and are not calibrated to one material stack.
    Bridge condition
    The connection may define a measurement plan only; it may not transfer numeric values across artifacts.
    Limitation
    Interface traps, fixed charge, tunneling, quantum effects, physical film composition, calibrated optical constants, and matched structures are absent.
    Measured replacement slot
    Matched film stack with thickness/composition, C-V and I-V conditions, area, frequency, temperature, uncertainty, and device-model calibration.
  3. Device metric

    Interface C-V / leakage question

    The MOS capacitor run supplies an independent electrical model, not a calibrated deposition-to-device link.

    deposition-interface-metric

    Evidence stop

    interface capacitance or leakage to circuit behavior

    Status
    Stop
    Assumption
    No V122 metric contract maps the independent interface replay into a compact-model or circuit instance.
    Bridge condition
    Stop before delay, energy, reliability, yield, or product statements.
    Limitation
    An educational C-V result is not an extracted transistor capacitance, leakage corner, or circuit-load model.
    Measured replacement slot
    Calibrated compact model and test structures joined to a rights-cleared circuit benchmark across bias, frequency, temperature, variation, and uncertainty.
  4. Evidence stop

    Stop before circuit loading

    No baseline artifact directly correlates the public deposition state with a compact model, circuit load, or product behavior.

Path boundary

This path does not prove causality.

The navigator presents curated associations, assumptions, evidence classes, and replacement needs. It does not prove physical or statistical causality.

A stop is a product requirement, not missing UI. The page must not fill a stopped bridge with extrapolation, AI text, a recipe, an equipment setting, or an operating recommendation.

No public path authorizes process changes, equipment control, wafer disposition, qualification, signoff, product ranking, or production release.
