SIMULATION / SA-PROC-INT-ETCH-CD-DEVICE-001

Etch CD bias to DIBL and delay interactive lab
Etch CD Chain

Filter chemistry, pressure, RF power, and overetch to inspect etch-rate, CD-bias, LER, DIBL, and inverter-delay teaching proxies.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Read etch as a profile and CD transfer problem before treating it as an isolated rate number.
  • Connect CD bias and LER proxies to DIBL and inverter-delay proxies.
  • Use the page to teach why integration view has to connect pattern transfer with device and circuit outcomes.

BROWSER INTERACTIVE LAB

Filter the saved CSV. Inspect matching replay rows.

No server solver is running here. The browser filters a precomputed table and redraws the plot locally.

Each metric is normalized independently for shape inspection. Vertical positions do not compare magnitude across metrics.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The browser filters the saved CSV and redraws local plots. It does not run a plasma etch recipe, endpoint flow, equipment-control workflow, TCAD deck, or signoff circuit model.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Chemistry classes carry rate, selectivity, and anisotropy teaching coefficients, not tool-specific process settings.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

CD bias, sidewall angle, and LER proxies are generated from pressure, RF, and overetch dimensions for browser replay.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Device and circuit proxies are derived from effective gate length, DIBL, and capacitance terms for teaching chain logic.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

Browser-side filtering and nearest-row replay only; no live server solver is active.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Teaching proxy data only; not a process recipe, calibrated device model, or product qualification result.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No equipment-control workflow, PDK ingestion, private process data, upload, account, payment, comment, newsletter, or job/event workflow is enabled.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

The CSV preserves every chemistry, pressure, RF, overetch, CD, DIBL, and delay proxy used by the browser lab.

evidence note

The page is suitable for comparing directionality of tradeoffs, not for selecting etch settings.

SA-PROC-INT-ETCH-CD-DEVICE-001

evidence note

The source spine links uncertainty and DTCO context without mirroring copyrighted article text.

Public execution boundary

No server-side live ngspice execution, uploads, accounts, payments, comments, newsletter signup, or job/event submissions are active on this page.
