SIMULATION / SA-PROC-UQ-002-PLASMA-ETCH-HET-UQ-001

Plasma etch heteroscedastic UQ
Etch Het-UQ

Replay aspect ratio, wafer zone, and normalized bias class to see why etch uncertainty grows across the wafer instead of staying constant.

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
  • Compare center, mid-radius, and edge rows before trusting a single etch trend.
  • Read uncertainty sigma beside anisotropy, selectivity, and CD bias.
  • Treat the optimizer score as a caution flag, not a recipe recommendation.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

This page replays saved plasma etch UQ data and does not run a plasma tool, chamber model, recipe, endpoint workflow, or optimizer service.

Saved outputs

  • Anisotropy index

METHODS

How the number was made.

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

method

A normalized response surface makes anisotropy rise with bias while aspect ratio and edge position add penalties.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Uncertainty sigma grows with wafer-zone penalty, feature aspect ratio, and distance from nominal bias.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

The safe optimizer score penalizes uncertainty so the best row is not chosen by nominal pass probability alone.

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

No gas chemistry, RF power, pressure, chuck temperature, endpoint signal, mask stack, or process recipe is represented.

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

non-claim

No equipment instruction, qualification claim, or production process decision is made.

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

non-claim

Real use requires DOE, CD-SEM/profile metrology, selectivity measurement, wafer maps, and process-owner review.

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 dataset stores every aspect-ratio, wafer-zone, bias-class, uncertainty, and optimizer-score row.

evidence note

The lesson route frames optimization as evidence literacy, not tool operation.
