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 anisotropy, selectivity, and CD bias together before calling an etch condition good.
  • Use wafer location to keep uniformity visible.
  • Treat uncertainty as part of the process-window evidence, not an afterthought.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

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

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

Anisotropy increases with bias class and degrades with aspect ratio and location penalty.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Selectivity falls as bias class and aspect ratio rise.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Pass-probability proxy combines anisotropy, selectivity, and CD-bias penalties.

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, pressure, RF power, chuck temperature, endpoint, mask stack, tool model, or recipe is represented.

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

non-claim

No equipment instruction, fab integration, EHS, or production process claim is made.

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

non-claim

Real etch work needs 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

v64 deep results store every aspect-ratio, bias, location, anisotropy, selectivity, CD-bias, and pass-probability row.

evidence note

CSV export preserves the etch UQ response table.

evidence note

The process domain uses this card as a virtual-fab abstraction, not tool operation.
