Real-time AMC monitoring system Vocus CI-TOFMS

Real-time monitoring for airborne molecular contaminants

Sensitive and rapid detection of the airborne molecular contaminants (AMC) presenting in semiconductor manufacturing facilities is extremely important for manufacturing quality and efficiency. There are hundreds of independent processes in manufacturing that can be sources of contamination, such as ventilation systems, leaks, device failures, and human emissions. AMC is comprised of various chemical compound classes that are not comprehensively measured by traditional monitoring techniques. Additionally, as node miniaturization progresses, the presence of trace concentrations (less than 10 pptv) of AMC has a significant impact on wafer defects, leading to lower yields.

Real-time AMC monitoring system

AMCs have very different physical and chemical properties and interact and react uniquely with surfaces and other compounds. Due to the complexity of AMC configurations, modern monitoring systems must comprehensively measure a wide range of compounds spanning multiple chemical functionalities and vapor pressure ranges with sufficient speed and sensitivity.
Traditional AMC monitoring solutions often require multiple sensors to adequately measure the entire list of compounds that need to be monitored. TOFWERK's real-time AMC monitoring instrument Vocus CI-TOFMS (Chemical Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer) provides robust and simultaneous measurement of multiple AMC categories in one solution
