Abstract
A method to measure line-width and line-width roughness (LWR) is presented based on the outline feature of the step scanned by AFM.Ideally, the step cross-section along the direction of the line-width is rectangle, whose area, S, is the product of height and line-width.Actually, the outline of the step cross-section is polygonal, whose area, S1, is equaled to S.The height of the profile scanned by AFM, H, is calculated by improving Tsai' s height algorithm.So, linewith, We, is calculated according to S1 and H.LWR is also calculated according to its definition as the 3σ value of linewidth variation.关键词
