Presentation Guidelines

The one-hour ERC TeleSeminars are presented every other Thursday with information and presentation posted below (PDF).  Presentations are also posted at our new partner site, SemiNeedle (www.semineedle.com/ERCseminars), where in addition to accessing the presentation you can ask questions and add comments on the presentation and connect with presenters and other attendees.

CURRENT & UPCOMING TELESEMINAR PRESENTATIONS -- 2009:
Presentation Time:  
11:00AM PDT / 11:00AM PDT (Arizona) / 12:00 MDT / 1:00PM CDT / 2:00PM EDT
July 9 Host:  Srini Raghavan, Materials Science & Engineering, University of Arizona
Presentation by:  Jeff Butterbaugh, Chief Technologist, FSI International
Topic title:  "Steam-Injected SPM Process for All-Wet Stripping of Implanted Photoresist"
Abstract:   Photoresist stripping in IC manufacturing has become an increasingly challenging process as the number of photoresist levels has increased simultaneously with a decrease in acceptable levels of material loss and surface damage. Heavily implanted photoresist is especially challenging due to the tough layer of dehydrogenated, amorphous carbon that forms on the surface. Implanted photoresist can be removed by exposing the surface layer to the aggressive chemical/physical action of a dry plasma ashing. This kind of physical process, however, can lead to surface damage and increased material loss.  An alternative approach is to increase the reactivity of the sulfuric acid –“ hydrogen peroxide mixture (SPM), so that it can penetrate and dissolve the amorphous carbon layer and achieve complete photoresist removal.  In a novel approach, steam is absorbed by SPM at the wafer surface significantly increasing the chemical temperature while avoiding excessive dilution.

Please mute your phone during the speaker's presentation to eliminate unnecessary noise over the phone lines; disengage mute for Q&A. 
If you do NOT have a mute button on your phone, use *6 to engage mute during the presentation, then *6 (again) to disengage.
~ Disengage call waiting (check local phone directory for instructions). 
~ Do not put the conference call on hold; "hold audio" will be disruptive to other call participants. 
~ For best sound quality when using speaker phones, face the microphone when speaking; mute the phone/microphones when not speaking.
~
If possible, avoid using cellular or cordless phones which may cause unnecessary feedback or noise during the conference
July 23 Host:  Duane Boning, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Presentation bySarah Jane White, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The SRC/SEMATECH Engineering Research Center for Environmentally Benign Semiconductor Manufacturing (ERC) biweekly TeleSeminar Series is hosted by Center member universities:  University of Arizona; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Stanford University; University of California-Berkeley; Arizona State University; Cornell University; Tufts University; Columbia University; University of Massachusetts; University of Washington; University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill; University of Wisconsin; and University of Texas/Dallas. 

The ERC TeleSeminars are presented biweekly and are available to participating ERC institutions, industries, and all interested parties and invited guests.  The TeleSeminars, presented by ERC PIs, ERC graduate students, and invited academic and industrial guest speakers, focus on specific research efforts within current Center research relevant to the Center's mission.

The dial-in telephone number and participant code is posted with each TeleSeminar (above) as well as in all e-announcements. If you would like to be added to our distribution list, please contact the Center. If you should experience problems with any portion of the dial-in process the day of presentation, please call 520-626-5259 or 520-621-6051 (University of Arizona) for assistance.

Archived presentation materials are available to Center industrial and university members only and require a password to access.  Contact Karen McClure for more information.
