High Resolution Raman Temperature Measurements Presented by R. Aaron Falk, Ph.D.

Introduction z What

is Raman Temperature Probe? z What is Raman Temperature Probe value to IC fabrication? z QFI Raman Temperature Probe capability

Raman Spectroscopy z

Raleigh Scattering Most photons scatter elastically from atoms – no energy change

z

Raman Scattering Less than 1 in a million photons scatter inelastically – gaining or losing energy from vibration states

z

Crystalline semiconductors typically have one strong Raman line at a shift of 300 – 1000 cm-1

z

Line center shifts of 0.01 to 0.03 cm-1 per degree centigrade occur

z

Line width and intensity also shift with temperature – but are typically not as reliable/accurate of an indicator.
