    Abstract: A novel test device and method for calibrating the alignment of a laser beam emitted from a laser metrology tool with respect to a target area on a substrate. The test device includes a laser-sensitive material having a calibration pattern that includes a target point. When the tool is properly adjusted, the laser beam strikes the target point and is released to production. If the laser beam misses the target point, the tool is re-adjusted and re-tested until the laser beam strikes the target point.

    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for reducing slurry usage in a chemical mechanical polishing operation utilizing at least one polishing pad thereof. Slurry can be intermittently supplied to a chemical mechanical polishing device. The slurry is generally flushed so that a portion of said slurry is trapped in a plurality of pores of at least one polishing pad associated with said chemical mechanical polishing device, wherein only a minimum amount of said slurry necessary is utilized to perform said chemical mechanical polishing operation, thereby reducing slurry usage and maintaining a consistent level of slurry removal rate performance and a decrease in particle defects thereof. The present invention thus discloses a method and system for intermittently delivering slurry to a chemical mechanical polishing device in a manner that significantly conserves slurry usage.

    Abstract: A process for fabricating a tungsten plug, in a deep, small diameter opening, featuring a novel adhesive-barrier composite layer, located along the sides of the deep, small diameter opening, has been developed. The process features the use of a first titanium nitride barrier layer, deposited on an underlying titanium adhesive layer, via chemical vapor deposition procedures, used to enhance the conformality properties of the first titanium nitride barrier layer. A second titanium nitride barrier layer is then deposited, via plasma vapor deposition procedures, protecting the underlying CVD titanium nitride layer from the environment, while providing an improved surface for subsequent nucleation of a CVD tungsten layer.
