Single Particle ICP-MS Applications in Advanced Semiconductor Processes
Author(s)Agilent Technologies, Inc.
Tuesday, October 19, 2021 at 2pm EDT| 1pm CDT | 11am PDT This presentation will cover two recently developed applications in two critical semiconductor processes: ultrafiltration and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). Single-particle ICP-MS has demonstrated its ability to measure, for the first time, some important attributes of these processes.

Event Overview:
Single-particle ICP-MS (spICP-MS) has the capability to size and count particles as small as sub-10 nm at ultratrace levels. It has been widely accepted as a powerful tool in many fields of study, for example single-cell analysis by mass cytometry or CyTOF, environmental analysis, and industrial nanotoxicology. Its superb sensitivity and selectivity often distinguish it from other particle analysis techniques for many applications.
This presentation will cover two recently developed applications in two critical semiconductor processes: ultrafiltration and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). Single-particle ICP-MS demonstrated its ability to advance the metrology to measure, for the first time, some important attributes of these processes. For example, spICP-MS was used to successfully measure size-exclusion retention of nanoparticles by ultrafiltration membranes, and to quantify the size changes of ceria nanoparticles before and after CMP processes. The fundamentals and applications of spICP-MS will be discussed in more detail in the presentation.

This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
