Abstract

The presence of inhomogeneous distribution of defects in GaAs wafers strongly limits the reproductivity of IC fabrication processes. In this paper, we report for the first time a Fourier Transformation Image Testing approach, called FTTT, for the two dimensional evaluation of the disorder in a wafer, as it appears in infrared transmission images. The fourier analysis of the cell struchture reveals a dominant statistical rectangular organization of the dislocations along 〈110〉 and 〈010〉 directions. The definitions of α and β in the paper are typical of the organization of the cells to evaluate quantitatively properties of IC materials.
