High‐aspect ratio contact (HARC) etching is a bottleneck step of the high‐definition organic light emitting diode (OLED) display manufacturing processes. HARC process is frequently failed during the mass production, because this requires the high‐energy ion flux and the sidewall passivation, simultaneously. To analyze the cause of HARC process failures, plasma information (PI)‐based virtual metrology (VM) algorithm was developed by using the equipment engineering system and the optical emission spectroscopy data recorded from the fab. Developed PI‐VM could predict the process faults with >90% of the accuracy, and the cause analysis function was also validated. We could suggest a right solution to the failure, and more efficient management of the OLED display manufacturing was possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
