Abstract
A method for recycling monitoring control wafers includes cleaning the wafers after performing a sheet resistance (Rs) measurement on a bare silicon monitoring control wafer of an ion implanter, and then converting the wafer into a recyclable control wafer. A recyclable control wafer for a thermal wave (TW) measurement of destruction can be obtained by forming a screen layer on the wafer, performing a TW measurement, performing ion implantation by the monitoring recipe, performing TW measurement again, performing ion drive-in to drive implanted ions into the deeper areas of the substrate, removing the screen layer, and then forming another screen layer on the wafer to put the wafer into the recycling process of a TW measurement.
