Abstract
A method for preventing a target film deposited on a wafer in production from cracking after a post annealing procedure is disclosed. The method is performed by previously determining a crack limit before the target film is deposited on the wafer in production. The crack limit is determined by adopting and adjusting the thermal shrinkage rates of a plurality of target films deposited on bare wafers and annealed. After the crack limit is determined, a system-adjusting step and a reconfirmation step are performed, if necessary, to make sure the system conditions determined by the test results on bare wafers are suitably applied to the production wafers to prevent from film cracking. Moreover, the instrumental conditions can be inspected and tuned accordingly.
