Summary
Plasma induced wafer arcing is sensitive to hardware condition as well as wafer surface structure, such as pattern layout, feature density and wafer edge roughness

The effect of photoresist edge roughness on plasma induced wafer arcing

The higher the feature density, the greater the wafer arcing risk

The plasma induced wafer is sensitive to hardware condition as well as pattern layout

Active diode test structure sensitivity to plasma doping induced wafer arcing

Too much charge accumulation on oxide causes oxide breakdown, resulting in wafer arcing

Antenna test structure sensitivity to plasma doping induced wafer arcing

Plasma induced charging is responsible for wafer arcing. Therefore, good control of plasma induced surface charging can avoid wafer arcing. The wafer arcing is sensitive to the antenna test structure
