The figure shows a Raman image of an M-shaped shallow trench isolation (STI), a common processing technique in microelectronics. The colour scheme maps the position of the 520 cm-1 silicon peak, with compressive and tensile stress; coloured red black respectively.

A key issue in the rapidly evolving world of microelectronics is quality control during miniaturisation processes. One of the principal hurdles to overcome is strain-induced failure arising from lattice mismatch among different materials, different thermal expansion coefficients, sharp patterning, and device re- scaling. The ability of Raman microscopy to monitor stress, and other parameters such as surface/device temperature, make it an effective tool throughout the semiconductor device manufacturing process, starting with R&D through to the production line.
