Demanding sub-45 nm node lithographic methodologies such as double patterning (DPT) pose significant challenges for overlay metrology. In this paper, we investigate scatterometry methods as an alternative approach to meet these stringent new metrolog

We have developed a unique resist stabilization process for double patterning that uses 172 nm UV curing to 'freeze' a first photoresist pattern prior to application and patterning of a second photoresist film. 172 nm cure offers many potential advan

Scatterometry techniques are used to characterize the CD uniformity, focus and dose control, as well as the image contrast of a hyper-NA immersion lithography scanner. Results indicate very good scanner control and stability of these parameters, as w

A method is presented to determine a transfer function for line edge roughness (LER) from the photoresist pattern through the etch process into the underlying material, such as a polysilicon gate. The image fading technique was employed to determine

As line edge roughness (LER) becomes one of the critical lithography challenges, there is a growing interest in applying surface conditioner solutions during post-develop process to reduce LER. In this paper, we evaluated the combined effect of surfa

In this paper we present a method to characterize scattered light in lithography scanners based on the measurement of the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the lens. This method provides a description of scattered light at all length scales, or s

In this work, we demonstrate a resolution enhancement technique for DUV lithography in which the light source spectrum is modified in order to improve the imaging performance of given device patterns. With this technique, termed RELAX, the imaging de

Previous work has demonstrated the dependence of photoresist line edge roughness (LER) on the image-log-slope of the aerial image over a wide range of conditions; however, this relationship does not describe the influence of other factors such as pho

A technique was developed to investigate the role of aerial image contrast and image-log-slope (ILS) on the resulting magnitude of line edge roughness (LER) in resist with the goal of determining if the minimization of LER in current state-of-the-art

As critical dimensions in microlithography become ever smaller and the importance of line edge roughness becomes more pronounced, it is becoming increasingly important to gain a fundamental understanding of how the chemical composition of modern phot
