Since the introduction of 248 and 193 nm lithography sub-pellicle contamination has been a significant problem and a major contributor to reticle costs and semiconductor yield losses. The most common contaminant identified has been ammonium sulfate c

In this paper, we will describe the design and performance of a new mask lithography tool, the ALTA-3000 system produced by Etec System, Inc. The introduction of both step-and-repeat reduction wafer lithography and raster-scanned electron beam mask l

Historically, photomask and wafer cleaning have been considered trivial tasks. The primary challenge had been simply the removal of particles that may have an impact on final product yield. As wavelengths decrease and energy on the image plane of the

Back (glass) side haze on photomasks has been previously reported and continues to present problems in many fabs throughout the industry. While some process changes have resulted in the reduction in both the occurrences and rate at which back side ha

Cost of ownership projections have often been used to determine the potential costs associated with the introduction of novel lithography applications. While they are often controversial and their accuracy or usefulness are a function of the validity

Over the last decade SEMATECH has provided significant guidance in predicting mask costs and their potential effects on the cost of manufacturing semiconductors. Additionally, these projections have been used to appropriately fund activities that cou

The progressive mask defect problem is an industry-wide mask reliability issue. Even if masks are determined to be clean upon arrival from the mask supplier, some of these masks can show catastrophic defect growth over the course of production usage

Progressive mask defect problems such as crystal growth or haze are key yield limiters at DUV lithography, especially in 300mm fabs. With the high energy photons involved in DUV lithography and large wafer size requiring longer continuous exposure of
