Silicon Photonics design layouts require use of curved shapes, since many of the structures built to route light through silicon are designed to curve smoothly to minimize the loss of signal strength. The design-to-silicon flow involves steps like De

Photomask Technology 2019.
With 193nm optical lithography being extended to 12nm design rules and beyond, quality and performance requirements for photomasks are becoming increasingly challenged to support the increased pattern complexity. Additionally, interactions between ma

Downscaling of critical dimensions in semiconductor circuits has been pushing photolithography to print features below the wavelength of the light source. However, severe optical proximity effects and small depth of focus (DOF) for isolated lines hav

In this paper, we have systematically investigated the dependencies of k1 on illumination conditions such as coherence setting and opening angle in off-axis illumination scheme. As result, conventional Rayleigh's equations are not sufficient to addre

A methodology is described wherein a calibrated model-based ‘Virtual’ Variable Shaped Beam (VSB) mask writer process simulator is used to accurately verify complex Optical Proximity Correction (OPC) and Inverse Lithography Technology (ILT) mask d

Shrinking feature sizes and the need for tighter CD (Critical Dimension) control require the introduction of new technologies in mask making processes. One of those methods is the dose assignment of individual shots on VSB (Variable Shaped Beam) mask

In this paper we discuss the EUV OPC modeling challenges and potential solutions, as well as OPC integration requirements to support the forthcoming application of EUV lithography. 10-nm-node OPC modeling is considered as an example. Wafer and mask p

The 50keV ebeam exposure of EUV blanks leads to additional electron backscattering from the tantalum layer and the mirror portion of the blank substrate that cannot be adequately corrected by in-tool algorithms. Coupling this additional backscatter w

Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography IV.
Several methods are evaluated to improve the accuracy of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography OPC models by including additional physical effects which are not commonly used in deep ultraviolet (DUV) OPC. The primary additions to the model in this w
