One of the major challenges for process control is wafer to wafer and lot to lot variation, for the 14nm technology node and beyond. Most of advanced process control (APC) is based on product groups, and different product groups exhibit different amo

This paper will focus on the process impact of the intentional change in the mask writing grid. Grids ranging from 1nm to 4nm (defined at mask level) were used to investigate the effect on test structures in critical locations. The impact on optical

A study has been completed to investigate the imaging performance with the industry standard 6% attenuated phase shift mask. Several test structures were used to investigate the effects on line edge roughness (LER) based on the polarization state of

Aerial image measurement is a key technique for model based optical proximity correction (OPC) verification. Actual aerial images obtained by AIMS (aerial image measurement system) or WLCD (wafer level critical dimension) can detect printed wafer wea

Various types of line ends have been evaluated for either straight CPL mask or hybrid type builds. The authors will focus on image line end shortening and the impact of through dose and focus performance for very high NA ArF imaging. Simulations on t

Historical data indicates reticle write times are increasing node-to-node. The cost of mask sets is increasing driven by the tighter requirements and more levels. The regular introduction of new generations of mask patterning tools with improved perf

Reticle critical dimension uniformity (CDU) is one of the major sources of wafer CD variations which include both inter-field variations and intra-field variations. Generally, wafer critical dimension (CD) measurement sample size interfield is much l

A robust optical proximity correction (OPC) model must include process variation to be effective in volume manufacturing. Often, calibration of an OPC model is based on data from a single scanner. However, scanner and mask three dimension (3D) effect

Traditional methods of making tool selections for semiconductor manufacturing facilities tend to focus on minimizing equipment capital costs or minimizing wafer costs. A model that comprehends the effects of tool performance, product specifications,
