Demand for ever increasing level of microelectronics integration continues unabated, driving the reduction of the integrated circuit critical dimensions, and escalating requirements for image overlay and pattern dimension control. The challenges to m

Source Mask Optimization (SMO) is one of the most important techniques available for extending ArF immersion lithography1. However, imaging with a small k12 factor (~0.3 or smaller) is very sensitive to errors in the illumination pupil2. As a result,

The practical extendibility of immersion lithography to the 45nm half-pitch is being investigated on a 1.30NA immersion projection microstepper installed at SEMATECH North in Albany, New York. Preliminary implementation of various aperture designs an

Over the years process development engineers found creative ways to extent the capabilities of existing imaging techniques to enable production of the next technology node. For the 45nm node the immersion technology is being prepared for production,

Polarization dependent diffraction efficiencies in transmission through gratings on specially designed masks with pitch comparable to the wavelength were measured using an angle-resolved scatterometry apparatus with a 193 nm excimer source. Four mask

Selective strong phase shift mask techniques, whereby a phase-shift mask exposure is followed by a binary mask exposure to define a single pattern, present unique capabilities and problems. First, there is the proper exposure balance and alignment of

The evaluation of 'future' SRAM designs often involves aggressive patterning techniques. This is especially true for the prototyping stage of a product because the target 'production' tools are either unavailable or suffer from immature processes. Th

The recent development of lithographic resolution enhancement techniques of optical proximity correction (OPC) and phase shift masks (PSM) enable sprinting critical dimension (CD) features that are significantly smaller than the exposure wavelength.

Defect printability was investigated to assess the reticle defect size tolerance for 0.50 micrometers wafer lithography through the study of programmed reticle defect within line/space pairs. Improvement in the recent generation of steppers with high

The effectiveness of two methods of optical proximity correction based on feature biasing and subresolution assisting features is compared by simulation and experiments. Parameters examined are overlapping focus- exposure windows for dense lines, sem
