Popis: SiC/Au masks have been used for the fabrication of half-micron devices by SOR-based X-ray lithography. To meet the high demands on overlay accuracy we have used rigid SiC-membranes combined with a stress reduced Au-absorber for X-ray mask fabrication. Thus pattern placement accuracy of the e-beam written master masks for the four lithographic levels is better than 150 nm (3σ) over an exposure field of 2x2cm 2 . The high optical transparency of SiC-masks will result in an alignment accuracy of ±50 nm. The performance of the fabricated NMOS-devices with an effective gatelength L eff = 0.5 μm is demonstrated by the driving capability of 153 μS/μm in the saturation region. The transistors are adequately turned off at zero gate bias and show negligible short channel effects.
