Popis: 157 nm has been explored as a lithographic technology for several years on small field imaging tools with encouraging results. Significant progress has occurred in tool platform design, resist performance, and optical material quality. However, a major test of a new lithography comes when full field, scanned images can be produced as this becomes a crucial test of system performance and uniformity. We report on early results from a 22 mm x 26 mm (slot x scan) field Micrascan VII 157 nm lithography scanner obtained using a binary reticle. In addition, a full field alternating phase shift reticle was fabricated on modified fused silica1 and used to extend the imaging capability. Resolution and uniformity data from both reticles will be presented. The lithographic performance will also be compared to simulations using predicted performance from the scanner.
