Metrology Of Thin Resist For High NA EUVL
By Nova - 16 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

One of the many constrains of high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet lithography (High NA EUVL) is related to resist thickness. In fact, one of the consequences of moving from current 0.33NA to 0.55NA (high NA) is the depth of focus (DOF) reduction. In addition, as the resist feature lines shrink down to 8nm half pitch, it is essential to limit the aspect ratio to avoid pattern collapse. T... » read more

Investigation of the Resistivity and Emissivity of a Pellicle Membrane for EUV Lithography
By Technical Paper Link - 01 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

New technical paper from Hanyang University and University of Texas at Dallas. Abstract "A pellicle is a thin membrane structure that protects an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask from contamination during the exposure process. However, its limited transmittance induces unwanted heating owing to the absorption of EUV photons. The rupture of the EUV pellicle can be avoided by improving its ther... » read more

Thin Film Characterization For Advanced Patterning
By Brewer Science - 18 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Authors: Zhimin Zhu; Xianggui Ye; Sean Simmons; Catherine Frank; Tim Limmer; James Lamb Brewer Science, Inc. (United States) A variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometer (VASE) is an essential tool for measuring the thickness of a thin film, as well as its n and k optical parameters. However, for films thinner than 10 nm, precise measurement is very challenging. In this paper, the root cause... » read more

Ion Beam Sputtering Deposition of Fluoride Thin Films
By Veeco - 12 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

By Aiko Ode, Veeco Instruments Thin film coatings for deep UV wavelengths are predominately produced by evaporation methods (thermal and Ebeam). Factors limiting the performance of evaporated films include surface roughness, porosity, absorption, and defect density. To enhance the films, they are typically deposited at high substrate temperatures (above 300°C.) The thermal stress created u... » read more
