IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 2000-03-07
Abstract: Aux fins de l'invention, l'imagerie et l'impression lithographique à ultra-haute résolution s'entend de la réduction de la taille des éléments imprimés résultant de l'application d'une polarisation, ce qui permet d'ouvrir une nouvelle voie pour la lithographie de la prochaine génération, en utilisant les moyens de contrôle modernes dans le développement des résists. Il apparaît que l'application de la diffraction classique de Fresnel permet de réduire les motifs de masque par polarisation, pour tirer parti des avantages suivants : élargissement (i) des intervalles masque-plaquette et (ii) des motifs de masque pour une taille donnée d'élément imprimé; (iii) technique utilisable au-delà d'une taille d'élément de 25 nm; et (iv) réduction des temps d'exposition. L'invention se rapporte spécifiquement à la lithographie aux rayons X de proximité, mais des extensions génériques sont possibles à tous les types de lithographie capables d'utiliser l'imagerie hors foyer. Suite à la diffraction, les défauts d'impression imputables aux défauts des masques sont réduits. De plus, les niveaux d'exposition à partir des motifs de masque de différentes tailles sont contrôlés au moyen de techniques diverses.
