ADVANCED MANUFACTURING OF X-RAY PROXIMITY MASKS FOR SUB-100nm DEVICES

JUNE 12, 2006

1 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

	 	1.1	 	The effectiveness of our 21st Century warfighting capability is predicated
on a combination sensor and communications networks that enable the timely flow of the
“right” information to all echelons of warfighters engaged in military operations. Such
technology is necessary to provide warfighters the Single Integrated Picture (SIP) /Common
Operational Picture (COP) required toengage an enemy. These technologies can also be used
for humanitarian applications as well as for evaluation of the real and/or synthetic
systems. At the heart of these military and homeland defense systems are advanced
technology components (e.g., processors, rf sub-systems, photonics, MEM’s, system-on-a-chip
(SOC), etc.), which provide the US substantial advantage over any adversary. The
performance of these enabling technologies has continued to advance at an amazing rate —
this rate is referred to as Moore’s Law. One of the major factors contributing to this
growth in computational performance, efficiency, spectrum of performance, bandwidth, etc.
is the ability to manufacture these products with ever decreasing geometries using advanced
lithographic tools, including X-ray lithography. Both the Government and industry have
invested in X-ray lithography technology development and demonstration since the 1980’s at
a level approaching a billion dollars. Such tools now exist in small numbers and are being
used for defense products on a limited basis. X-ray lithography is not yet an accepted
technology for commercial device manufacturing. Because of the importance of the X-ray
Program and technology to the U.S. Defense community, this effort to advance the mask
technology and bridge the gap between limited defense applications and self-sustaining
commercial responsibility is established with this contract. Hence, work under this
contract shall give preference to defense applications but will also seek commercial
business in order to eventually establish a self-sustaining business capability.
	 
	 	1.2	 	One of the most critical parameters of masks fabricated for advanced lithography is
image placement error. This is particularly important for membrane masks such as those
required for x-ray and electron-beam projection lithography (EPL). These membrane masks
must be robust, resistant to thermal distortions, and strong enough to minimize any
in-plane distorting forces that occur as a result of processing. A key measure of material
stiffness is the Young’s modulus of elasticity. Typical membrane materials, such as
doped-silicon and silicon nitride (SiN) have a Young’s modulus in the 160GPa range. The
current x-ray mask membrane material is SiC, which has a relatively high Young’s modulus of
480 GPa, might possibly be improved through

 

 

N00421-02-D-3189

0005

Page 11 of 21

	 	 	 	better polishing to improve surface roughness, reduced defect levels, and/or better
stress uniformity (within wafer). Diamond films possess a high degree of mechanical
stiffness, with a Young’s modulus of greater than 900GPa. This would allow the
possibility of thinner membranes, which would increase the contrast of the mask. In
addition, the superior thermal properties of diamond would make it more resistant to
distortions from mask heating during electron beam scanning. Considerable progress has
been made in developing diamond films for x-ray mask membranes, but the effort is not
yet sufficient to lead to production worthy substrates.
	 
	 	1.3	 	The centerpieces of this project are the development of additional X-ray mask sources
and the JMAR/ BAES ability to expose these masks for DOD and commercially related programs.
To help accomplish these goals, JMAR will award a subcontract to BAE Systems, Nashua, NH to
support development of an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) program that will
demonstrate the fabrication of devices for use in space and other applications using masks
obtained under this program. BAE Systems Nashua and Manassas together with JMAR propose to
support fabrication of CRAM with 35-50 nm contact holes enabling 4 Mb and higher densities.
The demonstration involves fabrication of CRAM wafers utilizing chalcogenide at the
Manassas Foundry up to the chalcogenide via hole level. Via-hole lithography will be
performed utilizing current X-ray lithography tools such as DPF system at Nashua and CPL
system at Burlington. The wafers will then be completed and evaluated at Manassas. The
proposed program includes two reduction printing approaches. This demonstration will
enable future production of high-density CRAM using X-ray lithography for high-priority,
military and space applications. Chalcogenide-based memories, when combined with a Rad-Hard
CMOS base technology, provide an attractive solution meeting the needs of space-based
applications for non-volatile memory. The memory stores information in the phase of the
material and is not susceptible to charge induced upset. It is a high density, low power,
and comparatively fast technology that BAE SYTEMS has licensed from Ovonyx, Inc., for
insertion into the Manassas, VA, 0.25μm Rad-Hard technology. These devices are needed in
quantities exceeding 10,000 parts and will have to become 4 times denser over several
generations. At this time, there is no other way to produce these devices and they are
critical to Air Force and National capabilities BAE SYSTEMS (Manassas) is currently under
contract to the Air Force Research Lab, Kirtland AFB, NM, to design and produce a 4 Mb
non-volatile random access memory. It is for this reason that JMAR will be preparing the
system in Vermont for demonstration and capability of this task for a future relocation of
the system to BAE Systems in Nashua in preparation for meeting the forecasted needs of the
program. JMAR will also work cooperatively with Science Research Laboratories in
Massachusetts in the exploration and design of an improved anode which will enable the
presently installed system to achieve greater reliability and throughput. This program
will supply proof of capability lithography for RAM densities up to 64Mb by June 2007. The
current state-of-the-art produces a 100nm diameter via for the chalcogenide element by
printing a 350nm photolithographic feature and then reducing the interior dimension of the
etched feature. However, densities greater than 16 Mb on a single chip are not

 

 

N00421-02-D-3189

0005

Page 12 of 21

	 	 	 	practical
using the current
photolithographic tools. Proximity x-ray lithography combined with reduction printing
techniques presents capability to produce sub-50 nm contact holes. A sub-50 nm contact
hole will enable increases in density for future space-based memory applications.
Additional planned applications include embedded non-volatile memory cores for use in
ASICs and microprocessors (SUROM, post-event recovery) as well as a reconfigurable,
non-volatile FPGA product. This type of memory also has commercial applications. Intel,
ST Microelectronics and others have licensed this technology as a replacement for FLASH
memory. Recent announcements by Intel (IEDM 2003, 8-10 Dec., Washington, DC) indicate
that they expect the cost/performance trade-off between FLASH and CRAM to balance
somewhere around the 90nm technology node. Unlike radiation tolerant space-based
applications, high density and low cost-per-bit requirements drive the commercial
marketplace. They would also benefit from the proposed demonstration because X-ray
lithography will lead to higher density devices. A successful initial CRAM program and
completion of the proposed CPL system upgrades, shall culminate in the transfer of the
CPL system developed in Burlington to BAES, Nashua, NH when funding is available to
replace the current DPF system and continue to support AFRL and other DOD customers in
producing MMIC and CRAM devices. JMAR Systems shall continue collaborative work on the
AFRL CRAM program

2 SCOPE

	 	2.1	 	The Contractor will continue to strengthen the mask supply chain through the

	 	 	 	supplied samples from suppliers
as well as samples provided by the University
Engineering Department (using YSZ grown compounds). Concurrently, JMAR will work
the University in development of high precision stages, which will compliment the
prior years’ activity as well as provide large stage solutions and refinements to
the X-Ray stepper in an effort to match the present day lithographic and
inspection challenges. University collaboration is planned but not limited to
working with the University of Vermont, (Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
departments), University of Wisconsin, University of Colorado, and the University
of Montreal.
	 
	 	2.5	 	As the program progresses, it may be necessary for the contractor to lease or
purchase appropriate tools or technology to enable the operation of a mask prototype
manufacturing facility. This is considered to be within the scope of the overall
effort, but not deemed necessary under this delivery order. Recommendations for future
leases/purchases will be described in CDRL Item A004, the detailed program plan.
	 
	 	2.6	 	Assumptions
	 
	 	 	 	Right-to-use licenses for any Contractor-proprietary designs or software shall be
provided for the duration of the initial funded contract period of performance.
	 
	 	2.7	 	Constraints
	 
	 	 	 	Right-to-use licenses do not imply transfer of ownership or rights to proprietary
development.
