SPIE Photomask Technology + EUV Lithography

Location: Monterey Conference Center, Monterey, CA

Date: September 17, 2019

Oral presentation will be made at 10:30a in Session 5, EUV resist 1 (Conference 11148).

http://spie.org/conferences-and-exhibitions/photomask-technology--extreme-ultraviolet-lithography

The patterning performances of Zeon scission resists exposed using ASML NXE3300 are reported. By optimizing process conditions, a resolution of 16 nm half-pitch for dense line-space pattern can be achieved using the same resist chemistry as for e-beam, but the sensitivity is very low. Therefore, Zeon developed a novel resist with modified polymer structure improving the EUV absorption. For US pattern, the novel resist achieved a resolution of 16 nm half pitch at an exposure dose of 57 mJ/cm2, with unbiased LER of 2.0 nm. For orthogonal C/H pattern, 44 nm pitch was resolved at 50.4 mJ/cm2, with a LCDU of 3.4 nm.
