    摘要: Combined e-beam and optical exposure lithography for semiconductor fabrication is disclosed. E-beam direct writing to is employed to create critical dimension (CD) areas of a semiconductor design on a semiconductor wafer. Optical exposure lithography is employed to create non-CD areas of the semiconductor design on the semiconductor CD's of the semiconductor design can also be separated from non-CD's of the semiconductor design prior to employing e-beam direct writing and optical exposure lithography.

    摘要: A method for forming an etch-resistant photoresist pattern on a semiconductor substrate is provided. In one embodiment, a photoresist layer is formed on the substrate. The photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a photoresist pattern. A polymer-containing layer is formed over the photoresist pattern. The photoresist pattern and the polymer-containing layer are thermally treated so that polymer is substantially diffused into the photoresist pattern thereby enhancing the etch resistance of the photoresist pattern. The polymer-containing layer is thereafter removed.
