    Abstract: Immersion lithography system and method using a sealed wafer bottom are described. One embodiment is an immersion lithography apparatus including a lens assembly comprising an imaging lens and a wafer stage for retaining a wafer beneath the lens assembly and comprising a seal ring for sealing a gap between a bottom edge of a wafer retained on the wafer stage and the wafer stage. The apparatus further includes a fluid tank for retaining immersion fluid, the fluid tank situated with respect to the wafer stage for enabling full immersion of the wafer retained on the wafer stage in the immersion fluid; a cover disposed over at least a portion of the fluid tank for providing a temperature-controlled, fluid-rich environment within the fluid tank; and at least one directional flow control fluid inlet surrounding the imaging lens for directing immersion fluid toward an edge of the wafer retained on the wafer stage closest to the imaging lens.

    Abstract: A method of reducing a critical dimension (“CD”) bias between a dense pattern and an isolation pattern is disclosed. The method includes a first step of providing a mask having a dense pattern, an isolation pattern and the other area of the mask is transparent, in which mask the dense pattern has a first opaque pattern and the isolation pattern has a second opaque pattern. The second step of the method is forming a virtual pattern around the isolation pattern, in which a distance between the virtual pattern and the isolation pattern is y, and the virtual pattern has a pattern line width x. By forming the virtual pattern around the isolation pattern, the flare effect of the isolation pattern is close to that of the dense pattern, thus the CD bias between a dense pattern, and an isolation pattern is reduced, and the process window does not shrink.

    Abstract: A cooling system for a hot plate. The cooling system includes a plurality of pipelines inside the hot plate. Each pipeline has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet permits a cooling fluid to enter and the outlet permits the cooling fluid to leave. The cooling fluid running inside the pipelines picks up heat from the hot plate and carries away so that the hot plate is cooled.

    Abstract: A method of forming a dual-layer resist and application thereof. With respect to the method of forming a dual-layer resist, first, a patterned first resist layer is formed on a substrate. Next, the first resist layer is cured so that the first resist layer does not dissolve in a resist solvent. Finally, a patterned second resist layer is formed on the cured first resist layer. The method of forming a dual-layer resist can be applied to mask ROM coding, hole formation and a dual damascene structure.

    Abstract: A planarization method using anisotropic etching can be applied to planarize an insulating layer with an uneven surface on a substrate. H2SO4, H3PO4, HF and H2O are mixed to form an etching solution. The substrate is placed into the etching solution to make the etching solution pass the surface of the insulating layer at a flow rate to etch the insulating layer. After a period of etching time, the insulating layer with a more planar surface can be obtained.
