    Abstract: A projection method uses a modified illumination method for a lithography process of semiconductor device, and a projection system and mask use the projection method. An object is exposed by removing the vertical incident component of light passed through a condenser lens. Zero-order diffracted light interferes destructively and the oblique component of .-+. first-order diffracted light, interferes constructively. The obliquely incident component light illuminates a mask having a pattern formed thereon. The vertical incident component of the light is removed by a phase difference of light due to a grating mask or a grating pattern formed on the back surface of the conventional mask. The resolution of a lithography process is improved due to the increased contrast, and the depth of focus is also increased. Thus, patterns for 64 Mb DRAMs can be formed using a conventional projection exposure system.

    Abstract: A method for forming a mask pattern using a multi-layer photoresist film process is disclosed. The processing is simplified from known processes by using a silylated photoresist film. A first photoresist layer is formed on substrate and part of the surface of the photoresist layer is silylated to thereby form a silylation layer. Then, a second photoresist layer is formed on the silylation layer, which is then exposed through the photo mask having a predetermined pattern. A second photoresist pattern is then formed after development. Then, a silylation layer pattern is formed by etching-back the silylation layer using the second photoresist pattern as an etching mask. The silylation pattern is then oxidized, and the first photoresist layer is etched using the oxidized silylation pattern, thereby forming a first photoresist pattern. A resolution increasing effect can be maintained using the two layer photoresist film structure without the need for an intermediate oxide film. Thus, the process is simplified and less undesired polymers are generated.

    Abstract: In a method of aligning a wafer stage, the wafer stage may be moved in an X-axis direction. A first coordinate of the wafer stage may be measured from a first measurement position inclined to the X-axis. The wafer stage may be moved in a Y-axis direction. A second coordinate of the wafer stage may be measured from a second measurement position inclined to the Y-axis. Thus, a movement distance of the wafer stage may be increased, so that the interferometers may accurately measure the position of the wafer stage.
