    摘要: A process of an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is disclosed. The process includes receiving an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask with multiple states. Different states of the EUV mask are assigned to adjacent polygons and a field. The EUV mask is exposed by a nearly on-axis illumination (ONI) with partial coherence σ less than 0.3 to produce diffracted lights and non-diffracted lights. Most of the non-diffracted lights are removed. The diffracted lights and the not removed non-diffracted lights are collected and directed to expose a target by a projection optics box.

    摘要: A mask, method of fabricating same, and method of using same are disclosed. In an example, a mask includes a substrate and a reflective multilayer coating deposited over the substrate. The reflective multilayer coating is formed by positioning the substrate such that an angle α is formed between a normal line of the substrate and particles landing on the substrate and rotating the substrate about an axis that is parallel with a landing direction of the particles. In an example, reflective multilayer coating includes a first layer and a second layer deposited over the first layer. A phase defect region of the reflective multilayer coating includes a first deformation in the first layer at a first location, and a second deformation in the second layer at a second location, the second location laterally displaced from the first location.

Most of the non-diffracted lights are removed. The diffracted lights and the not removed non-diffracted lights are collected and directed to expose a target by a projection optics box.

    摘要: A mask set of two masks and a method of using these masks in a double exposure to avoid line shortening due to optical proximity effects is described. A pattern having pattern elements comprising a number of line segments, wherein each of the line segments has one or two free ends which are not connected to other mask pattern elements is to be transferred to a layer of resist. A first mask is formed by adding line extensions to each of the free ends of the line segments. A cutting mask is formed comprising rectangles enclosing each of the line extensions wherein one of the sides of said rectangles is coincident with the corresponding free end of said line segment. The first mask has opaque regions corresponding to the extended line segments. The cutting mask has transparent regions corresponding to the cutting pattern. In another embodiment a pattern having pattern openings comprising a number of line segments. In this embodiment the cutting pattern comprises rectangles having the same width as said line segments and add length to the line segments.

    摘要: A method for repairing phase defects for an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) mask is disclosed. The method includes receiving a patterned EUV mask with at least one phase-defect region, determining location and size of the phase-defect region, depositing an absorber material to cover the phase-defect region and removing a portion of the patterned absorption layer near the phase-defect region in the patterned EUV mask to form an absorber-absent region.
