    摘要: A method of patterning an integrated circuit including generating a thermal profile of a reticle is provided. The thermal profile of the reticle may illustrate heat accumulation (e.g., a temperature) in a EUV reticle due an incident EUV radiation beam. The thermal profile may be determined using the pattern density of the reticle. The reticle is irradiated with a radiation beam having an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength. A thermal control profile may be generated using the thermal profile, which may define a parameter of the lithography process such as, a temperature gradient of a thermal control chuck. The thermal control profile may be downloaded to the EUV lithography tool (e.g., scanner or stepper) for use in a process. A separate thermal control profile may be provided for different reticles.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a lithographic tool arrangement for semiconductor workpiece processing. The lithographic tool arrangement groups lithographic tools into clusters, and selectively transfers a semiconductor workpiece between a plurality of lithographic tools of a first type in a first cluster to a plurality of lithographic tools of a second type in a second cluster. The selective transfer is achieved though a transfer assembly, which is coupled to a defect scan tool that identifies defects generated in the lithographic tool of the first type. The disclosed lithographic tool arrangement also utilizes shared structural elements such as a housing assembly, and shared functional elements such as gases and chemicals. The lithographic tool arrangement may consist of baking, coating, exposure, and development units configured to provide a modularization of these various components in order to optimize throughput and efficiency for a given lithographic fabrication process.

    摘要: A dual wavelength exposure system provides for patterning a resist layer formed on a wafer for forming semiconductor devices, using two exposure operations, one including a first radiation having a first wavelength and the other including a second radiation including a second wavelength. Different or the same lithography tool may be used to generate the first and second radiation. For each die formed on the semiconductor device, a critical portion of the pattern is exposed using a first exposure operation that uses a first radiation with a first wavelength and a non-critical portion of the pattern is exposed using a second exposure operation utilizing the second radiation at a second wavelength. The resist material is chosen to be sensitive to both the first radiation having a first wavelength and the second radiation having the second wavelength.

    摘要: In accordance with the present invention, a method for forming a via-first dual damascene interconnect structure by using gap-filling material whose thickness is easily controlled by a developer is provided. The essential part of the present invention is the application of gap-filling materials such as novolak, PHS, acrylate, methacrylate, and COMA to fill vias. Filling vias with these materials can get a greater planar topography for trench patterning due to its excellent gap-filling capacity, protect the bottom of vias from damage during the trench etch, and prevent the fence problem by using a developer to control its thickness in vias.
