    Abstract: A method uses a projection mask aligner that includes a hard pellicle mounting apparatus having an enclosure with an interior cavity, an inlet port for receiving a mask with a protective cover, and an outlet port for outputting a mask covered by a hard pellicle, that has a demounting portion for removing the protective cover from the mask, that has a mounting portion for mounting the hard pellicle on the mask, and that has a conduit for receiving a light-transmitting gas. The method includes: forming a hard pellicle/mask assembly having at least one hard pellicle mounted thereon; positioning the hard pellicle/mask assembly between a light source and an imaging lens; positioning a photoresist-coated semiconductor wafer under the imaging lens with a photoresist layer facing the lens; and imaging microelectronics circuits from the hard pellicle/mask assembly onto the semiconductor wafer.

    Abstract: A method for electron-beam patterning includes forming a conductive material layer on a substrate; forming a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) layer on the conductive material layer; forming a resist layer on the BARC layer; and directing an electron beam (e-beam) to the sensitive resist layer for an electron beam patterning process. The BARC layer is designed such that a top electrical potential of the resist layer is substantially zero during the e-beam patterning process.

    Abstract: A method of an integrated circuit (IC) design includes receiving an IC design layout. The IC design layout includes an IC feature with a first outer boundary and a first target points assigned to the first outer boundary. The method also includes generating a second outer boundary for the IC feature and moving all the first target points to the second outer boundary to form a modified IC design layout.
