    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Disclosed is a photomask having a wavelength-reducing material that may be used during photolithographic processing. In one example, the photomask includes a transparent substrate, an absorption layer having at least one opening, and a layer of wavelength-reducing material (WRM) placed into the opening. The thickness of the WRM may range from approximately a thickness of the absorption layer to approximately ten times the wavelength of light used during the photolithographic processing. In another example, the photomask includes at least one antireflection coating (ARC) layer.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed. An exemplary method includes receiving an integrated circuit (IC) layout design including a target pattern on a grid. The method further includes receiving a multiple-grid structure. The multiple-grid structure includes a number of exposure grid segments offset one from the other by an offset amount in a first direction. The method further includes performing a multiple-grid exposure to expose the target pattern on a substrate and thereby form a circuit feature pattern on the substrate. Performing the multiple-grid exposure includes scanning the substrate with the multiple-grid structure in a second direction such that a sub-pixel shift of the exposed target pattern occurs in the first direction, and using a delta time (Δt) such that a sub-pixel shift of the exposed target pattern occurs in the second direction.
