    摘要: A photolithographic technique and apparatus involving two exposures and the sectioning of a first original mask opening that has segments which conflict with a second original mask opening. A plurality of segmented openings are configured in a first mask including at least one phase shifted opening and at least one non-phase shifted opening. Imaging radiation is projected through the plurality of segmented openings onto at least two electromagnetic radiation application regions (EARs) on a surface to be imaged during one exposure, with one of the two EAR's being phase shifted and the other non-phase shifted. At least one segmented opening is formed in a second mask. Radiation is projected through the second mask segmented opening onto one or more EARs on the surface during another exposure. At least one of the second mask EARs interconnects at least one of the phase shifted EARs and one of the non-phase shifted EARs. The first mask is a split mask, the second mask is a cover mask and both masks may be on a single mask substrate.

    摘要: A method of adjusting exposure of an energy beam to a lithographic resist sensitive to the energy beam, which method comprises determining where in a pattern to be exposed the energy level will exceed a critical thermal level, and adjusting the pattern and kind of exposure of the resist where the critical level is exceeded. One technique is to adjust the level exposure of the resist to a lower level equal to or less than the critical level with repeated exposures of the pattern in areas where the critical level is exceeded. The energy level monitored can be a thermal level measured as a temperature of the resist. A second technique is to adjust the exposure level by modifying the pattern and duration of exposure of the resist to a longer duration providing exposures equal to or less than the critical level with the modified pattern of exposures of the pattern in areas where the critical level is exceeded.

    摘要: A method of designing lithographic masks is provided where mask segments used in a model-based optical proximity correction (MBOPC) scheme are adaptively refined based on local image information, such as image intensity, gradient and curvature. The values of intensity, gradient and curvature are evaluated locally at predetermined evaluation points associated with each segment. An estimate of the image intensity between the local evaluation points is preferably obtained by curve fitting based only on values at the evaluation points. The decision to refine a segment is based on the deviation of the simulated image threshold contour from the target image threshold contour. The output mask layout will provide an image having improved fit to the target image, without a significant increase in computation cost.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and an optical lithographic system which eliminates the standing wave effect typically observed in photoresists without the need for altering the thickness of the photoresist, utilizing an anti-reflective coating material, or changing the light source. Specifically, the present invention compensates for standing waves by exposing the photoresist with light from a light source at different phases. That is, in the present invention there is a change in light exposure from a single dose at one phase to a plurality of doses at different phases; therefore dispersing the effects of the standing wave at each of those phases which in turn eliminates the standing wave.
