    摘要: A system and method are provided for writing patterns onto substrates. First and second beams are directed to converge and substantially overlap in a common region on a substrate. This can be done so that the first and second beams are mutually temporally coherent and spatially coherent in the region of overlap to form interference fringes to define a writing image. A beam width of the first and second beams is adjusted. This can be done so that respective path lengths of the beams are matched when they reach the common region to ensure the first and second beams are mutually spatially coherent and temporally coherent across an entire width of the common region. In one example, the substrate is moved with respect to the writing image, while writing patterns onto the substrate. In another example, the substrate remains stationary.

    摘要: The lithographic apparatus includes a support structure configured to hold a patterning device. The patterning device is configured to pattern a beam of radiation according to a desired pattern. The lithographic apparatus further includes a substrate table configured to hold a substrate, a projection system configured to project the patterned beam onto a target portion of the substrate, a measurement system configured to measure a parameter of (a) the substrate table, or (b) the substrate, or (c) an image projected by the projection system, or (d) any combination of (a)-(c), and a liquid supply system configured to supply a liquid to a space between the substrate and the projection system. The lithographic apparatus also includes a shield disposed in a vicinity of a portion of the measurement system and configured to shield the portion of the measurement system from the liquid.

    摘要: Grayscale Optical Proximity Correction device features are added to a mask pattern by convoluting the device features with a two-dimensional correction kernel or two one-dimensional correction kernels to generate grayscale OPC features. The resulting pattern may be used in a projection lithography apparatus having a programmable patterning means that is adapted to generate three or more intensity levels. An iterative process of simulating an aerial image that would be produced by the pattern, comparing the simulation to the desired pattern, and adjusting the OPC features may be used to generate an optimum pattern for projection
