    摘要: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit provides a metrology mark (e.g., alignment mark or overlay mark). The method includes forming a first plurality of first structures arranged in a matrix in a substrate. Portions of the matrix are covered with a mask such that first portions of the matrix are left exposed and second portions of the matrix are covered. Signal response properties of exposed ones of the first structures in the matrix are altered to form a metrology mark. The metrology mark includes first and second mark portions with different signal response properties and which are aligned to a virtual grid. The evaluation of precisely positioned metrology marks may be improved with low impact on process complexity.

    摘要: A reflective photomask includes a substrate with a substrate layer of a low thermal expansion material. The substrate layer includes a main portion of a first structural configuration and an auxiliary portion of a second structural configuration of the low thermal expansion material. The auxiliary portion is formed in a frame section surrounding a pattern section of the substrate. A multilayer mirror is formed on a first surface of the substrate. A reflectivity of the multilayer mirror is at least 50% at an exposure wavelength below 15 nm. A frame trench extending through the multilayer mirror exposes the substrate in the frame section. The auxiliary portion may include scatter centers for out-of-band radiation.

    摘要: A lithography apparatus includes a condenser system and a projection system. The condenser system is configured to irradiate a mask with non-telecentric incident radiation. The projection system is configured to collect and focus a radiation diffracted at an absorber pattern on the mask to a sample. The projection system is further configured to compensate, in the diffracted radiation, a phase and/or intensity variation resulting from the diffraction of the non-telecentric incident radiation, wherein the diffraction results from an absorber pattern provided on the mask.
