    摘要： A system and method is provided that facilitates the application of a uniform layer of photoresist material spincoated onto a semiconductor substrate (e.g wafer). The present invention accomplishes this end by utilizing a measurement system that measures the thickness uniformity of the photoresist material applied on a test wafer by a nozzle, and then adjusting the viscosity of the photoresist material by varying the ratio in a solvent/resist mixture, and/or adjusting the temperature of the mixture. A system and method that employs a plurality of nozzles is also provided that disperses resist at different annular regions on a wafer to facilitate the application of a uniform layer of photoresist material spincoated onto the wafer. The system and method utilize a measurement system that measures the thickness and thickness uniformity of each layer of photoresist material applied at each annular region of the wafer. The measured thickness uniformity and overall thickness for each annular region is then used to adjust the volume and viscosity of a solvent/resist mixture applied through each nozzle.

    摘要： A system and method is provided that facilitates the application of a uniform layer of developer material on a photoresist material layer. The system includes a multiple tip nozzle and a movement system that moves the nozzle to an operating position above a central region of a photoresist material layer located on a substrate, and applies a volume of developer as the nozzle scan moves across a predetermined path. The movement system moves the nozzle in two dimensions by providing an arm that has a first arm member that is pivotable about a first rotational axis and a second arm member that is pivotable about a second rotational axis or is movable along a translational axis. The system also provides a measurement system that measures the thickness uniformity of the developed photoresist material layer disposed on a test wafer. The thickness uniformity data is used to reconfigure the predetermined path of the nozzle as the developer is applied. The thickness uniformity data can also be used to adjust the volume of developer applied along the path and/or the volume flow rate.

    摘要： A system and method is provided that facilitates the application of a uniform layer of developer material on a photoresist material layer. The system includes a nozzle adapted to apply a predetermined volume of developer material on a photoresist material layer along a linear path having a length approximately equal to the diameter of the photoresist material layer. A movement system moves the nozzle to a first position offset from a central region of the photoresist material layer for applying a first predetermined volume of developer material to the photoresist material layer while the developer material is spin coated. The movement system also moves the nozzle to a second position offset from the central region for applying a second predetermined volume of developer material to the photoresist material layer while the developer is spin coated. The first position is located on an opposite side of the central region with respect to the second position. A method of adjusting the offset position and/or volume of developer material applied at the first and second position is also provided. The method utilizes developed photoresist material layer thickness data provided by a measurement system to adjust the offset position and/or volume of the developer.

    摘要： The present invention provides SEM systems, SEM calibration standards, and SEM calibration methods that improved accuracy in critical dimension measurements. The calibration standards have features formed with an amorphous material such as amorphous silicon. Amorphous materials lack the crystal grain structure of materials such as polysilicon and are capable of providing sharper edged features and higher accuracy patterns than grained materials. The amorphous material can be bound to a silicon wafer substrate through an intermediate layer of material, such as silicon dioxide. Where the intermediate layer is insulating material, as is silicon dioxide, the intermediate layer may be patterned with gaps to provide for electrical communication between the amorphous silicon and the silicon wafer. Charges imparted to the amorphous silicon during electron beam scanning may thereby drain to the silicon wafer rather than accumulating to a level where they would distort the electron beam.
