    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: An immersion optical projection system for photolithography is provided. A transparent plate is located between a last lens element and the wafer during a usage of the system. The transparent plate has a lens-side surface and a wafer-side surface. The system is adapted to have a layer of lens-side fluid located between the last lens element and the lens-side surface of the transparent plate, e.g., when the last lens element is operably located over the wafer during a photolithography process. The system is also adapted to have a layer of wafer-side fluid located between the wafer-side surface of the transparent plate and the wafer, during a usage of the system. The wafer-side fluid may or may not be fluidly connected to the lens-side fluid. The wafer-side fluid may or may not differ from the lens-side fluid.

    摘要: A method of determining temperatures at localized regions of a substrate during processing of the substrate in a photolithography process includes the following steps: independently illuminating a photoresist layer including a photoresist pattern at a plurality of locations on the substrate with a light source, so that light is diffracted off the plurality of locations of the photoresist pattern; measuring the diffracted light from the plurality of locations to determine measured diffracted values associated with respective locations from the plurality of locations; and comparing the measured diffracted values against a library to determine a pre-illumination process temperature of the photoresist layer at the plurality of locations.
