    摘要: Disclosed is an improved aperture design for improving critical dimension accuracy and electron beam lithography. A pattern may be created on a reticle by passing an electron beam through a first aperture having a first shape comprising an upper horizontal edge, a lower horizontal edge, a vertical edge, an upper bevel, and a lower bevel, wherein a portion of the electron beam is projected onto a second aperture. The portion of the electronic beam is passed through the second aperture having a second shape, wherein the second shape is the first shape rotated horizontally by 180 degrees, and an overlapped portion of the first and second aperture is exposed on a surface of the reticle to create a pattern.

    摘要: Some embodiments relate to a method for processing a workpiece. In the method, a first photoresist layer is provided over the workpiece, wherein the first photoresist layer has a first photoresist tone. The first photoresist layer is patterned to provide a first opening exposing a first portion of the workpiece. A second photoresist layer is then provided over the patterned first photoresist layer, wherein the second photoresist layer has a second photoresist tone opposite the first photoresist tone. The second photoresist layer is then patterned to provide a second opening that at least partially overlaps the first opening to define a coincidentally exposed workpiece region. A treatment is then performed on the coincidentally exposed workpiece region. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
