    摘要: A monitor for electrically testing energy beam dose or focus of a layer formed on a substrate by lithographic processing. The monitor comprises a substrate having in a lithographically formed layer an array of electrically conductive elements comprising a plurality of spaced, substantially parallel elements having a length and a width, with the individual elements being electrically connected, and the lengths of the elements being sensitive to dose and focus of an energy beam in lithographically forming the layer. The monitor further includes at least one pad electrically connected to the array to apply current through the array elements. Upon applying a voltage across the array elements, the suitability of dose or focus of the lithographically formed layer may be determined by the resistance of the array. Preferably, ends of the individual elements are aligned along essentially straight lines to form an array edge.

    摘要: The present invention utilizes a sub-threshold exposure step on an optically sensitive resist that is applied to a semiconductor wafer to thin the resist below the thickness which can be achieved by normal spinning and/or thinning techniques. Furthermore, the thinned resist can be re-expose to UV energies so as to develop patterns on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. An apparatus for vibrating and rotating the resist during the sub-threshold step is also disclosed herein.

    摘要: An adjustable, in-situ photolithography process is taught, where incident exposure light is passed through two polarizers; the first polarizer capable of altering its polarization direction, during exposure, relative to the polarization direction of the second polarizer, in order to enhance the contrast of a patterned image projected on a semiconductor wafer. The second polarizer in the optical train is a photo mask transparent substrate impregnated with colloidal crystals that are aligned in a fixed, predetermined direction by magnetic field. The photo mask may also contain a silicon compound for phase shifting the incident exposure light to further enhance the image contrast.
