    摘要: Direct-write lithography apparatus and methods are disclosed in which a transducer image and an image of crossed interference fringe patterns are superimposed on a photoresist layer supported by a substrate. The transducer image has an exposure wavelength and contains bright spots, each corresponding to an activated pixel. The interference image has an inhibition wavelength and contains dark spots where the null points in the crossed interference fringes coincide. The dark spots are aligned with and trim the peripheries of the corresponding bright spot to form sub-resolution photoresist pixels having a size smaller than would be formed in the absence of the dark spots.

    摘要: Methods of and apparatus for performing direct-write lithography in a two-color photoresist layer are disclosed. The method includes exposing the two-color photoresist layer with transducer and inhibition images that respectively define bright spots and dark spots. The transducer image generates excited-state photo-molecules while the inhibition image converts the exited-state photo-molecules to an unexcited state that is not susceptible to conversion to an irreversible exposed state. The dark spots and bright spots are aligned, with the dark spots being smaller than the bright spots so that a portion of the excited-state photo-molecules adjacent the periphery of the bright spots absorb the inhibition radiation and transition to the unexcited state while a portion of the excited photo-molecules at the center of bright spots are not exposed to the inhibition light and transition to an irreversible exposed state. This forms in the two-color photoresist layer a pattern of sub-resolution photoresist pixels.

    摘要: A system and method of strong phase-shifting a beam from an actinic light source in a lithographic process includes focusing a beam from the electromagnetic beam source onto a mask adapted to selectively phase-shift at least a portion of the beam according to a predetermined pattern. The beam is passed from the actinic light source through the mask producing a phase-shifted beam, and the phase-shifted beam is directed at a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer adapted to be selectively etched according to the predetermined pattern. The strong phase-shift serves to substantially eliminate zero-order light in the phase-shifted beam. Strong phase-shift mask techniques, through a two electromagnetic beam interference imaging process, are known in the art of microlithography to form imaging results for features of a size well below the limit of conventional prior art imaging.

    摘要: A imaging tool for use with a mask with features oriented along at least an x-axis or a y-axis where the x-axis extends in directions substantially perpendicular to the directions of the y-axis. The tool has a condenser lens with a condenser plate which is located in a condenser lens pupil plane and which has a condenser aperture with four-sides. The sides of the condenser aperture are oriented in substantially the same direction as either the x-axis or the y-axis. The condenser lens is positioned to place at least a portion of any illumination on at least a portion of the mask.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a poly(allylamine) polymer and, more generally, a hydrocarbon amine polymer. Preferably, these polymers are crosslinked. The present invention also relates to methods of forming these polymers and methods for their use. Further, the present invention relates to alkylating agents that can be employed to form the polymers and to methods for forming the alkylating agents. Generally, the polymer sequestrant includes a substituent bound to an amine of the polymer. The substituent includes a quaternary amine-containing moiety having one, two or three terminal hydrophobic substituents. A method of preparing quaternary amine-containing alkylating agents includes reacting an unsymmetrical dihalide with a tertiary amine having at least one hydrophobic substituent. A method for binding bile salts of bile acids in a mammal includes orally administering to the mammal a therapeutically-effective amount of the polymer sequestrant.
