    摘要: An electric discharge laser with an associated programmable controller which (1) will permit an operator to specify beam quality parameters based on historical data (2) will monitor those parameters and (3) will provide a notification signal to the operator informing him when the beam quality is adequate for integrated circuit fabrication. The controller is programmed to indicate an out-of-control condition when one or more quality parameters exhibit certain specified non-random behavior such as two out of three quality measurements deviating by more than 4 standard deviations and/or three out of four quality measurements deviating by more three standard deviations. In a preferred embodiment the program is designed to detect poor quality by looking for these “runs” of bad quantity data and to produce false indication of system out of control, on the average, no more than once each two months.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of and a mold for arranging features on a substrate to replicate the features with minimal dimensional variability. The method includes arranging features on a layer to minimize thickness variations in the layer that are attributable to density variations of the plurality of features on the layer. The features are transferred into an underlying substrate. It is believed that by forming the features so as to define a uniform fill factor in the layer, the thickness variations may be reduced, if not abrogated. To that end, one method in accordance with the present invention includes forming a flowable material on the substrate. Thereafter, a plurality of features is formed in a region of the flowable material. The plurality of features are arranged to provide a substantially uniform fill factor in the region.

    摘要: A polymerizable composition includes an organic modified silicate selected from the group consisting of silsesquioxanes having the composition RSiO1.5, partially condensed alkoxysilanes, organically modified silicates having the composition RSiO3 and R2SiO2, and partially condensed orthosilicates having the composition SiOR4, where R is an organic substituent; a decomposable organic compound; a photoinitiator; and a release agent. The composition polymerizes upon exposure to UV radiation to form an inorganic silica network, and the decomposable organic compound decomposes upon exposure to heat to form pores in the inorganic silica network. The composition may be used to form a patterned dielectric layer in an integrated circuit device. A metallic film may be disposed on the patterned dielectric layer and then planarized.
