    摘要: A reticle for use in an extreme ultraviolet (euv) lithography tool includes a trench formed in the opaque border formed around the image field of the reticle. The trench is coated with an absorber material. The reticle is used in an euv lithography tool in conjunction with a reticle mask and the positioning of the reticle mask and the presence of the trench combine to prevent any divergent beams of radiation from reaching any undesired areas on the substrate being patterned. In this manner, only the exposure field of the substrate is exposed to the euv radiation. Pattern integrity in neighboring fields is maintained.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography patterning is provided. A UV or EUV light beam is generated and directed to the surface of a substrate disposed on a stage and coated with photoresist. A laminar flow of a layer of inert gas is directed across and in close proximity to the substrate surface coated with photoresist during the exposure, i.e. lithography operation. The inert gas is exhausted quickly and includes a short resonance time at the exposure location. The inert gas flow prevents flue gasses and other contaminants produced by outgassing of the photoresist, to precipitate on and contaminate other features of the lithography apparatus.

    摘要: A system and method of compensating for local focus errors in a semiconductor process. The method includes providing a reticle and applying, at a first portion of the reticle, a step height based on an estimated local focus error for a first portion of a wafer corresponding to the first portion of the reticle. A multilayer coating is formed over the reticle and an absorber layer is formed over the multilayer coating. A photoresist is formed over the absorber layer. The photoresist is patterned, an etch is performed of the absorber layer and residual photoresist is removed.
