    摘要: Metal-comprising resist layers (for example, metal oxide resist layers), methods for forming the metal-comprising resist layers, and lithography methods that implement the metal-comprising resist layers are disclosed herein that can improve lithography resolution. An exemplary method includes forming a metal oxide resist layer over a workpiece by performing deposition processes to form metal oxide resist sublayers of the metal oxide resist layer over the workpiece and performing a densification process on at least one of the metal oxide resist sublayers. Each deposition process forms a respective one of the metal oxide resist sublayers. The densification process increases a density of the at least one of the metal oxide resist sublayers. Parameters of the deposition processes and/or parameters of the densification process can be tuned to achieve different density profiles, different density characteristics, and/or different absorption characteristics to optimize patterning of the metal oxide resist layer.

    摘要: An ellipsometer includes a light source, a polarizer, an asymmetric wavelength retarder, an analyzer and an optical detection component. The light source is configured to provide a light beam having multiple wavelengths incident to a sample. The polarizer is disposed between the light source and the sample, and configured to polarize the light beam. The asymmetric wavelength retarder is configured to provide a varied retardation effect on the light beam varied by wavelength. The analyzer is configured to analyze a polarization state of the light beam reflected by the sample. The optical detection component is configured to detect the light beam from the analyzer.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, a semiconductor device fabricated by such a method, and a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) tool for performing such a method. In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing an integrated circuit (IC) wafer including a metal conductor in a trench of a dielectric layer over a substrate, and performing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to planarize the metal conductor and the dielectric layer. The method further includes cleaning the planarized metal conductor and dielectric layer to remove residue from the CMP process, rinsing the cleaned metal conductor and dielectric layer with an alcohol, and drying the rinsed metal conductor and dielectric layer in an inert gas environment.
