    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of forming an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pellicle having an pellicle film connected to a pellicle frame without a supportive mesh, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by forming a cleaving plane within a substrate. A pellicle frame is attached to an upper surface of the substrate, and the substrate is cleaved along the cleaving plane to form a pellicle film attached to the pellicle frame. The method forms the pellicle without using a support structure, which may block EUV radiation and cause substantial non-uniformities in the intensity of EUV radiation incident on an EUV reticle.

    Abstract: A lithography system includes a radiation source configured to generate an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light. The lithography system includes a mask that defines one or more features of an integrated circuit (IC). The lithography system includes an illuminator configured to direct the EUV light onto the mask. The mask diffracts the EUV light into a 0-th order ray and a plurality of higher order rays. The lithography system includes a wafer stage configured to secure a wafer that is to be patterned according to the one or more features defined by the mask. The lithography system includes a pupil phase modulator positioned in a pupil plane that is located between the mask and the wafer stage. The pupil phase modulator is configured to change a phase of the 0-th order ray.

    Abstract: An EUV collector is rotated between or during operations of an EUV photolithography system. Rotating the EUV collector causes contamination to distribute more evenly over the collector's surface. This reduces the rate at which the EUV photolithography system loses image fidelity with increasing contamination and thereby increases the collector lifetime. Rotating the collector during operation of the EUV photolithography system can induce convection and reduce the contamination rate. By rotating the collector at sufficient speed, some contaminating debris can be removed through the action of centrifugal force.

    Abstract: A Cu-containing material is provided as an absorber layer of an EUV mask. With the absorber layer of the Cu-containing material, the same lithography performance of a conventional absorber in 70 nm thickness of TaBN can be achieved by only a 30-nm thickness of the absorber layer according to the various embodiments of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the out-off-band (OOB) flare of the radiation light in 193-257 nm can be reduced so as to achieve the better lithography performance.
