    摘要: Some embodiments of the present disclosure related to a method to form and operate the reflective surface to compensate for aberration effects on pattern uniformity. In some embodiments, the reflective surface comprises a mirror of within reduction optics of an EUV illumination tool. In some embodiments, the reflective surface comprises a reflective reticle. An EUV reflective surface topography comprising a reflective surface is disposed on a surface of a substrate, and is manipulated by mechanical force or thermal deformation. The substrate includes a plurality of cavities, where each cavity is coupled to a deformation element configured to expand a volume of the cavity and consequently deform a portion of the reflective surface above each cavity, for local control of the reflective surface through thermal deformation of a resistive material subject to an electric current, or mechanical deformation due to pressurized gas within the cavity or a piezoelectric effect.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an exhaust system for discharging from semiconductor manufacturing equipment a hazardous gas. The exhaust system includes: a main exhaust pipe having a top surface and a bottom surface; a first branch pipe including an upstream end coupled to a source of a gas mixture containing the hazardous gas and a downstream end connected to the main exhaust pipe through the top surface; a second branch pipe including a downstream end connected to the main exhaust pipe through the bottom surface; and a detector configured to detect presence of the hazardous gas in the second branch pipe.

    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.
