    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet mask includes an absorber having an index of refraction ranging from 0.87 to 1.02, an extinction coefficient ranging from 0.065 to 0.085, and a thickness ranging from 33.5 nm to 43.5 nm. Another extreme ultraviolet mask includes an absorber having an index of refraction ranging from 0.87 to 1.02, an extinction coefficient ranging from 0.085 to 0.105, and a thickness ranging from 25.5 nm to 35.5 nm. Another extreme ultraviolet mask includes an absorber having an index of refraction ranging from 0.895 to 0.950, an extinction coefficient ranging from 0.0600 to 0.0610, and a thickness ranging from 30 nm to 39 nm or 50 nm to 55 nm.

    Abstract: A pattern modification method and a patterning process are provided. The method includes extracting a first pattern and a second pattern to be respectively transferred to a first target portion and a second target portion of a resist layer. The method also includes obtaining regional information of the first target portion and the second target portion. The method includes determining a first desired focus position for transferring the first pattern based on the regional information. In addition, the method includes determining a second desired focus position for transferring the second pattern based on the regional information. The method includes modifying one or both of the first pattern and the second pattern. As a result, focus positions of the first pattern and the second pattern are shifted to be substantially and respectively positioned at the first desired focus position and the second desired focus position during an exposure operation.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes dividing a number of dies along an x axis in a die matrix in each exposure field in an exposure field matrix delineated on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the x axis is parallel to one edge of a smallest rectangle enclosing the exposure field matrix. A number of dies is divided along a y axis in the die matrix, wherein the y axis is perpendicular to the x axis. Sequences SNx0, SNx1, SNx, SNxr, SNy0, SNy1, SNy, and SNyr are formed. p*(Nbx+1)−2 stepping operations are performed in a third direction and first sequence exposure/stepping/exposure operations and second sequence exposure/stepping/exposure operations are performed alternately between any two adjacent stepping operations as well as before a first stepping operation and after a last stepping operation. A distance of each stepping operation in order follows the sequence SNx.

    Abstract: A method comprises: (a) transforming a layout of a layer of an integrated circuit (IC) or micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) to a curvilinear mask layout; (b) replacing at least one pattern of the curvilinear mask layout with a previously stored fracturing template having approximately the same shape as the pattern, to form a fractured IC or MEMS layout; and (c) storing, in a non-transitory storage medium, an e-beam generation file including a representation of the fractured IC or MEMS layout, to be used for fabricating a photomask.
