摘要: A reflective mask is described. The mask includes a low thermal expansion material (LTEM) substrate, a conductive layer deposited on a first surface of the LTEM substrate, a stack of reflective multilayers (ML) deposited on a second surface of the LTEM substrate, a capping layer deposited on the stack of reflective ML, a first absorption layer deposited on the first capping layer, a main pattern, and a border ditch.

摘要: A photolithographic apparatus includes a particle removing cassette, a pump and a compressor. The particle removing cassette includes a first slit that includes an array of parallel wind blade nozzles arranged along a length of the first slit, protruding from the first slit, and configured to eject and direct pressurized cleaning material to a patterning surface of a mask to remove debris particles on the patterning surface. The pump and the compressor are controlled by a controller to adjust a flow rate and a pressure of the pressurized cleaning material based on an amount of debris particles on the patterning surface of the mask.

摘要: A photomask having a partial-thickness assist feature and a technique for manufacturing the photomask are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the photomask includes a mask substrate, a reflective structure disposed on the mask substrate, and an absorptive layer formed on the reflective structure. A printing feature region and an assist feature region are defined on the mask. The absorptive layer has a first thickness in the printing feature region and a second thickness in the assist feature region that is different from the first thickness. In some such embodiments, the second thickness is configured such that radiation reflected by the assist feature region does not exceed an exposure threshold of a photoresist of a target.

摘要: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device a semiconductor wafer is retrieved from a load port. The semiconductor wafer is transferred to a treatment device. In the treatment device, the surface of the semiconductor wafer is exposed to a directional stream of plasma wind to clean a particle from the surface of the semiconductor wafer. The stream of plasma wind is generated by an ambient plasma generator and is directed at an oblique angle with respect to a perpendicular plane to the surface of the semiconductor wafer for a predetermined plasma exposure time. After the cleaning, a photo resist layer is disposed on the semiconductor wafer.

摘要: In a method of manufacturing a photo mask for lithography, circuit pattern data are acquired. A pattern density, which is a total pattern area per predetermined area, is calculated from the circuit pattern data. Dummy pattern data for areas having pattern density less than a threshold density are generated. Mask drawing data is generated from the circuit pattern data and the dummy pattern data. By using an electron beam from an electron beam lithography apparatus, patterns are drawn according to the mask drawing data on a resist layer formed on a mask blank substrate. The drawn resist layer is developed using a developing solution. Dummy patterns included in the dummy pattern data are not printed as a photo mask pattern when the resist layer is exposed with the electron beam and is developed.
