    摘要: Methods for patterning integrated circuit (IC) features with varying dimensions are provided. In an example, a method includes forming a first patterned radiation-sensitive resist layer over a device substrate using a first mask, wherein the first patterned radiation-sensitive resist layer includes a first portion of an IC pattern; using the patterned first radiation-sensitive resist layer as a mask to form the first portion of the IC pattern in the device substrate; forming a second patterned radiation-sensitive resist layer over the device substrate using a second mask, wherein the second patterned radiation-sensitive resist layer includes a second portion of the IC pattern; and using the patterned second radiation-sensitive resist layer as a mask to form the second portion of the IC pattern in the device substrate. The combined first and second portions of the IC pattern in the device substrate form an IC feature having a dimension greater than dimensions of the first and second portions.

    摘要: A method for forming vias and trenches for an interconnect structure on a substrate includes exposing via pitch reduction patterns in a photoresist layer, developing the patterns to remove the via pitch reduction patterns, etching the photoresist layer partially using a polymer gas to reshape the pattern into small via shapes, and etching the remaining photoresist layer to extend the reshaped pattern. The reshaped small via shape patterns have a smaller pitch than the via pitch reduction patterns in a long direction. For via pitch reduction patterns having two vias each, the pattern has a peanut-shape. During the reshaping etch operation, the polymer gas deposits more in a pinched-in middle section while allowing downward etch in unpinched sections.

    摘要: An inspection system and method for inspecting the surface defects of the specimen is provided. The inspection system includes a laser focus module, a microscope objective module, an image pick-up module, and a process module. The laser focus module configured to emit laser beam on the specimen by a predetermined angle relative to a surface of the specimen, and to generate scattered light and reflected light when the laser beam irradiates on the surface defects of the specimen. The process module can calculate the real size of the defects by using the intensity information obtained from the image pick-up module and the microscope objective module or using the diameter information obtained from the reflected light image while the reflected light projects on a screen.
