Abstract: A lithography film stack applied to an immersion lithography process includes a photoresist, a wavelength adjusting layer and a top coating layer. The photoresist is disposed on a substrate. The wavelength adjusting layer is disposed on the photoresist. The top coating layer is disposed on the wavelength adjusting layer. A refractive index of the wavelength adjusting layer is greater than a refractive index of the top coating layer and a refractive index of an immersion fluid of the immersion lithography process.

Abstract: A projection exposure apparatus for semiconductor lithography includes a deformable optical element for the correction of wavefront aberrations. Actuating units for the deformation of the optical element are in mechanical contact with the optical element by way of contact regions. The contact regions are arranged in a regular or irregular arrangement outside an optically active region of the optical element. There are contact regions lying closest to the optically active region and remote contact regions.

Abstract: An exposure device is disclosed, including: a light source (1), an illumination module (2), a mask stage (5), a projection objective module, an imaging position adjustment module (4) and a wafer stage (6), disposed sequentially along a direction of light propagation, the imaging position adjustment module (4) including a plurality of adjustment elements (410) arranged individually, the projection objective module including a plurality of projection objectives (3) each having an FoV in positional correspondence with a respective one of the plurality of adjustment elements (410). The imaging position adjustment module (4) ensures satisfactory imaging quality and FoV stitching quality of the projection objectives (3) by performing translation, magnification, focal plane and other adjustments on an image formed by the projection objective module. The projection objective module is simpler as it does not contain any component or mechanism for imaging position adjustment.

Abstract: A slit shaped area of a patterning device is illuminated to impart a radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section. A projection system projects the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate. As the radiation beam is scanned across the target portion of the substrate, a configuration of the projection system is adjusted and applies a pattern to the target portion. The adjusting may affect a magnitude of an image magnification component of the projection system, along the length of the slit shaped area, or an image distortion in a scan direction. The adjusting is arranged to compensate an effect on pattern overlay accuracy of a distortion of the patterning device.
