摘要: The present disclosure provides an ultraviolet radiation control system and a related method for control an ultraviolet radiation in a lithographic apparatus. The ultraviolet radiation control system comprises a housing; a conversion crystal (540), disposed on or in the housing, configured to convert an ultraviolet radiation to a fluorescent radiation; a plurality of photodetectors (550) configured to detect an intensity of a scattered portion of the fluorescent radiation; and at least one diffusive surface (545), disposed on or in the conversion crystal, configured to increase the intensity of the scattered portion of the fluorescent radiation.

摘要: A method for improved sequencing of light delivery in a lithographic process includes determining a sequence of intensities of light to be delivered that includes an interval within the sequence of intensities where substantially no light is delivered to the substrate and delivering light to a substrate by a light source utilizing a digital mirror device (DMD) according to the sequence of intensities.

摘要: A method including obtaining (i) measurements of a parameter of the feature, (ii) data related to a process variable of a patterning process, (iii) a functional behavior of the parameter defined as a function of the process variable based on the measurements of the parameter and the data related to the process variable, (iv) measurements of a failure rate of the feature, and (v) a probability density function of the process variable for a setting of the process variable, converting the probability density function of the process variable to a probability density function of the parameter based on a conversion function, where the conversion function is determined based on the function of the process variable, and determining a parameter limit of the parameter based on the probability density function of the parameter and the measurements of the failure rate.

摘要: Method of exposing a substrate by a patterned radiation beam, comprising: —providing a radiation beam; —imparting the radiation beam by an array of individually controllable elements; —generating, from the radiation beam, a patterned radiation beam, by tilting the individually controllable elements between different positions about a tilting axis; —projecting the patterned radiation beam towards a substrate; —scanning a substrate across the patterned radiation beam in a scanning direction so as to expose the substrate to the patterned radiation beam, whereby the tilting axis of the individually controllable elements is substantially perpendicular to the scanning direction.

摘要: A radiation source arrangement including: a radiation source operable to generate source radiation including source energy pulses; and at least one non-linear energy-filter operable to filter the source radiation to obtain filtered radiation including filtered energy pulses. The at least one non-linear energy-filter is operable to mitigate variation in energy in the filtered radiation by reducing the energy level of the source energy pulses which have an energy level corresponding to one of both extremities of an energy distribution of the source energy pulses by a greater amount than the source energy pulses which have an energy level corresponding to a peak of the energy distribution.

摘要: 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.

摘要: A method is described. The method includes obtaining a relationship between a thickness of a contamination layer formed on a mask and an amount of compensation energy to remove the contamination layer, obtaining a first thickness of a first contamination layer formed on the mask from a thickness measuring device, and applying first compensation energy calculated from the relationship to a light directed to the mask.

摘要: A method for the exposure of image points of a photosensitive layer comprising a photosensitive material on a substrate by means of an optical system. The method including continuously moving the image points with respect to the optical system; and controlling a plurality of secondary beams by means of the optical system individually for individual exposures of each image point, whereby the secondary beams are put either into an ON state or into an OFF state, wherein a) secondary beams in the ON state produce an individual exposure of the image point assigned to the respective secondary beam and b) secondary beams in the OFF state do not produce any individual exposure of the image point assigned to the respective secondary beam; wherein, for the generation of image points with grey tones n>1, individual exposures are carried out by different secondary beams with individual doses D.
