Demagnify by Bias

 

Typically 3X 

 

On the sweet spot,

The Critical Gap is equal to the square of the width of the clear mask feature divided by three times the wavelength:

 

 

 

 

Dense lines

 

With multiple exposures

And single development

 


 

 

Critical Condition

The Cornu spiral is used to describe the section of a line image due to a clear mask feature

 

Cornu Spiral:

 


Definition:

The Critical Condition occurs at maximum amplitude (red vector)

 

with OPTIMUM RESOLUTION and CONTRAST

 

the Critical Gap Gc depends on:

   1)  the square of the size W of the clear mask feature, and therefore on

   2)  the square of the demagnification factor,M, for print feature size w

       using radiation of mean wavelength l.

 

·       The more you demagnify, the bigger the Gap

    (notice the power of 2)

 

Masks

·       Have large features

·       Are compact and

·       Easily formed

 

 

Technique is:

         Demonstrated to 25 nm

         Extensible to 15 nm

        Has high throughput with broad band

        Uses intense, compact relativistic light source

         Has physical simplicity,

          0.8 nm X-rays used in proximity without lenses

        Has competitive (Silverman) X-factor** ~10

         Economic masks

 

**10X = equipment cost in $M/wafers per hour

 

 

Further enhancements:

          Mask Shaping for Temporal and Spatial Coherence (MASC)

Background


The breakthrough is applied to the field of Micro-Lithography as the major tool in development and production of micro-electronic devices, integrated circuits and nanotechnology..

Lithography, the printing of patterns on surfaces, is both a driving force and a bottleneck in semiconductor manufacturing and in microfabrication. Classical lithography is based on the concept of fidelity in reproducing the mask pattern onto the wafer. Shrinking critical dimension (CD) requirements in semiconductor manufacturing demand development of lithographic techniques producing desired patterns not necessarily being a mask pattern replica. Next Generation Lithography (NGL) implies the departure from the classical concept of replication fidelity.
Among NGLs competing for sub-100 nm patterning, proximity X-ray lithography (PXL) is the most advanced and mature. PXL was first introduced as a Post Optical Lithography and unavoidably inherited the classical tendency of replication fidelity. Restricted by this concept, PXL was thought to be limited to 70-75 nm imaging and printing capability at the smallest working mask/wafer gaps of 7-10 um. The breakthrough achieves ultra-high resolution beyond 25 nm by applying the concept of NGL.

There is a new way of doing proximity X-ray lithography that extends its limits.  The underlying physics are explained in the book.  It accounts for changes to image fidelity in copying from masks.  It shows there are true minima that belie previous engineering choices.  Simulations, while necessary for developing techniques, are obfuscating without that backbone of physical insight.  It is not hard to grasp.  This book is for those with an interest in cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication or for those interested in the broader range of Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems.  The major part of research in X-ray lithography is now performed with deep X-ray where penetration is greater than in conventional proximity.  This book is also for practitioners needing to understand current developments arising from traditional 1x proximity X-ray.

 

It may not be likely that X-ray will return immediately to its earlier status as leading Next Generation Lithography.  No competitor is more likely.  What the future holds as optical lithography becomes increasingly expensive and yield sensitive is hard to guess.  Predictably, optical will get more difficult before there is systematic change.

 

Recent development of X-ray has therefore fallen behind its natural enhancement.  Many advantages accrue from using short wavelength radiation to perform lithography for the microfabrication of dense devices.  X-ray has the advantage that it has been mature, with known and conventional costs - it remains available, not only for MEMS, but for any manufacturer with a niche product.
