`
`Pref øce
`
`Over the last three decades, accomplishments in microlithographic technology have
`resulted in tremendous advances in the development of semiconductor integrated circuits
`(ICs) and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). As a direct result, devices have become
`both faster and smaller, can handle an ever increasing amount of information, and are used
`in applications from the purely scientific to those of everyday life, With the shrinking of
`device patterns approaching the nanometer scale, the wavelength of the exposing radiation
`has been reduced from the blue-UV wavelength of the mercury g-line (436 nm) into the
`mercury l-line(365 nm), deep UV (DUV), vacuum UV (VUV), and the extreme UV (EUV).
`The krypton fluoride (KrF) excimer laser at 248 nm was adopted as an exposure source in
`DUV regions and has been used in volume manufacturing since 1988.
`Since the first edition of this book, advances in 193-nm argon flouride (ArF) excimer laser
`lithography have allowed for the pursuit of sub-90-nm device fabrication and, when
`combined with high NA technology, polarized illumination, and immersion imaging,
`may be capable of imaging for device generations at 45 nm and beyond. The next generation
`of lithographic systems for 32-nm device technology will likely come from candidates
`including F2 excimer laser (157 nm) lithography, EUV (13.5 nm) lithography, electron pro-
`jection lithography (EPL), nanoimprint lithography (NIL), or maskless lithography (ML2).
`Among these candidates, ML2 such as electron-beam direct-write system has been used for
`small-volume device production with quick turn around time (QTAT) because a mask is not
`necessary. Factors that will determine the ultimate course for a high-volume device pro-
`duction will include cost, throughput, resolution, and extendibility to finer resolution.
`The second edition of this volume is written not only as an introduction to the science
`and technology of microlithography, but also as a reference for those who with more
`experience so that they may obtain a wider knowledge and a deeper understanding of
`the field. The purpose of this update remains consistent with the first edition published in
`1998 and edited by Dr. James R. Sheats and Dr. Bruce W. Smith. New advances in litho-
`graphy have required that we update the coverage of microlithography systems and
`approaches, as well as resist materials, processes, and metrology techniques.
`The contributors were organized and revision work started in 2003. Additional content
`and description have been added regarding immersion lithography, 157-nm lithography
`and EPL in Chapter I System Oaeraieus of Opticnl Steppers and Scanners, Chapter 3 Optics for
`Ptntolithograph, Chapter 5 Excinrcr Laser for Adaanced Mícrolitlrcgraphy, and Chapter 6
`Electron Bearn Litltogrøphy Systenrs. Because the topics of EUV and imprint lithography
`were not addressed in the first edition, Chapter 8 and Chapter t have been added
`to discuss these as well, A detailed explanation of scatterometry has been incorporated
`into Chapter 14 Critical Dinrcnsional Metrology. Chapter 1.5 Electron Beam Nwrclithography
`has also has been widely revised. In order to maintain the continuity of this textbook, that
`proved so valuable in the first edition, these topics and others that may be less obvious, but
`no less significant, have been tied into the other corresponding chapters as necessary. As a
`result, we are certain that this second edition of Miuolithograplry: Science nnd Technology
`will remain a valuable textbook for students, engineers, and researchers and will be a
`useful resource well into the future.

`12.'7 Introduction
`As higher-r'esolution apprclaches to microlithography are pursued, conventional single-
`layer resist materials may fail to meet all process requirements. Multilayer resist tech-
`niques have been investigated for several years, but advances in single-layer technology
`have gencrally posþoned their irrsertion into irigh-vc'rlume productiorr operatiorrs. As lorr¡;
`as singlc-layer resist matcrials can meet requirements for high-aspect-ratio rcsolution,
`plrotosensitivity, plasma-etch resistance, planarization, depth of focus, reflection control,
`and critical dimension (CD) control, they will be preferred over most multiple-layer or
`pse ndo-mrrltiple-layer techr-ric1ues. Tl-ris l¡ecomes increasingly difficult and, at some point,
`the lithographer needs to consider the advantages of dividing the functions of a single-
`layer resist into separate layers. Fewer layers are better and the ultimate acceptance of any
`multiplayer technique will be determined by the simplicity of the overall process.
`To understand the potential advanta¡;es of multiple-layer lithographic materials and
`ptocesses, the general requirements of a photoresist should first be addressed. Although
`most resist requilements have existed for many generations of integrated circuit ploccs-
`sing, thc' importance of a numbcr of issues has recently increased dramatically.
`
`12.1.'l Rcsist Sensitivity
`Bccause resist sensitivity directly affects process throughput, it is a fundamental consider-
`ation for thc cvaluation of resist process capability. In general, resist sensitivity can be
`shown to be proportional to thickness. For a direct photochcmical (not chcmically ampii
`fiecl), nonbleaching resist matcrial, this is an exponential relationship dctermined by resist
`absorption and chemical qr-rantum efficiency. lloweveL as resist bleaching mechanisnrs are
`considcrccl (as with the photclchcmical conversion of diazonapthoquinone to irrderre
`calboxylic acicl), clynarnic .rbsorptiotr exists, whiclr iniloduccs sor¡re addititxral consider-
`ations to this exponentiai decay. With chemically amplificd resists, quantum cfficierrcy is
`sufficicntly high that the depenclence of ser-rsitivity on resist thickness becomes less of an
`issuc and other considerations becomc. of more concern.

`
`where ì is wavelength, NA is numerical aperture, and k2 is a process-dependent factor
`determined by process specification and requirement (a typical value for k2 for a single-
`layer resist may be near 0.5, as shown in Chapter 11). As optical lithographic technology is
`pushed toward sub-200-mm wavelengths at numerical apertures greater than 0'6, DOF
`may fall below 0.5 pm. This presents an interesting challenge for substrate topography and
`photoresist thickness issues. With such a small useful DOF, and without the use of some
`method of planarization, it is not easy to predict exactly how large a fraction of this range
`could be consumed by photoresist thickness.
`
`"12.1.3 Limitations of Resist Aspect Ratio
`The physical and chemical nature of a polymeric resist material will determine its limi-
`tations for high-aspect-ratio patterning. Additionally, the complex nature of development
`and process chemistry will influence limitations. As aspect ratio less than 3:L is common
`for conventional single-layer resists. The limit to how fine the resolution can be for
`a single-layer resist of a given thickness is influenced to a large extent by polymer flow
`properties including glass transition temperature (Tr) and melting point (T-). Because
`iheimoplastic polymeric behavior is desired during processing, in which photoresist
`materials can go through cycles of heating, flowing, and cooling, they generally possess
`T, values in the 70'C-180"C range. Materials of lower T, will inherently be capable of
`lower-aspect-ratio imaging.
`
`'12.1.4 Reflection and Scattering Effects
`Imaging over reflective substrates such as metal or polysilicon can allow significant
`intensity variation within a resist film. High levels of reflectivity may produce overexpo-
`sure, manifested not only as a bulk effect over the entire imaged file, but also at pattern-
`specific locations such as line boundaries and corners. This is often referred to as reflectiue
`lùte notchbtg or neckíng, which is a result of the scattering of radiation to unwanted field
`regions. Substrate reflection will affect the overexposure latitude and ultimately lead to a
`reãuction in focal depth, limiting the amount of tolerable image degradation. To under-
`stand the impact of exposure latitude on depth of focus, consider imaging a feature with
`poor modulation. If a resist process is capable of resolving such a feature, it is likely to be
`possible only within a limited range of exposure dose. For a positive resist, overexPosure
`èan result in complete feature loss and underexposure can result in scumming. There is
`an intimate relationship, therefore, between depth of focus and exposure latitude.
`Decreasing the demands on focal depth increases exposure latitude. For a reflective
`substrate, if a large degree of overexposure latitude must be tolerated, the useful
`depth of focus will be reduced significantly. It is desirable to reduce any reflected contri-
`bution to exposure to eliminate feature distortion from scattering and to reduce
`detrimental effects on focal depth, This can be accomplished in a single-layer resist by
`several methods. First, because absorption is dependent on resist thickness, a thicker
`absorbing resist layer will decrease the impact of reflection. Other requirements drive
`resist toward thinner layers, however, reducing the practicality of this method. A second
`alternative is to increase the absorption of the resist so that little radiation is allowed to
`penetrate to the resist-substrate interface and then reflected back through the resist. The
`àddltiot-t of dyes into a resist will accomplish this, but at the cost of resist-sidewall
`sensitivity, and resolution, The beneficial dynamic bleaching mechanism of the diazo-
`naphthaquinone (DNQ)/novolac materials is undermined by the addition of an
`absorbing dye that makes no direct contribution to the photochemical process, An

`
`alternative approach to reduction is the use of a rnultiplayer resist system, incorporatirrg
`a scparate antireflectivc layer.
`
`12.1.5 Reflective Standing Wave Effects
`An additional reflection phenomena that deserves corrsideration is the resist standing wave
`effect. This is an exposure variation within a resist layer resulting from cohererrt interference
`between incident and reflected radiation. The situatio
