Patent number: 7286207Abstract: A semiconductor wafer is exposed with a pattern from a mask or reticle in an exposure tool. The exposure tool has an adjustable lens system and a light source, which is tunable in wavelength. A first exposure is performed with a tuned first wavelength and a first setting of the lenses. Prior to performing a second exposure onto the same wafer and into the same resist layer, the wavelength of the light source is varied to a second wavelength in order to mimic a focus offset. A resulting image shift at the slit edges of the scanning system due to chromatic aberration is then corrected for by setting the lens system in dependence of the difference between the tuned first and second wavelength. Having tuned second wavelength of the light source and having set the lens system, the second exposure is performed. A continuous adjustment of the lens system based upon a continuously varying light source wavelength can be accomplished.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: Infineon Technologies, AGInventors: Christoph Nölscher, Andreas Jahnke

Publication number: 20060290919Abstract: A method for testing the generation of scattered light by photolithographic imaging devices is disclosed. In one embodiment, measuring structures that are to be imaged in a photoresist are provided in the vicinity of deliberately structured sections that cause scattered light in the imaging device to be tested, in a photomask. The scattered light which is caused as a function of the configuration of the sections acts on the measurement structures in the photoresist and leads to changes in their CD, which is measured in the photoresist, and allows conclusions to be drawn about the scattered-light behavior of the imaging device. The method is suitable for specifically testing the lens system of the imaging device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Andreas Jahnke, Patrick Klingbeil, Ralf Ziebold, Lars Voelkel, Alberto Lopez-Gomez, Thomas Marschner

Patent number: 5821539Abstract: A directly converting radiation detector with a diode structure having first and second operating electrodes on opposite sides of a semiconductor body has an additional injector electrode, which injects charge carriers for the compensating charged traps in the semiconductor body.
