  • Publication number: 20060166453
    Abstract: A method for forming a patterned photosensitive material layer over a substrate is described. A photosensitive material layer is formed on a substrate and then exposed. The selected parameters of the photosensitive material layer or between the photosensitive material layer and the predetermined layer are measured for determining whether the exposed patterns of the photosensitive material layer are acceptable. A development step is performed when the exposed patterns of the photosensitive material layer are found to be acceptable. An apparatus for forming a patterned photosensitive material layer is also described, which utilizes the aforementioned method and has a mechanism capable of feeding back offsets of the measured parameters in real time for reducing the cycle time and the rework time in the lithography process.

  • Publication number: 20060127820
    Abstract: A method for forming a photoresist pattern is described. A photoresist layer is first formed over a substrate, and then an exposure process and a development process are performed to pattern the photoresist layer so as to form a patterned photoresist layer. Next, a multiple-trimming process is performed to trim the patterned photoresist lay to form a photoresist pattern. The multiple-trimming process includes at least one step of alkaline solution treatment and/or at least one step of neutral solution treatment. The method is applicable for improving properties of smoothness of the surface, and uniformity and minification of critical dimensions of the photoresist patterns.

  • Patent number: 7033903
    Abstract: A method for forming a patterned photoresist layer aligned with a predetermined layer is described. A photoresist layer is formed on a substrate and then exposed. The overlay offset between the exposed portions of the photoresist layer and the predetermined layer is measured for determining whether the exposed portions of the photoresist layer are aligned with the predetermined layer. A development step is performed when the exposed portions of the photoresist layer are found to align with the predetermined layer. An apparatus for forming a patterned photoresist layer is also described, which utilizes the aforementioned method and has a mechanism capable of feeding back the overlay offset in real time for reducing the cycle time and the rework time in the lithography process.

  • Patent number: 6465139
    Abstract: The invention is a mask pattern comprising a first region that is strip-shaped and has two long sides and two short sides, and two second regions that are strip-shaped with each region having two long sides and two short sides, in which the short sides of the second regions are shorter than the sides of the first region, and the second regions extend in a lengthwise direction from the two short sides of the first region, respectively, with the short sides of the second regions adjacent to the short sides of the first region. The mask pattern is used to define a floating gate region in a flash memory.
