  • Mask overlay control
    Patent number: 9017903
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method of patterning a workpiece with a mask, wherein a scale factor between a geometry of the mask and a corresponding target shape of the mask is determined. The scale factor results from thermal expansion of the mask and geometry due to heating of the mask during exposure to radiation by an electron beam (e-beam) in the mask manufacturing process. A number of radiation pulses necessary to dispose the geometry on the mask is determined. A scale factor for the mask is then determined from the number of pulses. The target shape is then generated on the mask by re-scaling the geometry according to the scale factor prior to mask manufacturing. This method compensates for thermal deformation due to e-beam heating to improve OVL variability in advanced technology nodes.

  • Mask blank for scattering effect reduction
    Patent number: 8999611
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate a method of forming a photomask for a deep ultraviolet photolithography process (e.g., having an exposing radiation with a wavelength of 193 nm). The method provides a mask blank for a deep ultraviolet photolithography process. The mask blank has a transparent substrate, an amorphous isolation layer located over the transparent substrate, and a photoresist layer located over the amorphous isolation layer. The photoresist layer is patterned by selectively removing portions of the photoresist layer using a beam of electrons. The amorphous isolation layer is subsequently etched according to the patterned photoresist layer to form one or more mask openings. The amorphous isolation layer isolates electrons backscattered from the beam of electrons from the photoresist layer during patterning, thereby mitigating CD and overlay errors caused by backscattered electrons.

    Patent number: 8776720
    Abstract: A linear-type microwave-excited plasma source mainly comprises a reacting chamber, a rectangular waveguide and a linear biased slot in between. A linear quartz plate with an o-ring embedded in the biased slot is required so as to keep the reaction chamber in low pressure condition. Plasma will be excited in the reacting chamber by microwave powers radiating from the biased slot. A linear-type movable dielectric material can be disposed in the waveguide to control the radiation intensity of microwave, such that the length of the linear-type plasma source is able be extended without increasing input microwave powers and thus large-area low-cost plasma-processing applications can be implemented.
