Abstract: Vacuum-integrated photoresist-less methods and apparatuses for forming metal hardmasks can provide sub-30 nm patterning resolution. A metal-containing (e.g., metal salt or organometallic compound) film that is sensitive to a patterning agent is deposited on a semiconductor substrate. The metal-containing film is then patterned directly (i.e., without the use of a photoresist) by exposure to the patterning agent in a vacuum ambient to form the metal mask. For example, the metal-containing film is photosensitive and the patterning is conducted using sub-30 nm wavelength optical lithography, such as EUV lithography.

Abstract: A metrology device that can determine at least one characteristics of a sample is disclosed. The metrology device includes an optical system that uses spatially coherent light with a first and a second objective lens as well as a detector that detects light reflected from the sample. The objective lenses use numerical apertures sufficient to produce a small probe size, e.g., less than 200 ?m, while a spatial filter is used to reduce the effective numerical aperture of the optical system as seen by the detector to avoid loss of information and demanding computation requirements caused by the large angular spread due to large numerical apertures. The spatial filter permits light to pass in a desired range of angles, while blocking the remaining light and is positioned to prevent use of the full spatial extent of at least one of the first objective lens and the second objective lens.

Abstract: An optical metrology device produces beams of light with varying wavelengths in a spectral range for measurement of a sample that is at least partially transparent to the spectral range. The light is obliquely incident on the sample, where a portion of the light is reflected off the top surface and a portion is transmitted through the sample and is reflected off the bottom surface. The incident light and/or reflected light is polarized and a phase modulator, such as a photoelastic modulator or electrooptic modulator, is adjusted based on the wavelengths in each beam of light to produce a same retardation of polarization for each beam of light. The reflected light that is received by a detector does not include light reflected from the bottom surface of the sample. A characteristic of a buried structure below the top surface of the sample is determined using the detected reflected light.
