Investigation of sensitivity of extreme ultraviolet resists to out-of-band radiation
A method to evaluate the sensitivity of photoresists used for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography has been developed. EUV sources produce out-of-band radiation and the reflective optics used in EUV tools reflect some of this out-of-band light on the wafer plane. The effect of exposing these photoresists to this unwanted light can reduce the image contrast on the wafer, and thereby ... Read more
