In this paper, we systematically explore potential Line edge roughness (LER) improvements that may be achieved on both line and via patterns by using the deposition/etch cycling process by virtual fabrication. The results show that deposition/etch cycling process is very effective in reducing high frequency noise and most of the LER and CD uniformity improvement occurs during the first deposition/etch cycle. These results can provide quantitative guidance on the optimal selection of deposition/etch amounts and the number of cycles needed to reduce LER.
