Abstract

The CD requirements for the 45nm-node will become tighter so as it will be difficult to achieve with 65nm node technologies. In this paper, a method to improve resolution by using DRECE (Dry-etching Resistance Enhancement bottom-Coating for Eb) will be described. After all, DRECE has five times as high dry-etch resistance than the EB resist, and this enables to accept higher anisotropic dry etching condition. By optimizing dry etching conditions, the CD iso-dense bias dropped to 1/3 and the CD shift was reduced to 1/2. Also, there was no negative effect to CD uniformity. From these results, we propose the use of DRECE for the 45nm-node technology.
