Abstract

Given the increasingly stringent CD requirements for double patterning at the 32nm node and beyond the question arises as to how best to correct for CD non-uniformity at litho and etch. For example, is it best to apply a dose correction over the wafer while keeping the PEB plate as uniform as possible, or should the dose be kept constant and PEB CD tuning used to correct. In this work we present experimental data, obtained on a state of the art ASML XT:1900Gi and Sokudo RF^3S cluster, on both of these approaches, as well as on a combined approach utilizing both PEB CD tuning and dose correction.
