A single-layer resist process for a technology nodes at or below 65nm utilizing a novel supercritical dry technique and Electron-beam Projection Lithography (EPL) technology is discussed. EPL is inhernelty advantageous in imaging sub-65nm geometries with high aspect ratios. Pattern collapse of these high aspect ratio (resist) structures, however, is a critical and limiting issue. By employing our novel supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) dry technique, 70nm and 60nm lines and spaces patterns with a resist thickness of 250nm, whose aspect ratio is 3.5 and 4.2 respectively, have been successfully demonstrated without resist pattern collapse.
