摘要

IDEALSmile is introduced as a new exposure technique that realizes k_1=0.29. In this paper IDEALSmile is targeted for contact hole patterns (C/H). The results validate that it is possible to simultaneously expose not only k_1=0.32 half-pitch dense and isolated C/H patterns, but also different pitches using Canon FPA-5000ES3 (KrF, NA=0.73), which is impossible by conventional methods. Since these results are obtained using a binary mask and modified illumination with single exposure, there are no concerns with regards to a decrease in throughput and an increase in cost of ownership. However, one of the issues in fabricating C/H patterns is the mask error enhancement factor (MEEF). Our simulation has shown that IDEALSmile exhibits good MEEF. Although there are questions regarding optical microlithography for critical C/H patterning, the IDEALSmile exposure method has the potential to be the solution. By attaining k_1=0.32, printing 100nm C/H patterns can be achieved with a single exposure using KrF lithography, such as the Canon FPA-5000ES4 (KrF, NA=0.80). Furthermore, the IDEALSmile technique using ArF or F2 lithography will be effective for C/H patterns below the 100nm node. There is no doubt that optical microlithography will continue for some time.
