Outline Problems caused by reflection Standing Wave Swing Curve Effect Reflective Notching Solutions: Anti-Reflective Coatings Top Anti-Reflective Coatings (TARC) Bottom Anti-Reflective Coatings (BARC)

Standing wave Interference of two waves of the same frequency and amplitude propagating in opposite direction. Node: the peak amplitude is minimum; destructive interference Anti-node: the amplitude is maximum; constructive interference Oscillates in time but peak amplitude profile does not move in space

Standing wave Scalloping of sidewall, reducing critical dimension control Chris A. Mack, Fundamental Principles of Optical Lithography, (c) 2007

Swing curve effect Generically, a swing curve refers to the sinusoidal variation of some lithographic parameter with resist thickness. Interference of Er0 and Er1 Film thickness variation Constructive/destructive interference Energy into resist varies Chris A. Mack, Fundamental Principles of Optical Lithography, (c) 2007

Swing curve Linewidth swing curve sinusoidal variation Increasing trend Chris A. Mack, Fundamental Principles of Optical Lithography, (c) 2007

Reflective notching Incident light reflects off of wafer topography and into an area where resist exposure is not desired. Light scattering Irregular shape Chris A. Mack, Fundamental Principles of Optical Lithography, (c) 2007 AZ Electronic Materials

Solutions Increase absorption in the resist add a dye to the photoresist Use broadband (polychromatic) illumination average out the peaks. Reduce the reflectivity use anti-reflective coatings (ARCs)

Anti-Reflective Coatings Applied to the surface of lenses and other optical elements to reduce reflection. Destructive interference R1 and R2 have the same intensity R1 and R2 are 180⁰ out of phase No reflection from the surface All the energy of the beam must be in the transmitted ray, T
