3 Clean room: lithography must be carried out in a clean-room environment [A] because the presence of dust particles [B] will lower yields. [A] yield = # good chips / # total chips [B] 1. Pinhole 2. Current constriction 3. S/C or O/C 3
4 "clean" quantified: Figure Particle-size distribution curve for English (---) and metric ( ) classes of clean rooms. 4 ENGLISH System Class 100 = 100 particles/ft 3 (particle size >= 0.5 µm) or particles / m 3 (particle size >= 0.1 µm) cleanliness cost trade-off 1 ft = m 1 ft 3 = m 3 4

14 Yield see fig. [B] slide #3 Yield for a 10-mask lithographic process with various defect densities per level. the yield of a lithographic step depends critically on mask cleanliness, or how many fatal defects are presence: In order to improve yield, masks are cleaned / inspected regularly 14

16 Photoresist There are two types of resists: positive and negative. The final pattern on wafer is the same as (+) or opposite to ( ) those on mask. It is called photo-resist because: photo it responds to photons resist it resists etching / dopant atoms, protecting the layer underneath Suppliers: AZ, Shipley, Sumitomo photo resist 16
17 The quality of the resist and the exposure / development process is measured by the steepness of the resist wall, or the contrast ratio: Figure Exposure-response curve and cross section of the resist image after development. 1 (a) Positive photoresist; (b) negative photoresist. source: ITRS2011, Table LITH3B 17

19 Pattern transfer transfers the pattern which appears on the photoresist onto the substrate (Si). The transfer process can be subtractive [A], or additive [B] in nature. [A] Subtractive: etching (for oxide removal, interconnect) [B] Additive: metallization (S/D metal, via filling) Lift-Off process Some process (such as doping through photoresist) is neither subtractive nor additive. 19

36 EUV: extreme-ultra violet lithography In an laser produced plasma (LPP)-based system, EUV light is produced by bombarding a sliver of tin with a high-power laser. The light is then gathered by specially engineered EUV mirrors, which then focus an EUV beam in the EUV scanner to produce microchip patterns. ITRS2009: Table LITH5C 36

43 photolithography process, principle, tools resolution limits Conclusions resolution-enhancement techniques PSM, OPC, Immersion, DP, future lithographic systems EUV, XRL, ML2 (EBL, IBL), NIL,... from ITRS2009:... To continue as the dominant technique for leading-edge critical layer lithography, resolution enhancement techniques (RETs) such as off-axis illumination (OAI), phase shifting masks (PSMs), and optical proximity corrections (OPCs) are being used with imaging systems at the 193 nm wavelength. In addition to RETs, lenses with increasing numerical apertures and decreasing aberrations will be required to extend the life of optical lithography. Liquid immersion imaging with a fluid between the final lens element and the wafer is also being used to extend optical lithography. 43
