Abstract
In this study, we present the performance of an extreme ultraviolet interference lithography (EUV-IL) setup that was reconstructed at Taiwan Light Source 21B2 EUV beamline in the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), Taiwan. An easy-to-perform fabrication method to produce a high-quality transmission grating mask and a simple design of experimental setup for EUV-IL were developed. The current EUV-IL setup is capable of fabricating line/space patterns down to 25 nm half-pitch in hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) resist. Preliminary exposure results revealed that optimized slit width and exposure time significantly improved line/space pattern quality. The current EUV-IL tool at NSRRC can be used for nano-patterning and resist screening to advance the next generation of semiconductor devices.
