We are developing this technology as \"EB stepper\" that has high resolution and throughput. EB projection system also needs a development of EB reticle. A scattering stencil type (thin silicon membrane with openings representing the pattern to be exposed) reticle with a grid-grillage structure is being investigated. In the case of a conventional cell projection mask which consists of absorbers and apertures, the deformation caused by thermal expansion can not be ignored for a quarter-micron lithography. The temperature at the beam position rises drastically with the irradiation power of EB. We evaluated the deformation of a scattering stencil reticle, due to thermal expansion and bending by gravity.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

In order to overcome these problems, we need small SFM volumes and simple SFM structures. In this report we propose a micro-fabricated SFM device. We expect it to replace the cantilever, deflection detection unit and the scanner currently being used in traditional SFMs.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

To achieve such benefits, the organic BARC materials should have strong absorption at the exposure wavelength, high etch rate and matching to commercial chemically amplified resist. In design concept, the formulation of organic BARC material requires a minimum of two functional parts i.e., a chromophore to control the reflection and a cross-linking part to avoid intermixing with resist cast on it. In this paper, we report the performance of new organic BARC materials designed to work for lithographic applications at 248 nm as well as 193 nm simultaneously.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

In order to obtain higher packing densities, the small dimension of memory devices is essential. It has been reported that the threshold voltage shift becomes larger as the channel width of MOSFET memory is narrower. However, it is easily speculated that as the channel width becomes narrower, the distribution of threshold voltage shift also becomes larger. In this paper, the width dependence of threshold voltage shift and its distribution is evaluated in narrow channel MOSFET memories with silicon nano-crystal floating gates. It is indicated that the precise control of silicon nano-crystal distribution is necessary for small memory devices.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

The accurate simulation of such columns is essential for their design and optimization, particularly in the case of state-of-the-art charged particle lithography columns which use projection optics with high beam currents. Historically, the electron optical aberrations have been computed using paraxial rays and aberration integrals, while the Coulomb aberrations have been simulated using N-body Monte Carlo simulation with thin-lens approximations for the lenses. These approaches have many drawbacks, including: (a) The aberrations of cathode lenses cannot be accurately analyzed; (b) The thin-lens approximations don't allow the lens aberrations to be properly combined with the Coulomb effects; (c) The conventional aberration theory divides the aberrations into terms of various orders, and it is hard to know a priori how many orders are required for an accurate solution; (d) The thin-lens approximations are quite unrealistic for electrostatic lenses with extended fields. A new simulation method has been developed that computes the aberrations and Coulomb interactions simultaneously in a unified way, by direct ray tracing. This new method overcomes all problems mentioned above and provides accurate results in a reasonable computation time.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.
