By taking advantage of the grazing-incidence configuration and with a rotation of the gratings under the x-ray beam, several orders of the Bragg rods were probed and led to the extraction of the in-depth profile of the lines. The extracted in-depth profile is compared with 3D atomic force microscopy results. The methodology developed mimics the one of critical dimension SAXS measurements, in transmission, to enable future comparison between the two approaches as well as building complementary modeling. These results open new perspectives for in-line x-ray metrology since the Cu-Kα x-ray source is widely spread and used by the x-ray community.","PeriodicalId":499761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of micro/nanopatterning, materials, and metrology","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135904317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The exposure concept of DS and advantage of solid-state laser as an exposure light source is described. DS proof-of-concept tool with resolution of half-pitch 80 nm L/S was developed. The exposure results of maskless unique application, such as large area printing and chip ID printing for security purposes, are shown.","PeriodicalId":499761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of micro/nanopatterning, materials, and metrology","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135658689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
