Abstract
This paper describes the use of a 193 nm surface imaging resist in a new small-field, deep-UV projection exposure system. The 193 nm surface imaging technology utilizes commercial photoresists, in conjunction with a small field step-and-repeat exposure system. Typical processing characteristics of the imaging chemistry are presented, along with a detailed description of the projection exposure system. The resist uses vapor phase silylation with oxygen RIE developing and has been shown to provide wide focus latitude and better than 0.2 micrometers resolution. The imaging system uses a catadioptric lens with 0.5 NA for 0.20 images.
