Abstract

Owing to spin process used for mask manufacturing, the CD difference can be inevitably made in the radial direction by the centrifugal force. This difference can degrade CD uniformity of the given mask. So the ability of good maskmaking is closely related to the reduction of this difference as much as possible. In this paper, the CDCM (Critical Dimension Correction Method) is proposed. First, CD tendency of the given mask is mapped out. Then overall CD correction is done by making additional exposure for dose correction on the relatively underdeveloped CD region. The CDCM can also give some possibilities of improving wafer resolution by applying to the underdeveloped CD patterns on the wafer which are not corrected by layout design.
