Abstract

To make sure a baseline process will be ready for the evaluation of the NXE:3300, imec evaluates promising new EUV resist materials with regards to imaging, process window and line width roughness (LWR) performance. From those screening evaluations, highest performing materials meeting dose sensitivity requirements are selected to be installed on the coat/develop track. This work details the process optimization results of the different selected resist platforms with regards to full wafer processing. Evaluations are executed on the ASML NXE:3100 equipped with a laser-assisted discharge produced plasma source from XTREME technologies, and interfaced to a TEL CLEAN TRACKTM LITHIUS ProTM -EUV.
