Resist Loss Model for the EUV Stochastic Defectivity Cliffs

Resist Loss Model for the EUV Stochastic Defectivity Cliffs
by Fred Chen on 02-06-2025 at 10:00 am
Categories: Lithography

Exposing EUV 1

The occurrences of notorious stochastic defects in EUV lithography have resulted in CD or corresponding dose windows with the lower and higher bounds being characterized as “cliffs” [1-3], since the defect density increases exponentially when approaching these bounds. The defects at lower doses have been attributed to the… Read More
