Predicting Stochastic EUV 1

Recently, the statistics of secondary electron noise and its impact on defect probability in EUV lithography has been directly addressed for the first time[1]. In this article, we will take into account some updated blur models for EUV resists, both of the chemically amplified (CAR) and metal oxide (MOR) types.

First, let’s review… Read More
