EUV Resist Degradation with Outgassing at Higher Doses

Dosing for EUV lithography walks a fine line between productivity and defectivity. Fabs can choose higher-dose exposures to suppress photon shot noise [1]. However, higher doses require EUV machines to scan the wafer at slower speeds, degrading throughput [2].

On the other hand, there is the threat of resist thickness loss that… Read More
