Printability of buried mask defects in extreme UV lithography
2011
A programmed-defect mask consisting of both bump- and pit-type defects on the LTEM mask substrate has been
successfully fabricated. It is seen that pit-type defects are less printable because they are more smoothed out by the
employed MLM deposition process. Specifically, all bump-type defects print even at the smallest height split of 1.7 nm
whereas pit-type defects print only at the largest depth split of 5.7 nm. At this depth, the largest nonprintable 1D and 2D
defect widths are about 23 nm and 64 nm, respectively.
