 Preface

No one ever thought that Moore’s law would go on forever, that feature widths
would continue to decrease by a factor of two every six years, or that the num-
ber of gates on a chip would double every six years or so. But these rates have
never slowed down; if anything, they have become slightly faster. And now,
with features in production just a few dozen atoms wide, the end is almost
in sight. How will we deal with features ten atoms wide? What if they’re not
always ten, but sometimes nine and sometimes eleven? Will we call the two in
the middle the thumbs, and the two at the edges the pinkies? Suppose gates
shrink to just a few atoms. What will the wires connecting them look like?
The paths we have taken to get this far are fascinating, often using effects
that everyone knew about, but were too constrained by long-standing inhi-
bitions to consider practical. For example, immersion microscopy, in which a
liquid between the objective and the work-piece is used to improve resolu-
tion, was probably older than anyone working in lithography. But for many
years the worst crime a lab technician could commit was to allow anything
to touch the surface of a resist-coated wafer. Yet now, exposing wafers under
water is the mainstream method for fine line patterning.
As another example, contact printing was, and still is, a method for obtain-
ing medium levels of resolution. Combined with the shorter wavelengths of
X-rays, it promised resolutions below 100 nm. But the inhibition against
touching mask to wafer in a production environment was so strong that even
a 10 micron gap between the mask and wafer was considered dangerously
small. This was one of the factors that ultimately led to the abandonment of
X-ray lithography. Yet now, imprinting, in which the mask is literally pushed
into the resist, is a major contender for the next generation of lithography.
As a final example, it has been long recognized that isolated features can
be made narrower than densely packed ones. The trick is to control the devel-
oping, so as not to make the feature width zero, i.e., not to lose the feature
completely. In addition, the use of double exposures with stencil masks was
well known. But the tighter control and the longer exposure time did not
seem suitable for a production environment. Nevertheless, the use of a first
exposure for every other feature, and a second exposure for the remaining
features, is also a major contender for the next generation of lithography.

xxiv Preface

This book is intended as a guide to the novice reading technical jour-

nals or facing the complexities of a conference dealing with lithography or
nano-manufacturing. The novice may be a graduate student to whom every-
thing is new, or he/she may be an experienced worker in a peripheral field.
The authors, all experts in their fields, were instructed to give enough back-
ground information to enable novices to understand, and appreciate, new
papers in those fields. My thanks to them for their patience in accepting this
challenge.
The future belongs to the novice, armed with the knowledge of the past,
but unhampered by its inhibitions. How will Moore’s law end? I look for-
ward to finding out.

Optical projection lithography
B. W. SMITH , Rochester Institute of Technology, USA

DOI: 10.1533/9780857098757.1

Abstract: Optical projection lithography has been the predominant

method of micro- and nano-patterning for most semiconductor and
nanotechnology applications. This chapter addresses the approaches,
systems, and materials that have been used, as optical lithography has
enabled patterning from the micrometer scale down to the nanometer
scale. The technology involved with the development of optical
systems and imaging methods is discussed, including the optics, sources,
photomasks, illumination, and techniques for resolution enhancement.

Key words: optical lithography, microlithography, projection lithography,

DUV lithography.

1.1 Introduction
Optical projection lithography has been a key enabler as the functionality
in nanoelectronic, nanophotonic, and nanobiological devices has increased.
To understand the role that optical lithography plays in achieving higher
resolution and greater density devices, the silicon semiconductor integrated
circuit (IC) is most often looked to. This chapter provides a description of
the underlying technology of optical lithography for nanoscale patterning as
it has evolved through generations of the IC into the deep sub-wavelength,
nanometer-level technology of today. A review of the fundamentals of pro-
jection UV optical lithography is given, followed by in-depth description of
the technology used to advance IC device performance to near theoretical
limits. Application of optical lithography to new generations of nanoelec-
tronic devices, as well as into new nanoscale frontiers, will continue to make
use of this core enabling technology.

1.2 Lithography technology and trends

Optical lithography has been the dominant method of patterning for semi-
conductor device manufacturing since the inception of the IC. Although
other lithography approaches, such as electron beam, X-ray, ion-beam,
imprint, and extreme ultra-violet (EUV) have been pursued (and are

discussed in later chapters), the needs of high volume, high resolution chip
production have historically been met mostly by optical methods. By looking
at current and past editions of the International Technology Roadmap for
Semiconductors (ITRS), variations to the basic optical lithography theme
are evident.1 Throughout the years, improvements have included the use of
shorter wavelengths, larger numerical apertures (NA), customized illumi-
nation, phase-shifting masks, mask correction methods, immersion lithogra-
phy, constrained geometry, and co-optimization of enhancement methods to
achieve the resolution, focal depth, and overlay control required for nano-
scale device patterning.
Technology trends that follow roadmaps like the ITRS often track the
needs and progress of various IC types, such as memory devices, with high
regularity and duty ratios near 1:1 (line-to-space ratio), and microprocessors
with less regularity and more sparse duty ratios. Throughout the genera-
tions of these devices, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and, more
recently, flash memory have driven dense pattern geometry to the smallest
levels. IC geometry size is often scaled in terms of the half-pitch. The con-
cept of half-pitch is not based on a single geometric feature but instead
derived to establish a comparative metric that could be used for devices’
various geometry density. It is defined simply as one half of the sum of a line
and a space. Although the less dense patterns for microprocessor devices
are generally smaller than those for memory devices, their corresponding
half-pitch has conformed to less aggressive scaling. Figure 1.1 shows how
typical gate geometry defines critical dimension (CD) lines and pitch, where
the CD is the smallest feature of interest in a particular device level.
A summary of IC trends and the corresponding lithography technology
is shown in Table 1.1, where device ‘generations’ are listed together with

corresponding half-pitch dimensions and lithographic exposure wave-

lengths. As generations shrink toward device features that are a fraction of
the exposing wavelength, constraints have been placed on the structure, ori-
entation, and variety of geometry involved so that a given wavelength tech-
nology can be used as long as possible. While earlier IC generations may
have allowed for nearly unrestricted geometry choices, current and future
devices demand tight constraints. This can be seen for example in Fig. 1.2,
where the evolution of a microprocessor design is shown for generations
from 90 to 32 nm.2 As shown, 90 nm and larger generations had allowed
design layout that only constrained gates to one direction with few other
limitations. The evolution to 65 nm added design rules for a variety of allow-
able pitch values. For 45 and 32 nm design rules, all gates are constrained to
one direction with a single pitch. This trending toward more regular, single
pitch ‘grating’-like designs has allowed for the extension toward higher den-
sity and smaller device geometry.
As Table 1.1 shows, the progress of lithography has resulted in the scal-
ing of resolution with wavelength (or vice versa if thought of in terms of
the demands of resolution). Early generation device geometry was many

and maturity points for several generations. The scaling factor (NA/k1n) is
a measure of resolution with respect to wavelength, with a limit at a quar-
ter-wavelength (λ/4n). Here, λ is wavelength, NA is the lens numerical
aperture, k1 is a process scaling factor, and n is the image media refractive
index. Additional discussion of these terms is provided later in this chap-
ter. Immersion lithography has achieved an impressive scaling factor of a
third-wavelength (λ/3n). The timing of the technology advances necessary
for such scaling has been tied to the incremental learning that has occurred
during these wavelength transitions.

1.3 Fundamentals of optical lithography

The basic components of an optical projection lithography system are shown
in Fig. 1.4. These include a source of uniform ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a
photomask, a projection lens (also referred to as an objective lens), and an
image plane. Projection lithography systems like this are most often config-
ured using Köhler illumination, in the same manner as a conventional opti-
cal microscope. In a Köhler illuminated system, the source is imaged into
the pupil plane of the objective lens and the object (the mask) is imaged
at the image (the wafer) plane. This is shown in Fig. 1.5a, where rays are
traced through the system to show these image locations. There are several
NA locations in the configuration corresponding to object and image sides
of the condenser lens and the projection lens. Specifically, θi and θi* are the
half-collection angles associated with the condenser lens, where the asso-
ciated NAs in a media with refractive index n are NAi = sinθi and NAi* =
sinθ1*. The collection angles associated with the projection lens are θm (on
the mask side of the lens) and θw (on the wafer side). The corresponding
NAs are NAm = nsinθm and NAw = nsinθw. In a conventional projection sys-
tem, air is the image medium and NAw is simply sinθw. For an immersion
lithography system, NAw is increased by the refractive index of the immer-
sion fluid, which is about 1.44 at 193 nm with water. The reduction value of
the projection lens is the ratio of NAw/NAm.
Through the manipulation of these apertures relative to each other, con-
trol of the spatial coherence of the system is possible. Spatial coherence in
a projection system is defined as the relationship of the phase of light as it
propagates from the illuminator toward a mask. If there is no angular distri-
bution to the light (which can be achieved by using a very small aperture in
the illuminator), there is no distribution of the phase of the light and it can
be considered spatially coherent. As the illuminator NA is increased, the
angular distribution of the light directed toward the mask is also increased,
leading to a decrease in the phase coherency. This is referred to as par-
tially coherent illumination. If the aperture is at a maximum, allowing all
possible angles of illumination at the mask, the condition becomes one of

spatial incoherence. In order to quantify these levels of spatial coherence,

the illuminator NA needs to be measured against the ability of the projec-
tion system to collect these angles. In other words, a ratio of the NAc of the
illuminator to the NAo of the projection lens will define the level of spa-
tial coherence. This is known as the partial coherence factor (σ), which is
depicted in Fig. 1.5b where:

When the ratio of NAc to NAo is small, mask illumination is more coher-
ent. As the ratio approaches unity, the illumination is more incoherent. This
source property is important as it influences the distribution and collection
of the light diffracted by a mask. In doing so, it will also have a strong influ-
ence on image quality and ultimate resolution, as can be demonstrated from
some basic examples.
Consider first a mask comprising a simple binary grating with pitch (p)
of lines and spaces illuminated at normal incidence using light of wave-
length λ. Normal incidence results in spatially coherent illumination, which
is achieved with a condenser lens NAc that is effectively zero (like a point
source). Light is diffracted by the mask features to produce diffracted orders
distributed according to the grating formula:

mλ
sin θ m ± ,
p

where m is the integer order number. If all of these diffracted orders can be
collected by an objective lens, a perfect image can be produced at the image
plane. Realistically, however, there will be a limit to the number of orders
that can be collected, which is most often small. Figure 1.6a depicts the sit-
uation for the collection of just the primary orders, the 0th and ±1st. The
resulting image that will be projected toward the image plane will have lost
all high frequency content and be imaged as a biased sinusoidal function, as
shown in Fig. 1.6b. Such an image can be sufficient if it is recorded into a high
contrast photoresist, which can create high aspect relief features if there
is sufficient modulation in the optical image. The goal of optical lithogra-
phy therefore becomes one of imaging smaller dimensions while collecting
sufficient diffraction energy so that the response of a photoresist is usable.
Although higher order diffraction energy is generally not needed, methods
to distribute diffraction energy in ways that allow for its collection for finer
pitch features are desirable.
A basic approach used to manipulate the distribution of diffracted light
is through the control of the partial coherence factor, σ. Instead of using
normally incident illumination from a small condenser lens NAc, as shown
in Fig. 1.6, higher values of partial coherence will spread diffracted energy
over a range of angles, as shown in Fig. 1.7. This is achieved by using a larger
NAc to NAo ratio. For example, if Fig. 1.5b is plotted on sinθ axes, the σ ratio
depicted is about 0.5. The illumination of a mask with this angular distri-
bution of light would not result in discrete diffraction orders as shown in
