摘要
Reduced developer soak rinse time and increased post exposure bake temperatures were found to be the most effective process variables in extending the resist overhang. An extended resist overhang of 0.7 mum can be obtained under extreme conditions. Less extreme conditions were found to be more optimum for improved resolution with adequate lift-off profiles. The optimized process for AZ(R) MIR(TM) 703 resist offers a range of options in resolution linearity, trench size bias, overhang and delta trench top - bottom width. Trench resolution of 0.2 mum is demonstrated in i-line regime.
