Depth-of-focus (gap latitude in proximity lithography) and exposure la
titude are the two most important figures-of-merit for linewidth contr
ol in lithography. In a recent article, the preliminary result of the
experimental verification of this theoretical study was presented-the
linewidth variation as a function of gap. In this article, the experim
ental results of the exposure latitude are presented and discussed. Ex
cellent agreement between experimental and simulation results are foun
d. Optimized parameters based on verified model are presented here.
