Jr. Maldonado et al., DETERMINATION OF HELIUM PRESENCE IN THE MASK WAFER GAP OF X-RAY-LITHOGRAPHY STEPPERS, Microelectronic engineering, 27(1-4), 1995, pp. 303-306
This paper describes a technique to determine the presence and uniform
ity of Helium in the mask/wafer gap of x-ray lithography steppers by u
tilizing the oxygen sensitive resist polychlorostyrene (PSC). Results
obtained at the IBM Advanced Lithography Facility using a SUSS stepper
and the HELIOS superconducting synchrotron storage ring are presented
.
