M. Shibuya et al., PERFORMANCE OF RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUE USING BOTH MULTIPLE EXPOSURE AND NONLINEAR RESIST, JPN J A P 1, 33(12B), 1994, pp. 6874-6877
We have proposed a resolution enhancement lithography technique named
NOLMEX. In this paper, we investigate the performance of this method b
y using the analytical relationship between line-and-space pattern res
olution and NA, and by numerical calculation for isolated hole pattern
s. It is confirmed that this technique is useful for both kinds of pat
terns. Using the NOLMEX method, a 0.1-mu m-rule pattern can be fabrica
ted by optical lithography.
