U. Boettiger et al., RESIST THICKNESS INFLUENCE ON DEPTH OF FOCUS - A KEY QUESTION FOR ADVANCED I-LINE AND DUV LITHOGRAPHY, Microelectronic engineering, 23(1-4), 1994, pp. 163-166
Motivated by a dramatically shrinking depth of focus as device geometr
ies approach 0.25 um and the increasing importance of resist thickness
as part of the focus budget, this paper summarizes experimental depth
of focus results obtained at various resist thicknesses with differen
t resist types.
