Bk. Choi et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF ACID DIFFUSION FOR A NEGATIVE CHEMICALLY AMPLIFIED RESIST USING X-RAY PROXIMITY LITHOGRAPHY, Microelectronic engineering, 42, 1998, pp. 301-304
We suggest a new method to characterize the acid diffusion phenomena f
or negative chemically amplified resist (CAR) using X-ray proximity li
thography (XRL) in a straightforward manner. By measuring replicated c
ritical dimensions of narrow isolated lines with various post exposure
bake (PEB) times at certain FEB temperatures, we can calculate the di
ffusivity of CAR. This method is applied to the measurement of the dif
fusivity for TDUR - N908 CAR.
