This paper focuses on the use of bias printing for APSM DUV resists in patt
erning 180 nm contact holes. Modeling and experimental data for three Shipl
ey low temperature APSM resists are used to analyze the advantages and trad
eoffs of using printing bias. Proper use of bias printing of these APSM con
tact hole resists can give excellent lithographic performance at feasible p
hotospeed.
