The effect of increasing implant beam currents during MeV well implants on thick photoresist was evaluated in terms of critical dimension (CD) control and mask edge integrity, implant dosimetry, and post-implant ashing. Hard bake, soft bake, and photostabilization pre-treatments were quantified in terms of outgassing during implant, retention of mask edge integrity, and ability to ash without residues. The beam current of a 825 keV P implant (n-well) was successfully increased by a factor of four with no loss in CD control, implant or ashing performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
