The image placement (IP) error correction is one of the advantages for E-beam lithography tool. LEEPL(Low Energy Electron beam Proximity-projection Lithography) 1,2) which is using stencil mask is able to shift the mask patter image by e-beam angle control. To use this unique technique week point of the stencil mask distortion is compensated. The flexibility of LEEPL E-beam IP correction for over lay is evaluated. The LEEPL E-beam IP correction is done by Sub-Deflector beam control. The feature to improve the over lay accuracy is introduced. It is not only for Mask IP error correction but also for Mask distortion by holding, under layer shot distortion and wafer chucking distortion.
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.
