3033comes 100% when the detection tolerance (hp) is greater than 0.05 ~m, which corresponds to the value of the mark edge roughness. The detection repeatability of 0.02 ~tm can be obtained by averaging a number of detected registration signals. However, the overlay accuracy between optically printed patterns and the FIB exposed level is 0.11-0.13 ~m. It is thought that beam scan calibration, beam drift, or other errors of both the FIB and optical lithography systems restrict the overlay accuracy of this hybrid process.

ABSTRACTArsenosilicate glass (AsSG) with dopant levels up to 15% was prepared using TEOS and triethoxiarsine (TEOA) or triethylarsenate (TEAs). The optimum deposition parameters and film properties like step coverage, uniformity, and particle densities correspond to the results obtained for undoped TEOS-SiO2. The different dissociation kinetics influence the way in which the arsenic is incorporated into the glass. Films prepared with TEAs are better diffusion sources because they do not tend to produce arsenic pile-up at the silicon surface. By heat-treating AsSG films with 6% As for 30-60 rain at 1000~ surface concentrations of >10 TM At cm -3 with junction depths below 200 nm are obtained on planar substrates. Slightly lower As concentrations are measured in trenches, an effect correlating with the different crystal orientations. Gate oxides grown on As diffused or undoped substrates show the same electrical qualities. By incorporating the AsSG trench doping into a complete process sequence, trench cell capacitors were produced and evaluated. The AsSG doping principle was found to be a safe and production-oriented process.) unless CC License in place (see abstract). ecsdl.org/site/terms_use address.
