Optics - Basics and Diffraction
• Ray tracing (assuming light travels in straight lines) works well as long as the
dimensions are large compared to .
• At smaller dimensions, diffraction effects dominate.
• If the aperture is on the order of , the light spreads out after passing through
the aperture. (The smaller the aperture, the more it spreads out.)

Modos de Litografía Óptica
• Resist is in contact with the mask: 1:1 magnification• Advantages: Inexpensive equipment, moderately high
resolution (~0.5 mm or better but limited by resist thickness- 0.1 mm demonstrated)
• Disadvantages: Contact with the mask degrades the mask that results in non-uniform resolution, no magnification.
Difracción dela luz limita R
d
Resist is not in contact with the mask: 1:1 magnification
Advantages: Inexpensive equipment Disadvantages: Low resolution (~1-2 mm).
Diffraction effects limit accuracy of pattern transfer. Less repeatable than contact methods, no magnification
Mask image is projected a distance from the mask and de-magnified to a smaller image: 1:4 -1:10 magnification
Advantages: High resolution (25-14 nm), No mask contact(high production compatible). Magnification.
Disadvantages: Extremely expensive and complicated equipment, diffraction effects limit accuracy of pattern transfer.

Resumen del proceso
SubWavelength Lithography
• Beginning in ≈ 1998, chip manufacturers began to manufacture chips with feature sizes smaller than the wavelength of the light used to expose photoresist.
• This is possible because of the use of a variety of “tricks” - illumination system optimization, optical pattern correction (OPC) and phase shift mask techniques.

• Lenses are very effective and perfectly transparent for 193nm and above, so many are used
• A single “lens” may be up to 60 fused silica surfaces
• System maintained at atmospheric pressure
• Lens NA ~0.5-0.85
• Up to 1.1 for immersion
• Exposure field 26x32mm
• Steppers capable of >100300mm wafers per hourat >100 exposures per wafer

Los electrones presentan difracción despreciable (algo de scattering en la
resina)
Procedimiento de fabricación lento: no útil en producción

• (a) Sample is coated with a thin layer of a
polymer chemical known as the resist (ei.
polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA).
• (b) With EBL, there must be a path to ground for
the electrons. Thus, a small section of the
PMMA must be scraped away on the edge of the
sample so that conductive tape can be attached
from the sample to the stage (ground). If the
sample itself is an insulator, a very thin (10-20 Å)
layer of gold must be deposited onto the PMMA.
• (b) PMMA breaks down into smaller
molecular weight monomers upon exposure
to electrons. Afterwards, the exposed regions
can be rinsed away (developed) using a
chemical known as methyl-isobutyl-ketone.
• The rest is like optical lithography

• The force between the cantilever and the sample is used to probe the
topography on the sample. Several modes of imaging to discuss later…
• Use conductive tip AFM as electron source for e-beam lithography
