Addressing challenges in the mitigation of stochastic effects
Abstract
Towards realistic adoption of EUV technology, material/process induced defect must be considerable problem. Several excellent study have been introduced before and it mainly focused on the relation between defect number and pattern size and pattern pitch. Unfortunately, the study related defect transfer behavior haven't been quite few, despite defect inspection is executed through top-down SEM. In this study, latent defect on via hole pattern, especially, the behavior of invisible hole bottom area was focused on and we tied to clarify the exist of hidden missing defect utilizing unique RIE technique in hole image transfer onto under layer.
