High throughput laser mask repair system satisfying the accuracy demanded for 0.5 p m pattern rule reticles has been newly developed.The named Laser Mask Repair LM700A has the following features:. Opaque defect repair capability of 0.5 p m L&S patterns . High repair accuracy of45 nm (3 sigma) . Quartz damage depth of less than 2Onm. Transmission at the repair site of more than 96%. Pico-second solid state UV pulse laser and high resolution UV Optics Laser wavelength : 35 1 nm Laser pulse duration : less than 300 psObservation wavelength : 365 nm By utilizing a pico-second UV pulse laser, very high quality laser zapping can be obtained. This paper presents the configuration and the evaluated results for mask repair performance in conventional Cr binary masks.
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.
