SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Materials, Inc. today introduced a new eBeam metrology system specifically designed to precisely measure the critical dimensions of semiconductor device features patterned with EUV and emerging High-NA EUV lithography.

Key Points: 
  • SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Materials, Inc. today introduced a new eBeam metrology system specifically designed to precisely measure the critical dimensions of semiconductor device features patterned with EUV and emerging High-NA EUV lithography.
  • These measurements continuously calibrate lithography process performance to ensure the patterns are correct before they are etched into the wafer.
  • CD-SEMs thereby help control the etch process and enable a feedback loop between lithography and etch that gives engineers highly correlated data sets for holistic process tuning.
  • Measuring the critical dimensions of semiconductor device features becomes more challenging as photoresists get thinner with EUV and especially High-NA EUV.

Customers increasingly use EUV double patterning to print chip features smaller than the resolution limits of EUV to optimize chip area and cost.

Key Points: 
  • Customers increasingly use EUV double patterning to print chip features smaller than the resolution limits of EUV to optimize chip area and cost.
  • Using EUV double patterning, chipmakers split a high-density pattern in half and produce two masks that adhere to the resolution limits of EUV.
  • Both halves of the pattern are combined on intermediate patterning films and then etched into the wafer.
  • Additional information about Applied’s Sculpta system will be discussed at the company’s “ New Ways to Shrink: Advanced Patterning Products Launch ​” event being held today.
