Abstract:
Rigorous optical polarization and proximity correction (OPC) for reticle induced polarization effects are critical to the success of 193nm wavelength immersion lithography implementation. The impact of 2D and 3D mask polarization effects to imaging in ultra high-NA low-k1 imaging is assessed by simulation. An end-to-end (ETE) dense line feature of attenuated phase shift mask (attPSM) with various material of film stack is studied.
