Imec has demonstrated that precise control of gas compositions during post-exposure EUV lithography steps can help in minimizing the required exposure dose, thereby unlocking higher wafer throughput. In particular, improved dose response of metal-oxide photoresists (MORs) has been achieved when the EUV post-exposure bake step is performed under elevated oxygen concentrations. Metal-oxide resists (MORs) have emerged as leading candidates for ...
