摘要： A multi-layer immersion medium monitoring system for a lithographic process monitors characteristics of an immersion medium of a semiconductor manufacturing process. The multi-layer immersion medium includes at least a first liquid of a first density (or viscosity) and a second liquid of a lower density (or viscosity), both of which are interspersed between a final optical component and a semiconductor layer. The higher density layer is provided to reduce turbulence in the immersion medium during the lithographic processes. A scatterometry system monitors optical characteristics of the multi-layer immersion medium to effectuate control of a lithographic process.

摘要： A mask is provided to be used with nanoprint lithography processes to facilitate reproduction of small features required for the production of integrated circuits. A translucent substrate is provided along with one or more three-dimensional features that include one or more vertical sidewalls. An absorbing material is deposited upon one or more of the vertical sidewalls so that light in an incident direction to an upper surface of the substrate will be absorbed by the absorbing material, resulting in light blocking features. One or more horizontal surfaces are formed upon one or more of the three-dimensional features, which allow light rays to exit a lower surface of the substrate unobstructed by the absorbing material.
