摘要： A method of transferring a lithographic pattern onto a substrate by use of a lithographic apparatus. The method includes the steps of: (1) defining features to be printed on the substrate; (2) determining which of the features require assist features to be disposed adjacent thereto in order for the features to be printed within defined resolution limits; (3) generating a mask containing the features to be printed and the assist features; (4) performing a first illumination process so as to print the features on the substrate, the first illumination process resulting in the partial printing of the assist features on the substrate; and (5) performing a second illumination process so as to reduce the amount of the assist features printed on the substrate; the second illumination process entails the step of performing a quadrapole illumination.

摘要： A device manufacturing method includes conditioning a beam of radiation using an illumination system. The conditioning includes controlling an array of individually controllable elements and associated optical components of the illumination system to convert the radiation beam into a desired illumination mode, the controlling including allocating different individually controllable elements to different parts of the illumination mode in accordance with an allocation scheme, the allocation scheme selected to provide a desired modification of one or more properties of the illumination mode, the radiation beam or both. The method also includes patterning the radiation beam having the desired illumination mode with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned beam of radiation, and projecting the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate.

摘要： Model Based Optical Proximity Correction (MOPC) biasing techniques may be utilized for optimizing a mask pattern. However, conventional MOPC techniques do not account for influence from neighboring features on a mask. This influence may be factored in the following manner—first, generating a predicted pattern from a target pattern and selecting a plurality of evaluation points at which biasing may be determined. Next, a set of multivariable equations are generated for each evaluation point, each equation representing influence of neighboring features on a mask. The equations are solved to determine that amount of bias at each evaluation point, and the mask is optimized accordingly. This process may be repeated until the mask pattern is further optimized.
摘要翻译：基于模型的光学邻近校正（MOPC）偏置技术可用于优化掩模图案。然而，传统的MOPC技术不能解释掩模上相邻特征的影响。这种影响可以以以下方式考虑：首先，从目标图案生成预测图案，并且选择可以确定偏置的多个评估点。接下来，为每个评估点生成一组多变量方程，每个方程表示相邻特征对掩模的影响。求解等式以确定每个评估点的偏差量，并相应地优化掩模。可以重复该过程，直到掩模图案进一步优化。
