SPIE - Education EUV Lithography SC888

This course provides attendees with a full overview of the fundamentals, current status, and technical challenges of EUV Lithography. Topics covered include EUV Sources, EUV Source Metrology, EUV Optics, EUV systems and patterning, and EUV Mask. We will begin with an overview of the history of EUVL and cover EUV sources, EUV source metrology and EUV optics. Next is a discussion of EUVL systems and patterning. We cover the fundamental components of EUV systems and address similarities and differences to optical lithography systems. This section also covers patterning issues including flare, LER, and resist performance. We continue with an exploration of EUVL Mask technology issues such as design, materials including reflective multilayers, process and metrology. Finally we conclude with a Status Review of EUVL. Course material will be drawn from the accompanying texts EUV Sources for Lithography and EUV Lithography.
