History and 未来的光刻工艺,Will imprint technology replace photolithography?In 1798, image was transferred by stone plate1940, Bell Lab used resist developed by Eastman Kodak1960, San Francisco bay area becomes the silicon valley - AT &T, Raytheon, Fairchild, Negative resist contact print process wildly was used. End of 1970-early of 1980, positive resist Projection print (Perkin Elmer Micalign) started to be used in production. Bay area became cloudy - National, Intel and AMD. Outside bay area had Motolora, TI, IBM.From 1970 to early 2000, the technology of semiconductor is developed very fast. The smallest feature size from 10u reduced to 0.09u. 0.25u and 0.35u products were running mass production every where -USA, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Korea i-line,and deepUV - 5X stepper and step-scan (4X) aligner became the major tools.Now, 0.09u technology become mature. 0.065u, 0.045u and 0.035u technology are being developed. Immersion lithography and imprint technology will be used to print these nano feature.Imprint technology claims that it is able to print 0.01u (10nm) - It may be the future masking.,6.1History,Lithography, as used in the manufacture of the integrated circuit, is the process of transferring geometric shapes on a mask to the surface of a silicon wafer. These shapes make up the parts of the circuit, such as gate electrodes, contact windows, metal interconnections, and so on. Although most lithography techniques used today were developed in the past 40 years, the process was actually invented in 1798; in this first process, the pattern, or image, was transferred from a stone plate (the word litho comes from). The first practical two dimensional device patterning on a silicon wafer was actually carried out in the late 1940s at the Bell Lab. At that time, polyvinylcinnamate, developed by Eastman Kodak, was used as a resist. However, device yields were low because of the poor adhesion of the polyvinylcinnamate to the silicon and oxide surface. The Kodak chemists then turned to a synthetic rubber based material-a partially cyclized isoprene and added a UV active sensitizer-a bis-aryl-azide into it to crosslink the rubber matrix and created a new class of photoresist material. Since the unexposed area of the new material was the only part of the polymer matrix that will dissolve in an organic solvent and yielding a negative image of the mask plate, therefore, the new material was then referred as the negative resist. The cyclized rubber/bisazide resist was widely used in the contact printing age. However, the contact mode of printing created severe wear of the mask plate and the defect density of the photomask and the wafer was very high. The industry therefore decided to switch to contactless projection printing in 1972 for producing the 16k DRAM.Projection printing, however, was carried out in the Fraunhoffer or the so called far field diffraction region and the aerial image was much poorer than the contact or proximity method of printing. In order to preserve the same quality of image structure, the contrast of the image material must be increased.,Lithographic lore has it that the diazonaphthoquinone/novolak resist (the term novolak is derived from the Swedish word lak, meaning lacquer or resin and prefixed by the Latin word novo, meaning new) made their way from the blue print paper industry to the microelectronic through family ties: at that times, the offices of Azoplate, the American outlet for Kalle printing plate, was located at Murray Hill, NJ, just across the street from the famous Bell Labs. The father of a technician at Azoplate worked as a technician at Bell Labs. Apparently the father had complained one day about the poor resolution quality of the solvent developed resist system used at the Bell Labs and the son had boasted the properties of the Azoplate DNQ/novolak material; anyway, one day the father took a bottle of the material with him to the Bell Labs, and the age of the DNQ/novolak resist began. The new material was marketed by Azoplate under the trade name of AZ photoresist. It was always referred as the positive resist for a positive tone of image would be reproduced by the new material. The use of DNQ/novolak system increased rapidly after the introduction of the projection lithography. By 1980s, the DNQ resist had completely supplanted the old negative resist as the workhorse of the semiconductor industry in the high-end applications. The DNQ/novolak resist has held sway for 6 device generations, from the introduction of the 16K DRAM to the large scale production of the 64M DRAM in 1994 to 1995. The success of such material was the indicative of it supreme performance and potential. Today, it appears that it is not really the resolution which defines the limit of the DNQ/novolak resist application, but rather the loss in the depth of focus with the ever increasing NA of the stepper.
