METHOD FOR REDUCING CHARGE IN CRITICAL DIMENSION-SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE METROLOGY |
摘要 |
Methods and compositions are provided for reducing or eliminating charge buildup during scanning electron microscopy (SEM) metrology of a critical dimension (CD) in a structure produced by lithography. An under layer is utilized that comprises silicon in the construction of the structure. When the lithography structure comprising the silicon-comprising under layer is scanned for CDs using SEM, the under layer reduces or eliminates charge buildup during SEM metrological observations. |

1. A method for reducing charging and/or shrinkage in a surface of interest during measurement of the surface in the manufacture of an integrated device, the method comprising:
(a) providing a substrate; (b) positioning a silicon-comprising under layer on the substrate; (c) positioning a patterned photoresist image layer on the under layer; (d) delivering an electron beam to the surface of interest; and (e) measuring the surface of interest with the electron beam, thereby reducing charging and/or shrinkage. |
