【Abstract】 Off-axis illumination and sub-resolution assistance feature technologies are described.The principles of these two technologies are analyzed.By using software for lithography simulation,the simulation results of lines with different width and pitch before and after adding SRAF are compared with that without off-axis illumination and sub-resolution assistance feature.The result shows that off-axis illumination and sub-resolution assistance feature can effectively enhance the resolution of sub-100 nanometers graphics,enlarge the process window,reduce the requirement of process parameters for lithography projection,and therefore,are very necessary for solving the problem of projection quality reduction for sub-100 nanometers integrated circuit,brought by "Sub-wavelength Lithography".更多还原
