Advanced Lithography Elizabeth Despain Ghassan Sanber Mark Lowther Developments of Techniques and Processes for AZ3312 Photoresist Aaron Hawkins
Process Explanation • Spin on Photoresist • Softbake • Expose • Develop • Post-Exposure Bake Goal: Reproducible 1 micron lines
Photoresist Purity • Contaminants in photoresist bottles from: • Storage near acetone • Unclean bottles • Rubber stoppers
AZ3312 Baseline Process • 10 min @ 120C, cleanroom ovens • Spin: 4000rpm, 60 sec • SB: 90C, 60 sec • Expose: 64mJ/cm2 (6.5sec) • Develop: MF300, 30 sec • PEB: 110C, 60 sec
Habits for Better Resolution • Always use the hard contact option for exposure – this minimizes diffraction • Clean the mask between each exposure
Experimental Results • Spin: 4000rpm • Exposure: 49.5mJ/cm2 (5 sec) • Development: 30-40 sec
