Abstract

In the market of Integrated Circuit (IC) manufacturing, photolithography is seen as the crucial and enabling step in achieving smaller feature size. To realize these features, photolithography equipment with tighter focus budgets are required [1]. Main contributor to the budget is wafer unflatness [2]. This study proposes a way to reduce focus budget dependency on wafer unflatness by a curvature correction mechanism which is achieved by actively controlling optical element curvature with a piezoelectric actuation system.
