Abstract
Shrinking device design rule, lithography requires more rigid CD accuracy on a mask. In most cases, cross sectional profiles are not uniformed on a chromium mask. Cross sectional profiles influence not only CD value but also aerial image on wafer. Suitable CD value for lithography is the same influenced one as aerial image. Therefore we studied this influence, and evaluated which CD value is suitable for lithography. As our results, CD result of DUV microscope is most suitable for 0.13 and 0.15 micrometers lithography.
