Abstract
People have enjoyed innovations which are made possible with the device scaling. The industry has been challenging to realize the Moore’s Law. Resolution limit of ArF immersion scanner has already been larger than the device CD necessary now. Device structures have been getting more and more complicated to meet various technology requirements such as scaling, device speed, low power consumption and so on. Not only the scaling but also complication has to be overcome to realize those requirements. Scaling requirements, device structure, and new types of architectures for new generation device with the limited single exposure capability force us to keep using and exploring complicated multi-step patterning techniques or “tricks”. Device design, elements, process, and consumable tricks and JSR’s solution have been reviewed.
