In this paper we show experimental verification of the feasibility of printing pitch 40x70nm hexagonal holes using EUV single patterning. We show that at a local CDU (LCDU) of 2.7nm and an exposure dose of 54 mJ/cm2 a defect rate smaller than 7x10-9 is observed. This result was enabled by optimization of the illumination source and improvements in the resist. Resist selection identified multiple candidates that show a promising LCDU performance and optimization of the processing conditions resulted in improved performance. Experimental validation of the defect performance was done using HMI eP5 on the baseline process. Assessment of the LCDU performance for EUV single expose at pitches beyond 40x70nm, showed promising results.
