Abstract

In this work, CD control issue at 0.37 K1 optical lithography will be discussed in terms of lens aberration sensitivity. Specific aberration terms that affect CD asymmetry on isolation, word line and storage node layers were investigated by simulation and CD uniformity measurement. The lens aberration was characterized by LITEL ISI (In-Situ Interferometer) and the aberration sensitivity was investigated by Solid-C aerial image simulation. From this result, we can understand the relation between some significant Zernike terms and CD control of DRAM’s critical layers.
