Abstract

A study has been completed to investigate the imaging performance with the industry standard 6% attenuated phase shift mask. Several test structures were used to investigate the effects on line edge roughness (LER) based on the polarization state of the illuminator. The use of a high NA (>1 NA) immersion exposure system was employed to study the imaging characteristics.
