Abstract:
A method includes bonding a first device die and a second device die to an interconnect die. The interconnect die includes a first portion over and bonded to the first device die, and a second portion over and bonded to the second device die. The interconnect die electrically connects the first device die to the second device die. The method further includes encapsulating the interconnect die in an encapsulating material, and forming a plurality of redistribution lines over the interconnect die.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography system. The EUV lithography system includes a collector having a coating surface designed to collect and reflect EUV radiation; a gas supply module; and a gas pipeline integrated with the collector and connected to the gas supply module. The gas pipeline includes inward and outward entrances into the collector. The inward and outward entrances are configured and operable to form a gas curtain on the coating surface of the collector.
Abstract:
A method includes providing a carrier wafer, forming an indented portion on the carrier wafer, the indented portion having a sloped portion at an edge of the indented portion, bonding a pellicle wafer on the carrier wafer so as to form an open area within the indented portion, patterning the pellicle wafer to form a pellicle membrane over the indented portion and a pellicle membrane support structure over the sloped portion, and applying a mechanical force to disconnect the pellicle membrane from the pellicle wafer.
Abstract:
An embodiment of a method of forming a substrate pattern including forming a bottom layer and an overlying middle layer on the substrate. A photo resist pattern is formed on the middle layer. An etch coating layer is deposited on the photo resist pattern. The etch coating layer and the photo resist pattern are used as a masking element to pattern at least one of the middle layer and the bottom layer. The substrate is etched to form the substrate pattern using the at least one of the patterned middle layer and the patterned bottom layer as a masking element. The substrate pattern may be used as an element of an overlay measurement process.

Abstract:
Various methods are disclosed herein for reducing (or eliminating) printability of mask defects during lithography processes. An exemplary method includes performing a first lithography exposing process and a second lithography exposing process using a mask to respectively image a first set of polygons oriented substantially along a first direction and a second set of polygons oriented substantially along a second direction on a target. During the first lithography exposing process, a phase distribution of light diffracted from the mask is dynamically modulated to defocus any mask defect oriented at least partially along both the first direction and a third direction that is different than the first direction. During the second lithography exposing process, the phase distribution of light diffracted from the mask is dynamically modulated to defocus any mask defect oriented at least partially along both the second direction and a fourth direction that is different than the third direction.
