    摘要: An original includes a pattern formed for use in exposure of a photosensitive material disposed on an upper side of a multilayer film provided on a substrate, wherein the pattern includes a main pattern and an auxiliary pattern disposed at a position separated by a predetermined interval from the main pattern, and wherein the auxiliary pattern suppresses irregularities on an inclined surface of a sidewall portion of the photosensitive material on which the main pattern is formed.

    摘要: A pellicle assembly for large-size photomasks including a frame member configured to be affixed to a large-size photomask substrate, a substantially rigid and transparent pellicle membrane affixed to the frame member so as to protect at least a portion of the large-size photomask substrate from contamination during usage, storage and/or transport, and a coating on at least one of top and bottom surfaces of the pellicle membrane that binds the pellicle membrane to prevent separation of pellicle membrane material in the event of breakage.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods for enhancing carbon hardmask to have improved etching selectivity and profile control. In some embodiments, a method of treating a carbon hardmask layer is provided and includes positioning a workpiece within a process region of a processing chamber, where the workpiece has a carbon hardmask layer disposed on or over an underlying layer, and treating the carbon hardmask layer by exposing the workpiece to a sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) process to produce an aluminum oxide carbon hybrid hardmask which is denser than the carbon hardmask layer. The SIS process includes exposing and infiltrating the carbon hardmask layer with an aluminum precursor, purging to remove gaseous remnants, exposing and infiltrating the carbon hardmask layer to an oxidizing agent to produce an aluminum oxide coating disposed on inner surfaces of the carbon hardmask layer, and purging the process region to remove gaseous remnants.
