Abstract

In this work, we investigated the deposition behavior of Mo/Si multilayer thin film structures simulated by a PVD process simulator based on Monte Carlo method to assist the optimized fabrication of the high quality mask in EUVL(Extreme Ultra-Violet Lithography) process. The shape of simulated thin film structures turned out to be largely dependent on the gas pressure(1∼30 mTorr), the target-substrate distance(1∼30 cm) and the diffusion length(1∼10 nm). From the simulation studies, it was predicted that relatively uniform thin film structures can be fabricated by decreasing gas pressure and increasing the target-substrate distance.

본 연구에서는 EUVL(Extreme Ultra-Violet Lithography) 공정에서 사용되어지는 Mo/Si 다층박막 마스크 물질의 최적화된 제조공정을 도모하기 위해 Monte Carlo법을 적용한 PVD 공정 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 Mo/Si 다층박막 증착변수에 따른 박막의 형상변화를 분석하였다. 박막의 형상은 가스압력(1∼30 mTorr), 타겟과 기판과의 거리 (1∼30 cm) 및 확산거리(1∼10 nm)에 따라 크게 변함을 알 수 있었으며 가스압력이 낮을수록, 기판과 타겟과의 거리가 멀어질수록 균일한 표면의 박막 형성이 가능할 것으로 예측되었다.
