Investigation on the relationship between CD and CDU in memory devices
暂无分享,去创建一个
As pattern design rule of device shrinks, CD control becomes more critical and important especially for resistance devices. As CD (Critical Dimension) increases, CDU (Critical Dimension Uniformity) becomes worse generally. The question with this relationship is a starting point of our study. Mainly we focused on two points. One is which factor affects CDU. The other is whether CDU degradation with large CD happens at all cases or not. We have analyzed with simulation and experiment results about CDU with splitted mask layout CD under limited conditions such as same equipment, illumination and exposure dose. As a result, we will show the relationship between CD size and CDU.
