EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Related Research • Main limitation • Cannot pattern large area * Gun-Young Jung et al. NANOLETTERS2006V6, No. 3351-354
EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Related Research • Main limitation • Very hard achieve very small linewidth *Zhaoning Yu, et al. HP Labs Research
Repeat Oxidized Si SiO2 CMP Etching Si EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Related Research • Main limitation • It has bad linewidth and pitch control *Heon Lee, US Patent No. 6,759,180 (6 July 2004) **S.R. Sonkusale, et al. Physica E 28 (2005)107–114
EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Motivation of the Paper • Combine all the ideas • Wafer-size pattern transfer • Good linewidth and pitch control • Faster and more reliable process Proposed Applications • Nano-Wire fabrications
CMP Release EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Method • Alternately deposit HfO2 & TiN using ALD • Planarization using CMP • Selective wet or dry etching • Challenges • Pillars • CMP
EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Fabricated Mask • sub-15nm linewidth template patterns with5 nm gaps • No imprinting lithography results were presented in this work
Flip Proposed Nano-Wire Fabrication Possible but very difficult
Conclusion • Fabricated wafer-size imprint mold with sub-15nm features using conventional micro-fabrication techniques • Still some major challenges • CMP is very difficult and tedious for unconventional structures and materials • Some feature size and line roughness is determined by the capability of other lithography techniques.
EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Thank you! Questions?
EE235 Course Presentation Nano-Imprint Supplemental Materials • 25nm-wide silicon with height aspect ratio of 13 can be achieve using HSQ but has much larger pitch*. • Deposition thickness based technique could be more promising if use this technique also. * St. Trellenkamp, Microelectronic Engineer. 67–68(2003)376
