Resist Outgassing Work in ExCITe W.-D. Domke; Infineon ExCITe/More Moore Meeting May 12, 2005 Athens, Greece
P Legend: M - main chamber P - photodiode Q - quadrupole mass spectrometer S - sample ion pump turbomolecular pump diaphragm pump inverted magnetron gauge valve M beam Q S beam 30º 60º Q Synchrotrone Trieste – EUV outgassing setup • EUV beam incidence on resist on silicon samples was at an angle of 30 ° • quadrupole mass spectrometer was located at 60°, distance from wafer was 15 mm. • chamber volume is 3.1 liter • EUV outgassing is sampled at different spots of a coated wafer to allow fast mass spectrometer scanning (10 amu channels per exposure); spot size was 2.5 x 0.5 mm
Measurement of EUV total outgassing • Total outgassing pressure (10-9 mbar) is integrated over a total exposure time of 2 min. • total outgassing of different resist samples varied by 3 orders of magnitude; low outgassing resists resulting in 10+12 molecules/cm2 sec
Evaluation of mass spectra • Samples are exposed for 120 sec • 10 mass channels are measured simultaneously • time-dependent mass signals are evaluated per peak value or per integral • mass spectra are then reconstructed from all available channels

Advantages/Disadvantages • Easy Online Setup • high EUV power • only in-band (13.4nm) radiation • only few synchrotron exposure slots available • high time consumption of total evaluation • not sensitive enough for low-outgassing materials Remark: some tool supplier (ASML, Nikon) set very different outgassing requirements
Status and Plan for Infineon Outgassing Work • Good cooperation with Elettra/Synchrotrone Trieste for EUV Outgassing Work • Experimental setup refined and screening of some resist classes done • Impact of fine-tuning resist formulation (PAG, quencher) on outgassing under evaluation • Comparison of Outgassing Methodology done in IEUVI Resist TWG • Plans for IEUVI-initiated round robin experiments
