Simple e-beam pattern in this resist has been tested, the results showed on this page. If you have questions to the process or wish to use this e-beam resist, please contact Tine Greibe at tigre@danchip.dtu.dk.
Process Flow
Test of Chemically Semi-Amplified Resist (CSAR); a positive e-beam resist from AllResist (AR-P 6200-2).
Equipment | Process Parameters | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
Pretreatment | |||
4" Si wafers | No Pretreatment | ||
Spin Coat | |||
Spin Coater Manual, LabSpin, A-5 | AR-P 6200/2 AllResist E-beam resist
60 sec at various spin speed. Acceleration 4000 s-2, softbake 1 - 5 min at 150 deg Celcius |
Disposal pipette used; clean by N2-gun before use. Use approximately 1.5 ml per 4" wafer, never use a pipette twice. Softbake is not a crucial step, see e-mail correspondence with AllResist here. | |
Characterization | |||
Ellipsometer VASE B-1 | 9 points measured on 100 mm wafer | ZEP program used; measured at 70 deg only | |
E-beam Exposure | |||
JEOL 9500 E-beam writer, E-1 | Dosepattern 15nm - 100nm,
dose 120-280 muC/cm2 |
Virtual chip mark height detection (CHIPAL V1) used in corner of every dose array | |
Development | |||
Fumehood, D-3 | 60 sec in X AR 600-54/6,
60 sec rinse in IPA, N2 Blow dry |
Gentle agitation while developing. After developing, wafer is immersed in beaker with IPA, subsequently blow dried with N2 gun. | |
Characterization | |||
Zeiss SEM Supra 60VP, D-3 | 2-3 kV, shortest working distance possible, chip mounted with Al tape | The wafers are diced into smaller pieces and sputter coated with Pt at DTU CEN before SEM inspection; please contact Ramona Valentina Mateiu for further information. |
Spin Curves
The thickness is measured on VASE Ellipsometer using a simple Cauchy model for a transparent polymer on Si. The measurements are performed at one incidence angle (70 degrees) only. 9 points on each 4" wafer has been measured; the standard deviation thus representing the homogeinity of the film on the 4" wafers.
Dosepattern has been e-beam exposured and SEM inspected on those wafers marked by silver gray.
