Abstract
The Edge-placement-error requirements keep progressively scaling down in immersion lithography process in conjunction with Immersion lightsource technology. We studied quantification analysis of impact on resist LWR/ LER to the speckle dependency by; a. LWR/LER by analyzing the Power Spectral Density (PSD) curves. b. key frequency components by the photo resist and/ or the speckle contrast such based on PSD tendency by # of pulse use during exposure c. further speckle contrast reduction for LWR/ LER enhancement by 4X extension of Pulse duration.
