Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to an optical approximation correction method in a photolithography process and a photomask pattern thereof. Background technique
[0002] With the development of semiconductor technology towards small line width and high integration, higher requirements are put forward for the photolithography process. The optical exposure wavelength has also been developed from 365nm to 248nm, 193nm or even smaller, and the immersion exposure technology based on high refractive index medium has also been developed. As the size of the device shrinks, the size of the pattern on the photolithography mask is getting smaller and smaller, and the pitch of the pattern is getting closer and closer. Optical interference and diffraction effects make the resolution of the pattern transferred to the wafer less than ideal. Traditional binary masks can no longer meet the needs of deep submi...
