Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit photolithography, in particular to a joint optimization method for light source, polarization and mask and electronic equipment. 【Background technique】 [0002] The photolithography process is the most important manufacturing process in the modern large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing process, that is, an important means to transfer the design pattern of the integrated circuit on the mask to the silicon wafer through the photolithography machine. When the integrated circuit design pattern on the mask is imaged on the silicon wafer through the projection objective lens of the lithography machine, as the feature size of the pattern on the mask becomes smaller, the diffraction phenomenon of light becomes more and more significant. When some high-order diffracted light cannot participate in imaging due to the limitation of the aperture of the projection objective optical sy...
