摘要: Various dielectric anti-reflection coatings (DARCs) were evaluated using 0.175 /spl mu/m dual-damascene structures to examine the lithography process window and integration capability. Double-DARC layers have been developed with optimum refractive indices thickness, based on reflectance simulations measurements, provide better critical dimension (CD) control as compared organic ARC single-DARC layer applications. The scheme a double-DARC provides substantial benefit for metallization.
