Method to overcome image shortening by use of sub-resolution reticle features

Image shortening in a photolithographic process is substantially reduced by using sub-resolution reticle features to alter the aerial image in the shortened regions. The use of such sub-resolution reticle features is simple to implement in a design system, and allows for increased feature aspect rat...

Zusammenfassung:Image shortening in a photolithographic process is substantially reduced by using sub-resolution reticle features to alter the aerial image in the shortened regions. The use of such sub-resolution reticle features is simple to implement in a design system, and allows for increased feature aspect ratio as well as overlap to other critical features.
