    Abstract: A method involving obtaining a resist deformation model for simulating a deformation process of a pattern in resist, the resist deformation model being a fluid dynamics model configured to simulate an intrafluid force acting on the resist, performing, using the resist deformation model, a computer simulation of the deformation process to obtain a deformation of the developed resist pattern for an input pattern to the resist deformation model, and producing electronic data representing the deformation of the developed resist pattern for the input pattern.

    Abstract: A method of determining an uncertainty in the position of a domain within a self-assembly block copolymer (BCP) feature. The method includes simulating a BCP feature, calculating a minimum energy position of a first domain within the simulated BCP feature, simulating the application of a potential that causes the position of the first domain to be displaced from the minimum energy position, simulating release of the potential back toward the minimum energy, recording a plurality of energies of the BCP feature during the release and recording at each of the plurality of energies a displacement of the first domain from the minimum energy position, calculating, from the recorded energies and recorded displacements, a probability distribution indicating a probability of the first domain being displaced from the minimum energy position, and, from the probability distribution, calculating an uncertainty in the position of the first domain within the BCP feature.

    Abstract: A method of predicting the dominant failure mode and/or the failure rate of a plurality of features formed on a substrate, and an associated inspection apparatus. The method may include determining a placement metric for each feature, the placement metric including a measure of whether the feature is in an expected position, and comparing a distribution of the placement metric to a reference (e.g., Gaussian) distribution. The placement metric may include a boundary metric for a plurality of boundary points on a boundary defining each feature, the boundary metric including a measure of whether a boundary point is in an expected position. The dominant failure mode and/or the failure rate of the plurality of features is predicted from the comparison.

    Abstract: A resist composition having a) metal-containing nanoparticles and/or nanoclusters, and b) ligands and or organic linkers, wherein one or both of a) or b) are multivalent. A resist composition wherein: the resist composition is a negative resist and the nanoparticles and/or nanoclusters cluster upon crosslinking of the ligands and/or organic linkers following exposure to electromagnetic radiation or an electron beam; or the resist composition is a negative resist and the ligands and/or organic linkers are crosslinked and the crosslinking bonds are broken upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation or an electron beam allowing the nanoparticles and/or nanoclusters to cluster together; or the resist composition is a positive resist and the ligands and/or organic linkers are crosslinked and the crosslinking bonds are broken upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation or an electron beam.
