    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of processing a substrate comprising: providing a substrate with a layer of photosensitive material on a surface of the substrate; and removing photosensitive material from around an outer edge of the layer of photosensitive material, and controlling the removing so as to generate an edge, having a radial width, around the layer of photosensitive material remaining on the surface of the substrate, wherein the photosensitive material varies in thickness forming a thickness profile across the radial width and the removing is controlled so as to generate variation in the thickness profile along the length of the edge, and/or wherein the removing is controlled so as to generate a rough edge around the layer of photosensitive material remaining on the surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for fabricating devices, for example integrated circuits, using high-sensitivity extreme ultraviolet (EUV) resist. The present invention also relates to an integrated wafer processing system for carrying out such a method. The method comprises fabricating a device, the method comprising; a. exposing an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) resist wafer to EUV radiation to produce an exposed EUV resist wafer; b. baking the exposed EUV resist wafer in an oxygen-rich atmosphere at a temperature in the range of from about 20 ºC to about 450 ºC; c. processing the exposed EUV resist wafer to produce a device; wherein the oxygen-rich atmosphere comprises oxygen in amount greater than about 21.0% by volume, and wherein the EUV resist comprises one or more of Sn, Sb, Cd, Cr, Zn, Hf, Po, Pd and Te.

    Abstract: A method of processing a substrate having a metal oxide resist layer formed thereon is provided, the method including the steps of: exposing the substrate to patterning radiation to form a pattern including a plurality of features in the metal oxide resist layer; exposing a portion of the substrate including at least one of said features to conditioning radiation thereby causing shrinkage of the metal oxide resist layer in said portion. Computer programs which cause a computer apparatus to perform the above method and computer program products having such computer programs stored thereon are also provided, as are apparatuses, such as lithographic apparatuses, having a processor adapted to carry out the above method or run the above program. The methods and apparatuses can lead to an improvement in critical dimension uniformity.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method. The method includes steps for obtaining (i) measurements of a parameter of the feature, (ii) data related to a process variable of a patterning process, (iii) a functional behavior of the parameter defined as a function of the process variable based on the measurements of the parameter and the data related to the process variable, (iv) measurements of a failure rate of the feature, and (v) a probability density function of the process variable for a setting of the process variable, converting the probability density function of the process variable to a probability density function of the parameter based on a conversion function, where the conversion function is determined based on the function of the process variable, and determining a parameter limit of the parameter based on the probability density function of the parameter and the measurements of the failure rate.
