摘要
Negative resist image distortion is caused by resist swelling during development and is a major problem in ultrahigh resolution electron beam lithography. This problem has been overcome through the use of ultrasonically assisted development. In addition, exposure dose latitude is increased by 50% compared to conventional dip development, due to the improvement in contrast. These advantages have been exploited in order to realize similar to6 nm wide lines in calixarene resist. (C) 2001 American Vacuum Society.
