Good Agreement

Directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) has become an intense field of study as a complementary technique to conventional lithography for 1×-nm semiconductor patterning. DSA contact hole (C/H) shrinking is a possible implemental technique in the DSA process. In this paper, a DSA C/H shrinking is fully modeled and simulated by using a self-consistent field theory (SCFT). Simulation results show good agreement with experiment results. In terms of this simulation, the potential of DSA C/H shrinking with thermal reflow is integrated into the conventional CMOS lithography process in order to achieve high resolution and pattern density multiplication at a low cost. The optical proximity correction (OPC) of DSA C/H shrinking due to prepattern C/H and pitch can increase process window for DSA C/H shrinking.
