Abstract

The line edge roughness (LER) and line width roughness (LWR) transfer in a self-aligned quadruple patterning (SAQP) process is shown for the first time. Three LER characterization methods, including conventional standard deviation method, power spectral density (PSD) method and frequency domain 3-sigma method, are used in the analysis. The wiggling is also quantitatively characterized for each SAQP step with a wiggling factor. This work will benefit both process optimization and process monitoring.
