Abstract
For fine pattern formation, the pattern shrinkage process is indispensable in the lithography process in terms of cost and simplicity. In this paper, a full-shrinkage process of contact holes (C/H) with the directed self-assembly (DSA) of a block copolymer (BCP) is modeled and simulated by using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD). Simulation results show good agreement with experiment results. This simulation can explain how DSA C/H shrinkage behaves differently for different-sized and -shaped features. The sensitivities of the simulation parameters for the simulated profiles are analyzed by using a Taguchi analysis. Through the sensitivities of these easy-to-optimize parameters, DSA C/H shrinkage can be effectively predicted.
