摘要：
A guideline for evaluating LER and total procedure to estimate effects of measured LER on device performance were proposed. Spatial-frequency distributions of LER in various resist materials were investigated and general characteristics of spatial-frequency distribution of LER were obtained. Measurement parameters for accurate LER measurement can be calculated according to the guideline. Measured line-width distribution was used to predicting degradation and variation in MOS transistor performance using the two-dimensional device simulation. Effect of long-period component of LER was clarified as well as short-period component.
