We realized a proof-of-concept (POC) tool confirming writing principles and lithography performance capability. The new architecture will be introduced for mask writing at first, but has also the potential for 1xmask and direct wafer writing. The POC system achieves the predicted 5nm 1sigma blur across the array of 512 x 512 programmable 20nm beams. 24nm HP has been demonstrated and complex patterns have been written in scanning stripe exposure mode. The first production worthy system for the 11nm HP mask node is scheduled for 2014. Implementing a multi-axis column configuration, 50x/100x productivity enhancement is possible for direct 300/450mm wafer writing.

VIENNA, AUSTRIA (AUGUST 24, 2012) – IMS Nanofabrication AG (IMS) (www.ims.co.at) announced today that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC) has joined IMS’ multibeam mask writer development collaboration, adding its support to that of collaboration founding members Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP), Intel Corporation and Photronics Inc.  The purpose of the collaborative program is to develop an electron multi-beam mask writer for use in advanced mask lithography applications with the goal of meeting lithography specifications below 10nm while achieving high throughput requirements.  The program is nearing the completion of a proof-of-concept phase, and the upcoming phase of the collaboration will focus on the design and construction of an alpha and beta version of the multi-beam mask writer.

“The newly started development of alpha and beta electron multi-beam mask writer tools is strongly supported by TSMC joining the collaboration with DNP, Intel, and Photronics,” said Elmar Platzgummer, CEO / CTO of IMS.

C.S. Yoo, head of E-Beam Operation (EBO) at TSMC said: “We are pleased to work with IMS and other partners in the industry on this multi-beam mask writer project. We are very encouraged by this partnership’s goal of producing a mask writer with both accuracy and high productivity around 2015 for nodes beyond 10 nanometers. This project shows great potential for producing that breakthrough.”

The founding members welcome the addition of TSMC and believe that the collaboration demonstrates solid industry support from both merchant mask makers and captive mask shops. IMS believes that by enlisting customers early in the development phase, the design and operation of this new architecture will readily adapt to the needs of a high volume manufacturing environment. The collaboration participants will provide input to IMS on mask manufacturing issues that are critical to leading-edge device manufacturers and to leading merchant mask makers.  Collaboration members expect to benefit from early access to the electron mask exposure tool (eMET) technology and from the commercialization of the technology in partnership with additional industry players. This collaboration is representative of a new approach to managing development programs that are needed to address critical demands in mask making.
