Abstract
OPTICAL LITHOGRAPHY is the central pattern-determining technology in microelectronics. In this paper new techniques for quantitative understandingo f lithography as appliedt o positive photoresist will be presented. These techniques involve a mathematical model based on physically measurable parameters; this enables computation of the effects of exposure and development ona photoresist film.
