Abstract
Cost-effective scaling of semiconductor devices is enabled by High NA EUV technology, securing a solution for several upcoming technology nodes. This new technology offers improvements in resolution and overlay capabilities, while we need to take the impact of the half-field exposure (inherent to anamorphic nature of High NA optics) into account. This is all done while meeting the tighter on-product performance requirements in future nodes. This paper will describe the on-product performance requirements and corresponding capabilities of the High NA EUV system at the advanced nodes; especially from overlay, imaging and focus point-of-view. This will include half-field exposure use-cases that provide increased flexibility in overlay control while optimizing the field-layout to maximize productivity. Stitching of two half-fields will also be discussed from both overlay and imaging perspective. Finally, we will review the requirements of the industry eco-system.
