Simplified Process to Reduce Cost of Double Patterning

IMEC, in collaboration with JSR Corporation, realized a simplified process using only one etch step to reduce the cost of double patterning. 32nm lines and spaces were printed with a double exposure/single etch process, effectively freezing the resist after the first exposure. This simplified process paves the way for an industrial take-up of double patterning for the 32nm technology node.

32nm SRAM Fabricated Using EUV Technology

IMEC reports functional 0.186µm2 32nm SRAM cells made with FinFETs from which the contact layer was successfully printed using ASML's full field extreme ultraviolet (EUV) Alpha Demo Tool (ADT). Applied Materials, using its most advanced deposition systems, was key to fabricating the ultra-small circuit structures.
