Abstract
The past several years have seen many improvements in a wide range of lithographic components of x-ray lithography using synchrotron radiation, including compact SR sources, vertical steppers, x-ray mask, and resist materials, to overcome the low-throughput problem, to improve overlay accuracy, and to make SR lithography a viable and practical method. SR lithography has been used in the test fabrication of LSIs in 0.2- and 0.1- micrometers regions, and has demonstrated an ability to manufacture future LSIs. The infrastructure for widespread industrial use is now beginning to form.
