Recent upgrades made to the SEMATECH Berkeley microfield exposure tool are summarized and some of the latest resist characterization results are presented. Tool illumination uniformity covering the full 200×600μm2 wafer-side field of view is demonstrated and intrawafer focus control of 1.8nm is shown. Printing results demonstrate chemically amplified resist resolution of 28nm dense and 22.7nm semi-isolated. Moreover, contact printing results show that shot noise is not a dominant issue in current 35nm contact printing performance.
