We have proposed a new method to fabricate quantum dots by etching grain boundary of poly-Si recrystallized from very thin amorphous Si. Electrical characteristics such as I-V and C-V of MOS capacitor are introduced. We consider the proposed method is very simple and reasonable, but still needs process optimization of the nano-crystal formation.

DFR (Dry Film Photoresist) is widely used mainly in micro plating process. However as the result of liquid intrusion into substrate/DFR interface, a bird's-beak like "eaves" is formed at bottom of a plating pattern. The purpose of this presentation is to clarify the mechanism of the "eaves" formation by analyzing adhesion energies at the substrate/DFR/liquids threefold.

The restriction enzyme Eco RI is a nanomachine of nature that is a homodimeric protein and has the molecular weight of 60 kDa in the dimer. The physiological function of this machine is degradation of foreign DNA invading cells, and this degradation requires binding to a specific sequence of six base pairs on DNA, GAATTC. Eco RI binds preferably to the GAATTC sequence with the highest affinity to form stable complexes, while binding to other base-pair sequences of DNA with much lower affinity. The difference in the two distinct affinities between sequences, called specificity, enables Eco RI to distinguish the specific GAATTC sequence from flanking nonspecific sequences. The specificity of Eco RI has been applied to in situ optical genome mapping, in which ordered positions of the sequence of interest are visualized along huge chromosomal DNA. Oana et al. has employed photolabeled Eco RI as a landmark for GAATTC sequences to determine their relative positions on asingle DNA molecule in a polyacrylamide solution. Optical mapping with Eco Rl should be facilitated if larger numbers of DNA molecules are stretched, arrayed, and fixed simultaneously, because higher concentrations of DNA enhances binding of the enzyme to DNA and extension of DNA manifests the distance of Eco RI molecules bound onto the DNA from a DNA end. One of the aims of the present study is to show this advantage of an optical mapping with extended DNA.

We are proposing a cavity-confined type laser-produced plasma as a debris-less and high conversion efficiency source for EUV lithography. Our idea is devised in order to make the best use of solid target having higher conversion efficiency and easier wavelength tunability than gas targets. In order to overcome the debris problem, two contrivances are made, i.e., ablation of the solid surface by the irradiation of an ultrashort pulse, and enhancement of the ablated mass density by the cavity structure of the target. Preliminary experimental evaluation of the cavity confinement effect and high efficiency EUV emission are reported.

Electron projection lithography (EPL) techniques, such as SCALPEL and PREVAIL, are expected to be candidates for fabricating 80-nm devices or less. In electron-beam lithography, the proximity effect correction (PEC) is the most critical issue for obtaining sufficient dimension accuracy and good resist pattern profiles. The SCALPEL GHOST method, proposed by Watson et al. (1995), has a remarkable advantage to throughput by doing both the pattern and correction exposures, simultaneously. This method, however, degrades the exposure intensity contrast due to a larger background dose than that in other PEC methods, such as pattern modification. In this paper, we investigate the essential conditions for the SCALPEL GHOST PEC to achieve 80-nm resolution in 100 kV EFL in terms of the exposure intensity contrast.

We developed and confirmed the feasibility of a new carbon ARC (CARC) for both KrF and ArF lithography. CARC has high conformability on topography and is easily removable during the resist stripping process. Also good ARC performance and etch characteristics of CARC with sublayers are obtained. Thus, CARC is a promising alternative to SiON ARC and organic ARC.

It is revealed by optical image calculations that iso-focal tilt in phase edge lithography can be corrected by adjustment of primary spherical aberration. Tolerant range of the adjustment is /spl sim/0.02 wave. Moreover, DOF becomes larger than that in ideal optics under corrected spherical aberrations with large RMS-OPD of /spl sim/0.66 wave.
