Abstract
A magnification mismatch between exposures levels represents a significant source of potential overlay errors in proximity x-ray lithography. We describe an approach using mechanical forces applied to the x-ray mask to adjust the relative magnification of the mask and wafer. Experiments have been performed which demonstrate the potential for magnification adjustment of more than 10 ppm. In addition, finite element modeling been used to understand the experimental results and develop an optimized arrangement of forces so as to provide magnification adjustment while adding virtually no distortion.
