This paper describes the modelling and simulation of
two resolution enhancement techniques in lithography ; 1) phase
shift mask (PSM) technology and 2) top surface imaging (TSI)
with silylation and dry development. The effect of the duty ratio
on the image contrast is computed. Simulated one and two
dimensional rim shifters and attenuated PSMs are presented.
The effect of the aerial image on the silylation profile for the top
imaging processes, DESIRE and PRIME, is also presented. The
effect of the first etch step on the final resist profiles is
examined. The partial pressure and the presence of magnetic
fields are also presented.
