Paper Abstract
In this paper we present a methodology to investigate and optimize the CD balance between the four
features of a final 32nm lines and space pattern created by spacer pitch doubling.
Metrology (SEM and scatterometry) was optimized to measure and separate the two lines and the
two spaces of the 32nm features. In case a space unbalance emerged during the various processing
steps such as etch and deposition, this was compensated by calculating and feed-back local dose
offsets to the scanner. For the spacer process used in this study we observe 20..40% improvement in
space CDU and space balance, when applying the dose corrections.
