Dry Resist Patterning Progress and Readiness Towards High NA EUV Lithography

We aim to demonstrate the progress of dry resist development to address specific challenges of high NA EUV lithography. As features scales, resist thickness and interface between resist and underlayer play a crucial role. The co-optimization of underlayers with dry technology enables tuning of the patterning stack for optimal performance.
