Abstract

Ion projection lithography (IPL) has demonstrated the ability to replicate high resolution patterns with very short exposure times. Computer modeling of masks used in a hypothetical IPL system Is accomplished to estimate mask distortion during fabrication and exposure. Radiation cooling is shown to play an important role in temperature control. Two different methods of mask temperature control are examined. Results suggest a high degree of pattern stability can be expected from this type of mask.
