Challenges for DSA Lithography
• High performance DSA material – High χ material
– Resolution, LWR/LER, Etching
• Long term stability – Robust material and tool for environmental control such as surface energy stability,
temperature, humidity, pressure and PH, etc.
– Defectivity, CD and overlay accuracy
• Development of molecular dynamics based DSA simulator – More accurate simulation model
• BCP and related molecular design
• Microphase separation (2D/3D)
– TAT / accuracy trade-off
• DSA OPC/DFM technology – Design rule verification
– DSA and guide patterning (litho/wet/dry)
• Metrology & Inspection – Metrology for 3D profile
– Inspection technology for 1xnmhp and beyond needs to overcome throughput / accuracy / sensitivity trade-off.

Conclusion
Economical factor is dominant criteria for a lithography strategy
For Memory Device; Throughput, Investment & Si Process Cost
For Logic Device ; Mask Cost, Cycle Time
EUVL
Moving from R&D phase to production
Light source performance is improving, but a significant concern.
DSA
DSA will be a complementary technology for all other lithography
EUVL+DSA will be one of candidates for sub 10nm lithography.
Next Challenges
Next generation lithography will depend on innovation of infrastructure technologies such as OPC, DFM, M&I, etching and cleaning.
