Background
In the field of integrated circuits, there is a constant trend toward higher integration levels, and new processes and techniques are continually developed to achieve smaller line width chips, and are approaching their physical limits.
The gate is the control terminal of the transistor and the gate size has a significant impact on the performance of the electronic device. At present, the processing of nanoscale gate length dimensions for devices becomes increasingly difficult. When an electronic device is prepared by using the existing photoetching technology, the gate length of the electronic device not only depends on the resolution of photoetching equipment, but also depends on various influence factors such as photoresist types, baking temperature, exposure dose, developing temperature and time in the photoetching process. This results in devices with gate length dimensions that are not easily controlled precisely, especially with gates of nanometer scale that are difficult to fabricate. At present, the nano gate is mainly prepared by combining an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine with a FIN-FET process, the cost is high, the requirement on equipment is high, and the production is not easy.
In addition to the preparation of fine patterns having a size of 100nm or less using an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, the preparation can be carried out by Electron Beam Lithography (EBL), and a fine structure having a wavelength of 10nm or less can be prepared by making the electron beam have a very short de Broglie wavelength. However, EBL is inefficient, has a strong proximity effect, has a high requirement for the stability of the device, and has a great problem in the developing and etching processes for electron beam exposure.
In order to maintain the continuous development of the integrated circuit industry, a new preparation method needs to be developed, so that the preparation of a gate with a nanoscale can be simplified, the long dimension of the gate can be accurately controlled, the preparation of a nano-gate device can be realized, and the performance of an electronic device can be further improved.
