Abstract
Line edge roughness in chemically amplified EUV resists is strongly determined by the heterogeneity of the resist and the chemical processes between exposure and etching. A direct visualization of the chemical changes during development would obviously help to quickly optimize this process. However, no current technique has the sensitivity and spatial resolution to allow such metrology without adversely affecting the resist chemistry. Here, we show the potential of IR-AFM to follow the chemical processes in resist without causing chemical changes.
