Abstract
The functional dependence of a resist critical dimension (CD) with respect to resist thickness for a general absorptive thin-film stack in the case of oblique incidence is derived analytically with the rigorous electromagnetic theory. Based on obtained results, we discuss those thin-film effects related to CD control, such as the swing effect, bulk effect, etc., especially in the regime of high numerical aperture optical lithography.
