Note on stability 穩定性說明
Liquid Medusa resists are stable for up to 6 months if kept refrigerated at least 8 – 12 °C. Coated substrates can be stored under normal conditions and processed without any loss of sensitivity or resolution even after several weeks. Current studies show that irradiated substrates can be processed even after 21 days without significant loss of sensitivity.
Medusa 82阻劑保存在8-12℃環境下,有效期限為6個月. 阻劑已塗佈在基板上,在正常情況下仍可維持其敏感度或解析度至數週. 目前研究顯示,已曝光的基板在21天後顯影,其敏感度幾乎不變.

Process instruction 製程參數
The sensitivity changes in dependence on the acceleration voltage. While 1300 μC/cm2 is sufficient at 30 kV, this value increases to 4000 μC/cm2 at 100 kV. Figure 1 shows the corresponding dose scale (90 s AR 300-44, 23 °C). Recommended are development times of 60-90 s.
Medusa 82的敏感度會隨著使用的加速電壓改變. 加速電壓在30kV時只需約1,300 uC/cm2的劑量; 在100kV時則需增加到4,000 uC/cm2. 左下圖1為不同曝光劑量下顯影的結果(顯影劑AR 300-44, 23℃, 顯影時間 60-90 sec)

Figure 1: Dose scale (400 – 5000 µC/cm²) Medusa 82. Resist: SX AR-N 8200.06/1
100 nm; coating: 60 s 4000 rpm;
soft-bake: 15 min @ 120 °C;
exposure: Raith Pioneer, 30 kV;
development: 90 s AR 300-44; 23 °C; stopping: 30 s DI water
Also AR 300-46, AR 300-47 and AR 300-73 can be used for development, but the different developer concentrations affect the required development time and the dose. AR 300-44 results in a contrast of 4.7 at a required dose of 690 μC/cm², while AR 300-73 results in a contrast of 4.6 at a required dose of 785 μC/cm² under otherwise equal conditions
顯影劑AR 300-46, AR 300-47及AR 300-73皆適用,但濃度不同,所需顯影時間及曝光劑量也隨著改變. 下圖2顯示,以AR 300-44顯影,在曝光劑量690uC/cm2時,對比度達4.7. 在其它參數一樣下,以AR 300-73顯影,要達4.6對比度則需785 uC/cm2的曝光劑量

Figure 2: Influence of developer concentration on contrast and dose
To increase sensitivity, a post exposure bake may be required after irradiation, which increases the sensitivity the increases by a factor of 8 at 100 kV and even by a factor of 20 at 30 kV. In addition, also the contrast is increased.
增加曝後烤步驟可增加Medusa 82的敏感度. 在100kV加速電壓,曝光後加以曝後烤可使敏感度增約8倍; 在30kV則增加約20倍. 下圖3為不同曝後烤條件下敏感度的變化.
