Abstract

A semiconductor lithography process. A photoresist film is coated on a substrate. The photoresist film is subjected to a flood exposure to blanket expose the photoresist film across the substrate to a first radiation with a relatively lower dosage. The photoresist film is then subjected to a main exposure using a photomask to expose the photoresist film in a step and scan manner to a second radiation with a relatively higher dosage. After baking, the photoresist film is developed.
