Here are some sample animations developed in our lab. We primarily use EnSight to develop our 2-D animations and VRML files from ANSYS results (.rst or .rth).


If you have a username and password, you can access our protected animations here.

The following files are previewed by the picture on the left and an introduction is provided under the title of the animation.


Falcon 50 (28 seconds)

 


This animation shows the temperature distributions of optical mask due to electron beam (e-beam) patterning of IBM Nighteagle / Falcon layouts. 

A serpentine writing strategy was used in this simulation. The thermomechanical distortions are calculated by using those temperature results as thermal loadings.

Creating a checkerboard pattern on an optical substrate using electron beam patterning (59 seconds)


The animation shows the patterning of an optical substrate using a 2 µm X 2 µm shaped beam. The pattern, a checkerboard, is patterned with a serpentine writing strategy. The beam has a current density of 96 A/cm^2. Each flash is on for a duration of 0.1 µs with a 0.1 µs delay between consecutive flashes. Top and cross sectional views through the second row of patterning are shown.

EUVL Reticle Long-Term Exposure    Thermal Simulation (26 seconds)


This simulation shows the long-term thermal response of the EUVL reticle to heating in the exposure tool.  The wafer initially heats up from ambient temperature until it reaches a quasi-equilibrium condition where it heats up during the patterning of a full device wafer and cools down when the heating ceases when during a wafer change.  The thermal expansion of the reticle, shown greatly magnified is also included in the simulation.

Thermal Simulation of the EUVL Reticle during Exposure (62 seconds)


A column of extreme ultraviolet light is scanned across a reflective lithographic reticle.  A significant fraction of the incident energy is absorbed which heats reticle.  The following is a computer simulation of the exposure heating and the resulting temperature changes.

Bright-field / Dark-field EUVL Reticle Thermal Simulation (99 seconds)

 


This simulation shows the long-term thermal response of the EUVL reticle to heating in the exposure tool.  An extreme in pattern coverage where the left half of the reticle is unpatterned (bright-field) and the right half is 100% patterned (dark-field) is modeled.  The wafer initially heats up from ambient, and then temperatures oscillate between the exposure and wafer change cycles.  The right half of the reticle is hotter because of the increased energy absorption in the fully patterned region.

For the following three VRML animations (.wrl files) 

you will need to download and install Cosmo Player.

This will allow you to move the model while it's animating.
