The basic complication of surface structure analysis by LEED comes from the fact that observation of the diffraction pattern geometry serves only to determine the size and shape of the two-dimensional unit cell, which... 

The diffraction spots are expected where transmitted and diffracted electron beams intersect with the detector. The basis for diffraction pattern geometry analysis, thus, is the crystal reciprocal lattice and the Lane diffraction condition, or the equivalent Bragg s law, for diffraction ... 

Requires suitable surface for selectivity. Assumes negligible shrinkage. Requires lift-off medium self-aligned to geometries. Severe restriction on total areas and pattern geometries. 

Pattern Geometries Feature size and pattern density affect localized pressure distribution and therefore affect the removal rate at the feature scale. Small features polish quicker than large features, and small pattern densities polish faster than large pattern densities. Feature size and pattern density thus affect planarization rates in ILD polishing and metal dishing and lUD erosion in metal polishing. 

A further comparison of negative and positive photoresist features is presented in table 3.1. This table is not exhaustive and is meant only as a practical guide for selection of resist tone. The choice might depend on a variety of considerations such as cost, speed, resolution etc. The choice of resist tone might even depend on the specific intended pattern geometry. 

Actually, LWmin is equal to p/2. Here, p denotes the pitch, i.e. the distance made up of a pair of lines and spaces. A is the wavelength of the exposure light, and ki is a system factor that depends on various parameters such as resist response, pattern geometry in the mask, etc. NA is the numerical aperture given by Eq. (9-2).
