This paper presents a method for precisely evaluating the 3D point spread function (PSF) and model parameters for the resist processes in laser grayscale lithography. The 3D PSF and resist model parameters were determined by fitting a detailed model of the grayscale process to experimental measurements of an array of test patterns. Measuring the entire 3D profile provides more data for process calibration, and therefore a more accurate model. The derived model parameters were applied to correctly predict the topography of sawtooth patterns.en670620530conference paper
