Acoustic resonant imaging technique for characterization ofphotoresist properties depending on hard bake temperature by Hyelin Kim, Hironori Tohmyoh

“…This technique is based on acoustic resonance, where sound passing through a thin layer reaches extreme values in its transmission and reflection coefficients at a resonant frequency. With plotting these acoustic properties in two-dimensional, in the case of photoresists, this method allows for the identification of regions with distinct properties, facilitating optimal alignment for mask positioning and direction. …”
