Definitions
- the present invention relates to materials, methods and apparatuses for forming a patterned layer of 2D material.
- a lithographic apparatus is a machine constructed to apply a desired pattern onto a substrate.
- a lithographic apparatus can be used, for example, in the manufacture of integrated circuits (ICs).

- the laser beam 2 is incident upon the tin at the plasma formation region 4.
- the deposition of laser energy into the tin creates a tin plasma 7 at the plasma formation region 4.
- Radiation, including EUV radiation, is emitted from the plasma 7 during deexcitation and recombination of electrons with ions of the plasma.
- Collector 5 comprises, for example, a near-normal incidence radiation collector 5 (sometimes referred to more generally as a normal-incidence radiation collector).
- the collector 5 may have a multilayer mirror structure which is arranged to reflect EUV radiation (e.g., EUV radiation having a desired wavelength such as 13.5 nm).

- any suitable source such as a discharge produced plasma (DPP) source or a free electron laser (FEL) may be used to generate EUV radiation.
- the process of manufacturing semiconductors comprises coating a surface of the substrate with a resist. An exposure process may then be performed in which the surface coated by the resist is irradiated by the patterned EUV radiation beam. Photons in the patterned EUV radiation beam react with the resist to induce a change in the irradiated parts of the resist.
- a development process may then be performed in which either only the changed parts of the resist, or only the unchanged parts of the resist, are removed so that the surface of the substrate is coated with resist with a pattern that is dependent on the pattern of the EUV radiation beam. Further processes may then be performed to manufacture semiconductors in dependence on the pattern of the resist on the surface of the substrate.
- a known resist suitable for use with lithography is a chemically amplified resist (CAR) and may be based on polymers. Upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation, the polymers in the CAR absorb photons and secondary electrons may be generated. The generation of secondary electrons in the resist is how a high-energy photon loses most of its energy.
- CAR chemically amplified resist
- the secondary electrons in the resist diffuse and may generate further secondary electrons with lower energies until the energy of the secondary electrons is lower than that required to break bonds in the CAR.
- the electrons generated excite photo-acid generators (PAGs) which subsequently decompose and can catalyse a de-blocking reaction that occurs on the polymer. This leads to a change in solubility of the CAR.
- PAGs photo-acid generators
- Alternative resists for use in lithography, in particular EUV lithography comprise metal oxide nanoclusters. These resists comprise metal oxide nanoparticles which are prevented from clustering together by each metal oxide nanoparticle having a ligand shell. Upon EUV exposure, photons are absorbed by the nanoparticles and secondary electrons are generated that cause the metal oxide nanoparticles to cluster together. This changes the solubility of the exposed parts of the resist. A development process may then remove only the unexposed parts of the resist, or only the exposed parts of the resist. A metal oxide nanoparticle has a higher EUV absorption cross-section than the carbon atoms in a CAR and there is therefore a greater likelihood of EUV photons being absorbed. Accordingly, metal oxide based resists require a less intense EUV beam and/or a shorter exposure time. Furthermore, the different conversion mechanism has potentially lower chemical noise than CAR resist system.

- the channel of the MOSFET is made from a 2D material, the channel may be shorter than if standard non- 2D materials are used. Many other 2D materials may be used for the channel due to their semiconductor bandgap.
- the 2D material may be WS2, WSe2, MoTe2, or other 2D materials.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de former un motif de matériau 2D sur une surface (401), le procédé consistant à : déposer un matériau précurseur (402a) sur une surface, le matériau précurseur comprenant un ou plusieurs constituants servant à former un matériau 2D sur la surface et un ou plusieurs constituants servant à former des réticulations suite à un éclairage par rayonnement ; éclairer le matériau précurseur déposé avec un rayonnement à motifs de façon à ce que des réticulations se forment dans le matériau précurseur éclairé (402b) ; effectuer un processus de développement pour éliminer le matériau précurseur qui ne comprend pas de réticulations (402a) ; effectuer un ou plusieurs processus pour éliminer les constituants du matériau précurseur de façon à ce qu'il ne reste sensiblement que le ou les constituants servant à former le matériau 2D (402c, 402d) ; et effectuer un processus de cristallisation pour former le matériau 2D sur la surface (402e).
