Abstract In this work, a 90-nm critical dimension (CD) technological process in an ArF laser lithography system is simulated, and the swing curves of the CD linewidth changing with photoresist thickness are obtained in the absence and presence of bottom antireflection coating (BARC). By analysing the simulation result, it can be found that in the absence of BARC the CD swing curve effect is very bigger than that in the presence of BARC. So, the BARC should be needed for the 90-nm CD manufacture. The optimum resist thickness for 90-nm CD in the presence of BARC is obtained, and the optimizing process in this work can be used for reference in practice.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
