Question: 1 0 . 3 . In a certain process, it is desired that the pitch of metal lines be equal to or less than

10.3. In a certain process, it is desired that the pitch of metal lines be equal to or less than \(1.0\mu \mathrm{~m}\)(the pitch equals one metal linewidth plus one spacing between metal lines, measured at top of features). Assume that the metal finewidth and spacing are equal (that is,\(0.5\mu \mathrm{~m}\) each). The height of such structures is also \(0.5\mu \mathrm{~m}\), and the minimum lithographic dimension is \(0.25\mu \mathrm{~m}\).
a. What minimum degree of anisotropy is needed in an etch process in order to produce such a structure?
b. What minimum pitch could be obtained for such a structure with wet etching? (Again with minimum lithograph dimension of \(0.25\mu \mathrm{~m}\), thickness of \(0.5\mu \mathrm{~m}\), and equal metal width and spacing.)
