    Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a photoresist pattern with enhanced etch resistance on a semiconductor substrate. A photoresist pattern is first formed on the substrate. A silicon-containing polymer layer is deposited over the photoresist pattern on the substrate. A thermal treatment is performed to form a cross-linked anti-etch shielding layer between the photoresist pattern and the silicon-containing layer. Then, the remaining silicon containing layer is removed. A plasma treatment is performed in order to increase an etch resistance of the cross-linked anti-etch shielding layer and the photoresist pattern.

    Abstract: A novel method for eliminating or reducing the accumulation of electrostatic charges on semiconductor wafers during spin-rinse-drying of the wafers is disclosed. The method includes rinsing a wafer; applying an ionic solution to the wafer; and spin-drying the wafer. During the spin-drying step, the ionic solution neutralizes electrostatic charges on the wafer as the wafer is rotated. This reduces the formation of defects in devices fabricated on the wafer, as well as prevents or reduces electrostatic interference with processing equipment during photolithographic and other fabrication processes.

    Abstract: A method and system for cleaning lens used in an immersion lithography system is disclosed. After positioning a wafer in the immersion lithography system, a light exposing operation is performed on the wafer using an objective lens immersed in a first fluid containing surfactant, wherein the surfactant reduces a likelihood for having floating defects adhere to the wafer and the objective lens.

    Abstract: A method for forming an etch-resistant photoresist pattern on a semiconductor substrate is provided. In one embodiment, a photoresist layer is formed on the substrate. The photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a photoresist pattern. A polymer-containing layer is formed over the photoresist pattern. The photoresist pattern and the polymer-containing layer are thermally treated so that polymer is substantially diffused into the photoresist pattern thereby enhancing the etch resistance of the photoresist pattern. The polymer-containing layer is thereafter removed.
