    Abstract: A method of processing a semiconductor wafer can be used prior to an immersion lithography process. The method includes providing a layer of organic photoresist onto a surface of the semiconductor wafer and removing a portion of the photoresist from an outer edge of the wafer using an edge-bead removal process. The outer edge of the wafer is then cleaned using one or more processes, including a mechanical scrubber/cleaner, mega-sonic power, de-ionized water and/or chemical solution.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a photoresist layer over a substrate and patterning the photoresist layer to form photoresist portions. A second layer is formed over the substrate in areas not covered by the photoresist portions and the photoresist portions are removed. After removing the photoresist portions, the second layer is used to modify the substrate to create at least a portion of the semiconductor device.

    Abstract: A method includes forming a photo resist pattern, and performing a light-exposure on a first portion of the photo resist pattern, wherein a second portion of the photo resist pattern is not exposed to light. A photo-acid reactive material is coated on the first portion and the second portion of the photo resist pattern. The photo-acid reactive material reacts with the photo resist pattern to form a film. Portions of the photo-acid reactive material that do not react with the photo resist pattern are then removed, and the film is left on the photo resist pattern.
