摘要:
Pinhole-free thin films deposited by glow discharge or plasma polymerization of organosilanes, organosilazones and organosiloxanes for use as reactive ion etch oxygen barriers in multilayer resist structures, of lift-off masks, for fabrication of semiconductor devices, such as integrated circuits. The process includes deposition of thin plasma polymerized organosilicon barrier film over a radiation insensitive polymeric base layer previously coated on a substrate, followed by thermal annealing of the plasma polymerized barrier layer, over which is then coated a radiation sensitive resist layer. After definition of the desired resist pattern by imagewise exposure and development, the image is etch transferred into the barrier layer by reactive sputter etching in a fluorine containing ambient, and subsequently transferred into the base layer, down to the substrate, in an oxygen plasma, during which time the plasma deposited film functions as an oxygen barrier. Final metal patterns are formed by metallization and lift-off steps.

New photosensitive polyimide compositions and processes of using the same in the fabrication of electronic components are provided. These compositions are comprised of ##STR1## containing polyamic acids and/or the corresponding hydroxy-polyamic esters, or hydroxypolyimides and a photoactive component as an additive or as covalently bonded functionality on the polymer chain. These compositions provide positive or negative patterning options and may be used as conventional resist materials, as imageable dielectric or passivating layers, as high Tg ion implant masks or as imageable lift-off layers in the fabrication of multilevel metal structures.
摘要:
A photoresist composition comprised of a radiation scissionable polymeric system having organopolysiloxane segments sensitized by an onium salt is disclosed. Useful organopolysiloxane containing polymers include polysiloxane-polycarbonate block copolymers, and polyorganosiloxane polyaryl esters. The resist films produced from the photoresist compositions exhibit high sensitivity, high thermal stability and resistance to oxygen reactive ion etching which makes them desirable for dry etching processes to enable submicron resolution.

Photosensitive silicon-containing resist compositions comprising hydroxyphenylsilsesquioxanes and siloxanes partially estersified with diazonaphthoquinone sulfonyloxy groups for imageable O.sub.2 RIE barrier films. Methods for forming image patterns on substrates using these photosensitive silicon-containing resist compositions are also provided.
摘要:
A method of image transfer transfer into a substrate by reactive ion etch technique is provided. A mask layer on said substrate is formed by a spin-on film which film is comprised of a mixed organo-functional zircoaluminate or zircotitanate material. The film is dried and cured, and thereafter coated with a radiation sensitive resist. The reist is imagewise exposed and developed, which developing preferably also removes the pattern in the mask exposing the substrate. The substrate is then reactive ion etched, the remaining film acting as a barrier material to the etching.

In a process for forming elements from a slurry that includes particulate ceramic and/or glass, an organic binder resin, and a solvent for the resin, where the element is shaped from the slurry, and the element heated to remove the organic materials of the slurry and subsequently fuse the ceramic and/or glass particles, the improvement comprised of coating the ceramic and/or glass particles prior to forming the slurry with a surface modification compound selected from the group consisting of organo silanes, organo silazanes, titanium chelates, titanium esters, and mixtures thereof.
摘要:
A method is provided for forming a microlithographic relief image having a width of less than one half micron in a bilayer resist composition. The resist composition comprises a single component, silicon-containing photoimageable layer and a polymeric underlayer having a high optical density and a refractive index similar to the refractive index of the overlaying resist. The method provides for the formation of a relief image in the top layer using an i-line (365 nm) or deep ultra violet (170 to 300 nm) light source, followed by O.sub.2 RIE transfer of the relief image into the polymeric underlayer.
摘要:
The use of silicon-containing polyimide as an oxygen etch barrier in a metal lift-off process and as an oxygen etch stop in the fabrication of multi-layer metal structures is described. In practice, a lift-off layer is applied on a substrate, followed by a layer of silicon-containing polyimide and a layer of photoresist. The photoresist is lithographically patterned, and the developed image is transferred into the silicon-containing polyimide layer with a reactive ion etch using a CF.sub.4 /O.sub.2 gas mixture. The pattern is transferred to the lift-off layer in a reactive ion etch process using oxygen. Subsequent blanket metal evaporation followed by removal of the lift-off stencil results in the desired metal pattern on the substrate. In an alternate embodiment, the silicon-containing polyimide can be doped with a photoactive compound reducing the need for a separate photoresist imaging layer on the top.
