    摘要: A method of lithographically patterning a substrate that has photoresist having removal areas and non-removal areas includes first exposing at least the non-removal areas to radiation effective to increase outer surface roughness of the photoresist in the non-removal areas at least post-develop but ineffective to change photoresist solubility in a developer for the photoresist to be cleared from the non-removal areas upon develop with the developer. Second exposing of radiation to the removal areas is conducted to be effective to change photoresist solubility in the developer for the photoresist to be cleared from the removal areas upon develop with the developer. The photoresist is developed with the developer effective to clear photoresist from the removal areas and to leave photoresist in the non-removal areas that has outer surface roughness in the non-removal areas which is greater than that before the first exposing. Other implementations and embodiments are contemplated.

    摘要: Methods of forming resist features, resist patterns, and arrays of aligned, elongate resist features are disclosed. The methods include addition of a compound, e.g., an acid or a base, to at least a lower surface of a resist to alter acidity of at least a segment of one of an exposed, acidic resist region and an unexposed, basic resist region. The alteration, e.g., increase or decrease, in the acidity shifts an acid-base equilibrium to either encourage or discourage development of the segment. Such “chemical proximity correction” techniques may be used to enhance the acidity of an exposed, acidic resist segment, to enhance the basicity of an unexposed, basic resist segment, or to effectively convert an exposed, acidic resist segment to an unexposed, basic resist segment or vice versa. Thus, unwanted line breaks, line merges, or misalignments may be avoided.

    摘要: Methods of forming a patterned, silicon-enriched developable antireflective material. One such method comprises forming a silicon-enriched developable antireflective composition. The silicon-enriched developable antireflective composition comprises a silicon-enriched polymer and a crosslinking agent. The silicon-enriched polymer and the crosslinking agent are reacted to form a silicon-enriched developable antireflective material that is insoluble and has at least one acid-sensitive moiety. A positive-tone photosensitive material, such as a positive-tone photoresist, is formed over the silicon-enriched developable antireflective material and regions thereof are exposed to radiation. The exposed regions of the positive-tone photosensitive material and underlying regions of the silicon-enriched developable antireflective material are removed. Additional methods are disclosed, as are semiconductor device structures including a silicon-enriched developable antireflective material.
