    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.

    Abstract: A method of lithography patterning includes forming a first material layer on a substrate, the first material layer being substantially free of silicon, and forming a patterned resist layer including at least one opening therein above the first material layer. A second material layer containing silicon is formed on the patterned resist layer and an opening is formed in the first material layer using the second material layer as a mask.

    Abstract: A method of forming a resist pattern in a semiconductor device layer includes forming a buffer layer on a semiconductor device layer and forming a resist layer on the buffer layer. A decomposing agent is released into a portion of the buffer layer by a portion of the resist layer whereupon the portion of the buffer layer and the portion of the resist layer are removed to form a process window substantially free of resist residue that can be subsequently exploited for etching of the semiconductor device layer.

    Abstract: A method of performing immersion lithography on a semiconductor substrate includes providing a layer of resist onto a surface of the semiconductor substrate and exposing the resist layer using an immersion lithography exposure system. The immersion lithography exposure system utilizes a fluid during exposure and may be capable of removing some, but not all, of the fluid after exposure. After exposure, a treatment process is used to remove the remaining portion of fluid from the resist layer. After treatment, a post-exposure bake and a development step are used.

    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 lithography apparatus generates a tunable magnetic field to facilitate processing of photoresist. The lithography apparatus includes a chamber and a substrate stage in the chamber operable to hold a substrate. A magnetic module provides a magnetic field to the substrate on the substrate stage. The magnetic module is configured to provide the magnetic field in a tunable and alternating configuration with respect to its magnitude and frequency. The magnetic field is provided to have a gradient in magnitude along a Z-axis that is perpendicular to the substrate stage to cause magnetically-charged particles disposed over the substrate stage to move up and down along the Z-axis. The lithography apparatus also includes a radiation energy source and an objective lens configured to receive radiation energy from the radiation energy source and direct the radiation energy toward the substrate positioned on the substrate stage.
