Abstract:
An aqueous-alkaline developable photoresist suitable for a lithography in deep ultraviolet light and having a structural resolution in the sub-.mu.m range. The photoresist contains a developable base polymer that comprises anhydride functions that act as solubility-mediating groups and also contains a photo-active component. In addition to being constructed of monomers carrying anhydride groups, the base polymer can be constructed of further monomers that produce designationally defined properties in the photoresist, for example, exhibit resistance to plasma etching processes. The photoresist of the present invention is therefore very versatile.
Abstract:
A simple method for diminishing the trench width in a photoresist structure to below the resolution limit is provided. A photoresist structure is produced and treated with an agent then contains a bulging constituent that reacts with functional groups of the photoresist structure. The bulging constituent causes a volume increase of the photoresist structure. The extent of the volume increase of the photoresist structures is controllable by varying various parameters.
