摘要:
The object of the invention is to provide a composition for forming an upper layer film for immersion exposure capable of forming an upper layer film effectively inhibited from developing defects through an immersion exposure process, such as a watermark defect and dissolution residue defect. Also provided are an upper layer film for immersion exposure and a method of forming a resist pattern. The composition for forming an upper layer film includes a resin ingredient and a solvent. The resin ingredient includes a resin (A) having at least one kind of repeating units selected among those represented by the formulae (1-1) to (1-3) and at least either of the two kinds of repeating units represented by the formulae (2-1) and (2-2). (1-1) (1-2) (1-3) (2-1) (2-2) [In the formulae, R1 represents hydrogen or methyl; R2 and R3 each represents methylene, linear or branched C2-6 alkylene, or alicyclic C4-12 alkylene; R4 represents hydrogen or methyl; and R5 represents a single bond, methylene, or linear or branched C2-6 alkylene.].

An upper layer film forming composition for forming an upper layer film on the surface of a photoresist film includes (A) a resin dissolvable in a developer for the photoresist film and (B) a compound having a sulfonic acid residue group, the composition forming an upper layer film with a receding contact angle to water of 70° or more. The upper layer film forming composition of the present invention can form an upper layer film which has a sufficient transparency and is stably maintained without eluting the components into a medium without being intermixed with a photoresist film, can form a resist pattern with high resolution while effectively suppressing a defect, and can suppress a blob defect.

[In the general formulas (1-1) and (1-2), R1 is hydrogen or the like; R2 is single bonds or the like; and R3 is a fluorine-substituted, linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or the like.] The composition can form an upper layer film giving a sufficiently high receded contact angle.

In some embodiments, the present invention is directed to methods that involve the combination of step-and-flash imprint lithography (SFIL) with a multi-tier template to simultaneously pattern multiple levels of, for example, an integrated circuit device. In such embodiments, the imprinted material generally does not serve or act as a simple etch mask or photoresist, but rather serves as the insulation between levels and lines, i.e., as a functional dielectric material. After imprinting and a multiple step curing process, the imprinted pattern is filled with metal, as in dual damascene processing. Typically, the two printed levels will comprise a “via level,” which is used to make electrical contact with the previously patterned under-level, and a “wiring level.” The present invention provides for the direct patterning of functional materials, which represents a significant departure from the traditional approach to microelectronics manufacturing.

A domain partitioning system for a multi-node computer system is disclosed. An external server manager is coupled to a domain configuration unit by a dedicated sideband channel. The server manager has write privileges to the domain configuration unit that allows the server manager to control the domain partitioning and the routing tables. None of the domains of the computer system are permitted write access to the domain configuration unit. In one embodiment, the domain configuration unit is a set of domain partition registers and routing table registers coupled to a system interconnect.

A radiation-sensitive resin composition comprising: (A) an alkali insoluble or scarcely alkali-soluble resin having an acid-dissociable protecting group of the following formula [I], wherein R1 groups are monovalent alicyclic hydrocarbon groups or alkyl groups, provided that at least one of the R1 groups is the monovalent alicyclic hydrocarbon group, or any two of the R1 groups and the carbon atom form a divalent alicyclic hydrocarbon group, (B) a photoacid generator, and (C) propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, &ggr;-butyrolactone, and cyclohexanone as solvents. The resin composition is useful as a chemically-amplified resist for microfabrication utilizing deep ultraviolet rays and exhibits excellent film thickness uniformity and storage stability.

A rotary-head type magnetic tape recorder for recording a video signal and an audio signal on a magnetic tape by means of a rotary head controlled on the basis of the video signal. Difference is determined between a rate at which the digital audio signal is recorded on the recording medium and which is determined by the video signal and a rate of input data determined by a sampling frequency of the audio signal for a number N of samples of the digital signal to be included within one field period synchronized with the video signal. The number of samples for one field of input data is set by preparing on the basis of the result of detection of the difference in rate a first field containing a number of samples greater than the number N within and a second field containing a number of samples smaller than the number N. Blocks for recording the PCM audio signal on the recording medium are prepared by adding a first error detection/ correction code to the audio signal for every n symbols, while the symbols are imparted with amounts of delay differing from one another and subjected to diagonal incomplete interleave for thereby adding a second error detection/correction code. After addition of a block synchronizing signal, recording is performed on the tape. By adopting the variable fields, matching can be attained between the asynchronous audio and video signal fields. Reproduction capability notwithstanding of burst error is enhanced by incomplete diagonal interleave. Difference in time lag between the video signal and the audio signal involved in the reproduction thereof can be suppressed to a minimum.
