摘要:
A process for producing a naphthoquinone diazide ester of a phenolic compound that is useful in a photoresist composition, which process comprises providing a naphthoquinone diazide ester solution in an organic polar solvent; adding the resulting naphthoquinone diazide ester solution to a precipitation bath that is maintained at a temperature of from about 0.degree. C. to about -30.degree. C.; and filtering the resulting naphthoquinone diazide ester.
摘要:
The present invention is a process for precisely measuring the concentration of a nonionic surfactant in an aqueous alkaline solution. The process comprises extracting the surfactant into an organic solvent, separating the solvent and forming a colored complex that can be quantitatively measured to give the actual concentration of the surfactant.

Disclosed is a photoresist composition comprising: a) at least one film forming resin selected from the group consisting of novolak resins, and polyhydroxystyrenes; b) at least one photoactive compound or photoacid generator; and c) a solvent composition comprising at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of acetals and ketals. Also disclosed is a photoresist composition comprising a polycarbonate resin and a solvent composition comprising at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of acetals and ketals. Also disclosed is a process for imaging a photoresist composition, comprising the steps of: a) coating a suitable substrate with any of the aforementioned photoresist compositions; b) baking the substrate to substantially remove the solvent; c) imagewise irradiating the photoresist film; and d) removing the imagewise exposed or, alternatively, the unexposed areas of the coated substrate with a suitable developer.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for producing an acid sensitive liquid composition. The method involves passing an acid sensitive liquid composition containing a carbonate represented by the formula ROC(═O)OR1 wherein R and R1 independently are a hydrocarbyl group of 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, through at least one of the following two filter sheets: (a) a filter sheet containing a self-supporting fibrous matrix having immobilized therein a particulate filter aid and a particulate ion exchange resin having an average particle size of from about 2 to about 10 microns, wherein the particulate filter aid and ion exchange resin particles are distributed substantially uniformly throughout a cross-section of said matrix; and/or (b) a filter sheet containing a self-supporting matrix of fibers having immobilized therein particulate filter aid and binder resin, and having an average pore size of about 0.05 to 0.5 &mgr;m. Also disclosed is a method for treating a film of a photoresist composition disposed on a surface, which involves contacting the photoresist composition with an acid sensitive liquid composition prepared by the aforementioned method, in an amount sufficient to produce a substantially uniform film thickness of the photoresist composition across the film surface.

摘要:
A composition that comprises a photopolymerizable compound containing at least two pendant unsaturated groups; at least one ethylenically unsaturated photopolymerizable polyalkylene oxide hydrophilic monomer; at least one nonionic surfactant; and at least one photoinitiator is provided. The composition also preferably contains at least one amine modified acrylic oligomer and a dye. Other conventional photoresist components such as photosensitizers, adhesion promoters, leveling agents and solvents may also be included in the composition. Such compositions are useful for forming a pattern on a substrate, such as patterning microlithographic circuits on a substrate.
