Abstract:
The present invention provides an additive for a photoresist composition for a resist flow process. A compound of following Formula 1 having low glass transition temperature is added to a photoresist composition containing a polymer which is not suitable for the resist flow process due to its high glass transition temperature, thus improving a flow property of the photoresist composition. As a result, the photoresist composition comprising an additive of Formula 1 can be used for the resist flow process. wherein, A, B, R and R′ are as defined in the specification of the invention.

More particularly, a process of forming vertical patterns using an organic bottom anti-reflective coating containing excessive amount of acid generator, in order to prevent formation of sloping patterns due to photoresist resins absorbing wavelength of light used as light sources during lithography process using light sources such as KrF, ArF, VUV, EUV, E-beam and ion beam, even when photoresist resins having high absorbance to light source are used.
Abstract:
Cleaning solutions for removing photoresist resins remaining on the underlying layer patterns formed by photolithography process using the photoresist patterns as etching mask. The cleaning solution for removing photoresist comprises H2O as solvent, amine compounds, hydrazine hydrate, transition metal-removing material and alkali metal-removing material. Photoresist coated on the top portion of underlying layers can be rapidly and effectively removed by the disclosed cleaning solution. In addition, the cleaning solution is environment-friendly because H2O is used as the solvent, and has little effect on metal layers when underlying layers are formed of metals.
