Abstract:
Materials for dielectrics and/or buffer layers in microelectronics utilize polymers can be based on bis-o-nitrophenols. The bis-o-nitrophenols carry a tert-butoxycarbonyl group on at least one of the hydroxyl groups. The polybenzoxazoles prepared from these compounds have a lower dielectric constant than corresponding polymers which are prepared from bis-o-nitrophenols that do not have a tert-butoxycarbonyl group.
Abstract:
The present invention describes the use of polybenzoxazoles (PBOs) for adhesively bonding articles or materials, especially components used in the semiconductor industry, such as chips and wafers, a process for adhesively bonding materials, especially chips and wafers, chip and/or wafer stacks produced by the process, and adhesive compositions which comprise the polybenzoxazoles of the formula (I).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for wiring electrical contact sites, in particular on the surface of an electronic or microelectronic component, with the following steps: applying and patterning at least one dielectric on the component surface; currentlessly depositing a conductor starting layer for producing metal wiring interconnects and substitute contact sites with short-circuit contacts for interconnecting the individual metal wiring interconnects and the corresponding electrical contact sites; reinforcing the conductor starting layer by a common electrodepositing process; and separating the short-circuit contacts for separating the electrical contact sites or the contact sites of the wiring from one another.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for integrating air as dielectric in semiconductor devices, comprising the steps of: a. applying a layer of a dielectric (2) which is to be patterned to a substrate (1); b. patterning the dielectric layer (2) which has been applied; c. applying a conductor metal (3) for the patterned dielectric layer (2) and forming a common surface from the conductor metal (3) and the dielectric (2); d. applying a layer of an organic dielectric (4) to the layer produced in step c.; and e. bringing the coated substrate produced in this way into contact with a fluorine-containing compound in order to form an arrangement which has air as dielectric between conductor structures and has a continuous dielectric layer (4) on the top side, and to a semiconductor device with air layers as dielectric produced using this process.

Abstract:
A dry-developable, positively acting TSI resist contains the following components: a suitable solvent, a strong acid former as the photoactive component, and a base polymer in the form of a copolymer or terpolymer with maleic acid anhydride as a basic unit and glycidyl methacrylate and/or a styrene derivative as a further basic unit, and possibly an additive.
Abstract:
Methods for producing solutions of polybenzoxazol precursors that are soluble in alkali and resist solutions based on such precursors. A dicarboxylic acid halogenide is reacted with a bis-(o-aminophenol) in an organic solvent and in the presence of a polymer with a tertiary N atom, which is insoluble in the solvent. Excess polymer and hydrohalogenide are separated from the reaction solution. The reaction solution is optionally mixed with a photoactive component.
Abstract:
A process for producing structures in the submicron range is characterized by the following steps:a photoresist layer comprising a polymer constituent with functional groups, which are capable of reacting with primary or secondary amines, and N-blocked imide groups, a photoinitiator which releases an acid when irradiated and a suitable solvent is deposited on to a substrate;the photoresist layer is dried;the photoresist layer is exposed in an imagewise manner;the exposed photoresist layer is subjected to a temperature treatment;the photoresist layer treated in this manner is developed with an aqueous-alkaline or organic developing agent into a photoresist structure; andthe photoresist structure is treated with a chemical agent containing a primary or secondary amine; a defined dark field loss, is adjusted thereby during development in the range of between 20 and 100 nm.
