Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bump structure includes forming a passivation layer over a substrate. A metal pad structure is formed over the substrate, wherein the passivation layer surrounds the metal pad structure. A polyimide layer including a polyimide is formed over the passivation layer and the metal pad structure. A metal bump is formed over the metal pad structure and the polyimide layer. The polyimide is a reaction product of a dianhydride and a diamine, wherein at least one of the dianhydride and the diamine comprises one selected from the group consisting of a cycloalkane, a fused ring, a bicycloalkane, a tricycloalkane, a bicycloalkene, a tricycloalkene, a spiroalkane, and a heterocyclic ring.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first layer of a first planarizing material over a patterned surface of a substrate, forming a second layer of a second planarizing material over the first planarizing layer, crosslinking a portion of the first planarizing material and a portion of the second planarizing material, and removing a portion of the second planarizing material that is not crosslinked. In an embodiment, the method further includes forming a third layer of a third planarizing material over the second planarizing material after removing the portion of the second planarizing material that is not crosslinked. The third planarizing material can include a bottom anti-reflective coating or a spin-on carbon, and an acid or an acid generator. The first planarizing material can include a spin-on carbon, and an acid, a thermal acid generator or a photoacid generator.

Abstract: A method of forming a masking element is provided. The method includes forming a photoresist material having a polymer backbone over a substrate, where the polymer backbone includes a linking group that links a first polymer segment to a second polymer segment, each of the first and the second polymer segments having an ultraviolet (UV) curable group. The method includes exposing the photoresist material under a first UV radiation to break the link between the first polymer segment and the second polymer segment. The method includes exposing the photoresist material under a second UV radiation different from the first UV radiation to form a patterned resist layer. And the method includes developing the patterned resist layer to form a masking element.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a patterning process. A photoresist layer is patterned. At least portions of the photoresist layer are converted from an organic material to an inorganic material by a deposition process of a metal oxide. All or some of the patterned photoresist layer may be converted to a carbon-metal-oxide. A metal oxide crust may be formed over the patterned photoresist layer. After conversion, the patterned photoresist layer is used as an etch mask to etch an underlying layer.

Abstract: One of the broader forms of the present disclosure relates to a method of making a semiconductor device. The method includes exposing a photoresist layer to a radiation source and applying a hardening agent to the photoresist layer. Therefore after applying the hardening agent a first portion of the photoresist layer has a higher glass transition temperature, higher mechanical strength, than a second portion of the photoresist layer.
