Abstract: Various lithography methods are disclosed herein. In an example, a method includes forming a resist layer over a substrate; forming a coating material layer that includes one of an acid and a chelate compound over the resist layer; and exposing the resist layer and the coating material layer to radiation, wherein during the exposing, the one of the acid and the chelate compound in the coating material layer substantially neutralizes any quencher that diffuses into the coating material layer from the resist layer.

Abstract: In a photolithography process, a photoresist layer is formed on a substrate. A photomask is aligned over the substrate to transfer pattern images defined in the photomask on the substrate. The photomask includes first and second patterns of different light transmission rates, and a dummy pattern surrounding the second pattern having a light transmission rate lower than that of the first pattern. The substrate is exposed to a light radiation through the photomask. The photoresist layer then is developed to form the pattern images. The dummy pattern is dimensionally configured to allow light transmission, but in a substantially amount so that the dummy pattern is not imaged during exposure.

Abstract: A method for forming an etch-resistant photoresist pattern on a semiconductor substrate is provided. In one embodiment, a photoresist layer is formed on the substrate. The photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a photoresist pattern. A polymer-containing layer is formed over the photoresist pattern. The photoresist pattern and the polymer-containing layer are thermally treated so that polymer is substantially diffused into the photoresist pattern thereby enhancing the etch resistance of the photoresist pattern. The polymer-containing layer is thereafter removed.
