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.

Abstract: A method of forming a resist pattern in a semiconductor device layer includes forming a buffer layer on a semiconductor device layer and forming a resist layer on the buffer layer. A decomposing agent is released into a portion of the buffer layer by a portion of the resist layer whereupon the portion of the buffer layer and the portion of the resist layer are removed to form a process window substantially free of resist residue that can be subsequently exploited for etching of the semiconductor device layer.

Abstract: An integrated circuit capable of operating despite a profile shift is disclosed. Overlay marks on the integrated circuit are surrounded by a trench that tends to relieve the effect of a profile shift caused by stress applied to the integrated circuit. The position of the overlay marks tends, therefore, not to be affected by the stress.

Abstract: An ESD-resistant photomask and method of preventing mask ESD damage is disclosed. The ESD-resistant photomask includes a mask substrate, a pattern-forming material provided on the substrate, a circuit pattern defined by exposure regions etched in the pattern-forming material, and positive or negative ions implanted into the mask substrate throughout ion implantation regions. The ions in the ion implantation regions dissipate electrostatic charges on the mask, thus preventing the buildup of electrostatic charges which could otherwise attract image-distorting particles to the mask or damage the mask.
