An inkjet printing apparatus which performs time-divisional driving poses the following problem when halftoning control by the unit matrix is performed for at least some gray levels. More specifically, the shape of a dot cluster in each unit matrix periodically changes owing to the mismatch between the unit matrix size and the unit section size of time-divisional driving. The periodical change stands out as periodical density unevenness to the eye, degrading the image quality. In order to solve this problem, according to this invention, the unit matrix size and the unit section size of time-divisional driving are determined so that unit matrices have the same shape. More specifically, the unit section size of time-divisional driving and the unit matrix size in the nozzle array direction are set to (unit section size of time-divisional driving)×n=(unit matrix size in nozzle array direction) (n is a natural number). This setting prevents periodical generation of density unevenness and achieves high image quality.

This invention relates to an antireflective layer (ARL) which has both good absorption capability and low reflectivity at the photoresist/ARL interface. The ARL also significantly reduces CD variation in exposed photoresist film. The ARL of the present invention comprises an organic base resin having fine carbon particles dispersed therein. The combination of the organic base resin and fine carbon particles provide both good absorption and low reflectivity. The present invention is also related to a process of forming a semiconductor by applying an antireflection layer to the surface of a substrate, forming a photoresist layer on the antireflection layer, and selectively exposing the substrate to ultraviolet light, wherein the antireflective layer is an organic resin having carbon particles dispersed therein.
