New photosensitive polyimide compositions and processes of using the same in the fabrication of electronic components are provided. These compositions are comprised of ##STR1## containing polyamic acids and/or the corresponding hydroxy-polyamic esters, or hydroxypolyimides and a photoactive component as an additive or as covalently bonded functionality on the polymer chain. These compositions provide positive or negative patterning options and may be used as conventional resist materials, as imageable dielectric or passivating layers, as high Tg ion implant masks or as imageable lift-off layers in the fabrication of multilevel metal structures.
摘要:
A compliant thermally conductive, preferably dielectric, compound that enhances the power dissipation capability of high-powered electrical components such as bipolar VLSI semiconductor chips. The compound has chemically stable thermal conduction and viscosity properties; is not subject to phase separation during use and may be applied in small gaps to maximize thermal conduction. The compound preferably comprises a liquid carrier having thermal filler particles dispersed therein and a coupling agent having a functionality which is reactive with the calcined surface of the thermal filler particles, and a functionality having preferential wetting of the thermal filler particles over self-condensation. Additional additives such as fumed silica and polyisobutylene enhance the phase stability and resistance to thermo-mechanical shear force degradation of the thermally conductive compound encountered during functional usage, e.g., fluctuating power cycles.
摘要:
A photoresist composition comprised of a radiation scissionable polymeric system having organopolysiloxane segments sensitized by an onium salt is disclosed. Useful organopolysiloxane containing polymers include polysiloxane-polycarbonate block copolymers, and polyorganosiloxane polyaryl esters. The resist films produced from the photoresist compositions exhibit high sensitivity, high thermal stability and resistance to oxygen reactive ion etching which makes them desirable for dry etching processes to enable submicron resolution.
摘要:
Pinhole-free thin films deposited by glow discharge or plasma polymerization of organosilanes, organosilazones and organosiloxanes for use as reactive ion etch oxygen barriers in multilayer resist structures, of lift-off masks, for fabrication of semiconductor devices, such as integrated circuits. The process includes deposition of thin plasma polymerized organosilicon barrier film over a radiation insensitive polymeric base layer previously coated on a substrate, followed by thermal annealing of the plasma polymerized barrier layer, over which is then coated a radiation sensitive resist layer. After definition of the desired resist pattern by imagewise exposure and development, the image is etch transferred into the barrier layer by reactive sputter etching in a fluorine containing ambient, and subsequently transferred into the base layer, down to the substrate, in an oxygen plasma, during which time the plasma deposited film functions as an oxygen barrier. Final metal patterns are formed by metallization and lift-off steps.

摘要:
A method is provided for forming a microlithographic relief image having a width of less than one half micron in a bilayer resist composition. The resist composition comprises a single component, silicon-containing photoimageable layer and a polymeric underlayer having a high optical density and a refractive index similar to the refractive index of the overlaying resist. The method provides for the formation of a relief image in the top layer using an i-line (365 nm) or deep ultra violet (170 to 300 nm) light source, followed by O.sub.2 RIE transfer of the relief image into the polymeric underlayer.
