摘要:
The present invention relates to a fluorine-free photoacid generator (PAG) and a photoresist composition containing the same. The PAG is characterized by the presence of an onium cationic component and a fluorine-free fused ring heteroaromatic sulfonate anionic component containing one or more electron withdrawing substituents. The onium cationic component of the PAG is preferably a sulfonium or an iodonium cation. The photoresist composition further contains an acid sensitive imaging polymer. The photoresist composition is especially useful for forming material patterns on a semiconductor substrate using 193 nm (ArF) lithography.

A curable liquid formulation containing at least (i) one or more near-infrared absorbing triphenylamine-based dyes, and (ii) one or more casting solvents. The invention is also directed to solid near-infrared absorbing films composed of crosslinked forms of the curable liquid formulation. The invention is also directed to a microelectronic substrate containing a coating of the solid near-infrared absorbing film as well as a method for patterning a photoresist layer coated on a microelectronic substrate in the case where the near-infrared absorbing film is between the microelectronic substrate and a photoresist film.

A method. The method forms a film of photoresist composition on a substrate and exposes a first and second region of the film to radiation through a first and second mask having a first and second image pattern, respectively. The photoresist composition includes a polymer including labile group(s), base soluble group(s), a photosensitive acid generator, and a photosensitive base generator. The photosensitive acid generator generates first and second amounts of acid upon exposure to first and second doses of radiation, respectively. The second amount of acid exceeds the first amount of acid. The second dose of radiation exceeds the first dose of radiation. The photosensitive base generator generates a first and second amount of base upon exposure to the first and second dose of radiation, respectively. The first amount of base exceeds the first amount of acid. The second amount of acid exceeds the second amount of base.

摘要:
Compositions characterized by the presence of an aqueous base-soluble polymer having aromatic moieties and a refractive index value n of less than 1.5 with respect to a radiation wavelength of 193 nm have been found which are especially useful as top antireflective coatings in 193 nm dry lithographic processes. Polymers with an ethylenic backbone and having fluorine and sulfonic acid moieties have been found to be especially useful. The compositions enable top reflection control at 193 nm while providing ease of use by virtue of their solubility in aqueous alkaline developer solutions.

摘要:
A negative photoresist composition and a method of patterning a substrate through use of the negative photoresist composition. The composition includes: a radiation sensitive acid generator; a hydroxy-containing additive; and a resist polymer derived from at least one first monomer. The resist polymer may be further derived from a second monomer having an aqueous base soluble moiety. The hydroxy-containing additive has the structure of Q—OH, where Q may include one or more cyclic structures. Q—OH may have a primary alcohol structure. The acid generator is adapted to generate an acid upon exposure to radiation. The resist polymer is adapted to chemically react with the additive in the presence of the acid to generate a non-crosslinking reaction product that is insoluble in an aqueous alkaline developer solution.
