Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for forming a sacrificial during a novel process sequence of lithography and photoresist patterning are provided. In one embodiment, a method of processing a substrate having a resist material and an anti-reflective coating material thereon includes depositing an organic polymer layer over the surface of the substrate inside a process chamber using a CVD technique. The CVD technique includes flowing a monomer into a processing region of the process chamber, flowing an initiator into the processing region through one or more filament wires heated to a temperature between about 200° C. and about 450° C., and forming the organic polymer layer. In addition, the organic polymer layer is ashable and can be removed from the surface of the substrate when the resist material is removed from the surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a vapor phase organic polymer film deposited using a CVD process at low temperature during a process sequence for wafer-level chip scale packaging (WL-CSP), including system-in package (SiP), Package-on-Package (PoP) and Package-in-Package (PiP).
