Abstract:
Thermally cured undercoat for use in lithography of a thermally cured composition comprising a hydroxyl-containing polymer, an amino cross-linking agent and a thermal acid generator, wherein the hydroxyl containing polymer is a polymer comprising units m, n and o of the following formula: 1 wherein R1 is H or methyl; R2 is a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C14 aryl acrylate or C6-C14 aryl methacrylate group wherein the substituted groups may be phenyl, C1-4 alkyl or C1-4 alkoxy; R3 is a hydroxyl functionalized C1-C8 alkyl acrylate, methacrylate or c6-C14 aryl group, R4 is a C1-C10 linear or branched alkylene; p is an integer of from 1 to 5 with the proviso that there are no more than thirty carbon atoms in the nullnullR4Onullnullp; R5 is a C1-C10 linear, branched or cyclic alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C6-C14 aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted C7-C15 alicyclic hydrocarbon; and m is about 40 to 70, n is about 15 to 35 and o is about 15 to 25.
Abstract:
Novel copolymers suitable for forming the top layer photoimagable coating in a deep UV, particularly a 193 nm and 248 nm, bilayer resist system providing high resolution photolithography. Chemically amplified photoresist composition and organosilicon moieties suitable for use in the binder resin for photoimagable etching resistant photoresist composition that is suitable as a material for use in ArF and KrF photolithography using the novel copolymers.
