摘要:
A method is provided for creating multilayer patterned films wherein at least one layer is an etch-resistant patterned layer, and wherein either positive or negative tone patterns can be obtained.The etch-resistant patterned layer is obtained by reacting a patterned polymeric film containing reactive functional groups with an organometallic reagent such as a silicon-containing compound. The pattern is subsequently transferred through adjacent polymeric layers using an oxygen plasma or equivalent dry-etch method.
摘要:
A positive tone photoresist is obtained without a solvent development step. The resist is a polymer containing masked reactive functionality which is imagewise exposed to unmask the functionality then treated with a non-organometallic reagent to remask that functionality. Following flood exposure, the resist is treated with an organometallic reagent containing an element which forms a non-volatile oxide. It is then developed by means of oxygen reactive ion etching.
摘要:
A negative tone resist image is achieved by (1) coating a substrate with a film of a polymer containing a masked, reactive functionality; (2) imagewise exposing the film to radiation in a fashion such that the masked functionality is liberated; (3) contacting the film with an organometallic reagent; (4) developing the relief image by the oxygen plasma etching.

Dry developable top surface imageable photoresist compositions which comprise, in admixture, a film-forming aromatic polymer resin activated to electrophilic substitution, an acid catalyzable agent capable of being inserted into the aromatic polymer resin, and a radiation degradable acid generating compound and processes for generating positive tone resist images on substrates therewith.
摘要:
The present invention is concerned with methods of converting a single resist layer into a multilayered resist.The upper portion of the single resist layer can be converted into a dry-etch resistant form. The conversion can be a blanket conversion of the upper portion of the resist layer or can be a patterned conversion of areas within the upper portion of the layer. A patternwise-converted resist can be oxygen plasma developed.The upper portion of the single resist layer can be patternwise converted into a chemically different composition or structure having altered absorptivity toward radiation. The difference in radiation absorptivity within the patterned upper portion of the resist enables subsequent use of blanket irradiation of the resist surface to create differences in chemical solubility between areas having the altered absorptivity toward radiation and non-altered areas. The difference in chemical solubility enables wet development of the patterned resist.

The present invention relates to an improved lithographic photoresist composition comprising a photosensitive base generator. The composition is useful in the manufacture of integrated circuits.
摘要:
The reactive ion etching and thermal flow resistance of a resist image is enhanced by contacting the resist image with an alkyl metal compound of magnesium or aluminum.
摘要:
Resists sensitive to UV, electron beam and X-ray radiation with positive or negative tone upon proper choice of a developer are formulated from a polymer having recurrent pendant groups such as tert-butyl ester or tert-butyl carbonates that undergo efficient acidolysis with concomitant changes in polarity (solubility) together with a photoinitiator which generates acid upon radiolysis. A sensitizer component that alters wavelength sensitivity may also be added.
