Abstract: A rinse process is described for processing an initially patterned structure formed with an organometallic radiation sensitive material, in which the rinse process can remove portions of the composition remaining after pattern development to make the patterned structure more uniform such that a greater fraction of patterned structures can meet specifications. The radiation sensitive material can comprise alkyl tin oxide hydroxide compositions. The rinsing process can be effectively used to improve patterning of fine structures using extreme ultraviolet light.

Abstract: The processing of radiation patternable organometallic coatings is shown to be improved through the appropriate selection of post processing conditions between coating and development of the pattern. In particular, a coated wafer can be subjected to process delays to allow aging of the coating at various process points, in particular following irradiation. Process delays can be combined and interspersed with heating steps. The atmosphere above the coated wafer at various process steps can be adjusted to obtain desired improvements in the development of the pattern. Reactive gases can be beneficial with respect to improvement of coating properties.

Abstract: In the context of forming radiation patternable structures especially for EUV patterning, wafer structures are described comprising a substrate having a smooth top surface and a radiation sensitive organometallic coating having an average thickness of no more than 100 nm and no more than about 1 defect per square centimeter with a defect size of greater than 48 nm, evaluated with a 3 mm edge exclusion. Corresponding methods for forming a low defect coating comprise spin coating a purified radiation sensitive organometallic resist solution onto a wafer using a spin coater system comprising a delivery line and a delivery nozzle connected to the delivery line to form a coated wafer, and drying the coated wafer to form a radiation sensitive organometallic coating having no more than about 1 defect per square centimeter with a defect size of greater than 48 nm, evaluated with a 3 mm edge exclusion. Methods are provided for improved filtering for particle removal from radiation patternable organometallic resist compositions.

Abstract: Multiple patterning approaches using radiation sensitive organometallic materials is described. In particular, multiple patterning approaches can be used to provide distinct multiple patterns of organometallic material on a hardmask or other substrate through a sequential approach that leads to a final pattern. The multiple patterning approach may proceed via sequential lithography steps with multiple organometallic layers and may involve a hardbake freezing after development of each pattern. Use of an organometallic resist with dual tone properties to perform pattern cutting and multiple patterning of a single organometallic layer are described. Corresponding structures are also described.
