Abstract: A method is described for stabilizing organometallic coating interfaces through the use of multilayer structures that incorporate an underlayer coating. The underlayer is composed of an organic polymer that has crosslinking and adhesion-promoting functional groups. The underlayer composition may include photoacid generators. Multilayer structures for patterning are described based on organometallic radiation sensitive patterning compositions, such as alkyl tin oxo hydroxo compositions, which are placed over a polymer underlayer.

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.

Abstract: Gas releasing compositions that can facilitate improved patterning of organometallic resists are described. The gas releasing compositions can release water, carbon dioxide, or alcohols in response to radiation or heating. A film-forming composition is composed of a flowable blend of a reactive gas releasing moiety, a matrix forming species, an organic solvent, and an optional activating agent. An underlayer composition is composed of a blend of a reactive gas releasing moiety, a polymer matrix and an optional activating additive. Multilayer structures are described based on organometallic radiation sensitive patterning compositions, such as alkyl tin oxo-hydroxo compositions, which are placed over a gas releasing underlayer formed on a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer. Methods for patterning multilayer structures are also described.

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: 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: Patterning of organometallic radiation sensitive compositions is facilitated using a gaseous form of a contrast enhancing agent, which can include a carboxylic acid, an amide, a sulfonic acid, an alcohol, a diol, a silyl halide, a germanium halide, a tin halide, an amine, a thiol, or a mixture thereof, in which the mixture can be of the same class or different class of compounds. Contact with the contrast enhancing reactive compound is provided after irradiation of the organometallic composition to form a latent image. The contrast enhancing agent can be delivered before or after physical pattern development, and processing with the contrast enhancing agent can involve removal in a thermal process of some or substantially all of the non-irradiated organometallic composition. The contrast enhancing agent can be used in a dry thermal development step. If the contrast enhancing agent is used after a distinct development step, use of the contrast enhancing agent can involve improvement of the pattern quality. Apparatuses for performing processing with contrast enhancing agents are described.
