    摘要: A method of forming a resist pattern in a semiconductor device layer includes forming a buffer layer on a semiconductor device layer and forming a resist layer on the buffer layer. A decomposing agent is released into a portion of the buffer layer by a portion of the resist layer whereupon the portion of the buffer layer and the portion of the resist layer are removed to form a process window substantially free of resist residue that can be subsequently exploited for etching of the semiconductor device layer.

    摘要: Contrast enhancing exposure apparatus and method for use in semiconductor fabrication are described. In one embodiment, a method for forming a pattern on a substrate, wherein the substrate includes a photoresist layer comprising photoacid generators (“PAGs”) and photobase generators (“PBGs”), is described. The method includes dividing the pattern into two component patterns; exposing the photoresist layer of the substrate to UV light through a first mask corresponding to a first one of the component patterns; subsequent to the exposing the photoresist layer of the substrate to UV light through the first mask, exposing the photoresist layer of the substrate to UV light through a second mask corresponding to a second one of the component patterns, wherein the PAGs and PBGs disposed in areas of the photoresist layer that have been exposed to UV light at least twice are activated and wherein the activated PAGs neutralize the activated PBGs in areas of the photoresist layer that have been exposed to UV light at least twice.
