摘要:
Acid-catalyzed positive resist compositions which are imageable with 193 nm radiation (and possibly other radiation) at low energy levels are obtained using a polymer having acrylate/methacrylate monomeric units comprising a low activation energy moiety preferably attached to a naphthalene ester group. The resist allows the performance benefit of acrylate/methacrylate polymers with low activation energy for imaging thereby enabling improved resolution and reduced post-exposure bake sensitivity. The resist polymer also preferably contains monomeric units comprising fluoroalcohol moiety and a monomeric units comprising a lactone moiety.
摘要:
Acid-catalyzed positive resist compositions which are imageable with 193 nm radiation are obtained using a polymer having acrylate/methacrylate monomeric units comprising a naphthol ester group. The resist may optionally contain polymer having acrylate/methacrylate monomeric units with fluorine-containing functional groups. The resists containing the polymer having acrylate/methacrylate monomeric units comprising a naphthol ester group have an improved process window, including improved etch resistance and reduced swelling compared to conventional fluorine-containing 193 nm resist.
摘要:
Compositions suitable for forming planarizing underlayers for multilayer lithographic processes are characterized by the presence of (A) a polymer containing: (i) cyclic ether moieties, (ii) saturated polycyclic moieties, and (iii) aromatic moieties for compositions not requiring a separate crosslinker, or (B) a polymer containing: (i) saturated polycyclic moieties, and (ii) aromatic moieties for compositions requiring a separate crosslinker. The compositions provide outstanding optical, mechanical and etch selectivity properties. The compositions are especially useful in lithographic processes using radiation less than 200 nm in wavelength to configure underlying material layers.

摘要:
A spin-on formulation that is useful in stripping an ion implanted photoresist is provided that includes an aqueous solution of a water soluble polymer containing at least one acidic functional group, and at least one lanthanide metal-containing oxidant. The spin-on formulation is applied to an ion implanted photoresist and baked to form a modified photoresist. The modified photoresist is soluble in aqueous, acid or organic solvents. As such one of the aforementioned solvents can be used to completely strip the ion implanted photoresist as well as any photoresist residue that may be present. A rinse step can follow the stripping of the modified photoresist.
