摘要:
A method for forming a self aligned pattern on an existing pattern on a substrate comprising applying a coating of the masking material to the substrate; and allowing at least a portion of the masking material to preferentially attach to portions of the existing pattern. The pattern is comprised of a first set of regions of the substrate having a first atomic composition and a second set of regions of the substrate having a second atomic composition different from the first composition. The first set of regions may include one or more metal elements and the second set of regions may include a dielectric. The masking material may comprise a polymer containing a reactive grafting site that selectively binds to the portions of the pattern. The masking material may include a polymer that binds to the portions of the pattern to provide a layer of functional groups suitable for polymerization initiation, a reactive molecule having functional groups suitable for polymerization propagation, or a reactive molecule, wherein reaction of the reactive molecule with the portion of the pattern generates a layer having reactive groups, which participate in step growth polymerization. Structures in accordance with the method. Compositions for practicing the method.

A method for forming a self aligned pattern on an existing pattern on a substrate comprising applying a coating of a solution containing a masking material in a carrier, the masking material having an affinity for portions of the existing pattern; and allowing at least a portion of the masking material to preferentially assemble to the portions of the existing pattern. The pattern may be comprised of a first set of regions of the substrate having a first atomic composition and a second set of regions of the substrate having a second atomic composition different from the first composition. The first set of regions may include one or more metal elements and the second set of regions may include a dielectric. The first and second regions may be treated to have different surface properties. Structures made in accordance with the method. Compositions useful for practicing the method.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a low k, ultra-low k, and extreme-low k multilayer interconnect structure on a substrate in which the interconnect line features are separated laterally by a dielectric with vertically oriented nano-scale voids formed by perforating it using sub-optical lithography patterning and etching techniques and closing off the tops of the perforations by a dielectric deposition step. The lines are supported either by solid or patterned dielectric features underneath. The method avoids the issues associated with the formation of air gaps after the fabrication of conductor patterns and those associated with the integration of conventional low k, ultra-low k and extreme low k dielectrics which have porosity present before the formation of the interconnect patterns.
摘要:
A method of forming a self aligned pattern on an existing pattern on a substrate including applying a coating of a solution containing a masking material in a carrier, the masking material being either photo or thermally sensitive; performing a blanket exposure of the substrate; and allowing at least a portion of the masking material to preferentially develop in a fashion that replicates the existing pattern of the substrate. The existing pattern includes a first set of regions of the substrate having a first reflectivity and a second set of regions of the substrate having a second reflectivity different from the first composition. The first set of regions can include one or more metal elements and the second set of regions can include one or more dielectrics. Structures made in accordance with the method. A low resolution mask is used to block out regions over the substrate. Additionally, the resist can be applied over another masking layer that contains a separate pattern.
