    摘要: The present invention relates to planarization materials and methods of using the same for substrate planarization in photolithography. A planarization layer of a planarization composition is formed on a substrate. The planarization composition contains at least one aromatic monomer and at least one non-aromatic monomer. A substantially flat surface is brought into contact with the planarization layer. The planarization layer is cured by exposing to a first radiation or by baking The substantially flat surface is then removed. A photoresist layer is formed on the planarization layer. The photoresist layer is exposed to a second radiation followed by development to form a relief image in the photoresist layer. The relief image is then transferred into the substrate.

    摘要: Methods for applying topographically compensated film in a semiconductor wafer fabrication process are disclosed. The processes include premapping a surface of a wafer so as to determine the local topography (e.g., z-height) of the wafer and then applying a variable depth of a film to the wafer, such that the variable depth is modulated based on the local topography of the wafer. The resultant topography of the applied film and wafer is substantially planar (e.g., within approximately 100 nm) across the wafer.
