摘要:
A near-infrared absorptive layer is formed from a composition comprising (A) an acenaphthylene polymer, (B) a near-infrared absorbing dye, and (C) a solvent. When a multilayer film comprising the near-infrared absorptive layer and a photoresist layer is used in optical lithography, the detection accuracy of optical auto-focusing is improved, allowing the optical lithography to produce a definite projection image with an improved contrast and succeeding in forming a better photoresist pattern.

A composition comprising a polymer comprising repeat units selected from formulae (1) to (4), an aromatic ring-containing polymer, a near-infrared absorbing dye, and a solvent is used to form a near-infrared absorptive film. R1, R7, R9, and R14 are H, methyl, fluorine or trifluoromethyl, R2 to R6 are H, F, trifluoromethyl, —C(CF3)2OR16, alkyl or alkoxy, at least one of R2 to R6 being F or a fluorinated group, R16, R8 and R13 are H or a monovalent organic group, L1 is a single bond or —C(═O)O—, m is 0 or 1, L2 is a di- or trivalent hydrocarbon group, n is 1 or 2, R10 to R12 are H, hydroxyl, halogen or a monovalent organic group, and R15 is a fluorinated C2-C15 hydrocarbon group.
摘要:
A composition comprising (A) a fluorinated polymer having k=0.01-0.4 and n=1.4-2.1 and (B) an aromatic ring-bearing polymer having k=0.3-1.2 is used to form an antireflective coating. The ARC-forming composition can be deposited by the same process as prior art ARCs. The resulting ARC is effective in preventing reflection of exposure light in photolithography and has an acceptable dry etching rate.

A polymer comprising recurring units having formulae (1), (2) and (3) is provided as well as a chemically amplified resist composition comprising the same. R1 is H, F, CH3 or CF3, Rf is H, F, CF3 or C2F5, A is an optionally fluorine or oxygen-substituted divalent organic group, R2, R3 and R4 are alkyl, alkenyl, oxoalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or aryloxoalkyl, or may form a ring with the sulfur atom, N=0-2, R8 is H or alkyl, B is a single bond or optionally oxygen-substituted divalent organic group, a=0-3, b=1-3, and X is an acid labile group. The polymer generates a strong sulfonic acid which provides for effective cleavage of acid labile groups in a chemically amplified resist composition.
摘要:
Lactone-containing compounds having formula (1) are novel wherein R1 is H, F, methyl or trifluoromethyl, R2 and R3 are monovalent hydrocarbon groups, or R2 and R3 may together form an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring, R4 is H or CO2R5, R5 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group, W is CH2, O or S, and k1 is 0 or 1. They are useful as monomers to produce polymers which are transparent to radiation≦500 nm. Radiation-sensitive resist compositions comprising the polymers as base resin exhibit excellent properties including resolution, pattern edge roughness, pattern density dependency and exposure margin.
摘要:
The invention provides an acetal compound containing an adamantane ring having an alcoholic hydroxyl group which is protected with an acetal group having a carbonyl moiety of branched structure. A photoresist film comprising a polymer comprising recurring units derived from the acetal compound and an acid generator is characterized by a high dissolution contrast when it is subjected to exposure and organic solvent development to form an image via positive/negative reversal.
摘要:
A polymer comprising recurring units of a sulfonium salt represented by formula (1) is provided as well as a chemically amplified resist composition comprising the same. R1 is H, F, methyl or trifluoromethyl, R2 to R4 are C1-C10 alkyl or alkoxy, R5 is C1-C30 alkyl or C6-C14 aryl, k, m and n are 0 to 3. The recurring units generate a sulfonic acid upon exposure to high-energy radiation so as to facilitate effective scission of acid labile groups in the resist composition. The resist composition exhibits excellent resolution and a pattern finish with minimal LER.
