    摘要: Provided is a photoresist that includes a polymer having a backbone that is breakable and a photo acid generator that is free of bonding from the polymer. Further, provided is a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The method includes providing a device substrate. A material layer is formed over the substrate. A photoresist material is formed over the material layer. The photoresist material has a polymer that includes a backbone. The photoresist material is patterned to form a patterned photoresist layer. A fabrication process is then performed to the material layer, wherein the patterned photoresist layer serves as a mask in the fabrication process. Thereafter, the patterned photoresist layer is treated in a manner that breaks the backbone of the polymer. The patterned photoresist layer is then removed.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a photoresist and a method of performing a lithography process using the photoresist. The photoresist contains a polymer and a photo-acid generator. The photo-acid generator contains a sensitizer component, an acid generator component, and a bonding component that bonds the sensitizer component to the acid generator component. The bonding component may be either a single bond or a conjugated bond. The lithography process may be an EUV lithography process or an e-beam lithography process.

    摘要: One of the broader forms of the present disclosure relates to a method of making a semiconductor device. The method includes exposing a photoresist layer to a radiation source and applying a hardening agent to the photoresist layer. Therefore after applying the hardening agent a first portion of the photoresist layer has a higher glass transition temperature, higher mechanical strength, than a second portion of the photoresist layer.

    摘要: An improved resist material and a technique for patterning a workpiece such as an integrated circuit workpiece that offers improved resistance to environmental contaminants is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving a workpiece and applying to the workpiece a resist material containing a protectant disbursed throughout. A thermal process is performed on the workpiece that causes the protectant to become concentrated in an upper region of the resist material. The resist material is exposed in a lithographic process and the exposed resist material is developed to define a pattern within the resist material. In some such examples, the protectant is selected to reduce an effect of an environmental contaminant without affecting an acid/base ratio of the resist material. In some such embodiments, the protectant includes a hydrophobic functional group.
