摘要:
A replenisher composition developing exposed radiation-sensitive printing plate precursors for plate/developer systems in which the electrical conductivity of the developer does not decrease to the same extend as the activity of the developer decreases or even increases is disclosed. A method for developing exposed radiation-sensitive printing plates using the replenisher composition is also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a method for producing a predetermined resist pattern on a substrate. The method includes the patternwise application of infrared radiation to a precursor which contains the substrate, having a coating thereon, wherein the coating contains a positive working composition; and the development of the pattern using a developer. The composition contains a polymeric substance having functional groups Q thereon, such that the functionalized polymeric substance has the property that it is developer insoluble prior to delivery of infrared radiation and developer soluble thereafter.

An alkaline liquid developer suitable for development of an infrared radiation-presensitized plate for use in making a lithographic printing plate, which developer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactants and cationic surfactants; a method for preparing a lithographic printing plate comprising the steps of imagewise light-exposing to infrared radiation, a presensitized plate for use in making a lithographic printing plate, said presensitized plate having an image-forming layer which comprises an IR-absorbing agent, and developing the light-exposed plate with an alkaline liquid developer comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactants and cationic surfactants. The alkaline liquid develper can provide a highly sharp and clear image in a lithographic printing plate without damages to the image areas, simultaneously exhibiting highly development performance to the non-image areas. The alkaline liquid developer of the present invention further inhibits occurrence of insoluble matter originated from a binder resin and/or an IR-absorbing agent, as well as adherence of the insoluble matter to the surface of a plate during processing, while retaining liquid conditions suitable for an alkaline liquid developer, and being capable of providing a stable processing procedure in an extended period.

A method for forming a protection device with slope laterals is provided. Firstly, providing a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of alternative first sacrificial layers and second sacrificial layers formed thereon. A first etching step is performed to remove one portion of each of the first sacrificial layers and thereby expose one portion of each lateral of each of the second sacrificial layers. Subsequently, performing a second etching step to remove one portion of the lateral of the second sacrificial layer. Then, repeatedly and alternately performing the first etching step and the second etching step until completely removing the first sacrificial layers and then obtaining a plurality of protection devices formed of the second sacrificial layers each of which having slope laterals.

A TMAH developer is applied to a to-be-processed substrate that has an organic resist film formed thereon and having an LSI pattern created by exposure, thereby developing the resist pattern, followed by rinsing processes in which, while the substrate is being rotated at 500 rpm, ozone water containing 3-ppm ozone gas is applied to the substrate for fifteen seconds, thereby decomposing organic matter sticking to the exposed surface of the substrate, and then hydrogen water containing 1.2-ppm hydrogen gas is applied to the substrate for fifteen seconds, with the substrate rotated at 500 rpm, thereby removing the decomposed organic matter from the substrate.

A method for forming within a deep ultraviolet (DUV) sensitive photosensitive layer formed upon a substrate employed within a microelectronics fabrication a pattern with attenuated defects and improved strippability. There is provided a substrate employed within a microelectronics fabrication. There is then formed over the substrate a photosensitive layer formed of an organic polymer resin plus additives which is sensitive to deep ultraviolet (DUV) irradiation. There is then formed within the photosensitive layer a patterned latent image by selective irradiation with a deep ultraviolet (DUV) source. There is then developed the latent image by successive treatment of the photosensitive layer to a first developer agent at a first concentration and a second developer agent at a second concentration, interspersed with aqueous solvent rinses, to form a patterned photoresist layer with attenuated residues. The patterned photosensitive layer is then formed into a patterned photoresist mask layer by drying and hard baking, with attenuated defects and improved strippability.
