Abstract:
A process for imaging a photoresist comprising the steps of, a) forming a stack of multiple layers of organic antireflective coatings on a substrate; b) forming a coating of a photoresist over the upper layer of the stack of multiple layers of organic antireflective coatings; c) imagewise exposing the photoresist with an exposure equipment; and, d) developing the coating with a developer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for a process of treating organic solvents that are useful in the semiconductor industry by contacting the organic solvent with an anion exchange resin to remove anion contaminants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for imaging , preferably deep ultraviolet (uv), photoresists with a topcoat using, preferably deep uv, immersion lithography. The invention further relates to a barrier coating composition comprising a polymer with at least one ionizable group having a pKa ranging from about -9 to about 11. The invention also relates to a process for imaging a photoresist with a (top) barrier coat to prevent contamination of the photoresist from environmental contaminants.
