    Abstract: An improved method for applying polymeric antireflective coatings to substrate surfaces and the resulting precursor structures are provided. Broadly, the methods comprise plasma enhanced chemical vapor depositing (PECVD) a polymer on the substrate surfaces. The most preferred starting monomers are 4-fluorostyrene, 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene, and allylpentafluorobenzene. The PECVD processes comprise subjecting the monomers to sufficient electric current and pressure so as to cause the monomers to sublime to form a vapor which is then changed to the plasma state by application of an electric current. The vaporized monomers are subsequently polymerized onto a substrate surface in a deposition chamber. The inventive methods are useful for providing highly conformal antireflective coatings on large surface substrates having super submicron (0.25 mum or smaller) features. The process provides a much faster deposition rate than conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods, is environmentally friendly, and is economical.

    Abstract: Nonstick molds (16) and method of forming and using such molds are provided. The molds are formed of a nonstick material such as those selected from the group consisting of fluoropolymers, fluorinated siloxane polymers, silicones, and mixtures thereof. The nonstick mold is imprinted with a negative image of a master mold, where the master mold is designed to have a topography pattern corresponding to that desired surface on the surface of a microelectronic substrate. The nonstick mold (16) is then used to transfer the pattern or image (18) to a flowable film (20) on the substrate (22) surface. This film is subsequently cured or hardened, resulting in the desired pattern (26) ready for further processing.
