    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: Improved anti-reflective coating compositions for use in integrated circuit manufacturing processes and methods of forming these compositions are provided. Broadly, the compositions are formed by heating a solution comprising a compound including specific compounds (e.g., alkoxy alkyl melamines, alkoxy alkyl benzoguanamines) under acidic conditions so as to polymerize the compounds and form polymers having an average molecular weight of at least about 1,000 Daltons. The monomers of the resulting polymers are joined to one another via linkage groups (e.g., -CH2-, -CH2-O-CH2-) which are bonded to nitrogen atoms on the respective monomers. The polymerized compound is mixed with a solvent and applied to a substrate surface after which it is baked to form an anti-reflective layer. The resulting layer has high k values, improved etch rates, and can be formulated for both conformal and planar applications.
