    Abstract: Anti-reflective compositions and methods of using these compositions to form circuits are provided. The compositions comprise a polymer dissolved or dispersed in a solvent system. In a preferred embodiment, the polymers include a light-attenuating moiety having a structure selected from the group consisting of:where:each of X and Y is individually selected from the group consisting of electron withdrawing groups;R is selected from the group consisting of alkyls and aryls; andR is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyls.The resulting compositions are spin bowl compatible (i.e., they do not crosslink prior to the bake stages of the microlithographic processes or during storage at room temperature), are wet developable, and have superior optical properties.

    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: An improved method for applying organic antireflective coatings to substrate surfaces and the resulting precursor structures are provided. Broadly, the methods comprise chemical vapor depositing (CVD) an antireflective compound on the substrate surface. In one embodiment, the compound is highly strained (e.g., having a strain energy of at least about 10 kcal/mol) and comprises t wo cyclic moieties joined to one another via a linkage group. The most preferre d monomers are [2.2](1,4)-naphthalenophane and [2.2](9,10)-anthracenophane. Th e CVD processes comprise heating the antireflective compound so as to vaporize it, and then pyrolizing the vaporized compound to form stable diradicals whi ch are subsequently polymerized on a substrate surface in a deposition chamber. The inventive methods are useful for providing highly conformal antireflecti ve coatings on large substrate surfaces having super submicron (0.25.mu.m or smaller) features.
