Abstract:
The use of surfactants A, the 1% by weight aqueous solutions of which exhibit a static surface tension 3; and a photolithographic process making use of the surfactants A in immersion photoresist layers, photoresist layers exposed to actinic radiation, developer solutions for the exposed photoresist layers and/or in chemical rinse solutions for developed patterned photoresists comprising patterns having line-space dimensions below 50 nm and aspect ratios >3. By way of the surfactants A, pattern collapse is prevented, line edge roughness is reduced, watermark defects are prevented and removed and defects are reduced by removing particles.
