Abstract:
A topcoat material for applying on top of a photoresist material is disclosed. The topcoat material comprises at least one solvent and a polymer which has a dissolution rate of at least 3000 A/second in aqueous alkaline developer. The polymer contains a hexafluoroalcohol monomer unit comprising one of the following two structures: (I) wherein n is an integer. The topcoat material may be used in lithography processes, wherein the topcoat material is applied on a photoresist layer. The topcoat material is 10 preferably insoluble in water, and is therefore particularly useful in immersion lithography techniques using water as the imaging medium.
Abstract:
A photoresist composition including a polymer, a photoacid generator and a dissolution modification agent, a method of forming an image using the photoresist composition and the dissolution modification agent composition. The dissolution modification agent is insoluble in aqueous alkaline developer and inhibits dissolution of the polymer in the developer until acid is generated by the photoacid generator being exposed to actinic radiation, whereupon the dissolution modifying agent, at a suitable temperature, becomes soluble in the developer and allows the polymer to dissolve in the developer. The DMAs are glucosides, cholates, citrates and adamantanedicarboxylates protected with acid-labile ethoxyethyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, and angelicalactonyl groups.

Abstract:
Fotolack-Zusammensetzungen umfassen ein Gemisch eines Phenolpolymers mit einem Copolymer auf (Meth)acrylatbasis, das frei ist von Ether-enthaltenden und/oder Carbonsäure-enthaltenden Einheiten. Das (Meth)acrylat-Copolymer umfasst ein erstes Monomer, ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus einem Alkylacrylat, einem substituierten Alkylacrylat, einem Alkyl(meth)acrylat, einem substituierten Alkylmethacrylat und Gemischen davon, und ein zweites Monomer, ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus einem Acrylat, einem (Meth)acrylat oder einem Gemisch davon mit einem säurespaltbaren Estersubstituenten; und einen Fotosäuregenerator. Es werden auch Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Fotolack-Bilds auf einem Substrat mit der Fotolack-Zusammensetzung offenbart.
Abstract:
Coating compositions include a polymer including (I) wherein R1 is a silicon containing moiety, R2 is an acid stable lactone functionality, and R3 is an acid labile lactone functionality; X1, X2, X3 are independently H or CH3; and m and o are non-zero positive integers and n is zero or a positive integer representing the number of repeat units; a photoacid generator; and a solvent. Also disclosed are methods for forming a pattern in the coating composition containing the same.
Abstract:
A dissolution modification agent suitable for use in a photoresist composition including a polymer, a photoacid generator and casting solvent. The dissolution modification agent is insoluble in aqueous alkaline developer and inhibits dissolution of the polymer in the developer until acid is generated by the photoacid generator being exposed to actinic radiation, whereupon the dissolution modifying agent, at a suitable temperature, becomes soluble in the developer and allows the polymer to dissolve in the developer. The DMAs are glucosides, cholates, citrates and adamantanedicarboxylates protected with acid-labile ethoxyethyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, and angelicalactonyl groups.
