Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polycyclic polymer and a polycyclic resist composition useful for a photoresist composition transparent to a short wavelength of image focusing irradiation, and having resistance in a dry etching method. SOLUTION: The present invention uses the resist composition comprising the polycyclic polymer containing repeated aromatic pendant groups along a polymer principal chain. The polymer exhibits a light transparent property with respect to a deep UV wavelength, and is useful for an application to a high resolution photolithography. The polymer is useful, in particular, in chemically amplified positive and negative type gradation resists. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoresist composition capable of ensuring suitability to high resolution lithography using imaging radiation of 193 nm and to provide a lithographic process using the photoresist composition. SOLUTION: An acid catalyzed positive photoresist composition is provided by using a resist composition containing a cycloolefin polymer with a cydoolefin monomer having a lactone moiety. The photoresist can be imaged with radiation of 193 nm and is developed to form a photoresist structure with improved development characteristics and improved etching resistance. The monomer has no oxygen atom between the lactone moiety and a cycloolefin ring. The lactone moiety is appropriately spirolactone (5- or 6-membered ring) which bonds directly to the cycloolefin ring.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoresist composition having so improved resolution as to enable high resolution lithography performance using imaging radiation of 193 nm. SOLUTION: The photoresist composition is obtained by using an imaging copolymer so as to improve a known alternating copolymer-base photoresist. The imaging copolymer is characterized by the presence of at least a third monomer which enhances the resolution of the photoresist. The performance of the composition is further improved by using a bulky acid active protective group on the imaging copolymer. An alkyl functional cyclicolefin is particularly suitable for use as the third monomer.
Abstract:
ACID-CATALYZED POSITIVE PHOTORESIST COMPOSITIONS WHICH ARE IMAGEABLE WITH 193 NM RADIATION AND ARE DEVELOPABLE TO FORM PHOTORESIST STRUCTURES OF HIGH RESOLUTION AND HIGH ETCH RESISTANCE ARE ENABLED BY THE USE OF A COMBINATION OF CYCLIC OLEFIN POLYMER, PHOTOSENSITIVE ACID GENERATOR AND BULKY HYDROPHOBIC ADDITIVE WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY TRANSPARENT TO 193 NM RADIATION. THE CYCLIC OLEFIN POLYMERS CONTAIN I) CYCLIC OLEFIN UNITS HAVING ACIDIC POLAR FUNCTIONAL MOIETIES THAT PROMOTE SOLUBILITY IN AQUEOUS ALKALINE SOLUTIONS, AND II) CYCLIC OLEFIN UNITS HAVING ACID LABILE MOIETIES THAT INHIBIT SOLUBILITY IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS.
Abstract:
a presente invenção refere-se a composições extrudáveis que foram preparadas compreendendo poli(propileno) e um aditivo líquido compreendendo um grupo lactama. as composições podem conter outros aditivos opcionais, que incluem um poli-hemiaminal, antioxidantes, absorvedores de luz uv e tensoativos. as composições extrudadas têm maior alongamento percentual na ruptura e menor módulo de young em comparação com poli(propileno) extrudado sem o aditivo líquido. estas e outras melhorias de propriedades tornam as composições extrudadas atraentes para formar revestimentos de junta de campo para aplicações em dutos submarinos.
