    Abstract: Chemically amplified photoresists exhibit increased transparency at a wavelength of 157 nm. The chemically amplified photoresist includes a polymer containing first repeating units derived from a cinnamic acid or a cinnamic ester, which are at least monofluorinated or substituted by fluoroalkyl groups. Processes for structuring substituents using transparency enhancement of resist copolymers for 157 nm photolithography using fluorinated cinnamic acid derivatives are also included.

    Abstract: A chemically-enhanced photoresist comprising polymer, photo-acid generator and solvent, in which the polymer contains organosilyl side chains in addition to acid-labile groups and anchor groups for attachment of a post-enhancement agent. A chemically-enhanced photo-resist comprising (a) a polymer with (a1) acid-labile groups attached to polar groups, resulting in increased solubility of the polymer in polar developers after cleavage of the acid-labile groups and (a2) anchor groups for attachment of a post-enhancement agent, (b) a photo-acid generator and (c) a solvent. The polymer contains first repeat units of formula (I). A = a single bond, -O- or -COO-; B = -(CR R )n-, -(OCR R )n-, 5-20C cycloalkylene or 6-22C arylene, with the proviso that B is a CH2 group and R is H if A is a single bond, and that A and B do not form a Si-O-C group; R = H, 1-10C alkyl, CN or CF3; R -R = H, 1-10C alkyl, 5-20C cycloalkyl or 6-22C aryl (all optionally with acid-cleavable groups attached via ether links, ester links or acetals), or a siloxane group (not simultaneously methyl); R , R = 1-10C alkyl; n = 0-6. An Independent claim is also included for a method for the production of structured resists by (a) coating the above photo-resist onto a substrate; (b) removing solvent to form a light-sensitive film; (c) exposing parts of the film so as to liberate acid in the exposed parts; (d) contrasting the exposed film, with cleavage of acid-labile groups by the liberated acid; (e) developing with a developer to remove the exposed parts and form a structured resist; (f) optionally releasing the anchor groups; (g) applying a post-enhancer; and (h) removing excess post-enhancer.

    Abstract: A process for the post-exposure amplification of resist structures uses amplification of resist structures of fluorinated resist polymers by structural growth of the structures by targeted chemical bonding of fluorinated oligomers. In the first step, a fluorine-containing resist is applied to a substrate. After exposure and development of the resist, bonding of an amplification agent chemically amplifies the resist structures. A fluorine-containing amplification agent is preferably used to achieve an improved reaction between polymer and amplification agent due to the improved miscibility of the molecular chains.

    Abstract: Re-amplification of resist structures uses a chemically amplified resist containing polymer (I) with acid-labile groups and (protected) anchor groups (AG) for co-ordination with amplifying agent (II), photoacid and solvent. The resist is exposed, heated, developed and treated with (II). (II) and AG each contain a polar or ionic group and form a non-covalent bond on co-ordination. Re-amplification of resist structures comprises: (1) coating a substrate with a chemically amplified resist containing a polymer (I) with acid-labile groups, which release a group increasing the solubility of (I) in aqueous alkaline developers, and also optionally protected anchor groups (AG) for co-ordination with amplifying agent (II), a photoacid and a solvent (III); (2) removing (III); (3) selective exposure to form a latent image; (4) heating to a first temperature to convert the latent image to a chemical profile; (5) development with an aqueous alkaline developer, which dissolves the areas formed by the chemical profile from the substrate, giving a structurized resist; (6) releasing AG from the protected AG if necessary; (7) applying (II) to the structurized resist; and (8) removing excess (II) by washing. (II) and AG each contain a polar or ionic group and form a non-covalent bond on co-ordination.
