Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a poly(o-hydroxyamide), a preparing process thereof, a polybenzooxazole, a preparing process thereof, a dielectric component containing a polybenzooxazole as a dielectric material and a process for forming this dielectric component, in particularly, to obtain such a polymer having the safety at high temperatures and for use in a microchip as makes it possible to form a minute conductor truck in the microchip. SOLUTION: The novel poly(o-hydroxyamide) is expressed by formula (I). The poly(o-hydroxyamide) can be cyclized to give a polybenzooxazole having a good barrier effect on the diffusion of a metal. The poly(o-hydroxyamide) is coated on a semiconductor substrate, then heated to thereby convert possibly into the polybenzooxazole. A diffusion barrier can be distributed substantially between a semiconductor truck and a dielectric material as the result of the good barrier effect on the diffusion of the metal.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel polymer easily spreadable on an electronic part with a very favorable electron insulating effect after cyclization, sufficient stability to chemicals and elevated temperatures, good adhesiveness and filling properties. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to an dielectric material for aluminum and copper metallizing being stable at elevated temperature. Polybenzoxazole is prepared by reacting bis-o-aminophenol with a dicarboxylic acid or its activated derivative (acid chloride) to give poly-o-hydroxamide followed by heating for dehydration and cyclization. The dielectric material of this polymer composition is very suitable for filling a narrow trench, surprisingly even though it is dehydrated during cyclization, and the filled trench shows no defect, bubble or crack. The polybenzoxazole has a low dielectric constant (≤2.7) and suitable for an electric insulator and further exhibits favorable adhesiveness to all the surfaces participating in microelectron optics.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a resist system for lithography methods for the production of semiconductor components at wavelengths of 0.1 -150 nm, characterised by at least one polymer or copolymer comprising at least one acid-labile group. The invention also relates to the use of a resist system and a lithography method, whereby it is possible to obtain high sensitivity, especially in the EUV range, and no limitation of the process window occurs by undesirable cross-linking in the resist system, even at high doses of exposure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for metallizing dielectrics during which a photosensitive dielectric is applied to a substrate. The dielectric is then exposed to light though a mask, is seeded with a metal and subjected to a temperature treatment and, afterwards, the dielectric is chemically metallized. Alternatively, the dielectric can be firstly seeded with a metal after being applied to the substrate, and then exposed to light through a mask. Afterwards, excess seeding material is removed and the dielectric is chemically metallized.

Abstract:
The method involves applying a resist (1) on a substrate and a resist material that forms the resist is provided such that the resist has sensitivity with respect to different lithography techniques. Rough and fine structures with different lithography techniques are mapped in the same resist using a positive lacquer by pre-exposure implemented as flow exposure. A negative lacquer is provided based on epoxy resin. An independent claim is also included for a method for transferring rough and fine structures into a substrate.
