摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for forming a photoresist pattern by employing a silylation process, and particularly to a method for forming a photoresist pattern according to a top surface imaging (TSI) process using a photoresist composition comprising a cross-linker having a cross-linker monomer of the following Chemical Formula 1 or 2. The photoresist composition containing a polymer of the above cross-linker monomer is preferably used in a TSI process which has been optimized by controlling the conditions of each step, such as temperature and time, thereby obtaining an ultrafine pattern that can be more efficiently applied to a 4 G or 16 G DRAM semiconductor fabrication process: wherein, R1, R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R, m and n are as defined in the specification attached hereto.

摘要:
A photoresist including a copolymer prepared from bicycloalkene derivative, maleic anhydride and/or vinylene carbonate, which has molecular weight ranging from about 3,000 to 100,000. The photoresist can be used for submicrolithography employing deep ultra violety as a light source. In addition to being of high etch resistance and thermal resistance, the photoresist has good adhesiveness and can be developed in a TMAH solution.
摘要:
A method for forming photoresist patterns, comprising the steps of: coating a chemically enhanced photoresist film on a lower layer; forming a silicon monomer layer on the chemically enhanced photoresist film; exposing the monomer layer through a mask, to selectively polymerize the silicon monomer; removing the unexposed regions of the monomer layer by development; and subjecting the remaining polymerized regions to oxygen plasma developing process to form oxide films through reaction of oxygen with the silicon contained in the polymerized regions and to form photoresist patterns through selective etching of the photoresist film, with the oxide films serving as a mask. Exposure of the silicon monomer generates protons from the chemically enhanced photoresist film which trigger the polymerization of the silicon monomer. The polymer thus formed is not removed by typical developing solutions and serves as a mask when etching the photoresist film with oxygen plasma because a thin silicon oxide (SiO.sub.2) is formed on the silicon contained polymer.

摘要:
The present invention provides an additive for a photoresist composition for a resist flow process. A compound of following Formula 1 having low glass transition temperature is added to a photoresist composition containing a polymer which is not suitable for the resist flow process due to its high glass transition temperature, thus improving a flow property of the photoresist composition. As a result, the photoresist composition comprising an additive of Formula 1 can be used for the resist flow process. wherein, A, B, R and R′ are as defined in the specification of the invention.
摘要:
Photoresist compositions which are useful in a resist flow process are disclosed. A process for forming a contact hole pattern using the disclosed photoresist compositions is also disclosed. The disclosed photoresist resin includes a mixture of two or more polymers. Preferably, a mixture of a first copolymer and a second copolymer are cross-linked, and thus it prevents a contact hole from being collapsed due to over flow which is typically observed during a conventional resist flow process. In addition, the disclosed photoresist compositions allow formation of uniform sized patterns.
