  • Patent number: 7781145
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are photoresist cleaning solutions useful for cleaning a semiconductor substrate in the last step of a developing step when photoresist patterns are formed. Also disclosed herein are methods for forming photoresist patterns using the solutions. The cleaning solutions of the present invention include H2O as a primary component, a surfactant as an additive, and optionally an alcohol compound. The cleaning solution of the present invention has lower surface tension than that of distilled water which has been used for conventional cleaning solutions, thereby improving resistance to pattern collapse and stabilizing the photoresist pattern formation.

  • Patent number: 7419760
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a top anti-reflective coating composition comprising a bissulfone compound, as a photoacid generator, represented by Formula 1 below: wherein R1 and R2 are independently, a straight, branched or cyclic alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, oxoalkyl or oxoaryl group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms; or a halogen-substituted straight, branched or cyclic alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, oxoalkyl or oxoaryl group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Since the top anti-reflective coating composition dissolves a portion of a photoacid generator present at the top of an underlying photosensitizer, particularly, upon formation of a top anti-reflective coating, it can prevent the top from being formed into a thick section. Therefore, the use of the anti-reflective coating composition enables the formation of a vertical pattern of a semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 7364837
    Abstract: Photoresist cleaning solutions are used to clean semiconductor substrates before or after an exposing step when photoresist patterns are formed. The cleaning solutions include H2O and a nonionic surfactant compound represented by Formula 1. By spraying the disclosed cleaning solutions on a surface of the semiconductor substrate before or after exposing step to form a photoresist pattern, the desired pattern only is obtained and unnecessary patterns generated in undesired regions by ghost images are avoided as excess acid generated by the photoacid generator is neutralized and removed and damage to unexposed portions of the photoresist polymer is avoided. wherein R1 and R2 are independently H, C1-C20 alkyl, C5-C25 alkyl aryl or C1-C10 ester; m is 1 or 2; n is an integer ranging from 10 to 300; and o is 0 or 1.

  • Patent number: 7288364
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a top anti-reflective coating composition which comprises a photoacid generator represented by Formula 1 below. wherein n is between 7 and 25. Since the top anti-reflective coating composition dissolves a portion of a photoacid generator present at the top of an underlying photosensitizer, particularly, upon formation of a top anti-reflective coating, it can prevent the top from being formed into a thick section. Therefore, the use of the anti-reflective coating composition enables the formation of a vertical pattern on a semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 6842028
    Abstract: In the present invention, an apparatus of testing a leakage protection reliability of an integrated circuit interconnection. The apparatus has at least one comb-like pattern, a serpentine-like pattern and means of applying a bias to the patterns and forms a maximum field region at an interconnection formed around a via, i.e., at the end of a tooth portion composing the comb-like pattern. In one structure of the present invention, the comb-like pattern is formed at one level, and the serpentine-like pattern has a plurality of unit parts corresponding to the tooth portions, respectively, and connection parts connecting the neighboring two unit parts. Each of the unit parts is formed at the same level with the comb-like pattern and spaced apart from the tooth portion by a minimum design length according to a design rule.
