Abstract: Embodiments of methods are provided herein to form an extreme ultra-violet (EUV) photoresist pattern on a semiconductor substrate using a multilayer photoresist film stack. The disclosed embodiments begin by forming a multilayer photoresist film stack including a plurality of relatively thin photoresist film layers, each layer comprising a different photoresist material. After EUV exposure, the disclosed embodiments selectively develop the different photoresist layers in separate different development steps. In doing so, the process flows and methods disclosed herein increase the resist film thickness and improve development selectivity to avoid the photoresist damage and photoresist pattern collapse that often occurs during conventional EUV lithography processes.

The PMS module may be under a hotel's direct control. The intermediate server system communicates with at least one online travel agency (OTA) module and/or at least one booking engine using Ethereum-based smart contracts for confirming and processing a room reservation event.

In this way, each successful transaction is prevented from wrongly preceded by a later successful transaction. And the room inventory management system neutralizes an overbooking issue accordingly.
