  • Publication number: 20240118618
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first layer having an organic material over a substrate. A second layer is formed over the first layer, wherein the second layer includes a silicon-containing polymer having pendant acid groups or pendant photoacid generator groups. The forming a second layer includes: forming a layer of a composition including a silicon-based polymer and a material containing an acid group or photoacid generator group over the first layer, floating the material containing an acid group or photoacid generator group over the silicon-based polymer, and reacting the material containing an acid group or photoacid generator group with the silicon-based polymer to form an upper second layer including a silicon-based polymer having pendant acid groups or pendant photoacid generator groups overlying a lower second layer comprising the silicon-based polymer. A photosensitive layer is formed over the second layer, and the photosensitive layer is patterned.

  • Publication number: 20240103375
    Abstract: A method of forming a patterned photoresist layer includes the following operations: (i) forming a patterned photoresist on a substrate; (ii) forming a molding layer covering the patterned photoresist; (iii) reflowing the patterned photoresist in the molding layer; and (iv) removing the molding layer from the reflowed patterned photoresist. In some embodiments, the molding layer has a glass transition temperature that is greater than or equal to the glass transition temperature of the patterned photoresist. In yet some embodiments, the molding layer has a glass transition temperature that is 3° C.-30° C. less than the glass transition temperature of the patterned photoresist.

  • Patent number: 11942322
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a metallic photoresist layer is formed over a target layer to be patterned, the metallic photoresist layer is selectively exposed to actinic radiation to form a latent pattern, and the latent pattern is developed by applying a developer to the selectively exposed photoresist layer to form a pattern. The metallic photo resist layer is an alloy layer of two or more metal elements, and the selective exposure changes a phase of the alloy layer.

  • Publication number: 20230211488
    Abstract: An electrical tool includes a housing, a motor, a bearing set and a shock-absorbing element. The motor is disposed in the housing and has a driving shaft and a nut. The bearing set is arranged on a side of the motor and includes a bearing seat, a bearing and a tool spindle. The tool spindle has a slot disposed at one end thereof facing the motor, and another end thereof is disposed protrusively from the bearing seat. One end of the driving shaft is combined in the slot through the nut. The shock-absorbing element sheathes the nut and is attached to an inner wall of the slot to reduce the vibration and noise during the operation of the electrical tool.
