  • Patent number: 11315788
    Abstract: A process of realizing a silicon micropattern having a large aspect ratio in a semiconductor-manufacturing process, and a novel wet etching method that includes treating an organic carbon film layer so that a hydrofluoric-acid-resistant material is selectively attached to the organic carbon film layer and then wet etching the same using an aqueous solution containing hydrofluoric acid, thus forming a pattern, are proposed. In the method of forming the pattern by wet etching, etching is performed so that an active region having a depth of several ?m in an object to be etched is not damaged when a pattern having a small CD is formed, thereby exhibiting an effect of providing a method of forming a micropattern.

  • Patent number: 11199779
    Abstract: A photoresist developer composition for an EUV (extreme ultraviolet) light source in a semiconductor-manufacturing process is proposed. Further, the photoresist developer composition for an EUV light source for forming a micropattern and a lithography process of forming a pattern on a semiconductor substrate using an EUV light source using the composition are proposed. The composition includes an aqueous solution containing 2 to 10 wt % of tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAH).
