  • Publication number: 20140232018
    Abstract: A resist underlayer film forming composition for EUV lithography, comprising: as a silane, a hydrolyzable silane, a hydrolyzate of the hydrolyzable silane, a hydrolysis condensate of the hydrolyzable silane, or a mixture of any of the hydrolyzable silane, the hydrolyzate, and the hydrolysis condensate, wherein the hydrolyzable silane includes a combination of tetramethoxysilane, an alkyltrimethoxysilane, and an aryltrialkoxysilane, and the aryltrialkoxysilane is represented by formula (1): (R2)n2—R1—(CH2)n1—Si(X)3??Formula (1) In formula (1), R1 is an aromatic ring consisting of a benzene ring or a naphthalene ring or a ring including an isocyanuric acid structure, R2 is a substituent replacing a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring and is a halogen atom or a C1-10 alkoxy group, and X is a C1-10 alkoxy group, a C2-10 acyloxy group, or a halogen group.

  • Patent number: 8658341
    Abstract: There is provided to a pattern reversal film forming composition that is capable of forming a pattern reversal film which is not mixed with a resist pattern formed on a substrate, and that is only capable of forming a pattern reversal film advantageously covering the pattern, but also irrespective of whether the resist pattern is coarse or fine, capable of forming a planar film excellent in temporal stability on the pattern. A pattern reversal film forming composition including a polysiloxane, an additive and an organic solvent, characterized in that the polysiloxane is a product of a hydrolysis and/or condensation reaction of a silane compound containing a tetraalkoxysilane of Si(OR1)4 and an alkoxysilane of XnSi(OR2)4-n, and the tetraalkoxysilane is used in a ratio of 1 to 50% by mole based on the number of moles of the whole silane compound; and a pattern reversal film and a method of forming a reversed pattern in which the composition is used.

  • Publication number: 20140017896
    Abstract: There is provided a silicon-containing composition for forming a pattern reversal film that can be reworked by an organic solvent that is normally used for the removal of resist patterns. A composition for forming a pattern reversal film, characterized by comprising: polysiloxane; an additive; and an organic solvent, wherein the polysiloxane has a structural unit of Formula (1) and a structural unit of Formula (2): (where R1 is a C1-8 alkyl group), and (where R2 is an acryloyloxy group or a methacryloyloxy group; and n is an integer of 2 to 4), and the additive is an organic acid having at least two of a carboxy group and/or a hydroxy group; and a pattern reversal film and a method for forming a reversal pattern by use of the composition.
