  • Patent number: 9093387
    Abstract: A stack of a dielectric material layer and a metallic material layer are formed on a substrate. A first organic planarization layer, a non-metallic hard mask layer, and a photoresist layer are sequentially deposited over the metallic material layer. The photoresist layer is lithographically patterned, and the pattern in the photoresist layer is transferred through the non-metallic hard mask layer, the first organic planarization layer, and the metallic material layer to form a cavity. A second organic planarization layer is deposited within the cavity and over remaining portions of the photoresist layer. The second organic planarization layer and the photoresist layer are recessed, and the non-metallic hard mask layer is subsequently removed. Remaining portions of the first and second organic planarization layers are simultaneously removed to provide physically exposed surfaces of the patterned metallic material layer and a top surface of the dielectric material layer.

  • Patent number: 9040225
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a developable bottom antireflective coating (BARC) composition and a pattern forming method using the BARC composition. The BARC composition includes a first polymer having a first carboxylic acid moiety, a hydroxy-containing alicyclic moiety, and a first chromophore moiety; a second polymer having a second carboxylic acid moiety, a hydroxy-containing acyclic moiety, and a second chromophore moiety; a crosslinking agent; and a radiation sensitive acid generator. The first and second chromophore moieties each absorb light at a wavelength from 100 nm to 400 nm. In the patterning forming method, a photoresist layer is formed over a BARC layer of the BARC composition. After exposure, unexposed regions of the photoresist layer and the BARC layer are selectively removed by a developer to form a patterned structure in the photoresist layer. The BARC composition and the pattern forming method are especially useful for implanting levels.

  • Patent number: 8986918
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid photoresist composition for improved resolution and a pattern forming method using the photoresist composition. The photoresist composition includes a radiation sensitive acid generator, a crosslinking agent and a polymer having a hydrophobic monomer unit and a hydrophilic monomer unit containing a hydroxyl group. At least some of the hydroxyl groups are protected with an acid labile moiety having a low activation energy. The photoresist is capable of producing a hybrid response to a single exposure. The patterning forming method utilizes the hybrid response to form a patterned structure in the photoresist layer. The photoresist composition and the pattern forming method of the present invention are useful for printing small features with precise image control, particularly spaces of small dimensions.
