Abstract: Patterning compositions are described based on organo tin dodecamers with hydrocarbyl ligands, oxo ligands, hydroxo ligands and carboxylato ligands. Alternative dodecamer embodiments have organo tin ligands in place of hydrocarbyl ligands. The organo tin ligands can be incorporated into the dodecamers from a monomer with the structure (RCC)3SnQ, where R is a hydrocarbyl group and Q is a alkyl tin moiety with a carbon bonded to the Sn atom of the monomer and with a Sn bonded as a replacement of a quaternary carbon atom with bonds to 4 carbon atoms. Some or all of the carboxylato and hydroxyl ligands can be replaced with fluoride ions. Good EUV patterning results are obtained with the dodecamer based patterning compositions.

Abstract: Organotin clusters are described with the formula R3Sn3(O2CR?)5?x(OH)2+x(?3-O) with 0?x<2; R=branched or cycloalkyl with 1 to 31 carbon atoms; R?=H or alkyl with 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Three carboxylato ligands are bridging, and two OH ligands are bridging. The remaining two carboxylato ligands are in non-bridging configurations, and the non-bridging carboxylato ligands are exchangeable in solution. Solutions of these clusters are suitable for forming radiation sensitive coatings that can be used to pattern nanometer scale structures. The radiation sensitive coatings are particularly suitable for EUV patterning.

Abstract: Patterning with UV and EUV light is described with organo tin sulfide (and selenide) clusters. The clusters are solids at room temperature and are soluble in organic solvents that are not too polar. Irradiation can either fragment a carbon metal bond or crosslink unsaturated organic moieties to stabilize the irradiated material. The irradiated material then resists dissolving in organic solvents so that the un-irradiated material can be contacted with an organic solvent to develop the latent image formed with the radiation. Radiation patternable layers can be formed through coating a solution or through vapor deposition. Corresponding precursor solutions, structures and methods are described.
