  • Patent number: 8618002
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pattern formation method capable of preventing formation of surface defects. In the method, a resist surface after subjected to exposure is coated with an acidic film and then subjected to heating treatment. This method is suitably adopted in a process employing liquid immersion lithography and/or light of short wavelength, such as ArF excimer laser beams, for producing a very fine pattern.

  • Publication number: 20110165523
    Abstract: The present invention provides a resist substrate treating solution and a method employing the solution for treating a resist substrate. This treating solution enables to remove efficiently resist residues remaining on a surface of the resist substrate after development, and further to miniaturize a resist pattern. The solution is used for treating a resist substrate having a developed photoresist pattern, and comprises a solvent incapable of dissolving the photoresist pattern and a polymer soluble in the solvent. The developed resist substrate is brought into contact with the treating solution, and then washed with a rinse solution such as water to remove efficiently resist residues remaining on the resist substrate surface. The solvent and the polymer are preferably water and a water-soluble polymer, respectively.
