Patent number: 9823564Abstract: Stabilized precursor solutions can be used to form radiation inorganic coating materials. The precursor solutions generally comprise metal suboxide cations, peroxide-based ligands and polyatomic anions. Design of the precursor solutions can be performed to achieve a high level of stability of the precursor solutions. The resulting coating materials can be designed for patterning with a selected radiation, such as ultraviolet light, x-ray radiation or electron beam radiation. The radiation patterned coating material can have a high contrast with respect to material properties, such that development of a latent image can be successful to form lines with very low line-width roughness and adjacent structures with a very small pitch.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Inpria CorporationInventors: Jason K. Stowers, Alan J. Telecky, Douglas A. Keszler, Andrew Grenville
