Abstract: The problem of reliably adhering resists to underlying surfaces made of, for example, phosphorus-doped silicon dioxide or silicon nitride is a particularly difficult one. In practice, the use of standard adhesion promoters such as HMDS provides only marginal relief. By baking a relatively thin layer of resist on the underlying layer, a tenacious bond between the thin layer and the underlying surface is achieved. Subsequently, a relatively thick layer of resist is applied and patterned in a standard way. An excellent bond between the thick and thin resist layers results. Subsequent processing of the patterned thick layer leaves the two noted bonded interfaces virtually intact.
