Abstract:

Novel assist layer to enhance EUV lithography performance of photoresists on different substrate

Underlayer shows advantages in assisting photoresist-substrate adhesion and EUV patterning, especially at small features. To further enhance the lithographic performance and reduce the underlayer thickness, a novel sub-1-nm layer was proposed in contrast to the conventional 5-nm underlayers. Comprehensive studies on the structure, stability, coating quality, and surface energy were conducted. EUV lithography demonstrates improved process window, depth of focus, and LWR of spin-on layer on Si wafer, when compared to the non-modified substrate.
