Improved control over the dimensions of a patterned photo-resist

Control over the dimensions of a patterned photo-resist to better control the critical dimensions of fabricated devices


Overview

 

The portfolio relates to a method of improving control over the dimensions of a patterned photo-resist, which enables better control of the critical dimensions of a photo-mask, reticle, etc. which is fabricated using the patterned photo-resist. Method includes reshaping a patterned organic photoresist surface, organic bottom anti-reflective coating for high performance mask making using optical imaging, and preparing optically imaged high performance photomasks. In addition the method of extending the stability of a photoresist during direct writing of an image upon the photoresist, and increasing the shelf life of a blank photomask substrate, and sensitized chemically amplified photoresist for use in photomask fabrication and semiconductor processing.

Primary Application of the Technology

Semiconductor photo and electro lithography

Other Potential Applications

Any other critical image lithography
