Abstract

In 2019, Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography begins its integration into high volume manufacturing to replace 193-nm lithography at key steps in the fabrication of integrated circuits. To achieve the requirements of the 7- and 5-nm nodes, a new photoresist technology is required to replace traditional chemically-amplified photoresists (CAR). One novel technology incorporates metal atoms with high EUV absorptivity into the photoresist. In this work, we describe the development, evaluation and mechanistic investigation of triorganoantimony(V) dicarboxylate complexes as novel photoresists for EUV lithography.
