Abstract

Resist systems based on acid-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitution have been demonstrated. These systems show high sensitivity and high resolution. The design allows for aqueous base development avoiding the swelling normally associated with negative crosslinking resists. Chemical amplification is achieved due to the catalytic nature of the crosslinking reaction involved. Further improvements in resist sensitivity and resolution may be achieved through different formulations and optimization of development conditions. We are currently developing other crosslinkers that may possess enhanced characteristics for this process.
