Abstract:Spin-on glass (SOG) underlayers to enhance extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography for patterning below 28nm pitch require an in-depth understanding of the required adhesion forces necessary for good lithography.Here, we proposed a fundamentally new SOG underlayer platform composed of polymer blends that can achieve superior uniformity to improve line fidelity and provide a design path for underlayer materials. The structure and property of elemental composition and surface energy can be controlled easily and pr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
