Abstract

Several kinds of hydrophobic or hydrophilic polymers were evaluated in order to survey what kind of polymer improved the film life of chemically amplified resist(CAR) when it's used as a protecting layer. Hydrophilic polymers such as polyacrylic acid(PAA), polyethyleneglycol(PEG) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) were not good materials for this purpose, because they couldn't maintain resist property during their storage. Polyolefin(ZEP-AF) was the best polymer, though it caused slightly rough surface of resist patterns.
