Abstract
The newly formed Center for High Precision Patterning Science (CHiPPS) pursues a holistic approach to patterning science by studying the fundamentals of relevant interactions of light and matter and proposing co-designed materials and processes for precision patterning such as sequence defined and/or structured hybrid photoresists, molecular-level control of solvation steps, self-assembling materials for low-impact stochastics and molecularly precise and selective pattern transfer. The center leverages a world class EUV patterning research facility together with unique X-ray characterization built at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). In this presentation we will introduce the center’s overall efforts in high precision patterning science and, in particular, we will put emphasis on an approach that employs novel self-assembling, hierarchical materials to heal the adverse stochastic effects on EUV photoresists and to enable pattern transfer methods with atomic or molecular precision.
